Volkswagen cc you will be very satisfied with this vehicle
This is my first Volkswagen.. I love it..the styling, advanced technology, gas mileage are incomparable for the price..Its German engineering at its best feels like I drive a way more high end car. Never thought I'd own a Volkswagen, the decision I've made to purchase this car Volkswagen cc

Overall the Volkswagen 2016 cc is a pretty good car all in all.
Well the car itself is quite good it drives well and steering is also pretty great. One problem I do have with it is the seats can be somewhat uncomfortable sometimes but besides that it is pretty good. The gas mileage is great too. The handling is quite good as well.

Good car, elegant, comfortable, and very reliable.
My Volkswagen cc is very comfortable and powerful, my experience with it is very good. Driving the Volkswagen cc is easy and smooth gives security because it responds with the power of the engine and good brakes. Inside is very spacious and comfortable has luxurious lines.

The Volkswagen cc - a great intro luxury sedan with ample power.
I really cannot say I have anything bad to say about my cc. It has ample power and the luxury features are very nice. The car drives well and have fairly good sound deadening. The fact that the cc has no frame around the doors as they are frameless sometimes adds to the road noise but I do not consider it to be that bad. I got it for a very good price as well. The cc was discontinued in 2017 for the new arteon. I think the style of the cc is great though. The fastback look gives it a unique look when on the road and it will stand out against other cars. The cc comes with 2 different types of engines. The 2.0 liter I-4 that puts out 200 hp and the 3,6-liter v-6 that puts out 280. I have the 200 hp version and it has some good get up and go. The gauges and instrument panel are easy and clear to see and the mfi (multi-function information) display allows you to get information on the car at a glance. The stereo system is also very good in the car. I have an android phone and really enjoy the ability for it to connect to the car so I can have all my GPS info right on the display in front of me. Overall, I would say this is the best car I have owned and really enjoy driving it. If you can find one used for a good price you will not be disappointed.

We cannot let our VW cc go!
It is been an amazing vehicle. The only issues have been the stereo and trunk latch. It drives very smooth, and the interior is top notch. The trunk space is huge, and our kids are very happy with the back seat roominess. We're on a Facebook cc page, and everyone seems as happy as we are with the car.

So glad I chose this beautiful car.
I love this car! It has a siri-like artificial assistant that allows me to make calls without picking up my phone and has a very user friendly touch screen. The stereo within the car is amazing it is great to get lost in the music while driving. It is very spacious and comforting. The seats are a bit difficult to maneuver but once you get used to it there is no issue. There is a back camera which makes reversal 110% easier. No complaints about this car at all!

Gas guzzler does not save you money on gas.
None haven’t had no problems I like it I got it for my son. The only thing I do not like is when I stop and park the breaks feels like they do not all the way stop. Also it is not very good on gas and it takes premium so gas is very expensive. Almost 60-70 to fill it up.

Is The 2016 Volkswagen CC A Good Value?

The value is very decent compared to the price. As a somewhat luxury vehicle I feel the pricing at a little under 40,000 was very appropriate.
