4.506 -> Let me start by correcting you:
this is not the Passat CC, but simply the CC.
13.418 -> Comfort Coupe, or something like that.
16.958 -> I have to say, this is a fine example of a facelift
that is not automatically leading to a better or cooler car.
24.595 -> Because the Passat CC had a distinctive and very good looking front.
31.7 -> And it's not directly because I find this an ugly car,
33.404 -> but it's based on the design DNA from Volkswagen,
as mentioned in the press release.
40.339 -> Which means that it will look a lot
like the other Volkswagen models.
44.54 -> A little more specific: the Phaeton and the standard Passat.
49.204 -> So the distinctiveness has become less visual.
52.996 -> But, Volkswagen compensates this, for example, with:
LED, which is extremely important for the average leaser.
61.788 -> We also predict that,
starting the 2nd half of 2012,
66.819 -> leasers won't select their car on tax advantages,
but on the availability of LED.
70.527 -> The performance of this 2 liter TFSI is pretty good:
a top speed of 150 mph (240 km/h) and 0-60 mph in 7,6 seconds.
79.631 -> It simply has enough traction, and the famous DSG transmission
makes sure that changing gear goes flawless.
89.085 -> The only comment here is that when you're driving
in "Drive" it sometimes chooses a really high gear.
93.717 -> For example, I'm now driving 38 mph (60 km/h),
in the fifth gear with 1300 rpm.
99.066 -> Now, when I floor it, it goes back to the second gear
resulting in a pretty good acceleration.
103.99 -> This whole process goes really quick,
so it's all working as it's supposed to.
107.192 -> Of course, we know this engine from every car
coming from the Volkswagen Group, including the Golf GTI.
114.494 -> And it's a good block, delivering a satisfactorily sound
at the outside and no sound on the inside of the car.
119.395 -> This because of Volkswagen's effort to make
the inside of the car soundproof,
122.965 -> in which they succeeded, because it's really restful inside.
125.275 -> Listen to it, no sound at all.
131.982 -> Furthermore, we've a lot of cool options on board.
A lot of new things with a few adjustments.
139.804 -> So is it not necessary to do the parallel parking yourself,
because the CC can do this on its own.
143.233 -> The Passat CC was also capable of doing this,
but the CC is simply better at it.
146.581 -> Besides of that: lane assist combined with blind spot detection,
or in other words: is there something in your blind spot?
153.734 -> If that's the case, and you try to go in that direction,
then the CC will correct you.
158.371 -> And it will also do this with road surface marking.
161.679 -> Which is pretty annoying if you ask me.
163.933 -> And furthermore, I think that if you're driving
with a system like that for a few years...
166.929 -> and suddenly decide to take your wife's Polo,
you got a good chance at ending up at the side of the road.
177.42 -> This car simply does a lot of things for you.
180.485 -> Not a positive development per se,
I'm not sure if this makes it safer in the end.
184.748 -> But this is the Volkswagen with the most amazing interior!
187.977 -> Okay, there's some wood in here
that would be better off in the stove.
192.965 -> But besides of that, for example the seats
are simply perfect.
195.819 -> Perfected in detail and build from light brown and dark brown leather,
so we're good in the earth colors today.
202.566 -> All together, this cars feels a little premium,
which brings me to the positioning of this car.
209.385 -> Well, this may be a car for people who would rather not buy
an Audi or BMW because they find that a little too showy.
217.571 -> So the CC may be more suited for the normal guy
who made enough money, or something like that.
223.006 -> The Volkswagen CC is chic, but not really cheap.
It's in the Netherlands a little under 39.000 euros.
232.507 -> For this you get a 160 hp gasoline engine block.
235.25 -> But a CC with more than 170 hp,
comes standard with an adaptive chassis.
239.808 -> In the Golf I found this really unnecessary,
but in the CC I noticed some difference.
250.294 -> But the influence of the adaptive chassis is in the CC not as big
as in the uber-class, such as the S-class, 7-serie and A8.
257.322 -> But in comfort mode you do feel the differences,
as well as in sport mode when everything gets a little rougher.
267.955 -> So if your wife forbids you to buy a premium car,
visit the Volkswagen dealer sometime.
274.486 -> Because this is basically a premium car,
but looks a little different because of the badges.
279.35 -> You also pay a premium price, but it does feel different.
