Additional Description: The base CC as tested here is a different bowl of bouillabaisse, a driver's delight that includes essential equipment but eschews unneeded distractions. Officially, it's the Sport 2.0T with the standard 7-speed AUTOMATIC transmission, and its $33,550 sticker reflects no options. The entry price has been a little lower in the past, but the packaging has been realigned and this year's CC includes a standard 5.0-inch touch screen, navigation, a rearview camera, and adaptive bixenon headlights—it's a better value proposition than was the 2013 we tested previously in a stick-versus-automatic comparison. This one ran near-identical numbers at the track, taking 6.5 seconds to hit 60 mph en route to a quarter-mile in 15.1 at 94 mph, stopping from 70 mph in 168 feet, and cornering at 0.86 g. That's good enough to be entertaining on your favorite byways without setting anyone's hair on fire.*This vehicle is Certified Pre-Owned and is eligible for our third party warranty program.4-Cyl Turbo 2.0 Liter,Auto 6-Spd DSG Tptrnc Spt,FWD,Traction Control,Stability Control,ABS (4-Wheel),Anti-Theft System,Keyless Entry,Air Conditioning,Power Windows,Power Door Locks,Cruise Control,Power Steering,Tilt & Telescoping Wheel,AM/FM Stereo,CD/MP3 (Single Disc),SiriusXM Satellite,Navigation System,Bluetooth Wireless,Car-Net,Backup Camera,Dual Air Bags,Side Air Bags,F&R Head Curtain Air Bags,Heated Seats,Dual Power Seats,Daytime Running Lights,Bi-HID Headlamps,Fog Lights,Alloy Wheels,
