Volkswagen CC reviews

Not for everyone but such a nice car to own. The sleek looks combined with black paint, tan leather seats and tinted rear windows, makes people look twice, without ever feeling posey.   I haven't had this many comments about a car since my Toyota Celica 1600ST back in the 70s!  I've owned it for over a year - totally reliable, not quick from a standing start but plenty in the engine once up and running with 170 bhp. This is my first automatic and I'm sold on it. I've achieved 67 mpg on a long run.  Lots of gadgets, which I do like messing with - my favourite being the auto hold braking system, no handbrake! Negatives - it is low and it's an effort to get in and out, it has a sport mode on the DSG  and 3 suspension modes which I play with sometimes but it doesn't make a lot of difference, just high revving and extra visits for fuel.  The boot is huge - bigger if you flatten the seats but it's no hatchback! Three seats in the rear but put 3 adults in the back and you'll face a mutiny after the first corner! My next car will be a newer CC.

Just bought my 3rd one year old cc. Great looking spacious car that is also economical to run. The fact that it converts to a 2 seater estate is a bonus. Looked around at other makes but nothing offered the same value for money.

Got this car 9 months ago following a disastrous 6 years with Mercedes of most types, this was the best move I made, the VW cc is the most comfortable and reliable car I have owned. MB or VW, no contest get the VW.

This car was 15 months old when purchased and has given good service although it is loaded with far too many gadgets which don't get used. First large diesel car I have owned and wish I had gone for a petrol engine. Also regret not going for an automatic although have never had one before. Comfort could be a little better but that might just be the shape of my body. Car is good looking and has good performance but not sure whether it would suit everyone. The VW modification has been carried out and doesn't appear to have made any difference to the car.

Beautiful looking and sleek. Great car to drive and I tow a trailer for camping which it copes with easily. Extremely comfortable and good leg room for rear passengers. Fantastic fuel economy and a huge boot, love it.

One of the best cars I have owned. Has a high spec and is very economical to run.

Very happy with purchase

The CC is delightful to look at, is very well appointed and has an excellent performance. The interior comfort is of a very high standard with leather seats and clear, well laid out instrumentation. The DSG gearbox is seamless and the engine willing and sporty giving very good acceleration. The boot is enormous and very easily accessible. The road handling is sure and feels very safe. A really very good example of Volkswagen renown build quality.

I like my car

The car has been my main vehicle for the past three years. It is comfortable, generally reliable, has good performance and is stylish. Its running costs are mostly what I expected when I bought it (i.e. it's not a lightweight car, but the diesel engine mitigates this), although it did go through its first set of front tyres at 17,000 miles. Minor niggles with the satnav and radio were corrected under warranty. If I have one complaint about the car, it is that the heating/ventilation/AC controls are a bit fiddly and distracting while on the move. Otherwise, I'm perfectly happy with the car.

Good fuel economy with DSG. Comfortable and good performance

A great looking car, very comfortable seating and built for effortless long-distance cruising. Economy is good (50+ mpg)without sacrificing economy with the well-proven 2 litre diesel engine. Steering lacks feeling and tyre noise can be a nuisance on some road surfaces, otherwise one not to be overlooked if you are looking for comfort with economy.

only bad thing about this car are tyres don't last long
