General Comments:
Volkswagen CC is a fantastic looking car. 4 door saloon but coupe like styling. I really like the look of this car in silver. Original VW alloys are also well suited.
Inside it is one of the most comfortable and spacious cars I have ever had. Soo many electric features and modern looking interior for a 2009 car. Faultless in regards comfort. I will say with certainty anyone will find any journey as a driver or passenger very comfy.
To drive the 1.8 petrol is punchy with the manual box, only does around 35 mpg and tax is expensive. Some repairs have also been expensive. But the performance is good, and the engine is smooth and quiet, and it very much feels like a luxury car. If buying again I think I'd go for the diesel 2.0 TDi for the sake of lower running costs, better reliability and better miles per gallon, but if you do a low annual mileage, this 1.8 TSi petrol will do you fine.
A great car with almost no negative points. I believe the "Arteon" was the successor, but it's a shame the CC is no longer made.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
