Adaptive chassis control thingy

[Bill_the_Bear]

Can still change my order with no cost implications up until build day.

The dealer says that?  Over in this other thread VW are saying that and changes made after today will trigger a full repricing at the new price level.  So if you want to change your order it will be cheapest to do so today.

There is definitely some mismatch between what some of us are being told, which pretty much sums up everything else experienced so far!  You watch, when our cars arrive they will be nothing like what we hoped!

As long as they don't turn up looking like Honda Civics.  I hate it when that happens.

Haha!  Urgh, the Civic is one ugly car, made even worse with its recent facelift!

All your doing is changing an option. Your not actually ordering a new one. Salesman said this happened a few years ago but dealers complained and VW did the orders as agreed. You shouldn't get penalised for amending your order.

I agree, it's crazy, and at the very most all you should do is get charged the higher rate on the new option added, not the whole damn car and existing options!

gryzor - are you getting adaptive chassis control on yours?

[Gryzor]

Yes I am.

[mcmaddy]

I can't decide whether to go for it or not?

Spin a coin? 

What is your location?  Many bumpy surfaces?  Plan any track driving?

I'm still sceptical its really needed, but yeah I added it.

This might help pursuade you to pick it:

If you want the opposite article consider that there is little to no evidence that it makes any noticeable difference.  So why would you pay another 800?
