- ( 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.

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.
This is the only vw car that I like so far. I mean look at this car, it is so sexy!
That is true, you don't see that much people driving CCs.
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.
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?
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
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
you guys are well on your way to becoming youtube Stars, keep it up and don't lose that enthusiasm!
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
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....
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.
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.
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.
When did Larry the cable guy start reviewing cars?
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!
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!
probably my favorite episode of tfl car ever RRRRRRR!
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!
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.
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.
I have this car for a year and a half and just love it; fantastic motorway cruiser but also fantastic in corners. Suspension is a good compromise between comfort and sport but the best part is the engine especially paired to a DSG box.
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.
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.
gr8 choice u will like it, the new one is exactly the same as the old one. I bought a 2011 cc 9 months ago and cant be happier. Try the DSG one, it moves.
I'm surprised by the numbers. Very good for the non-V6 non-AWD version
Yep, and thanks for the information. We just did a series of reviews on the Tennessee-built Passat. Completely different vehicles. Thanks for watching.
Very helpful video when you're deciding to buy or not one of these. Thanks for your time.
The Smart car, Suzuki Reno and MINI Cooper Coupe. The Reno was never filmed by TFLCar, but was on another channel.
I have a VW CC In Colorado! Go Nathan!
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.
Nathan you made me put this video in my very funny playlist!!! You made me laugh so much!! Love the editing in this video!!
I just configured it on Volkswagen website for the german market. The CC R-Line similar to the onbe testet with the silver paint, the Sat-Nav, and the headlight package etc. It added up to around 46000€ (62000 USD). I did not check any extra boxes, only the ones I think I was able to see in the tested car...
Without any options (no satnav, no leather interior, no metallic paint etc.) the CC with that engine and manual would cost 38000€ (52000$). And they said in the Vid it starts at 33000$ in the US?!?!? It's just unbelievable. The exchange rate is really doing you americans some good. You get our german cars at bargain prices :D We do have 19% sales tax. I don't know about the US but maybe that is a factor too?
8% sales tax
Thank u. Luv u guys. Keep up the great work. I watch u guys every night on TH-cam. What was the last car? Last question.
I just turned 19 and got the "14 model with R-line packaging for $16,000 with only 35,000 mileage. I'm lucky I'll say that, but this for for the price feels just like I'm in a 4-series..crazy
damn i just got one for 16,800 with 66k miles 😭
yes
This really is a great car. I had one as a rental car for 5 days and loved it. Obviously it was an automatic but it was a lot of fun to drive. Beautiful exterior styling and the interior is quite nice. BUT, the seats feel like you are sitting on a slab of granite...way too firm for my liking for any length of time.
The seats are really comfortable
"Video or it never happened" - TFLcar TH-cam page manager..... I love that line, LOL!
Thanks Nathan, I appreciate it. I might have to forget this one. I really don't like the front end styling of the regular CC only the R one. I live in a snowy State so I wouldn't want to have worry about every 5 inch diameter ice snowball on the road I encounter this winter. If I remember right I don't think the curbs in Germany are as high or slope as high as they do here. My driveway might be a problem and I assume many parking spots with curbs as well. Darn, such an awesome car!
Let me tell you guys as an owner of 2010 CC 2.0T. I have it with DSG transmission, and it is at least a second faster 0-60, and it will blow off V6 CC with regular transmission. Also, on interstate once, when I was very careful, I hit 41mpg. Average city/hwy is around 30. Camry V6, Accord V6 cannot keep up with 2.0T DSG.
Going to buy a 2010 CC Turbo 4 cylinder as well, test drove it yesterday and the thing was great to drive. Coming from a Mazda RX8, i know what it feels like to drive a peppy high revving 4 cylinder and this wasn't even much different. It may not rev up quick and load like a sports car, but its quick and has great power. And when you factor in the fact that it can get 40mpg, its a great buy for 20k$
Umm, the Camry 3.5L does 0-60 in under 6 seconds and has a low 14 sec 1/4 mile @~100 mph. Pretty sure it will not only keep up but also pass the CC.
kaniala1 umm, pretty sure it will not. Paper is one thing, actual environment is another. My friend with Lexus IS350 tried to keep up and could not, several times, not only 0-60 (which is pointless) but even bigger difference was driving on curvy roads, where low-end torque of VW just left IS in dust. So if Camry is faster then IS350, kudos to Camry.
