2015 Volkswagen CC 2.0T R Line - CNET

The Volkswagen CC. Almost inarguably the best looking thing they make. Let's drive this 2015 CC with the R line trim and a third pedal and check this out. Here's the problem with the CC. It's a member of the Volkswagen product line that is very heavy on four door cars in a U. S. market that is very heavy on crossover. Now, the CC of course, comes at you as a premium vehicle. So you're not likely to pull up next to another one of these at a stoplight. The other problem is, of course, if you want the basic function of this vehicle and can live without the swoopy looks, you're gonna look at a Passat for $6000 or $7000 less. Now inside our CC, things are a little disturbingly common with the Passat and the Jetta. There's certain benefits to having a common look and feel to your cars until they make this high trim one feel too much Like the low trim one. This is going to be the first car this year I've reviewed that I can say that about. This is standard with navigation and backup camera, but blessedly, there's not much of it. The tech that's missing from this car is like a History Channel piece from the year 2005. It has no entertainment app support like Pandora or Aha. No driver assist tech like blind spot, adaptive cruise, or lane capeing, and even the nav on this r-line model doesn't have traffic. Source: www.cnet.com
