Pros: Impressively upscale feel for the price; engaging driving dynamics; generous list of standard features
Cons: Stiff ride in R-Line models; rear-seat room, especially in center position; acceleration not as smooth as in most rivals
2015 CC
CG Says: Volkswagen’s stylish, slope-roofed midsize sedan is carried over unchanged for 2015, save for a couple new wheel-design options. The CC appeals for its strong and refined turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, impressive ride (R-Line excepted), solid handling, top-notch interior design, and standout looks. Good 4-cylinder fuel economy and pricing that undercuts most premium-midsize rivals are added bonuses. If you’re willing to sacrifice some passenger-hauling versatility for the sake of style, the CC is a compelling choice.
