#174 of 349 H20 in Doors, Update on "Coughing/Sputter", Final Lease Numbers and TSX/CC by melonball3

Jan 04, 2010 (10:59 pm)

I leased a 2010 VW CC Sport 2.0 Manual in November 11, 2009. Black/Black with CC "Protection" package (aka chrome pipes, mat in trunk, and splash guard)
 
1) I have NO issue with the water "pouring" out the doors -- in fact, I don't have any water leaking anywhere.
  
2) I had a slight issue with a sputter/coughing with the car when I first got it. I have not noticed it over the last few weeks at all, and when I was feeling it, I figured it out that it was happening when the car was running cold.
 
3) My final numbers are (Pennsylvania Lease) = $333.46 INCLUDING lease tax (9% in suburban PA). My dealer was very aggressive on the CC, and to make the deal, bought me out of a lease on a Lexus IS 250 with 4 months left at $500 a month, PLUS plowed in $1,300 toward the new car. I basically came out on top on a car I didn't even own - no other dealer would make this offer. I wrote a check for $500 at signing.
 
4) TSX vs CC: I was also stuck between the TSX and the CC (which sounds like most people on this forum end up between these two). I am probably out of the normal range of the posters on this form, age 30 Female, as it appears this is more of a "guys" car in the 2.0 manual, and purchased more for the "wife" if the V6 auto.
 
Anyways...Ultimately, it came down to overall drive and interior appointments, and of course, price. I was leasing either way, and I was definitely getting Manual Trans. I had ruled out both the BMW 3 and Audi A4, based on what I felt to be less value for the $$.
 
I thought the TSX drove well with the MT, but the drive of the CC could not be beat. I also felt the TSX lacked a bit of..."something" on the interior...it all felt very plastic-y to me. Don't get me wrong, The TSX interior is nice, beautiful leather, but everything else just seemed like black plastic. It didn't seem to match the outside of a good-looking car.
 
I kept going back to the CC. The whole package is a "looker" when on the road and I LOVE the touch screen radio - what a great addition for 2010 and the scheduled maintenance (PLUS state inspection AND emission from my dealer for 3 years complimentary) was unmatch-able. My CC is badged on the back with the CC 2.0T, and I don't mind it. I thought I was going to and was going to have the dealer remove it, but it blends nicely with the rest of the chrome and so it stays.
 
Hope you all are enjoying your CC's (sorry to hear about your loss to a drunk driver...that sucks) and to those on the TSX/CC fence, make the jump to CC.

The "Badging" on the 2010 CC is simply that the back of the car says "CC" on the left lower side of the trunk and "2.0T" on the right lower side of the trunk. The letters are approx 0.75" high and done in chrome.
 
In 2009, VW did not "badge" the car with "CC" or "2.0T" on the trunk, so from the back the car only has the VW symbol on the trunk.
 
I was aware of this change for 2010, and I thought I was going to really hate the badging on the back but it's fine and goes with the rest of the chrome trim.
 
If you really do not like it, most dealers will remove it free of charge -- my dealer offered to if I wanted it gone. I barely notice it.
 
Get the 2010 - the touch screen radio is great! The badge can get taken care of if you don't like it.

#176 of 349 2010 VW CC ipod adaptor problem by markmaclean

Jan 05, 2010 (2:24 pm)

I just purchased a 2010 CC and I'm very happy with it. It came with the optional iPod adaptor in the glove box. My only complaint is that I get a little "hiccup" at the beginning of every song on the iPod. This is especially noticeable with albums where songs seemlessly transition (ie - "Dark Side of the Moon"). I brought it in to the dealer and they said they couldn't hear the problem, but that was because they were skipping from one song to the next. You have to let the songs transition to hear the issue. Has anyone else experienced this - and do you know of a fix?

I have a 09 Luxury CC with the nav and Mdi unit for the ipod and had the same problem, hiccups at the beginning of songs. My dealer replaced the Mdi unit in the glove box. This took care of the problem.Hope this helps. Jim

I am thinking of replacing the stock Halogen Lamps with Silverstar Ultra lamps. I had then in my Dodge Charger and they made a big improvement. Has anybody tried this yet? Thanks Jim

#181 of 349 Noise when accelerating on my VW CC by ccguy

Jan 13, 2010 (5:16 pm)

Hello everyone,
   
Got a 2.0T CC Sport in November 09. When I step on the throttle (around 2k rpm) I can hear hissing noise, some kind of vacuum-like air flow from the engine compartment. the noise eases out as the speed picks up.
 
I didn't notice this untill last week. did any of the CC owners notice this?
 
Thanks.