Motor Trend:
2010 VW CC 2.0T:
200 hp/207 tq
3344 lbs
0-60: 6.8 sec
1/4 mile: 15.3 @ 92.1
2010 IS350:
306 hp/277 tq
3527 lbs
0-60: 5.3 sec
1/4 mile: 13.8 @ 101.2
Didn't know the VW CC 2.0T is also faster than the 335i and a G37.
kaniala1 Hmmm, I do not think you understand my point about real world vs.paper. That is all good for teenagers that are in puberty, however, that is not how it works when you drive on mountain road for example. No I am not comparing anything to 335i. Comparing IS350, G37, VW CC or whatever to 335i is an insult to intelligence.
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!
These guys must be best friends.
Why do you guys have a Michigan plate? Are they in Michigan or Colorado?
Great Video, btw. I Love all your Videos and I'm from Germany :)
6:30 .. that smirk though 😂
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 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
The Passat is made in the US. The Golf GTI is made in Wolfsburg, Germany.
The OEM rear view camera is available on eBay , works with factory navigation screens
@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
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 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.
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?
I kept waiting for a CCR back track. Up Around The Bend would have been perfect.
TFL CARRR!
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
good job Nathan I love this car too!!
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.
great review guys!
7:51 Regular US Passat is completely different car than the CC, it's more like stretched Jetta than EU Passat.
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
I'm getting a 2013 sport plus I've only seen 3 of them ever in real life all were at the dealership.
Very well done video and thanks for the laughs! Subscribed!
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!
Hate to be THAT guy but which ones in recent memory did you "award" that rating?
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"
Not a VW fan due to their poor reliability, but I do like the body style of the CC. Great looking car!
Over all is this a good car or no ??
I've always hated when car companies advertise their sedans as "four door coupes." Yes, it has a sloping roof line, but it has FOUR DOORS. The definition of a coupe is a car with a fixed roof and two doors.
Look it up. On most websites, they will say that a 4 door coupe is a valid variation of a coupe.
Pricewise only. CLA is based on A class which is a compact car.
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.
Tan, the Passat sold in the USA is completely different.
No, hinges are rounded and the slide into a hole without touching your luggage.
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
Well done men! I like it 😎
The upcoming BMW 4 Series will not have four doors. That is why BMW put the 3 Series coupe in its own category.
The 3.6 is available with the 4 Motion and there is an APR kit for the 2.0T that for $5.300 puts out 451hp...yowzers
does this drive like the gti? because i drove this and im wondering if the gti drives the same or if its better.
Good review but what makes it an R as opposed to a regular CC
spscorse it's a body kit
... In fact, the world's first 4-door Coupé is the 1958 Rover P5.
I will give it a buy it!!! I love it!!!
Never RWD it would be pretty good with AWD(Volkswagen 4Motion) still a good car though.
Exactly, a base A4. Add up options you want on an A4 that the VW has, then it's not the same..
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...
I love vw
What type of engine does it have ?
The European ones do usually have a rowdy exhaust
.....For the people who cant get the right name for this car its the "Volkswagen Passat Comfort Coup R-Line"
you can get a ford fusion with a manual and it was designed in germany sold as a mondeo over in europe
would you recommend this trim level or the vr6? if I get the r line, I would get an ecu tune on it
+InFiNiTe2013 I would recommend the 2.0L turbo. -Andre
I drove a 2010 2.0T with the DSG automatic, it feels way faster than you'd think... Felt like 300 horsepower, even though it's only 200...
+Midnight Mystery my mom has this car and I mean it's quick but I also own a bmw and I rather drive that any day
Apr stage 1 pushes 300+ lb ft of torque and around 270+ hp for only $600.
is there a lot of torque steer though?
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.
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?
How does this compare to the vr6 awd model?
I own this car. I love it so much
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
Manual...epic win..!!!
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.
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!
Sigh, try as I might, I can't fall in love with the CC. Once I learned the sunroof doesn't slide, and after seeing this newest design, the deal, for me, was indeed dead!
it was mercedes benz that invented the 4 door coupe (cls) and not volkswagen
He said that the CC's interior is nicer than a Passat. The interior is nearly the same as the Passat!
no it's not. I owned a 2013 Jetta, and I always thought like you. the interior all most VW are identical, they do look pretty similar in videos and photos but when you actually feel the interior of the CC you will pretty surprised. The quality is far superior from the Jetta and Passat
