Exterior

To all who are stuck in the ego-enhanced rut that says a family sedan can’t be sporty, you need to look at the Volkswagen CC. It’s noticeably less boxy than other VW models, and it has four doors and a super-sized trunk with enough space to carry the cage for the new bunny we bought while testing the CC.

While I was driving the CC, I noticed several people checking out the car. I could even read one driver’s lips as he asked his passenger, “Is that a Volkswagen?” It sure is, my friends.
The CC looks impressive with its sharp crease along the car’s body and its 18-inch alloy wheels that feature self-sealing tires.

I have a certain fondness for fog lamps, I don’t know why, but I love them. The VW CC has some snazzy-looking fog lamps that blend well with the car’s face. It also has bi-xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights that swivel as you turn the car, which enhances your view of the road. This is another favorite feature of mine because I hate driving in the dark.

My boys didn’t have any problems getting in and out of the car or opening and closing the car doors.

The CC’s sporty styling did have a downside: The rear window was so small that I had some visibility issues. I was able to manage, but backing up the car was a little exciting (not in a good way).
