RE: Adaptive Dynamics

And if you had to chose between Adaptive Dynamics and Front Parkingsensors + Rear View Camera? All of those are options in Belgium which is where I buy the car. The Front Parking Sensors and the Camera have to be taken together (unless you only want the sensors).

I would say it is better to spend money on AD since it is working 100% of the time than on Sensors + Camera which are used only occasionally.. What's your idea about this?

Ask for a testdrive Kimv. Then you will be able to tell if you need the camera. The car is not that big, so it shouldn't be too hard to park. I took the camera just to make sure there are no children behind the car while reversing.
Too bad there are no adaptive dynamics on the TD4 Sad

RE: Adaptive Dynamics

I'd say those are both important options; is there any way you can adjust your finances to get both?

If I HAD to choose, I think I'd go for the AD, assuming the car has rear parking sensors already.

Adaptive Dynamics

I have both and I would say the parking camera and sensors. I use them all the time.
I have not driven a non AD car. But from what I has been said on this forum. Is they are totally up for the job and it's maybe something I could have lived without on my extra list.

RE: Adaptive Dynamics

I had a pure which didn't have either, and my choice would be the rear camera. The car drives fantastically without AD, but the restrictive rear view was a worry, ESP. When reversing with kids about

And that's exactly what I did Smile. I added both to my order! Imagine that before reading this thread I never even thought about AD...

RE: Adaptive Dynamics

Hello,
I'm really not happy about not being able to get the AD in the configuration for a Belgian TD4.
I have spoken with the dealer today and he say : "this option is only for more power horse, no need for 150cv". Rolling Eyes
Yes of course, a citroen cx or citroen ds from 1980 have more than 190cv for have a special suspension Exclamation

Really not happy for this apology by the dealer. Evil

RE: Adaptive Dynamics

Why all of you pursue for AD?
I have not noticed much difference in the ad are not choosing dynamic mode. A similar damping as well as on a conventional suspension.
I agree in the dynamic mode the machine harder.
Or my suspension is not accustomed / trained? 1500 km

Because apparently it's awesomeness.

RE: Adaptive Dynamics

What I really want to know is - do the adaptive dynamics in 'standard' mode offer an improvement in ride isolation and refinement in comparison to the regular spring dampers?

A lot has been said about the improvement in handling and reduced body roll in corners, quicker recovery from bumps etc. so it seems this is a given. But does it improve the overall sense of a luxury ride?

I know it's probably a long way off the air suspension given in FFRR but do the AD shocks bring it closer to this than the standard shocks?

In short, does it absorb the potholes/bumps better than non AD?
