  • Perfection Achieved - 2012 Volkswagen CC
    By -

    My first Volkswagen ever; which now has 2,600 miles on it. I have owned a 1992 Corvette LT1 6 speed convertible, 2003 Acura TL, and 2010 Nissan Maxima, and this is by far the best of all. Its sleek, elegant yet sporty, solid aerodynamic body is truly a work of art. Interior is just as stylish and nicely crafted as exterior. The 4 cyl turbo coupled with DSG auto. trans. provides plenty of power / torque with real sports car shifting ability. This is truly a "4 door sports car". The handling and solid feel at any speed, blows away my prev. new 2010 Maxima. The ride is tight, firm, but soaks up bumps and very comfortable. Trunk is surprisingly deep & spacious. No negatives. Simply the best!!!

  • Very Happy With Our 2012 VW CC - 2012 Volkswagen CC
    By -

    We have been driving the CC for 5 months now and we love it! Cruises wonderfully and gives us just enough get up and go around the city to keep things interesting. Gas mileage is great, better than advertised. The 2.0 Turbo is a great engine that seems to perform better than the specs. The styling and quality, inside and out is classy lux for a price much less than similar lux vehicles. I definately like that we have yet to see another CC on the hwy. A truely beautiful car that performs admirably in its class.

  • Awesome value, stylish sport - 2012 Volkswagen CC
    By -

    As others have said here, both the interior and exterior are of luxury-line quality, and the 4-cylinder performance is a dream. Cornering ability is outstanding, and the ride is very smooth. A definite bonus, also, is that the CC model is a rare gem on the road (almost makes me want to give the CC a bad review so it stays that way). Professional reviews are a little misleading - they widely pan the 6-cylinder model and complain that theres little room in the back. Just get the 4-cylinder and dont shop for coupes when you really need a minivan (duh?).

  • Sure dont miss my Jetta!!! - 2012 Volkswagen CC
    By -

    Fantastic car!!! I have owned a Jetta TDI (great car) and a Passat (very good car). But in no way do I miss either one of them! The VW CC is so much better than the Jetta or Passat that I barely remember owning them (even though they were solid vehicles). The ride in the CC is super quiet and incredibly smooth. The car is a little low to the ground but that is what makes it look so sleek and gorgeous (neither the Jetta nor the Passat look gorgeous). The VW CC is easily the best car on the road for under 30K!

  • Great looking car - 2012 Volkswagen CC
    By -

    I am a tall man (66") and have no problems with entering or exiting the car. There is plenty of leg room for a tall person like myself in the front seats but there is no leg room in the back seats with the front seats all the way back. That is no concern for me as I dont ever expect to have passengers in the rear seats. I took my first long trip of 90 miles the other day and was quite pleased with the ride comfort. Acceleration is very impressive both on the highway and on city streets. Putting the transmission in sport mode really adds some aggressiveness to the driving experience. The interior of the car almost screams luxury with its high-quality materials and quality construction and the exterior profile of the car allows it to feel right at home being parked next to vehicles that are priced several if not tens of thousands of dollars more. UPDATE: Its been a year since I bought my CC and I am still as impressed with it as the day I bought it. I did an unexpected 1800 mile round trip with 3 adult males and the person in the back seat was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the ride back there. I averaged 28.5 mpg on that trip while cruising between 80 and 85 mph.

  • Worst car to buy...ever! - 2012 Volkswagen CC
    By -

    I have had this car less than 2 years. I have a 2010 CC 2.0 L Turbo and it has been awful. First, the whole control module went out in the car, which was not covered on ANY part of my warranty- that was $700. Next, the engine blew. Mind you, these engines are awful and I am a responsible adult who does not "rag out" my car. Luckily, that was covered under my warranty. My car has 96k miles on it, and has had nothing but problems. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR.

  • Sexy, Sporty, Upscale & Affordable, A Home Run! - 2012 Volkswagen CC
    By -

    Owned a 2009 Jetta & a 2000 Passat. Loved the Passat liked the Jetta. This 2012 CC is in a league of its own. The special lease program with the sign & drive $0 across the board sucked me in. Then there were additional incentives. I took it home for test drive, impressed with the turbo 4 banger, smooth. responsive, quiet. The interior is real sweet...two tone bucket seats, analog clock, heated seats,6 cd changer,+ more. Elegant and impressive. This is the entry model! VW has a hit...why no visual advertising? Its certainly a lot for the money & not a niche car.

    Drives like a good cart on steroids.

  • my dealer called me - 2012 Volkswagen CC
    By -

    and told me that he could put me in a 2012 CC Lux for 50 dollars less than I was paying on my 2008 Passat Lux. Both cars are wonderful but the touchscreen stereo not only sounds better with better bass but it has a port for a sd card. the sd card I use is 32gb thats holds over 2200 songs 800 cds. needless to say I no longer have need for SiriusXm or cds. It also has Hd radio and bluetooth for hands free use of your phone. plus it has 3 year free maintenance.
