Have a look at my thread in here on my Easter road trip for my thoughts on Adaptive Chassis Control.

TLDR: It's awesome - you should get it!

Have a look at my thread in here on my Easter road trip for my thoughts on Adaptive Chassis Control.

Good read - I didn't realize that just 1 x R-line wheel costs $2400

Its good to know the Adaptive Chassis Control & Progressive Steering show noticeable difference

Thanks

Hi Guys,

We have had a Mk7 gti and comfort line in the garage for a few years now and can offer a little experience;
1- the adaptive suspension = really good, when i first got my gti we went on a road trip and i tested out the different settings and couldn't pick the difference, but after a few months, it seemed to be dramatically different, we would go on a long road trip, put in in comfort and it would feel like you were floating along in a commodore, then around town i just left it in the normal setting for more spirited driving.
2- progressive steering, also really good, i was lucky enough to drive 2 golfs side by side one with one without, with is beautiful to drive, without is also good, but where i really noticed was on tight turns where you have extra work on the wheel.

In the last month i swapped the GTi for a r-line Tiguan - because we needed more space, i was actually tossing up between the sport line and Rline, i know there is nearly 10k in it plus the great finance on the sportline. but when i drove the sport line after getting out of my GTi it just didn't feel special, so after about a month of deliberation, i sucked it up and went for the Rline and have not looked back.

the only thing that i thought could have been a little better is the brakes, they could have a bit more bite.

ACC is sport transforms the car and makes it so much tighter, its way too sloppy in all other modes, especially driving through the mountains.

Previous Golf R ACC also made a huge different to the way to car drives.

Also, I was bored and decided to merge the three models for a comparison of the front..

Top two from carsales and bottom one is mine.

Tried to find the same colour for each pic. Hope this helps.

I’ll pass on the sportline, the R-Line has the right stuff

If you have time to wait and budget for it then R-line is great. I think the Sportline is actualy the sweet spot in terms of value in the range. It comes with a fair bit of kit for the $ and is the cheapest way to get the best engine/drivetrain/suspension set-up. Add 1.8% finance into the mix and it's a pretty good deal. Pity that it's being discontinued....
