Dynamic / Adaptive chassis control (DCC / ACC)

[elisiX]

I too was told it's nothing that special by the dealer who test drove an MK6 equipped with ACC and one without.

I personally dont plan on tracking my car either but if I did, i'd be going for a coil over/wheel setup before worrying about ACC.

I have a Mk6 Sports Pack with ACC, & one without ACC.

I definitely notice the difference, & I recommend you tick that option.

If I had my chance again, I would have had ACC on both.

Just my opinion....

Can you please elaborate.

What is the difference?

Is it a worthwhile option for street driving?

Would it mostly benefit those driving on the edge (track)?

etc.

Hi All

thanks for the feedback.. i to didn't notice a huge difference without the ACC. so it's really a matter of choice at the end of the day. I am leaning towards not having the option put in and will replace with a Xenon headlamp.. that's my gut feeling..

Also guys, what are your thoughts about paint colour? i am going for the white and it's not a metallic paint colour.. Does this make a difference whether it's mettalic versus non metallic?

I'd drop the Park Assist and go for the ACC.

You go forwards through corners far more often than you reverse park.....

lol.. good point.

The Park Assist came into it when I complained (within my 24hr cooling off period) that they hadn't given me a good enough deal.

They basically said either take $1600 off the car or choose another option. The Mrs liked the sound of Park Assist so I chose that.

If the order is finalized I could always change it to ACC but I would think that PA will be a much more desirable option down the line come resale.

You are right though, I am driving the car much more often than parking it and I am sure someone will say that I should worry about resale either.

ACC is definitely noticeable on GTI. Especially on sport mode. It firms up the suspension and makes the throttle more responsible. It's brilliant when we tested on VW's track day. But when I tested it on normal roads later, the sport mode was too firm, I personally feel very uncomfortable on Sydney's roads. When on Normal mode, there is not much different to normal GTI. That's why I did not put ACC on my option list when I ordered my GTI.

Hi
My main reason going for the Detroits is for looks plus their OEM supplied .
Reading a couple of articles about the ACC and 18's it looks like it can offer the ride of the 17's but the option of a tighter ride when asked .

Any 18"s & ACC owners out there .

Cheers

There's a few threads discussing this already mate. Some reviews say the ACC is too harsh for street driving, others praise it. Everyone has an opinion on them.
