2012 Volkswagen CC
Passat owners who are bitter about the new model's decontenting can take solace in the CC.
Passat owners who are bitter about the new model's decontenting can take solace in the CC. Based on the previous-generation Passat, the CC continues to offer the sporty dynamics, exceptional interior, and premium feel that were once Volkswagen hallmarks. The base engine is Volkswagen's excellent turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Its refinement and power make it just as good as the V-6s from many of its competitors, and it has better fuel economy. If you insist on a six-cylinder, however, Volkswagen offers an optional 280-hp VR6 that's full of personality. A six-speed manual transmission is standard with the 2.0T; the optional six-speed automatic is a dual-clutch unit, meaning shifts are quicker and more direct. It's a great gearbox, particularly in a sporty car, but comfort-minded buyers might be turned off by it. All-wheel drive and a conventional torque-converter automatic are standard with the more powerful six-cylinder. The sloping roofline makes the CC a four-door "coupe" in the vein of the Mercedes-Benz CLS and restricts the rear seats to two passengers. All CCs are equipped with a panoramic sunroof, split-folding rear seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. With the Passat's recent $7000 price cut, the CC might not appear to be the value that it actually is. We love it for preserving the Volkswagen character that we cherish.
