What are other people with the 2.0 T getting with their CCs? Please do respond.
Thanks.
They just did a full test of the VW CC and specifically cited "Road noise" as something that could stand for improvement on the car. So I look over at the specifications and see they measured 67.0 dB at 70mph cruise.
I think to myself "That'ss not great, but not high... I'll look around to some other tests". So then I find the BMW 750i they've been driving for some time now. I've never seen them complain about noise, and I'd think if noise were at all noticeable in a flagship near 100k dollar luxo cruiser like that, they'd be complaining much more quickly than they would in the CC... and yet they measured 66.7 dB at 70mph... just 0.3 dB less than the CC, and made no mention of noise levels. Same with the ES350 which by most standards is a car people would probably expect to be quieter than a similarly or lesser priced VW, but it got a rating of 67.5 dB (0.5 higher).
Dan Edmunds actually replied to an email I sent in to Edmunds asking about consistency in road noise measurements and gave a lot of great info. He stated some things I already figured like wind direction, temperature, track surface, etc can all make a difference. He also stated a couple things I hadn't thought of, like how one noise can be technically as loud or maybe even quieter than another noise, but be far more noticeable and irritating. To a decibel meter it doesn't matter, but to the human ear it stands out.
So I guess it sounds like I'm answering my own qualm here, but I guess this just further enhances my case for the need for more thorough sound measurement testing... testing that's done in a more lab like environment and is broken down into frequency ranges to demonstrate noise that stands out more than others. Dan said they were working on something like this, so all I can say is... hurry up! :P
Some would love the kind of road noise that a Chrysler 300C made, yet I disliked it...
Why don't they? It's a lot easier and faster to paraphrase what somebody else has already wrote! I'm not suggesting plagarism but when you read some of these reviews it comes close.
Thanks,

Is pricing better on leases or buying?
Also, I got a insurance quote on a 2010 cc and it was $19 per month higher than my current 02 passat insurance rate with everything being the same. My problem is that I got a quote on a 2010 passat and it came out less than $2 more per month. Why would the cc be that much more expensive to insure then the almost the same passat?
Why is this forum not listed under Volkswagen CC? That forum just states,
"There are currently no discussions about the Volkswagen CC.
Please sign in to start a new discussion."
I am afraid that this is probably making a lot of people miss the great discussions in this forum.
Not sure how it compares to the Passat rates tho.
2010 VW Passat cc Auto MSRP $29,400
Selling Price $25,925
Monthly Payment $351.89
Due at Signing: $1,693.74 includes ($901.15 Tax, $351.89 first payment, $235.20 MV,$205.50 Doc fee + tire tax
Money Factor 0.00134 Residual 54%
Its worth mentioning that orginally I was quoted $394.50 however, I was than told that the lease #'s he used were for a 2009. So he adjusted the lease numbers. Any insight would be great. Thanks!
I have never paid a doc fee when I have leased 3 cars. If there is a doc fee, I understand the dealer needs some money, but $205 is really high. But, I would hate for the dealership to lose a deal over a doc fee. It comes down to principal, and they are already getting a deal from the cost of the car. The Doc fee is just frosting on the cake.
I would jump on this deal, however work on that doc fee. At this time, the dealership needs to be thankful they have people wanting to buy from them. Asking for more hand outs such as this is very unprofessional.
I just bought a CC. Love It!! was planning on a passat, but once i drove the 6cyl CC i had to have it. It makes the old Passat body look so well Vanillia. Sorry Passat. So on to my question. I had the hands free installed and it works and sounds beautifully. I have had issues with other cars. Either it sounds like crap in the car or the person you are talking to thinks you sound like crap. The problem is this mysterious fourth button. I am reffering to the "phone" button on the left side of the nav display. It does mute the radio, but I refuse to believe this is its only purpose. I just took my car to the dealer for my courtesy checkup and no one there could tell me it's function. I am not surprised since I am in NW Arkansas. This dealer has sold 3 CC's in 6 months. I have been cruising Vw sites and boards trying to solve this mystery. What makes it even more frustrating is that nobody ever brings this up. The "tech" guy at the dealership looked like he was 15. At this point I probobally am more familiar with the operational controls of this cars than anyone at the 3 dealerships I have gone too.
Thanks.

