    Worth Getting Adaptive Suspension?

    G'day,

    Is it worth getting the adaptive suspension of the Golf? I was quite happy with the standard sprung one on my test ride. The steering could be better though, it did not give me much feedback of the road.

    Cheers,
    Alan

    dont bother, if your that keen on that gimmic then yeh, otherwise aftermarket suspension is the way to go

    Yes! Definitely worth it.
    I did a test drive 2 weeks ago, I could surely feel the different between 'sport' and 'comfort' mode.
    Setting into 'Sport' mode will gave a slightly better thortle response, better steering feel, and firmer ride.

    I would hate to pay for the new shockers/struts when the time comes to replace them.

    I'd suggest you test drive a Golf with the ACC already fitted an play around with the different settings and see if you notice any difference compared to one without ACC.

    If you like the ACC and can afford is then buy it otherwise use the money to buy different wheel or other accessories to distinguish 'your' Golf.

    There's a guy on golfmk6 with a TDI with ACC and 50mm H&R's and apparently the adjustable dampers work quite well with the dumped springs. (see picture thread)

    Hmmm.. possibilities

    To me it's one of the major upgrades of the MK6!

    today i got a loan mk6 tdi with acc. Initial impression is the ride in normal or comfort is more comfy than the sport oriented 118tsi. Sports mode is firmer so handling should be superior. Yet to test out for sure.

    I think if you are open to spending money on it but still unsure its worthwhile. The comfort is really good on great north road in sydney(five dock to drumoyne)
