Form over function

Great lines; solid feel, comfortable ergonomics; good pickup. The disappointment was that it was tough to transport bikes. Thule doesn't make a trunk rack for the CC. VW recommonds a roof rack, which I didn't want and which would have run $750. I finally had to get a hitch installed and found a Saris, 26-pound, 3-bike rack that keeps the bikes from touching. Total cost for hitch and rack was about $550 - a lot when I thought I could have just gotten a trunk rack for $150ish.

Best luxurious car for its price

Best luxury car/sporty car for its money. As soon as I saw it i fell in love with it exterior styling and then once i hopped in it i knew I had to have it. The interior must be top in its class. It has the interior of a $80,000 car. The beige and black two tone seats are the nicest I seen. I always get compliments on it everywhere I go. When I saw I knew I had to get it but It still had to pass the performance test for me. I got the 4 cylinder turbo charged version. The pick up on it is amazing, you can feel the turbo as soon as you step down on the gas. I do however wish you could hear the turbo more. It is also so quiet when the windows are up and super smooth. Overall I love this car and still feel excited everyday to drive it.

great looking car

i have only had this car a week and i love it! the lines are beautiful, the sound system is great - i am still working through the blue tooth, which i am disappointed with - it should be easier - i have an i phone and it still does not work and the garage door opener is having problems- but the car is a blast to drive and i will need to check back in a year on the maintenance issues.

Dissapointed in VW quality and reliability

Purchased 09 VW CC in Apr 2009. Loved the Car at first and received numerous compliments. Shared the great qualities of the car with everyone that asked. Should have forseen when I could not take my new car home the firts day due to a recall with the seat wiring harness and a warning light for the fuel system that these were signs of things to come. 1 week after bringing home window seal leaked after going through car wash; fixed immediately. Within a month trunk would not close again repaired under warranty. Drive many highway miles so warrantly expired within 1 year of purchase. At about 50,000 miles noticed dashboard around ignition and glove box had bubbled and was peeling. Of course not under warranty so repair was going to be expensive as whole dashboard would be replaced. Following year (year 2 of ownership) trunk would not open, had to repair at cost of $250.00 as wire harness had broke. No indiciation of rodent chewing through or external cause. Aug 2011 recall due to steering wheel control module safety recall. Sept 2011 steering wheel warning light sounded and steering wheel locked up. Thought related to recall had towed to dealership at cost of $80.00. Diagnosed had nothing to do with recall, but steering rack needed to be replaced. Estimated cost to fix from VW dealership - $1600.00. Extremely disappointed in the quality and reliability in the VW craftmanship. Always under the impression that German engineeering was of high quality. Apparently I was mistaken. Should have stayed with my prior vehicle brand as I have 1 car with over 297,000 miles on it and only the starter has been changed. Liked the look of the VW CC was the main reason for switching. Learned the hard way to stick with what works. Had a colleague about to purchase a CC fortunately for them my issue happened prior to purchase so I was able to let them know.

Everything I Hoped and More

The 2009 CC Luxury was not my first choice. I thought that it was "old" and the newer years probably were better do to the kinks and bugs being worked out. However, there are NO kinks and bugs! Since the 2009 was the premier year, the car is loaded with all the extras that the newer models do not automatically include. No issues whatsoever to report. This is our fourth VW (1996 Passat, 2003 Passat and 2006 Passat). The CC is powerful, reliable, and so much fun to drive!

Liked it so much that I bought a 2nd

I leased a new 2009 for two years and now have moved to a new 2012 for 39 months. The performance and styling is worth every penny. Dealership always took care of me when I came for the free service which helped make it a pleasure to drive.

love the VR6 power

I bought a 2009 VR Sport in October ?09 and have put 21K miles on it. I think the VR?s sit on the lot a long time because their list price is up there with some well-equipped Bimmers. Got mine for under $30K so only about $2500 more than stripped 2010 four cylinder. The 6cyl makes all the difference in the world with smooth, strong acceleration and I?ve gotten many complements on the design. They?ve been out two years now, but many people still haven?t seen one before, so it?s no cookie-cutter. Features that I really like are heated seats(can?t live without them, even in Houston), customization of which doors unlock when the key is removed, aiming headlights when turning, auto parking brake when you?re stuck in traffic and especially the proximity sensors which help when backing up and parking in my cluttered garage. When I test drove it, I was concerned with visibility because of the low roofline, but have become used to it and don?t consider it a problem. I?m 6?2? and over 60 years old and have no problem getting in and out. I get about 22 mph around town and up to 28 on the hwy at about 70-80mph. I previously had an ?02 Passat 6cyl which developed a number of problems including faulty, untraceable sensors that I believe was caused by running mid-grade gas. I?m sticking with Premium on this one.

Great styling

I have owned the car for 3 months. So far it has been great. The owners manual is 3" deep hard to get all the electronic systems set properly. Fun car, good mileage and great styling.

Unfortunately a lemon

I bought the cc 9 months ago - this is the list of problems: * The trunk didn't open properly * The gear shift broke, the car had to be towed. * The knob on top of the gear sticks is blocked - you can't get out the key fob. Two days after service - same problem again. The car is beautiful - but I expected it to drive too.
