  DSG = Terrible Transmission - 2011 Volkswagen CC
  By cnote3 - December 19 - 5:23 am

  The DSG transmission does this car a complete injustice. There is a significant hesitation from a stop, and the shifts are jerky and unpleasant. VW couples this half-engineered transmission with an engine that has significant turbo lag - turning every city trip into a manic journey along the torque curve. Everything settles down once you get the car up to speed, making the CC an enjoyable highway car. The exterior and interior styling is fantastic, but the transmission will be a disappointment to anyone who has ever driven a well built, thoughtfully engineered car or truck from a reputable manufacturer.

  Dont waste your time nor money - 2011 Volkswagen CC
  By dp1072 - June 5 - 3:35 pm

  Where do I begin? Lets start with; Ive never had a new vehicle with so many problems. The power steering pump needed to be replaced after the first year. The water pump was just replaced due to leakage. The transmission, as everyone else said, is comparable to my dads 1990 VW Golf (non-turbo) diesel when it comes to performance. Slap it in the manual shift mode and its much better. The speedometer is 5 miles per hour off (shows youre going faster). This means your mileage adds up a bit faster if you do the math. Faulty tail lights. Cant wait to get rid of it.

  Fun - but Expensive to maintain - 2011 Volkswagen CC
  By Eric Hemmendinger - November 20 - 8:20 pm

  Had the car for 4 years, and have about 80K miles on it. Its a pleasure to drive - when everything is working correctly - and thats the issue. Ive had to replace the steering column lock, have the heads cleaned, and several other lesser items - but these are things that should not crop up until the car has well over 100K miles. So.. Its expensive to maintain. Ive also learned that its fragile. I put it into a snow bank at the bottom of the driveway - going about 8 miles/hour. the damages are in excess of $4K. To me that means its fragile. Ive enjoyed driving it, but am about to replace it in order to obtain a more cost-effective vehicle.
