Re: Some tips for choosing additional equipment

I don't think the stock suspension on the born is overly harsh either, like monkeyhanger I do come from several more firmly sprung models.
Last being a Cupra Ateca that did have DCC and even on the comfort setting was a bit too firm for the rough roads I travel often.
As it happens, that car came with Bridgestones, bloody awful tyres, I swapped them out after 300 miles.
I test drove both a V2 and a V3 Born (So 20" and 19" wheels) and didn't think the 20" felt that much worse, and I did deliberately take roads with poor surfaces.
That said, part of the reason I chose a V2 was due to the 19" over the 20's but that was only a small part.
Lets not forget, although it has 19's its still a 50 profile tyre, so noticably more forgiving than 45 and 40's
Dcc I have had before on 3 cars (part of the spec I had not an option added), TBH I always set it on comfort and forget about it. I wouldn't pay for it specifically unless the cars stock suspension was really poor.
