2013 Volkswagen CC R-Line 0-60 MPH Drive & Review

- ( www.TFLcar.com ) 2013 Volkswagen CC R-Line is a new age 4 door coupe. That's right a coupe is normally designed with only two doors but there's a new breed of German coupes that now have the swept back low roof line that is the hallmark of coupes but they feature four doors for family friendly loading. In another fun and informative TFLcar review we test the sporty 2013 Volkswagen CC R-Line from 0-60 MPH at a mile above sea level. In the process we also learn that not all coupes have to have four doors.

That is true, you don't see that much people driving CCs.
I'm 6'1 and basically spent 4 days in the backseat of this car. Wasn't that bad, my head brushed the roof but I was comfortable for the most part.
I kept waiting for a CCR back track. Up Around The Bend would have been perfect.
This is the only vw car that I like so far. I mean look at this car, it is so sexy!
When did Larry the cable guy start reviewing cars?
It's getting uglier every year, the first gen. Was the best looking in my opinion.
I have a 2010, and ive never been happier with any car ive ever had before than this. Ive had no other vehicle that i actually get up early for, just to drive it to work and enjoy the driving experience. What a joy!
Hve you had any major problems with it? Im looking to buy one.
I liek taking the metro to go work and relax reading a novel.
I think what they do for the american market is use cheaper components in order to try and compete with low american prices. In europe, VWs are considered reliable cars.
I can consistently get 6.3s - 6.4s in my 2010 2.0t VW CC at sea level, I guess it makes that much of a difference!
I was thinking that too, got a 2012 cc 2.0.
I’ll be purchasing this exact model in a few days as my first car and after watching this review, I’m even more excited about it. Nice work 👍🏾
How do you like it?
Just got it , worth it
I just hate how everything today is 2 liter turbo charged 4 cylinder
i swear to god... even if on the brochure it has the same horsepower as the older V6 model (Of any car), it just does not feel the same... and V6 models are getting more and more expensive
in China the price of the 2.0T CC is $50000. What a Fuck,,,
horrible review of repetitiveness. jokes are soooo lame and what's up with the porn music?
Nathan, I don't blame you for falling in love with this one. This one had my heart from the very beginning and it use to be a lot more affordable. I don't think I've seen a CC on a used car lot.
7:51 Regular US Passat is completely different car than the CC, it's more like stretched Jetta than EU Passat.
You guys are so much fun to watch. I bought a certified 2015 cc before seeing your video. It has confirmed my impressions. Like the fact that you're in Colorado too -- where I live. Keep up the fun reviews.
do you still have it? how was it?
is Nathan on speed or something? LOL
I purchased this car used a couple months ago. Only issue I’ve run into to so far was a pretty bad coolant leak from the water pump. Replaced the old plastic with aftermarket aluminum and she’s good to go. I had to do it myself because I couldn’t find a mechanic that would take it on, but it was only a four hour job. Car handles really well, and feels super nice to be in. Clutch catches well. Revs drop a little slow when you’re trying to shift quick, but that’s to be expected with a turbo
It needs a bigger engin. 3.0 L or more. And rear or all wheele drive, then this car would be even better
In Europe, the same year CC has a 3.6 V6 Naturally Aspirated with an output of 300hp and 4motion
yes
6:30 .. that smirk though 😂
I love vw
The 2.0 is also better specially when u get it tuned by APR 50+ HP GAINS...the 2.0 is a way better option than the v6
Great review! I had a 2013 VWCC and traded it for a 2018 GMC Canyon in
October 2018. The "CC" is a blast to drive! Its a very comfortable car
for both driver and passenger. Fuel economy averages around 24-26mpg.
Ride quality is pretty good, but cabin can be a bit noisy,
especially under aggressive acceleration. Reliability is the deal
breaker. I've had issues with the electronics. Fuel flow sensor and
one other sensor went bad. Finally, I had a leaky water pump and an oil
leak. I traded the car with 110, 000 miles. Its a beautiful looking
car, but as the miles pile up, I can see this being a money pit. Buy it
used, with low miles and get an extended warrantry, keep for a few
years and get out quick....
