Drives amazing and smooth.
I love everything about it from interior, how smoothly it drives, all features function correctly. Only bad thing is sometimes the gear takes a second to switch then the car takes off.

Amazing car high end for low cost
I love my car, the drive is smooth besides loud tires and engine but that comes with the sport edition. My only issues is my coolant light leak and having to get new tires. Not meant to be driven like a Honda, everyone that gets in my car loves it. When I speak to other people who have had a similar car they only speak good things.

The car has been reliable.
It is a good car that is almost at 200k miles, but, it has needed some work. The coil packs have had to be changed more frequently than they should have. The intake manifold had to be replaced. I had to replace my rear main seal due to an oil leak. The parts are more expensive than other brands.

Sleek vehicle with good gas mileage and very comfortable.
Mileage is very decent on my vehicle. The only issues I have is when a problem occurs and many mechanics are not able to fix it due to it being an uncommon car to fix less common than a Toyota for example. The interior is lovely and I think it is a sleek car you just need to keep in mind the potential issues you may have with the car like any car.

My VW cc trunk, wipers and comfort.
I love how comfortable the seats are and how smooth it drives. It has automatic wipers which is really convenient when it rains I do not need to mess with the switch. It is a 2.0 which saves game but the turbo help give it the power you need. The trunk is very spacious.

I don't like parking next to anyone.
No problems with my vehicle and it is performance is excellent. Having patience and buying what you really want is important.

Fun car to drive. Sporty to have a little fun, but will not get you in trouble.
If anything goes wrong, it is always electrical and expensive. Always get the extended warranty. Always.

The best car I've ever bought.
This card is very beautiful, almost look like it's a BMW but without the price tag. Very reliable. Clean. Drives like a dream. I have over 140,000 miles on it and still drives like new. Although the parts [if your car breaks down] is very expensive I do believe it's worth it.

Volkswagen cc luxury sport.
Performance is good for speed and acceleration. The maintenance is not good or affordable. Battery life is okay but you have to go back to dealership for them to install. Overall the car is good and luxury. I recommend keeping all the maintenance up to date.

Nice, but could be better.
The VW cc is a fairly reliable and attractive car. That said, some of the safety and convenience features one would expect in a car of this class were omitted. For example, the car has a panoramic moonroof; however, it does not open. There is a navigation system, but no backup camera. Maintenance has been fairly routine.

2013 Volkswagen CC Sport: What I like and dislike
I enjoy driving my Volkswagen CC sport, however, it is super low to the ground and hard to get out of. I wish it had backup cameras or a beeper to let you know you're getting too close to something. I also wish that when you open the drivers door, the locks on all doors would unlock. It's a pain when parked in my garage and having to go to drivers side to unlock when I need something from the trunk or passenger side. It does get decent gas mileage but is a little sluggish when first pressing the gas. I wish the radio system were a little more user friendly and wouldn't randomly change from radio to CD, etc., on its own. Other than these things I really do love the car.

Nice Sporty but affordable car
Luxury style, fast, leather interior, very reliable, air conditioning vents to back seating, v6, While its '4-door coupe' designation is, in fact, an oxymoron, the Volkswagen CC offers the sweeping roofline, frameless side glass and low, aggressive stance of a coupe with the practicality of four doors. The CC differentiates itself from the affordably priced mid-size Passat with superior interior materials and a distinctive, curvy profile resembling the elegant designs of more expensive luxury-branded vehicles.

2013 Volkswagen cc lux- many complications.
From when I bought my car in July 2019, I have had so many problems. From water pump to multiple pipes needing to get repaired, it seems like it is been one thing after another. The interior of the car is unreal! Absolutely beautiful. The outside look of my VW is gorgeous as well. With it being a foreign car, the maintenance is very pricey! It is never easy and has just been one thing after another.
accountCircle Gillian S
The backing out camera is super helpful.
What I do not like about this car is that it is loud. It also has a sensitive gas pedal and that can be annoying at times. But I do like the reverse camera and the Bluetooth speakers. I did get my car used so it is not brand new. Last time I drove it the rear view mirror fell off.
accountCircle Lisa A
Volkswagen is a great product.
The car is great on gas. Runs well but is very touchy when it comes to switching gears neutral to drive etc. Back seat is very compact not for a large family one car seat fits with one adult seats are not made to hold a toddler car seat. All other items are great trunk room is great.
accountCircle Kat H
Not worth the cost or effort.
The water pump broke because its made of plastic. Passenger seat sensor broke and caused electrical mayhem. The car has an oil leak, not sure how are why. I would not get another cc or VW for that matter. The car has horrendous blind spots. I can't tell you how many people I've almost hit because I simply could not see them.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Christiane G.

It is an amazing performance car. It is beautiful and you do not see many of them on the road, because it is low to the ground, it hugs the curves no matter the speed. I love it and I love that it is sporty but also very chic in the way it looks.

likeFilled Alexander R.

The pros of my vehicle is that it is very stylish, as well as having enough speed and comfort to make the driving experience a pleasant one. It is a car made for anybody looking for a great, but also safe driving experience.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Christiane G.

It is very expensive to maintain. I just paid 1200$ to fix it and the dealer is asking for another repair that is over $2000 to fix. Hence, I am considering of trading it in and buying a Japanese car since they are cheaper to maintain in the long run.

dislikeFilled Alexander R.

The cons of the vehicle are that it is difficult to maintain. You need to have the car routinely checked to ensure that everything is ok with it. Scheduled maintenance is the key to ensure that your vehicle will last.
