1. Replaced drive shafts first week
2. Issues with a rattling panoramic glass roof from day one very common with the CC (VW finally got it sorted after one year)
3. Clunking DSG VW can't seem to fix going back in for service for the 3rd time they still don't know what the issue is
4. Annoying rattles and creaking all over the car
5. Bad body flex
6. Drive quality very poor in comparison to other cars in it's price range
Car should be priced at 40-50k then it would be a good car

Certainly sounds like you have some issues there, which is a shame. I'd suggest that it's not largely representative of the CC experience however. I have no such complaints from mine and have heard rave reviews from other owners, including those who have previously have Benzes, Beemers and the like.

Oh, and even a $40k car with those issues would be unacceptable.

Cheers,

I have had my CC for 6 months now. The only thing that I could fault was the rear doors started to squeak a liitle. I sprayed some silicon lube on the seal and noise went and has not returned. I do expect now to do this from time to time but it only takes a second. I have driven my car a bit on dirt roads and there is no dust leak and it's very quiet.

This is my first VW and I would replace mine with the same car again. Very happy with it.
