Correct. And also on the Mk7.5 until very recently, where it can be optioned on the MY18.5. VW would never admit, but there was a HUGE cry over lots of forums because it was an option on the higher spec, non-performance models, but not on the flagship unless it was a Wolfie.

That situation has been sorted out now.

My Mk7 doesn't have the dynaudio, but it would be a box ticked if I were buying one now. The standard system is "just OK" - better than some, but needs more guts. Dynaudio sorts that.

Adaptive suspension is not a necessity I don't think if the single setting is stiff enough. I leave mine in Sport/Race setting for the dampers, and only even think of comfort mode if there is extended poor road surface at urban road speeds. I don't find it harsh at all, and like to feel that the car is bolted to the road, without wallow or slop. Comfort setting is more like a magic carpet ride - doesn't suit the car in my opinion. I've not driven an R without the adaptive dampers, s have no first hand comparison as to relative feel compared to the adaptive setting. Hopefully they have set it closer to "sport" than "normal"
