I use a passat cc 2.0TSI 6DSG as daily drive. In terms of driving pleasure, I love every part of it to the extent I keep pressing with my right foot brows.gif

In terms of comfort, you can practically feel everything the road....I changed my front absorber for RM3k but the ride only improved a little. You may wonder why the absorbers so expensive? Its because the passat cc comes with DCC(Dynamic Control Chassis <---not sure if this is the right word), hence the high price.

In terms of regular maintenance, it will cost about RM600 to RM800 for normal service and if major service, it will cost about RM1.2k to 1.6k.

If you are willing to sacrifice abit of fun driving, go for the 1.8TSI with warranty. But make sure you got extra car in case you get a lemon unit. However, if you want more fun, go for the 2.0TSI and do your service outside as VW SC can make you puke blood.

DCC is Dynamic Chassis Control. But if we are not using a suspension that supports DCC then it's just function like a normal suspension and DCC is disabled (we can't press the button beside the GB). Anyway,3K for the suspension - which brand? I only know Bilstien B6 costs around that. The original Monroe suspension costs around ~8k quoted from the SC.

I got the stock absorbers bro. Got it at Quattro Autohaus who claimed to order from Singapore same as SC

I see. Yes Quattro Autohaus parts are the same as the SC... I thought you installed Bilstien which costs cheaper than the stock but better perfomance.

cool, any idea where I can get Bilstien? Does it support DCC too? I am planning to change my rear absorbers soon too

Clovertech Garage in Sunway - was quoted 3k++. No DCC functionality. If you have changed your front with a new pair, I suggest you to use the same brand as the front because changing to other brands will require you to change all of the absorbers.

I know of a brand which supports DCC which is kW v3 costs around 8-10k.

Ahhh, alright. Thanks for your info, I will just stick to stock absorbers then

Cant remember the list well. I was told it will include b&o sound system, updated sat nav, comfort key, sports velvet seats & 19 inch wheels. Looks like an upgrade compared to the baseline sitting at thd car park

Pening alrdy now. but the feeling & sporty-ness of the A4 seems lesser than the cc. Perhaps the sitting position n roofline of cc is more sporty

May I know what is the price they currently offering you?
