In response to Doc's comments.

If you have a child, especially a baby, why buy a car with a coupe roofline? Just my view like.

I drove one for a bit and to be honest, I had no problems with it, preferred it over the DSG GTD I drove in all honesty. It just feels more luxurious, and I dunno, just made me smile whereas the golf made me feel a bit meh in comparison.

I'd still have a GTD but if the option was a CC or a GTD i'd go CC all day long.

Nah they're sh1t.

Horses & courses.

You'd be a horse with a long, miserable face if you bought one of those over a GTD  :wink:

I'd go into every detail about why they are so sh1t, trust me we've had em in work for long times, one of my business partners has one and seriously regrets not getting a GTD, as did my mother in law when she drove my GTD.

There both going for GTD's next - about the same time as I'll be going into either a golf R or ed35  :grin:

Not saying the golfs perfect.....

But the cc is dynamically flawed, has lacklustre performance, struggles to maitain grip in the wet, veers of on a tangent when booted in the wet, is impossible to get in and out of the back, as before but worse with kids. Oh and the residuals aren't as good as the GTD.

In short there sh1t  :wink:

I'll get of my box now - sorry there just.....

Driven one?

I'm deadly serious.  If you want a properly practical family motor there is nothing better, or with stronger residuals, I suspect.

Tested the CC today smooth drive, and very refined but not for me. I found the seats very hard ribbed leather as standard, a bit like sitting on park bench, very nice looking car though.

Back to the drawing board ??? :undecided:
