Hello,
This question is mostly directed to those who are interested in ultimate road comfort(especially bump noise and vibration), as this is my ultimate goal in the new car that I want to order. Anyone else who tries to maximize handling, your comments are welcome, but it is obvious that we are looking for a completely opposite thing.
Also disclaimer, in my country, the price of a GTI and R is almost unforgiving, so I am going for the 1.5 150 hp version of the Golf.
I want to maximize road comfort as roads here are really, really bad outside the motorway/highway. I was wondering if adding the DCC with 17" wheels and having it almost always in Comfort mode, would make the car glide over bumps, the way a more premium sedan would do. Or is that a dream/illusion?Are the gains worth it, or I am I better off starting to look for a more premium/bigger car like a Passat/A4 to achieve that result?
The DCC option is only available once you upgrade to the so called "R-Line" version over here in Greece (not to be confused with the R, of course). Therefore, the choice of DCC also affect which version I am going for, and as a result, becomes an important factor.
Any info from people who have used DCC in cars are greatly appreciated. Obviously, people with DCC in GTI and R cars, would usually have harsher ride than the "plain" Golf versions with DCC (18+ wheels and stiffer suspension), so please keep that in mind when commenting .
Thanks in advance
