For the people who have specced acc why did you spec it? For the people who didn't why did you not?

Didn't, because I would leave it in sport all the time anyway so a waste of money for me.

Exactly my reasoning too.

I did because the roads i use most are not great and i get a little tired of the standard suspension in my mk6 from time to time so the ACC will make a big difference to me.

I specced it.  As an everyday car I wanted the option to switch between comfort and sport depending on mood and road conditions.  I don't need or want a bone-shaker all of the time, and my Mk5 can get a bit tiresome at times on the ever-increasing crappy roads.  Plus, there are a lot of raised paved areas on the roads where I live.  By all accounts, the quality of ride in comfort is way above anything in its class.

I didn't, because I've got it and never use it, comfort is too wallowy, sport is great once in a blue moon. Normal is ideal most of the time.

Interesting to hear how people never use it, but actually, they are using it all the time...  Hoping the second generation used on the GTI is as effective as the reviews make out!

Dirvy, this is not a mark 6 GTI ACC. So it's not possible to compare.

This is an option that I deliberated the most with. Until I read Monkey Harris' review, who in my opinion is one of the best performance motor journalists out there. For me he summed it up as a must have when he said....

Comfort mode
Or maybe not quite, because the GTI's chassis throws some surprises on the road. In comfort mode, this car is one of the most impressive fast hatches I've ever driven

Our roads are not the best. Pot holes unevenness, speed breakers. Trust me, you'll be thinking damn, I shoulda ticked that box

Obviously no one has driven a mk 7 gti or gtd so it will be very interesting to see what people think when they've driven one.
