Christmas present arrives: New Passat CC V6

Ok here is some pics.... I even figured out how to add in signature lol!

Congrats on the new arrival, sounds great.

That's a fair few options, not worth ticking all the boxes as the car ends up costing a fortune and you don't get much of it back down the track.

Yep agree. However, I reckon the options help make the car!

Now you just need to find an R-Line kit from Europe/America and it will be perfect.

Interlagos wheels?

Looks awesome, very sleek!

Yep i wasn't saying you shouldn't get options but the main thing is that you enjoy it.. I prob spent more on mods than options but next time would order a few more things from the factory quite possibly.

Interlagos wheels?

The interlagos style wheels are standard for the V6 and look great imho. I used to have a white Audi A4 with Oz alloy wheels that looked fantastic, but I reckon the stock wheels are so nice on the V6 CC that I wheel leave them alone (sorry about the pun).

The R Line kit looks great. But I will wait until VW does a proper R CC, hopefully by the time I am in the market again in 3-4 years down the track

There is a CC R-Line however it's only in EU and America and it's only cosemtic upgrades as far as i can tell since the CC already runs the .:R36 engine.

There is no plans for a proper .:R CC

Thanks Plasmod.

I believe from your previous posts that you ordered the adaptive cruise control though which would be very nice to have. I really didn't think about how useful it would be when I ordered my car.

I think if I ordered the CC again, I would now tick all options (even the interior lighting package - lol!) though I know I would suffer at resale time. Its just that sort of car. It feels like it should be driving itself. Self park has definitely impressed a few colleagues and friends of mine.

Having said all of that, all the options are really just that - options. The standard car is fantastic as it is.

In fact so good is the CC, that I only miss the options that I didn't tick when I am actually NOT driving the car! (Illogical, I know).

You'll enjoy; however, one thing I'd like to know: do you get any sun reflection from the mirror-like housing around the DSG gear-shift?

The sun reflection is driving me nuts at the moment. I have actually put a cloth around the gear-shift to stop it. I spoke to the dealer who tells me I will have to live with it. It might be my driving position as I'm tall and have the seat back a fair way, but am I the only one?

Hey Antman, I finally noticed the glare you are talking about. I was actually in the CBD when I noticed it. It was around midday so I assume you have to be in the right direction and time of day to get annoyed by it. And yes, it was annoying (till I turned the corner). However, I have found a very simple solution for it. I placed my iphone on the top part of the transmission and the glare was gone! OK not the best place to put your phone, but its a temp solution.