There is this sick cc R yes R that works near my house. I drool every time i go by. I only heard it start up once and it was majestic
Why do you guys have a Michigan plate? Are they in Michigan or Colorado?
it was mercedes benz that invented the 4 door coupe (cls) and not volkswagen
Never RWD it would be pretty good with AWD(Volkswagen 4Motion) still a good car though.
Great review as usual. I bought a 2009 Cc Lux and absolutely love it. You don't need more than the 2.0. The vr6 is nice but guzzles premium. Actually crossed shopped a Genesis sedan and preferred the sportiness and style of the vw as well as styling. Their change to a more "generic American" style is disappointing as they were spot on the generation before. It is the best car I've owned in 12 different purchases. I've gotten stopped or complimented more on its style than any of the others.
I'm surprised by the numbers. Very good for the non-V6 non-AWD version
Great review and yes this car is amazing. I had a 2010 CC sport manual and now a 2013 CC r line manual. They drive totally different but very fast. The r line seems to like to go fast period compared the the 2010 I had. I have upset infiniti drivers and those with the big pipes and spoilers in the back. Well worth the money no complaints here.
you guys are well on your way to becoming youtube Stars, keep it up and don't lose that enthusiasm!
Its strange to me that VW chose to call this car an "R-Line". Its is not deserving of that name by a long shot. Nathan actually made me chuckle with his pirate joke : ) Its also strange that the "R-Line" is TWO steps down from their top end Executive V6 4 Motion trim. I am not sure what executive would spend $43k on a VW CC...
This really is a great car. I had one as a rental car for 5 days and loved it. Obviously it was an automatic but it was a lot of fun to drive. Beautiful exterior styling and the interior is quite nice. BUT, the seats feel like you are sitting on a slab of granite...way too firm for my liking for any length of time.
The seats are really comfortable
All VW front end look the same to me, just like most of the other German Cars, couldn't tell the difference unless it's one of those Audi looking supercars.
It's almost been a year of me owning a 2013 CC VR6 Executive and I must say I absolutely love this car. The VR6 engine is fast, and the car itself is comfortable but sporty when you want it. It's got the looks of a coupe but he practicality of a sedan.
In-car audio clipping plus headphones equals pain
What if I tell you guys that here in Brazil VW sells this car with a engine 3.6 V6 300 hp and dual clutch for something around 77.000,00 dollars?
U.S. Golfs and GTIs will only be made in Mexico starting with the MK VII.
VW is getting more boring, unimaginative and dull. plus they are not very reliable and are not cheap to repair...
Starting price here 40.990€
Manual...epic win..!!!
The upcoming BMW 4 Series will not have four doors. That is why BMW put the 3 Series coupe in its own category.
VW has some good cars, BUT, they're obviously not the only company that make good cars. dont be so shallow
A V6 Camry will do 5.7 seconds to 60. A V6 Passat will do 5.6. Check motortrends testing comparo. Imagine what a lighter and more aerodynamic CC will do!
The US made Passat depresses me greatly. That's why I still have my 2007 Passat Wolfsburg Edition Sport and my new 2014 R-Line CC. IMHO VW should've never branched the Passat off into the Passat CC, ultimately what we now call the CC. The North American Passat demonstrates malaise on VW's part.
no only the golf and jetta and beetle are made in mexico everything else is made in europe
Most of the cars sold here are made in Mexico maybe that has something to do with it.
The cars sold in here are made in Mexico, maybe that has something to do with it.
That 15¢ clock in the dash, iron block and trunk lid hinge just scream premium :-|
No, hinges are rounded and the slide into a hole without touching your luggage.
the left channel speaker is weaker again amd muffled on this video again TFL
Assembly: Emden, Germany,
Changchun, China (FAW-VW),
Puebla, Mexico
I bought a 13 r-line with the dsg new and had it for nine years before it got totaled. Outside of the brittle suspension it was the best car I've had long term and the longest car I've held onto up to this point. It's starting to look a little dated but still such a clean look and design. Peppy enough around town and decent pull at highway speeds even for a 10 year old vehicle with practical passenger and cargo space!
nice car but the company has zero quality control down in Mexico.
