    However, if you apply your hoof gently to the accelerator just sufficiently to overcome the slight resistance you will see the ACC symbol greys out indicating it has been overidden. Lift off and the ACC symbol regains brightness indicating ACC has taken back control. By applying more force to the accelerator to overcome increased resistance you can get as much acceleration as you want at the cost of temporary loss of the ACC safety net (but AEB is still functional, I think). As soon as you lift off ACC takes back control. If you brake instead of lifting off you will have to resume ACC.
    Okay, need to experiment, I am sure I will adapt.

    Yeah it's a major flaw of the VW system. For example in my old Volvo I could switch between ACC and regular cruise control. This is really handy when for example in extreme snow storms the ACC stops working due to bad visibility but the regular cruise control still works.

    for overtaking I just accelerate and it overrides the ACC system when you take your foot off the accelerator it just goes back to the same speed and distance as before

    I collected my SEB on Wednesday and I'm fairly disappointed with ACC, the shortest gap is way too large and you find people move into the gap slowing you down. I DO NOT want to tailgate other drivers but I want to ensure I maintain a decent flow. Maybe too soon for me to judge but initial impressions are not the best as yet. Otherwise really like the car.

    The ACC is good but not as good as a human because it doesn't see the car two or three ahead slowing down and so it doesn't anticipate. It only reacts to the car in front, which makes it jerky and a little worrying. I wonder what would happen on a slippery road?

    The ACC will always react quicker than any of us ever will
