Had a 190 on a 65 plate a few years back.

Looking at another Superb. How important is DCC to you?

Ive never had DCC, on my second superb and Quite happy with it without. A nice to have from my perspective but I dont know any different! Costs wise its much cheaper to replace struts for standard suspension if anything fails.

DCC is amazing if u ask me.

It controls both compression and rebound of the shocks, electronically.

Multiple levels of shock control - Comfort, Normal & Sport.

With the DCC Slider Mod, this increases to 15 levels of shock control.

In addition, DCC is also linked to Steering, Braking and Headlights.

Mine is still behaving after almost 10 yrs now, despite being lowered for 7+ yrs.

I would not have specified DCC, but it came on the dealer's demonstrator that I ended up buying. I find it quite useful and versatile.

I like it - it gives the car a completely different feel. They didn't the settings quite right being far too soft naturally, which the DCC Slider Mod resolves, but it really adds to the character of the different profiles. Comfort really soaks up rough road, while Sport makes it much firmer and it responds really well.

But if a great car came up and it didn't have it, it wouldn't be a gamechanger. Its nice to have variety but we ultimately tend to hone to what we like and leave it at that.

Try with and without and see what you think.

Definitely much cheaper without it!

I have it fitted in my 280 but I never change anything, I just use the default setting……normal?

Nice to have would be my thoughts on this.

My 2016 L&K 280 had DCC as standard & I use it quite a bit. I normally run the DCC in Sport mode (fairly stiff setting) but with the DSG in normal D mode. If I hit some bad road surfaces then I change DCC to Normal or possibly Comfort mode for a more compliant ride. I also do this when I have passengers in the car that might not appreciate the stiffer setting. Comfort mode does make it feel very "wallowy" though so I can't run it that mode for too long without feeling a bit sea sick!!

As others have said the only downside will be the cost to replace the DCC shocks vs stock dampers. There are some after market DCC damper options now so you are not suck with OEM only. Touch wood, after 10 years my DCC still works fine.