Son of a bitch wearing a ulysses nardin
Pricewise only. CLA is based on A class which is a compact car.
My 2012 6 speed cc is awesome and so far it has gave me 20k trouble free miles. But i can assure you when that lease is up they can take the keys. The TSi engines timing chains have been jumping and the coilpacks fail prematurely.
Horridly horrible and ugly car... The front end looks groose
That interior is ugly the one with wood inlays in much nicer
i think that for the hp it has, it did great on power. 30k+ for luxury bussines sedan and great mpg is worth it since you will get that money back on gas. It would be worse buying a v6, with more power and with less mpg at the 30k+, in terms of money in the long run when you consider gas pay + car price.
Tan, the Passat sold in the USA is completely different.
I like how it looks, but it's interior is soo boring!
Hey Roman & Nathan. Just a quick question. You remind me of myself and my friend because we always do engine work or car stuff, and it just occurred to me that my friend and I are probably going to be friends for a long time. Regardless, time for the question. Were you and Nathan friends when you guys were kids or did you guys meet as grown adults?
Here meaning the US? That's not true (at least with newer models) The Mexico VW plant as far as I know builds Jettas, Passats are built here in the US and the rest of their vehicles get built in Germany. Its true, VWs aren't the most reliable vehicles, but they have come a long way. I had 3 VWs so far since I bought my first car, and so far no issues at all (knock on wood).
What type of engine does it have ?
The CC is a PQ46 Passat in sexier clothing. At least MB when they took the E-class and transformed it into the CLS, they at least gave it a different dashboard also. VW was lazy. Just like the Scirocco and the EOS sharing the same dashboard.
Over all is this a good car or no ??
interior so much more substantial than a Passat interior, lol... it has an updated version of a 2006 Passat interior.... I know this, because I have a 2008 Passat wagon, 2.0T, 6-speed manual with APR Stage 2, Techtonics Tuning Turbo Back exhaust (using 2 Borla mufflers)....
VW is not the best brand when it comes to reliability. However, if you check the records, VW has improved significantly over the past 10 years or so. VW CC is now among the recommended cars by ConsumerReports. I used to drive a Toyota RAV4, before switching to VW Tiguan in 2010 and I have not experienced notable differences between these two cars reliability. The main difference to me is that RAV4 is less expensive to start, but Tiguan is a smarter car and it is more comfortable and more fun.
I'm getting a 2013 sport plus I've only seen 3 of them ever in real life all were at the dealership.
Very helpful video when you're deciding to buy or not one of these. Thanks for your time.
Nathan and Roman I need your help. I'm thinking about buying one of these in the next few days but I have a question about the low front end grill. The R lines front end is about 1 to 1.5 inches lower than the already low front end of the regular CC. With your time with the car did you guys have any problems going up or down curbs or parking the car over a curb? I only get a limited test drive so for me it's hard to tell. Thanks!
When you talk about the manual gear as if it is so much better, you mean it only for the sporty/agressive drive, right?
I personally have a manual car and prefere to drive my girls automatic one on a daily use...
Wouldnt be better than the manual a automatic gear with sequencial mode?
If not, why?
Thanks!
I remember when you got not a good 0-60mph timing with a Golf-R, I mentioned that I could get 0-60 in 8.0 seconds with a Tiguan that has a Golf-GTI engine. You suggested that wouldn’t be possible. Well, you got less than 7.9 seconds with a VW CC that has the same engine and same transmission. I am sure you have a good reason to dismiss this comment as well.
Hate to be THAT guy but which ones in recent memory did you "award" that rating?
wait so let me get this straight... this car has cornering headlights but no sunroof? is there a backup camera? but im prettt sure its optional but a 33k car should have these standard
it is between reliable but not as well made/not as good ride usual suspects. and possible less reliable but legendary German engineering. i personally chose the latter
It drives like the European Passat wich it is based on (Magotan in Asia). The American/Chinese Passat is a softer car made to compete with the long distance travellers Sedans sold on your market. This CC is technicly more like the Audi A4.