If you take off from a dead stop and just let go of the break, do not apply any pressure on the accelerator, and the car feels like it "sputters". For those who have driven a manual car before, imagine letting go of the clutch without giving it sufficient gas, you'll produce this engine "sputter". Funny thing is that if you look at the RPM gauge and it doesn't move. You can also feel this car sputter/shake if you do the same thing going in reverse.
Of course I became concerned with this and took the car immediately back to the dealer. When I got to the dealer the service agent made me take a test drive with a mechanic. As soon as I put the car in gear and took off he acknowledged what I felt. So then they bought out the service manager. He told me that he has the same vehicle and experiences the same thing in his car.
He claims that it has to do with the type of transmission DSG. He allowed me to test drive to other CCs. One of the CCs had only about 40 miles and another with about 5K miles, and both vechiles did the same thing.
I was just wondering if anyone else experienced the same issue or had any thoughts?
Want to know more about DSG Transmission - I found this link useful: http://cars.about.com/od/thingsyouneedtoknow/a/ag_howDSGworks.htm
Probably just one of the quirks you need to adjust to.
Sale Price: $25,156.95
12K mi/yr
36 months
$1,161 due at signing TOTAL
$359/mo INCLUDING PA 9% lease tax
This is the first dealership I've been to -- going to another this morning -- my feeling is that this is a pretty decent first offer.
I had in my head (based on the current advertised lease deal $279 with $3,299 due) was that I was going to be around $335 BEFORE tax.
Any thoughts on this? I am in the Philadelphia marketplace.
Other notes: I test drove the car last night and am very impressed with the performance and well, the interior amenities put a few other cars interiors to shame -- including my current car, a Lexus IS 250 (though I do NOT like the CC badges on the back -- the 2010 base model I drove some how didn't have it on it which I was happy about).
Anyone have any feedback on the color combos as well? I am leaning white with the two tone, or silver (seeing a silver vehicle today). I always go black, BUT my new home doesn't have a garage so I feel I will go nuts keeping the black clean. I kinda like the two tone interior??
First, thoughts on the v6 for $29,995.00? Then, the dealer offered me the 2009 2.0t for $439.00 per month, $1669 due at signing for 36 months, 15k. ny comments appreciated.
Thanks.

I think the car is terrific and well worth the money I paid. The fit, finish. leather seats, handling, engine, nav are all first rate not to mention the beauty of the exterior and interior. I have had the privilege of owning many more expensive cars but none better. I hope I feel the same a few years from now
in order to get the best price, where do i look these days? they are offering $9k off the 09 right up front, that would do it for me to buy it fast (probably) if i could get the same price on the 10.

i just started shopping & will not buy until i have gotten the best possible price. i would get an 09 but there are none i can find in my location with the dvd screen.

It seems like you really need to purchase these cars for them to be worth it as the lease offers don't seem that great. Does anyone know the money factor for the 2009 2.0t lease. My dealer is giving me some very wide varying numbers on the lease.

I was offered a 2010 w/dsg sticker 29,400 with an internet offer from Dorschel for 27,700 plus taxes. This is close to sticker. They said this must be a clean deal. I'm not sure if I will wait until spring or summer, but the car great. Hope this helps.
I have taken the car 3 times to dealers for service and they still have been unble to correct it. At first the service managers had never heard of the problem and after speaking to VW they finally admit that there is a design flaw but still unanble to correct it. The last time they had the car for 2 weeks. Question I have is when there is water and you live in Atlanta and the temp dropped, what happens to the working of the doors and windows.
Has anyone had and experiance with the lemon law in Georgia? :sick:
