i have not got ACC :sad: but the handling is immense as it is mate, i have had it on some twisty roads and it's road holding is brilliant and lets you get the power down at all times
So your VW brother didn't pick the ACC option for you?  Did you ask him why?  I would be curious to know his thought behind.

apparently it's only worth the money if you are planning to do loads of track days as the handling is immense without it anyway, and i can vouch for that, the handling is brilliant

Thanks a lot!  I am still struggling if I should go for ACC (but with a long wait time) or stick with the conventional suspension setup.

mate, I had a Scirocco with ACC and now have my GTI without it and do not miss it one bit.  If you are pootling around with an elderly mother in tow (such as another forum member) then go for it but otherwise I think it's not a necessity but a luxury.  If money is no object go for it as the comfort setting makes motorways slightly nicer but not enough to justify the cost.
Thanks Gossa! The comment you've given is more qualitative and easy for me to understand!  Thanks!

I had to pick my final choice Colour and wheel comb, I needed to make my final choice this week. You helped me decide on 18s+silver  :cool: . So thanks mate.

All i need to do now is workout if i think Xenons are worth it lol.
As i keep worrying about the long term reliability of them since they swivel (will own this car prob ~10years!). Also at £1025 im beggining to think are they really worth it for how i use the car and i wondering how good or bad the standard lights are?
