This is a second version of the DCC which is active all the time no matter the mode and any comparisons to those who have had previously on Scirroco have to take that into consideration as it is a different system.
Had S Line suspension Quattro for 5 + years on 18 inch rims and as much as loved the on rails feeling that was getting the hard ride totally took out any enjoyment I was getting given state of the vast majority of roads was travelling on and particularly locally.
So maybe as knee jerk and not taking any chances I went for DCC and it is a revelation and like someone said there is noticeable difference between the modes.
Comfort is perfect for local driving where I am hardly in any position to push the GTD and where having a permanent sport ride has no benefit at all. It is total comfort the smoothest of rides even over quite pitted roads and do not be thinking you lose any ability to push it, as it still is more than decent in this mode as the Stig testified in his Top Gear test, you lose nothing in reality.
Wife has had prolapsed disc and cussed the S Line repeatedly but with ride, lumbar and heated seats it's actually made a difference to her health as she no longer gets out of the car with any discomfort.
But when hit some roads where like to push it the Sport button does noticeably make car stiffer, steering tighter and throttle sharper and it is more the tightening of the steering that is of the main benefit as it can be a little loose in normal.
My question has always been is the Sport set up the same in a GTI/GTD without any active suspension? I doubt it as the DCC is active all the time so it must still be making a difference over a GTI/GTD set up without any assistance?
You adjust to what you have and I am sure the GTI/GTD is far better than my S Line in standard set up but I could not be happier with the DCC it allows me to have real comfort where I want it and low and rigid ride would have no benefit but it also turns into a car more like my S Line was at a press of a button.
Think the only way anyone can judge though is to go try themselves on an extended ride as its still highly subjective due to everyones different previous experiences.
With or without you getting a great car - 4k miles now and just a joy to drive now loosened up