Nathan, when the CC was introduced in Europe, it was called the PASSAT CC, as it shares the PQ46 platform with the 2006-2010 Passat (in the US). CC got a updated dash board, which even the 2010 Passat got the practically the same instrument panel. If you go to VW Germany's site you'll see their Passat got updates also when they refreshed it.
If you're comparing the NMS Passat to the CC, then you're correct.
It will, there will be 4 door version. 4 series will be something like 6 series - based on the lower series, priced closer to the higher one. There will be three versions: coupe, cabrio and 4 door.
hi The Fast Lane Car, i read this on my Tiguan's manual (i assume it is the same for all VW). to use Launch Control, turn the stability control off, left foot on the brake, rev it to 4000rpm (i believe), then left go of the brake =D
Interesting - here in Germany, Volkswagen cars are generally considered to be reliable. Not as reliable as, say, a Toyota - but definitely up there with BMW, Mercedes and Audi.
If it was your money, you'd stick with a Mazda 6 or an Accord. VW's are cool until you pay extra for the privilege of poor reliability.
We met about five years ago. I was doing an automotive journalistic beat for a few outlets while Roman was doing car-gear and running a triathlete website. We met at a press conference in Denver. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Nathan, I appreciate it. I might have to forget this one. I really don't like the front end styling of the regular CC only the R one. I live in a snowy State so I wouldn't want to have worry about every 5 inch diameter ice snowball on the road I encounter this winter. If I remember right I don't think the curbs in Germany are as high or slope as high as they do here. My driveway might be a problem and I assume many parking spots with curbs as well. Darn, such an awesome car!
I have to say that this is a beautiful car on the outside but I'm not a fan of that interior. But I guess for the price that's what you'll get.
You said you've only seen two in Colorado? I saw one in my office parking lot today in Longmont. Maybe that was one of your two. Sharp-looking car. One of my coworkers and I gawked at the thing for ten minutes figuring out what VW it was. I had a new Passat two weeks ago as a rental on a trip. Loved it.
I've actually heard some stories from Audi dealers and VW dealers of just the opposite, people buying a CC VR6 4motion rather than the A4
I own one of these (probably one of the two you've seen, mines black lol) and it is an INCREDIBLE car to own. Yes, I've had issues with it, more than I would rather let on. But, it makes me want to drive nothing else ever again. I look at new BMW's or Audi's and think "eh...I like mine better"
@chocolatewheelchair: the 2.slow title is reserved for the 8V 2.0L motor that is available in the Jetta (which for some odd reason, people buy, then complain it is too slow
I owned a 2010 with DSG, 6 speed is better, because it doesn't cost $400 to tune up at 40k miles. I returned it after my lease. Very nice looking car IMO.
Its funny because, even though VW claims 200 hp, it actually consists of 211 hp (mine stock 15,000 miles dynoed at 215 hp and 223 tq to the crank :D )
Hi there Roman and Nathan,
first off, let me tell you that your clip is by far my favourite CC 2013 review. Stumbled over it while looking for more hands-on info clips as I am looking forward to buying one of these sometime over the next few months - keep up the good work: Quality made show, great insight into the vehicle itself and surprisingly funny as the icing on the cake - and they say Germans lack a sense of humour - not!
no they don't. I have, & no I don't. explain
The Highline is a Canadian car eh. This is an American car review channel eh. So no, it's actually not available here eh. Oh Canada!
car full shnyaga and not very similar to the sport edishen lol !!
At $33k, I think this is almost stomping on the Audi A4's toes. Plus a few options on the CC, you can walk out with a base A4 quattro...
Yep, and thanks for the information. We just did a series of reviews on the Tennessee-built Passat. Completely different vehicles. Thanks for watching.
The Smart car, Suzuki Reno and MINI Cooper Coupe. The Reno was never filmed by TFLCar, but was on another channel.
