Ride Quality

I have a 230TSI and we find the ride quality fine. No complaints from wife and the kids fall asleep no problem.

I have DCC and find the Normal setting OK - have experimented with comfort deliberately aiming for bumps / rough patches for comparison and don't find it makes much difference and makes the car / steering more floaty / wallowy which was a bit disconcerting so pretty quickly changed back to Normal. Have experimented with Sport suspension but did not make that much difference for me - does not instantly turn a SUV into a sports car - I have not taken the Tig out for a proper B-road blat though.

You can feel the bumps more than on our lower cars - they do need to set the spring rates to control SUV body roll. What are your priorities? Comfort or a sporty SUV? If you have a really rough road running right outside your house for miles it could grate. For me I think they have judged the balance right.
