Adaptive chassis worth the cash?
« on: 09 February 2014, 10:03 »
About to order a new gti (hooray!) and keen to hear advice of others that have driven cars with & without the optional £800 adaptive chassis control. I would only really be interested if it made significant difference in smooth comfy ride.... Presume it won't increase resale value? Thanks for any help

I have it on the MK6 and you can tell the difference between Normal/Comfort/Sport but there's only so much it can achieve with 19 inch wheels and low profile tyres. I tend to leave it in normal.

On GTD equipped with Nogaro 18" wheels + adaptive chassis, comfort is better than GTD 6 with 17" and no adaptive chassis.
I would highly recommend it

On a car I wasn't going to keep long term I'd consider having it.

Got it on the Rocco, and it's top notch!! When you put it in sport mode, it tightens up the steering as well as firming up the suspension :cool:
