In 2009, Volkswagen debuted the CC, a slick “four-door coupe” whose flowing silhouette suggested high-performance European luxury, but whose platform was strictly Passat.

Passat is Volkswagen’s mid-size, four-door family sedan. When the time came to introduce the expected two-door coupe, VW instead stretched the Passat a half-inch, lowered its roofline 2 inches and re-sculpted its sheet metal. Hands-down, the resulting four-door was one of the prettiest VWs ever.
-
The CC ($33,360, including destination) took its official name — Comfort Coupe — from its stylish shape. Never mind that historically the term coupe has been reserved for cars with two doors.

Our R-Line tester was equipped with the manual gearbox that, while it doesn’t turn the CC into a track star, increases driver engagement. The steering system that feels light in town firms up nicely at speed and body control is quite good. The ride is firm but never slips into punishment mode

At its inception, VW positioned the CC as a four-passenger ride, with a center armrest/console separating the two outboard rear-seat positions. Last year, it removed the console, making room for a third second-row position that’s just roomy enough for a child seat or, briefly, a small adult. Rear-set legroom is abundant but headroom is not. The trunk is smaller than the standard-issue Passat’s, as well, though the rear seatbacks fold flat to increase cargo space.
