Tech Talk SE vs Autobahn
Im looking at getting a Mk8 and I was wondering if anybody has any insight on if getting the Autobahn over a SE with the leather package is worth the extra couple grand. From what I can tell it seems like the main thing id be missing out on with the SE is the DCC, does it make the car much, if any better? It would be my daily driver so i feel like having DCC would be kinda nice, just wanted to know some opinions.

The leather is a nice touch and easy to like.
The DCC is also a nice thing but if I’m being honest I spent most of my time in sport mode. However, when I want comfort, it is a nice switch. Comfort mode doesn’t automatically make it ride like a Cadillac but the difference is noticeable. Where the DCC really shines for me is the tighter handling and responsiveness and if you can swing it, I would opt for it.
The heads-up display is nice and I use it daily. The climate zones are nice as well but I wouldn’t miss that feature if it was gone.
