Dave,

I did have an axe to grind with VW over their initial design of their vehicle. They missed the mark on so many items it was truly disappointing. When you compare the Passat CC redesign against the Ford Taurus SHO redesign, they only made major exterior styling changes to the vehicle. (versus the SHO which added the ECO Boost 345hp engine) The interior was the same, the engines are the same, suspension, transmission etc… etc… I was really disappointed how such a sexy looking car could have missed the mark. Honestly I was hoping that my feedback would have provided VW points to improve in their subsequent models. They are SO close to having the mixture right on the vehicle. I do want to be clear I LOVE the exterior of the car but I really expected more out of this German vehicle.

Das Auto.

My CC is an awesome car. I’ll admit it’s not for everyone, but it is a great blend of performance and elan for the price. The 3d Nav is super cool, the radio rocks a 30 gig hard drive to load with music or videos, and the car turns heads wherever I roam with it.
The reviewer seems to have an axe to grind with VW. Whatever. This car is sweet.

Epic failure? Hmmm, that’s not at all what comes to mind when I look at mine. I don’t know about the VR6, as it was out of my price range, but the Lux Plus is a pretty terrific car. You’re singling out points that don’t compare with similar cars, but you make no allowances for ways that those cars don’t stack up. I wish writers would really do their homework and do a true cost comparison, just like you would if you were spending your own money, rather than a superficial, hit-and-miss comparison. I compared the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, 3 different Subarus, BMW 3 series, Audi A4 and Volvo S60. By the time you loaded up the Fusion and Sonata and any of the Suburus with similar options (Nav, etc), they were either just under or over the $31k that the CC cost. And none of these cars compared to the CC. Yes, the WRX is very fast, but it’s expensive and screams “boy racer.” Can you really compare it to the elegance of the CC? The cars that did compare favorably, the Audi, BMW, and Volvo, are far more expensive when comparably equipped. I agree that a car that meets all your points would be quite a vehicle, but I challenge you to find one that meets ALL your points for less that 50 grand. To me, the only thing that’s an “epic failure” is your comparison.

I just bought a left over 2010 CC. Its a sharp car but the DSG transmission sucks. I hope VW comes up with a fix for it.

Very deep comparison. Nice post and very good info
the price for this scar is very reasonable as compared to other cars from VW.
if the specs and features are considered then this is very good car and even the $27000 to $38000 price tag is also good.
the mileage is very nice with 21 to 31 mpg. Great car
