Christmas present arrives: New Passat CC V6

[Leagle]

Thanks for all the replies everyone.

Yep I checked the invoice and the Kufatec was advertised as a "non genuine accessory" though definitely described as "premium bluetooth". Confirmed that it was circa $700 too.

Re transmission glare, have not noticed it... yet!!! I'm sure I will now lol!

Am trying to post up some pics - anyone got a link to an easy way I can do this lol?

Hey Leagle,

Congrats on the new car!

An easy way to put pics up is join photobucket.com.au
After you've uploaded your pic to photobucket, put your mouse over the pic you want to attach and a lil box will appear, go down to the bottom and copy the "IMG" one. Then past that link onto your post in this forum.
Cheers,

Jayse.

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?

Can you remove the shiny bits?
If so, get a can of plastic-dip and spray them over and you end up with a non-reflective surface.

After mention of the glare on here yesterday, I really noticed it on the way to work this morning! DOH! LoL

Wasn't really that annoying though.

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.

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

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).

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.
