Hey all,

Prob a stupid question - ive had a look but cant see it covered so appreciate any help. (ill ask here rather than the CC lounge as its got more traffic)

How does the suspension setup of a 2012 CC V6 compare to that of a similarly equipped 2012 B7 Sedan V6 w/Sports pack.
Given they both are running DCC (and the B7 Sports pack wouldn't drop it any further) is it fair to assume the suspension setup/ground clearance/handling would be identical?
Check (if you live in usa): WeeklyAd2 (https://www.weeklyads2.com/), or Aldi Catalogue (https://www.catalogueau.com/aldi/).

Is the equivalent specced CC setup softer than the B7 sedan because its marketed as a more luxurious coupe?


Also - looking at the performance figures - despite some 20+kg less weight than the Sedan the CC has a slower 0-100 time as a V6 (5.5 v 5.6), but strangely a faster time as a TDI over the sedan. Is this correct or just dodgy numbers from the manufacturer?

I guess in short i'm asking is there anything im overlooking in picking up a CC V6 over a B7 sedan V6 (aside from rear headroom)

Cheers & thanks,
Owen
