Dynamic lighting is great if you do any amount of driving on country roads at night. Main beam all the time is fantastic.

Gti owners can i ask if the Dynamic chassis Control (DCC) is a worth while option or a must? TIA.
I have almost never used mine. Maybe it's useful for the heel-and-toe brigade, who genuinely believe that saving a tenth here and there is not negated by a lorry or a traffic light three minutes later. For 99.9% of people, 99.9% of the time, it doesn't add anything.

Mind you, by that logic, anything with over 150bhp, or anything that can go round the Nùrbürgring in under twenty minutes is pointless on the road too, so what do I know?
DCC adds a lot. It gives you the option of setting the suspension hard or soft. I run mine in soft most of the time but is dynamic so will stiffen as and when necessary to reduce body roll dynamically. It's one of those things that you shouldn't be able to tell when it's doing anything but you would if it stopped.

Like I said, I didn't test a car without it, so have no frame of reference. It turns out I have mine in Sport all the time. I'm going to arse about with the settings over the next few days and see what happens.
