i can’t seem to read enough about Passat CC news, so far I go to the VW CC fan page on facebook to check out photos of other people’s Passat CCs and the mods they’ve done, posted a photo of my Passat CC there too, heh heh, joined some local chatter at autoworld.com.my, and check out what our couz down south are doing to their cars. i would have to admit that they are pretty advanced. they place bulk orders through a guy who orders the parts from germany (i’m sure he makes a profit, but perhaps lower than what the sparepart workshop would charge). check out the threads on vagsg.com. Then send it to a shop to get it installed and VAG-com recoded.
Firefox, you should check out vagsg. no harm driving down to s’pore, come back with a body kit, heh heh.

But the question that begs is whether any mod or parts installed would render the warranty void?

personally i just want to get the iPod MDI cable (shouldn’t be too expensive), and a Fiscon Bluetooth and handfree kit. check out the Kufatec OEM website, http://www.kufatec.de/shop/index.php/cat/c328_Passat—CC.html/page/1
enjoy….

It’s really a car made more for comfort rather than sport and racing. You can hardly feel the road with its ACC modes and feels like its floating. I am so tempted to get into the S gear in my DSG box but technician advice is to wait till 1000km first, let the car change its gear naturally. I’m somewhat a safe driver, but really the car is screaming at me to go faster. I got a 2.0 TDI for some extra power just to get out of sticky situations, and has a nice hum on the highway when the turbo kicks in. Corners are great and well balanced and work wonders on a roundabout with sports mode.
Fuel consumption is fair and good. So far based on my driving pattern (rather safe and reasonable) my average based on the car record average at 8.2l/100km. I spend equal amount of the time on the freeway and in the city.

Interiors. With all the bells and whistles in the car, VW has managed to reduce the clutter in the cockpit while maintaining the luxury. It’s all very familiar with the normal Passat, but with the extra sporty spirit. I got the fabric seat option (2 tone) and it feels just as good as the leather seat which I’ve test droved, and looks just as great. All the controls are within easy reach. One thing about German cars and in particular of this, it feels big yet you can get the sense of its scale almost immediately and can maneuver through difficult corners I thought having problems to getting through. Nevertheless, the rear camera is an indispensible component with the narrow rear window (knowing there could be kids especially around my neighborhood) worth the extra buck. Oh, and I got the 4+1 seat options, though rather low at the rear but can still fit in a 6 footer comfortably.

Exterior. I know it’s all about taste. It was love at first sight. There’s a strong resemblance with the standard Passat, and the lower roof and broader width makes it look and feels faster. Lots of chrome parts may put some people off. I choose black to bring out the details of the shape better. I just feel the car looks ‘clean’ in terms of details and tooling up, not too much but enough to makes you to take a second look. I was driving it next to a CLS (the inspiration to the Passat CC) this morning and can’t help but feel VW car designer did a better job on the exterior (at half the price too). Again that’s my opinion.

It’s refreshing to drive a car of this class that has yet to be contested thoroughly. Yes, there are many models/makers out there which can offer the same/better spec on paper and cheaper, but really, it’s the extra little details and thoughts that has been put in place that gives this car a special feel when you step into in. You can’t really put logic into feeling I guess, but it’s very real alright.

Personally I’m pleased to see more effort from VW and Audi to push themselves to compete with the other 2 giant German car makers. The Passat is of those efforts that will elevate them to the next level, and that is just the start. I hope to see more good things to come from these 2 carmakers.

i wish there are more demand for the passat cc. recently found that a friend has bought one too. the more the merrier. whenever i explained to friends that i’ve bought a passat cc, they always go “why the passat, aiyorrr”, because they thought it’s the old boxy passat that i’d bought. this is a branding issue that VW should have resolved before they launched the car. when they saw the passat cc on the road, they called me back saying “wow i’d seen your car, it looks sleek, good choice”. ha ha

I’m waiting to collect my Passat CC this Wednesday. Firefox, how long has your car been delayed already? hope you’d received your car, or are you enjoying your car so much that you never go online anyone, going for joyrides whenever you can?

thanks for the tips… must be cash, credit card won’t do the trick? ha ha, i didn’t really think i would buy the Passat CC right there and then. i just had lunch at paramount with my wife, went to Jalan 222, wife said ok to buy, so we bought it, otherwise could have tempted them with the cash on the table, ha ha.

so another month to go.. good to see another candy white passat cc on the road.

is beemer an authorized dealer (sorry for my ignorance), if not where do they get their cars from?

oh yeah btw, VW and proton deal in the works again, but rebadging the passat as a replacement model for perdana, NOOOOOOOOOOOO….

shouldn’t it be something like what VW JV in indonesia on the Touran MPV? that should be proton’s niche market
