Nice car with bad reliability issues

I owned my 2010 CC for over 5 years now, with a little over 69,000 miles. Here is my honest assessment: Positive: Design - The car looks great both inside and outside. Performance - Engine power is more than enough for a casual driver, acceleration is great, even for a 4-cylinder engine. Negative: Gas mileage - I am averaging around 22 MPG combined city/hi way driving-that's terrible for a 4-cylinder car! The only time I can get around 25 MPG is when I drive long distance on the freeway. Reliability - My transmission needed a major repair at around 36,000 miles (would not go to reverse), lucky for me, it was still under warranty. Carbon build-up is also a major concern. At around 57,000 miles, I got a 'check engine' light and then the car stalled. Had it towed to a dealer and the prognosis was excessive carbon build up in the intakes and failed fuel pump. It cost me over $3,700 to get it fixed. What bothers me is the carbon build up. After doing some research, I found out that, although carbon build up is an issue with all direct injection engine, VW's 2.0 TSI engines appears to be the most affected by it. Talking to a couple of technician at the dealer confirmed that carbon build up is an issue and the only way to completely get rid of it is to have it mechanically cleaned approximately every 60,000 miles. The way it is going now, I don't think I will be buying another Volkswagen again.

I chose a 2010 CC over a 2009 Lexus IS250!

I bought a 2010 CC sport turbo last week with 17,939 miles and I absolutely LOVE it! I keep coming up with reasons to leave the house just to drive it. I compared it to a 2009 Lexus IS250 that I test-drove and the CC hands down won. Great price for a slightly larger sedan with luxurious qualities and better gas mileage than the Lexus! I test drove the CC for an entire day and honestly lost count how many heads it turned!!

Cheap Light Bulbs

I'm also having issues with the tail lights, like someone else who has talked about it in his/her review. My car is now 6 months old, has 6000 miles on it, and I've had to get three tail light bulbs replaced. They keep going out one by one. It's a waste of time having to go to a dealership frequently to get them replaced. I still love the way this car looks, but I'm disappointed with its quality and performance. Road noise, wind noise, bumpy ride on potholes is all too annoying.
Still Love Driving my CC!

Purchased my CC a couple of years ago, used, with 30k miles on it and now have 61k on it. What a treat, every day. I have never enjoyed driving a car as much as I do my CC. I've had no breakdowns (knock on wood) and have only had to complete maintenance stuff -- which aren't cheap but I believe are part of the answer to keeping a great car up and going strong. I always recommend the CC to anyone else who asks about it. Keep up the great work, VW! Update 12.20.17 I am still loving driving my sweet CC. It has nearly 100,000 in it. Two drawbacks that I have encountered: First, because of how VW sets the camber if the wheels, I do eat through tires. But, the way it hugs the road is part of the joy and I understand that’s connected to the camber. Secondly, last year I had to pay for the mechatronics to be replaced on the transmission, which helped with an issue regarding to the car occasionally, temporarily, not engaging in Reverse until turning off the car and turning it back on again (which always fixed it). The up-side was that, after lots of back and forth with VW, they charged me 1/3 of the cost for the repair. A year later, and I am having similar issues again, though. Hoping to goodness that my tranny is ok and it’s something less big to repair/replace — like an electrical issue or the shifter itself. Stay tuned. 12/20/2018 Update 111,000 miles STILL love my sweet CC! Still consider it the beat and most enjoyable car I’ve owned. The issue with it every so often not going into reverse does occasionally still happen, but rarely. And it’s easy to deal with. No other issues. And still enjoy having the Bob Penkhus VW dealorship do all maintenance. They always treat me right and are very helpful. On long trips or just around town, it’s such a sweet ride and powerful. I’m quite hooked on the German engineering with the accompanying power and tight feel on the road. Great gas mileage too. I still get better than 35 mpg on the highway and 29 mpg all around. When I do decide to replace my CC, I hope to find a similar experience in another VW. I wonder if it will be possible. Hoping I can stay with VW and not be forced to spend a ton on an Audi.

After 3 years and 30,000 miles, still love my 2010 VW CC white/tan , i prefer driving this than my 2008 Mercedes Benz E Class, I get as high as 35 MPG highway with A/C, interior is awesome, feels more expensive, very comfortable seats better than my Lexus and Benz, cornering is excellent, a little bumpy for my taste but thats to be expected for a car this low, acceleration is amazingly fast for a 4 cylinder car. love the "THUNK" when opening and closing the frameless doors!!! Only VW has that. overall, another VERY HAPPY VW CC owner, thinking of buying 2013 :)
