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.

Bought 2 years ago as a 1 owner car, FVWSH and 10k miles
It’s a keeper

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:
