    I've been needing to clean this car for a while now. Since it such a nice day I did so. It's a 2012 VW CC with just over 1,000 miles. This is the first time I've washed or vacuumed it.

    It has a 2.0l turbo engine with a 6 speed triptonic trans. Today I had installed a new maganflow cat back exhaust. I have a couple other mods planned for it.

    This car is my daily driver.





















    Yup even quad buck seats.

    Looks nice but it should it's brand new lol. I don't know anything about the newer vw but the older tip trans weren't very good. I'm sure they have improved though.

    I have two different modes. Street and track. In street the trip trans isn't the greatest doesn't allow you to select gears as freely as I'd like. Once you put it into track mode you have power and better control of the trans. I love driving this car. Most of the time it stays in track mode.

    Thank you! I too love this color. But it'd be better if it were white.

    The Push to start key is a neat feature. These seats are comfortable, but my 21 year old grandprix has much more comfortable seats.

    Watch for carbon build up in them 2.0t's - looks nice though. Oh don't forget about spending $500 on a chip... trust me the difference is large!

    I heard the new 2.0T's run at higher temps to help combat carbon build but a 2012 is new enough that we may not see some results for a while.
