TestDriveNow.com video review of the 2014 Volkswagen CC V6 4Motion Executive by automotive critic Steve Hammes. MSRP as tested: $43,760. At the the VW dealership this is the car your eyes will find first!
Oh how I miss my 2012 2.0L manual CC! This full boat V6 model is a rare beast! Pricy too! 95% will be happy with the 2.0L turbo! Thanks for this surprise review Steve!!
This car is worth every penny it cost, very reliable too I've had mine a year and never spent any money on it. great speed with the engine can't get that noise from the TSI.
As I remember the VW dealer visit, my 6.2 can't sit in the back with my head attached, only the front seats are adequate. After all it is a 4 door coupe.
Why VW Corp is surprised to see US sales going down? It is the bad quality that eroded the trust and market share. I have bought a VW CC 2014 R line in September 2013 and it had issues after issues from Wastegate rattle, clock springs, sway bar etc. Even after taking it 5 times and 4 clock springs later, the car makes loud rattling noise on regular Highways in Texas. I just can’t imagine a 35K USD car could make such rattling noise from the steering column area. The VW Tech came out with an excuse “normal characteristics” whereas cheaper Jetta & Passat do not make that sound on the same road surfaces. How could you fix quality control issue when this pervasive nature exists from the front line VW technicians? How could they flag issues to rectify parts design flaws if they play this game? VW CEO can dream on to be # 1 but he can’t rattle his way up to number 1!
When I saw the thumbnail for this review, I thought it was a Passat. The styling is way too tame compared to the previous generation and this CC should not command a $40,000, no matter how good its wheels look and it exhaust sounds.
The bonnet (hood for you yanks) is no where near as nice as the previous incarnations, it's much less aggressive looking. I actually think this color and wheel combo is horrible. Actually I think the wheels are nice if a little over cooked styling wise but the colour is rotten!!!! It's like the colour you'd see and a 60 yr old's nissan Almera uuuurrrggghhhh
