2011 Volkswagen CC Lux Plus PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)
Ive owned VWs for 20 years. 86 Jetta, 92 Jetta, 98 Jetta, 2002 Passat and recently a 2011 CC 2.0T. Of all the cars I have owned, I have loved my CC. But youre here for advice. Growing up a VW gear head, I like to think I know a lot about these cars.
I bought my 2011 CC in 2014 with about 40k on it. I ran that car HARD up to 180k. I never changed the antifreeze or flushed the … transmission fluid but I put in synthetic oil and premium gas and always brought to VW dealership (I'm still not fully sold that dealerships are worth the premium).... this car has been amazing. So long as you plan and take care of it reasonably.
Tires- Pay up for the tires, I promise its worth it. Stay OEM for these, they will save you $$$ and the car handles perfectly.
Coil Packs- These will fail at 90-100k, REPLACE them all when 1 fails and then plan to do them again about 150k....
I never had problems with suspension (and living in New England I hit craters in the road!).
The turbo was bullet proof and I loved it every single day. Cant kill it.
One thing I will advise is the rear main seal can become an issue. Mine went at about 130k. I planned for this and put away the 2k for when it needed replacement.
Overall, this is a great car. Its fast, fun, and as long as you do the normal maintenance youll enjoy it. Plan on about $1100/ year in maint costs, literally just set it aside in a separate account, so when it needs work, youre good to go. Enjoy!!!! BTW I'm buying a newer CC as I write this because I like them that much.

2011 Volkswagen CC Lux Plus PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)
Wanting more for less is my new criteria in any purchase. My wife and I have driven BMW's for years. Coming from a 3 Series to the 2011 VW CC Luxury Plus is a comfort upgrade and we saved thousands of dollars. Standard NAV, rear camera, SAT radio, 30GB hard drive to store music are all items that would have made many cars very expensive. They are standard on the VW CC Lux Plus. If … you want honest German engineering and quality in a car packed with features this is it.
