Well, I don't know about the earlier ones, Ricard... My 66 Corsa had those trailing arms and they worked just they way they were supposed to work... But that 'Vair was the only one I ever drove or owned...

But I do know that the independent rear wheel suspesion can be a little tricky if you are not familiar with driving cars set up with it... I had a lot of VW's and owned and ran a VW shop for several years and sold read sway bars to just about every customer who brught their car to me for work... I mean, they were cheap and they really did a fine job of keeping the rear camber within safe limits under hard cornering...
