@STLboy18 just stick with an r line manual transmission or a basic one with the manual transmission. that is the cc that lives up to the hype, it'll drive differently from your gli due to the longer wheelbase. the basic model is like 600 pounds lighter than the loaded vr6 4motion. 09's did not come with badges, anything later really needs a badge delete.
I have a Volkswagen Jetta Gli DSG 2.0 T am thinking about getting the CC for my future car if theres anyone that has this car and have some comments on this car that i should know before i buy it i would be thank full.
@STLboy18 throttle lag on the tiptronic 2.0T's is just awful. the '11's and up get the DSG. I'm going to recommend the basic CC and a manual transmission. The DSG is really hit or miss as far as reliability goes, shifts fast no doubt, but VW dumbed it down for the states and slowed down the shifts to make it more slushbox like, and I wouldn't take the risk of getting a bad one. Give it an APR tune and an upgraded clutch and you'll wonder why anyone buys anything else.
Volkswagen will never get to their goal of competing with Honda's sales numbers by trying to pull crap like charging 4 figures for bluetooth in an already overpriced car. On top of that, I agree about the engine, the V6 that I drove sounded and felt like a much cheaper car.
What I don't like is that instead of talking about the body style or the engine, he goes into the tech and the toys. Shows what he really appreciates: iPods on wheels, not cars. This is a proper car.
I´m from Spain, and guys this car in that especification costs around $73000, and it deserves that price. It is just awesome! And that jerk who thinks that this car can only impress him for around $20000 is drunk or imbecil!
This guy is a flaming tool. You know in Waynes world 2 when the Noah's Arcade owner is being interviewed by Wayne? And Wayne has all those funny and rude index cards. I wish I had some for this asshole who knows nothing about Volkswagens.
That guy knows as much about cars,as i do about flying a Concorde: Plain nothing... So my advice to that guy: Get another job and stop talkin' crap about things, you don't understand
this guy is biased. I have a cc 2.0t and it is super impressive. i havent met one person who thinks its not nice. i can only imagine how the vr6t feels.
I don't like that guy, the engine isn't good enough? It'll probably last for 350,000 miles. He probably put 87 octane in it too..... I like cars that have so many features that you don't find most of them till months after you bought them, it's like receiving a present every time you find it. :0 lol My sis ter owns an 04 passat and it is an AWESOME car. Bought it for only 7800 too.
This guy has no clue what he's talking about in the motor department. That VR6 has a great growl, and the same Motor in a Touareg tows 7,700 lbs. It pulls strong to 100 MPH and beyond. I've driven a CC VR6 4Motion on a track, and that engine is amazing. Stick to reviewing Navi systems dick.
This review is about the cabin technology - radios, stereos and navigation - in the car, not of the car itself. He knows a lot about cars and owns old Fords and Fiats. I think it's a handsome car.
i like the front and the side, but i hate the back, it reminds me of a bee. My friend has this car, it was about 30K for him, it has smooth acceleration but i hate the 4 seats instead of 5, which means if theres a fifth person, you have to take a second car. For my freinds age, which is about 18 or 19, i dont think he should have gotten this car. Id get for the GLI or GTI instead, this car seems like a car for older people.
Yeah, I saw the commercial last night for this car. Always like VW so thought Id check it out. At $40k, someone else can have it! Wife wanted a Routan until the price tag entered the room. I think VW has quality but is WAY overpriced.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
american cars look better in the eye like lincoln and cadillac, but lack in quality. VW are known here to be ugly, but reliable. i was shock when i saw this car and that it was a Mercedes. good job! cheaper too!
I thought my Corrado looks like trash, but i'm not sure.
Anyway.....the base price of the 2.0t cc is only 27,000 and it jumps to 38,000 with the vr6 and all the sport features. So it really isn't close to a "Beamer" or "Benz"
if you go that route MCLady.
PS: I don't know why this guy wastes all the time getting picky about the nav......its the drive that counts.
I just bought this car and will post some videos later, i also went with VR6 since i wanted to have 4 wheel drive. In any respect this the best car i ever had. The boot is just a hitmans dream you could easily put like 3 bodys there! This car for people who like to get a taste of German luxury... my only concern is the reliability since i had many issues with my passat in past
All cnet does is talk about the navi/touch screen/aux inputs and shit.... fuck this review!

I do. And there's also USB and other cables, so why critize, that there is another option too!?
And what he says about the engine.. WTF!?!? "I'm about $20000 impressed"
The CC has an awesome engine, which sounds good and performs really good. He doesn't have a clue about cars..
