Used 2010 Volkswagen CC Consumer Reviews
Happy new CC owner!
I've had my new black CC Sport/R-Line for about 2 weeks & JUST LOVE IT! I researched MANY cars to fit my needs as I travel by car extensively in my job. I drove all the high-end options including BMW, Mercedes, Infiniti & Lexus. I chose the CC because it looks great & gave me all the options I wanted with out the big price tag. The great mileage this car gets was the icing on the cake. I got 30.4 MPG on my first road trip & thoroughly enjoyed the ride! Now I actually look forward to going "on the road again"!
Bang for the buck
Have been waiting to put some miles(4K) before writing this review. Traded in 2k BMW 323 for a newer car with maintenance program and warranty. Considered Mazdaspeed 3, Subaru Legacy and WRX, Audi A3, as well as GTI and Golf TDI, but the lease, maintenance, and family size closed the deal. The car drives nicely with good performance from the turbo 4, however there is some turbo lag most noticeable on steep hills. Handling is very good but it is not a BMW. The steering feel is a bit light, not like the bimmer. So far no major maintenance issues. I have driven from SD to Paso Robles and averaged 32+ MPG @ 78MPH on stage 1 APR tune. Has all the basics I need for a good highway cruiser.

Comfortable, Sporty, Safe and Classy
Make sure there are no oil leaks and that the transmission oil was changed at 40k or you will feel the transmission noisy and loose. Check for any cupping of the tires, because this model is known to cup the tires, as mine did, regardless of alignment. Otherwise, enjoy the ride, comfortable, sporty, safe and classy.

2 Month Follow Up
I've had the CC for a couple of months now. The DSG transmission is great on country roads or highways with it's quick up & down shifts. However - I would call it anything but smooth in the city. Jerky stops & starts, sometimes won't shift into 1st at a stop sign. This makes it lethargic once you get back on the gas and the car's in 2nd gear. Quick stops are sometimes scary. The transmission will give you a bit of engine braking, but then shift into a lower gear making it hard to judge how much force you should have on the brake pedal. It's a bit of a nuisance, but you learn to live with it.
Best buy you'll ever make
I used to own a Jetta and wanted to test drive as many cars before I made the purchase. I test drove everything from a Camaro 2SS, 370Z to BMW 1- and 3- series. My budget was $40k approx. The top contenders were BMW 335, MB C300 and the CC. I think the BMW is on the sporty end and MB on the luxury end and the CC is smack in the middle. Have had it for three months and love everything about it...still looking for excuses to drive. The short throw clutch is taking a while to get used to but the transmission is super smooth. The styling is top notch and I often find myself checking my own car out in the parking lot. Love how the back end looks at night with the "floating" tail lights.
