2009 Volkswagen Passat CC 125 TDI Road Test Review
THE WORLD of the four-door coupe is a relatively new segment that just happens to be filling up rather quickly with competitors, especially from luxury brands.
We've already seen the progenitor of the segment, the svelte Mercedes-Benz CLS, as well as the soon to be launched Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide.
But if you want a smart-looking, four-door coupe without breaking the bank, a car like Volkswagen’s new Passat CC offers four-door coupe thrills for a fraction of the price of the aforementioned luxury models.

The key question though is whether the VW Passat CC is any good at what it is supposed to do - even if it drives perfectly, does it tick the right 'image' boxes?
After all, the entire point of a four-door coupe is to offer the good looks of a coupe with the practicality of a sedan.
