I put this comment up in another, general, thread last week but reckon it will be better discussed as its own topic here;-

"Driving experience very much the same, although I can't help feeling that the shock absorber settings in the DCC have been tweaked over the years in respect to the balance between Comfort / Sport / Cupra.

Cupra in my 1st (70 plate / MY21) was unusable on the road.

My 2nd (23 plate) seemed a shade softer and very much so on Cupra.

My 'new' (74 plate MY25) seems softer again, except Cupra is back to being firmer.

I wonder if the programming and/or main spring rates have changed. :-k. :-k "


I tend to run in Comfort around town and up to c. 40mph to soften potholes and broken road surfaces, switching to Sport at higher speeds and on the Motorway as this gives better body control and reduces a 'ship at sea / floating' tendency if left in Comfort.

Cupra? Only really use it when solo and out for a bit of fun; it's too stiff otherwise.

Overall though; I wonder if the programming and/or main spring rates have changed? Also, is there any merit in getting the DCC 'reset' as I have learnt can be done?
