Volkswagen Multivan's suspension problem
 

Any owner or driver of a VW Multivan here?

This van is available in Australia and come in Comfortline and Highline version.
A limited edition that was recently sold out looks like this here http://www.caradvice.com.au/6249/200...c-first-steer/ This edition has sports suspension as standard.

Does you car has a standard or a sport suspension?

Do you find the standard suspension a bit too soft?

I am considering getting this car but during test drive I found the suspension to be rather soft. There is a lot of vertical movement when going through our poor road surface here. It is much more then my older sedan and wagon. It was so bad that sometimes I was actually feeling a bit of motion sickness. I am not familiar with a Multivan at all prior to the test drive.
Would an optional sport suspension ($500 extra) alleviate this problem?

I emailed the rep and he asked someone and got back to me on the phone and said that the Sports suspension has a stronger or heavier spring and the car is lowered by 2 cm. There would be less vertical travel in the suspension. With a lower centre of gravity there would also be less roll. Also if coupled with the existing 17" wheels then it would be a good fit. With larger wheels the suspension might be too stiff.

I have to take the rep word with a grain of salt. They might say anything to get the sales.

Thanks.
