Negatives? Snatchy brake when coming to a stop was about it. Oh, and the price. Fair enough, you get a lot more bang for your buck with a VW and the CC really is a nice car.

Honestly, in my heart I really wanted to love the CC over the Beemers as i've owned my VW for 3 years now and I've had no complaints with it. Thing is, there's still a gap between the two and it all boils down to whether i'm willing to pay that big premium.

I'll have to think about it further!

(note: I think some dealers are finally getting it into their heads that a 5 minute test drive is NOT ENOUGH. My CC test drive was 30-45 mins long. The BMW test drive was approx 2 hours. Good effort!).
hey marky dont forget to try the merc 220cdi- its a great drive as well. AND they seem to be doing deal. PM me I can tell you the merc deal.
