  • Mercedes looks for VW price

    I really like the way my CC handles the curves up in the mountains. The turbo four has all the power I need and the gas mileage in town is surprisingly good. The looks are what sold me in the first place. I catch myself looking over my shoulder to get a glance as I walk away.

  • I love this car. Economic in gas and powerfully

    Really cheap in gas but really powerfully with the turbocharged engine. A really good morning election. Sport car but at the same time elegantly. I love it

  • This is the nicest car I have ever owned!

    I have owned Chevrolets, Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Buicks, Cadillacs, GMCs, Fords, Lincolns, Plymouths, and Infinitis. The Volkswagen CC I currently own is, by far, the nicest car I have ever owned. I love the performance, the convenience, the economy, the efficiency, and the styling of the CC! People stop me, from time to time, and ask me about the car; they’re attracted to it’s looks and styling.

  • I just love this car!

    I love the design of my CC, very roomy inside & it has all the luxuries I need! I'm short & I love the fact that I can raise my seat & adjust it to my size! I have owned mostly Toyota's for the last 20 years & I have to say that this car is my favorite!

  • Most reliable and stylish car i?ve owned.

    I love the styling! The first one I ever saw was in Paris, France, and i?ll Never forget that event. Came back to the states and I had to have one. Great performance, quality, and economy. I had a 2010 model that I simply put too many miles on it not that the looks, performance, or condition of the car shows them. Just traded for a 2016 model with low miles. Had to look long and hard to find this one! I?m very pleased!!

  • Awesome car but no value

    The thing that takes some time is the rather wide B-Pillar. Reason for this is that it can create a blind spot and make it tough to pull into a street.

  • LT in Sales is AMAZING and so are THE CARS

    Car is great and amazing interior design. The sales man LT was the most helpful, honest car salesmen I've ever worked with. He was willing to help me with negotiating & with my trade in. I love my new (used) car, and the interior is stunning. Bringing my friends there to get their new cars!!

  • Best car I could have imagined to get.

    This car absolutely exceeds my expectations of what I could've seen myself in before I bought it. It's comfortable, powerful, it handles like a dream, the stereo is superb, and it gets great gas mileage. I'm absolutely getting what I paid for.
