2012 Volkswagen CC Sport PZEV

Power comes from Volkswagen’s lively 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder, churning out 200 eager horsepower. This motor loves to rev and pulls strong throughout the RPM band thanks to the turbo boost. A smooth shifting 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive round out the CC Sport's powertrain. This 2.0T motor provides plenty of power while still achieving 31mpg on the highway.

The CC ditches the typical bland midsize sedan styling for a sweeping, wind-cheating profile that turns heads. Yet the interior remains sensibly spacious. The ringed gauges and chrome accents complement the sporty, driver-focused layout. Up front, the 12-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support dialed in long-haul comfort. Dual zone climate control ensures passengers stay comfy in any weather.

Standard equipment includes desirable features like a power sunroof, touchscreen sound system, Bluetooth, heated front seats, and split folding rear seats. VW’s clean, understated design language provides an upscale but not flashy ambiance. The CC exudes refined restraint without giving up driving enjoyment.

Having covered just over 110,000 miles, this CC still has plenty of crisp commuting and road trips ahead. Proper maintenance will allow the 2.0T engine to keep delivering buttery smooth power and efficiency. Finding an affordable German sports sedan with this equipment list and mileage presents a great opportunity.

The 2012 Volkswagen CC Sport threads the needle between practicality, refinement, value, and driving excitement. With its unique styling, potent turbocharged engine, and generous features, this VW deserves a test drive. The CC proves you can have sleek looks and real-world functionality in one stylish package.
