Thrilled with the CC

2013 Volkswagen CC Sport Plus PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)
22 of 24 people found this review helpful
The German built CC is an excellent blend of performance, style and value. The 2.0 turbo engine is very peppy and responsive. A friend who recently drove my relatively new CC Sport was sure it was a 6 cylinder from its pick up. I have gotten up to 34.5 mpg on a combined road and street drive, that with the required premium gas. Generally, in town mileage has been about 26 mpg. The interior is very elegant and at a price that is much more reasonable than the VW's German counterparts. While I have had it only a short time, I traded in my 7 year old Passat (the best car I have ever owned) to get this snazzy sedan. I am so far, thrilled each time I get into the CC.
My CC has 324k miles on it as of today

I bought the cc because I loved the distinctively elegant design language and it is arguably the best budget car you can buy. What do I mean by this? Let’s discuss! The good - not expensive to buy, particularly when you consider what you get - precise german handling, tight cornering capability, decent fuel economy (I’ve been putting 87 instead of apparently suggested 93), great sound system, Mercedes and Lexus level smoothness, high quality minimalist interior and cool bucket seats, with very few of these actually seen on the road, people will think you spent a lot more than you actually did lol. The bad - random rattling from the interior and from the front suspension sometimes, which on the flip side is mostly the same, which says a lot when you consider I don’t slow down for speed bumps much lol. I have gone through an offensive number of tires, double digits for sure, the low profile doesn’t go well with freeze thawed New England roads. The low roofline may cause taller folks or people with joint issues a problem when getting in. Make sure to top up your oil every 1k because it does burn oil, especially if you like you enjoy your drives. Maintenance is more affordable than, say, a BMW, but almost double still what you’d spend on Japanese and American cars. Make what you will of that. You might save money opting for a CC over other Germans. Summary - I wholeheartedly recommend this head turner if you want a very pretty car that is genuinely enjoyable to drive, but don’t want to commit the sums it would cost to drive a Mercedes or BMW, without necessarily forgoing on the driving experience and looks.

2013 Volkswagen CC Lux PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

I have a 2013 VW CC Lux. VW has a tough time marketing and developing consumer mind share with this model. People with a $35-$40K budget don't normally think of VW and the pre-owned market benefits from this. I picked up my CC, which was a lease return, for $22K (2 years old with 19K miles). The turbo 2.0 liter engine is strong, smooth and is the same base power plant found in a lot of higher-end Audis. Road manners are excellent and I average about 27 mpg combined. This gets me about 450 miles between fill ups which is great for someone who hates stopping for gas. The transmission has a sport mode and manual shift which is great for more aggressive driving situations and mountain roads. This car comes fully equipped with features that are expensive options on a BMW 3 series. Navigation, Bluetooth, adaptive headlights - which rotate you steer, cornering lights, auto-climate control, easy to use on board computer, leather wrapped steering wheel, power/heated front seats are just a few standard features. The Lux model's huge glass moonroof creates an openness in the cabin. The car is low slung so getting in and out requires more effort, and the back seat, while fine for 2 passengers is a tight fit for 3. Lack of a back up camera is also a drawback since rear visibility is not great due to shape of roof. All in all, a great car. Pick up a lease return and save a boatload of cash.

2013 Volkswagen CC VR6 Lux 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6AM)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful
Overall, I am very happy with the CC. It's one of the best looking cars on the road, at least compared to anything under $50K, it has a fantastic looking interior (especially mine, which has the red and black seats), and the VR6 offers strong performance. You do sacrifice a little utility, but the CC is a unique vehicle that stands apart from the sea of Accords, Camrys, etc. It's also one of the few VWs that is actually made in Germany. I'll have to see about long-term reliability though. I would say either buy the Sport or the VR6 Lux. The intermediate 2.0T models simply aren't big enough upgrades to justify the price, while the VR6 adds a lot of important features.
Great 4-cylinder Sedan! Comfy and Sporty!

2013 Volkswagen CC R-Line PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

The good: Owned the vehicle for 8 months and put 12k miles on it. Overall I am very satisfied with the car. Performs awesome for a 4-cylinder, has good pick-up, DSG Transmission is pretty cool and different. Car gave me 0 issues and only money that went out of pocket were for maintenance. The Bad: No idea why VW decided not to put a sunroof in that model, it would really be appreciated to have one. The DSG Transmission is overall nice but has its downs. When you put it in reverse and let go off the brakes, it would shift into gear and kind of give a slight shake to the car. Steering would be better if it was a little bit more stiffer. It feels a little loose to me. Overall I would recommend the car to anyone. Those engines and transmissions are nice, however you must do all the maintenance on time. Put proper oil in there, make sure you do transmission fluid flush every 30k miles, carbon cleaning every 30k miles. Those are minor things that will affect the life of engine and trans in long run. German cars are very sensitive and you can't just put cheap random oil in there and drive on it for 10k miles. A lot of people don't understand that, and end up having issues with their cars. Just make sure you maintain the car well and it won't give you much trouble!
