thoughts on the VW CC VR6?

Why don't you just be honest before posting?
If you go Volkswagen approved it's not too much of a problem apart from a severe lack of availability (the 3.6 CC is as rare as the R36). There's currently 1 in the used network, a July 2009 with 11k on the clock for £23k. (This is what I meant about the rather scary depreciation).
I'll knock together a post on the R36 in the morning
Edit: Just seen your location, that changes things quite a bit.
Actually in the middle east insurance is based on the car, not on the driver. So once the car is insured anyone with a license can drive it.
It works really well actually, for us at least
Anyway that's off-topic!
Pardon?
how was I not honest? Where I'm based is irrelevant. The question was what people's thoughts were on the car.
I stated several times my preference is a new car, I only mentioned where I live as an elaboration as to why I would consider a used car but it wouldn't be ideal for here.

kinda makes sense that, in a way. many restrictions on that sort of insurance? or is the policy premium based on worst case scenario, ie a young new driver smashing into a ferrari?
Give all the information before you post on a UK forum. Like, for instance, you are based in a middle Eastern country.
Oh, and insurance in the 'middle east' isn't as universal as the Daily Mail description you hint at. Just ask what you want and give the full details. No need to pretend to be a prince, and no need to hide being a pauper.
nope it's just a flat rate on the value of the car which is adjusted for depreciation every year. lowest rate ranges from 3% to 5.9%. So for example if you bought a car for £20,000 and it was deemed to be 3.6% insurance, you would pay 3.6% for the first year (usually provided free by the dealer) and then let's say the car is worth 15,000 in year 2, you would pay 3.6% of 15k. and so on.
I got no idea what you're on about but you are way out of line. If you have nothing useful to add feel free not to read this post.
The question was for "Thoughts on the CC V6 as a car"
wow. not bad at all then on lower end cars and more expensive cars that have depreciated!
I like the R36 and V6 to be honest, but I prefer the CC version. It's really pretty and well for the price you can't reeaaaally go wrong except that you've got a VW badge on which will make it plummet like an anchor in water. If that's not an issue then I would say the car itself is excellent and it's had raving reviews.
Actually I might take one for a test drive and see what the fuss is about

That would be awesome thanks!
His location, circumstance, financial position etc etc have nothing to do with getting an opinion on the car.
If he wants to ignore depreciation or does not care about it then that is his choice, people will advise this and let their opinions be known but he was well within his right to ignore it. The only reason he has expanded on what you deem "All the info" is because so many people will harp about the value of the car new compared to 2nd hand options, unless he did expand then that's all the thread would have been.
He wants an opinion on the car, not bank managers and wives telling him about his money. I've nothing against people pointing out the percieved worth, that's just natural but you acting like a nonse is just a bit rich.
The OP asked about the car not for a lecture on how to post on a forum. Way to come across as a complete ****.
I agree with the others here, you are out of line. Despite the the main topic of his post clearly evading your understanding or you choosing to ignore it, and subsequent off-topic questions raised, and answers given, which also seems to have evaded your understanding; you actually have the nerve and arrogance to respond in such an offensive manner.
To the OP - The CC V6 is a nice car, actually it's really nice. It looks pretty and sleek and well if you can get past the badge it is a great car and it's VW built so you can't really go wrong as long as you don't expect to get more than a 'VW' if that makes any sense. If I were you I would definitely take a closer look at the Infiniti G37 - it's slightly nippier even though on paper the infinit 0-60 is slower. It also feels more like a sporty sedan, and I believe the handling is better. It should also be priced at the same range so double check on that and definitely give it a test drive before you buy the V6!

However something like the Infiniti is worth looking at!![[TW]Fox](/data/man-of-honor/2009.png){kind=avatar}
His location and circumstance is everything to do with getting an opinion on a car, what a stupid thing to say. Otherwise we'd recommend a £50,000 Range Rover to a single mum who needs a cheap runaround, or we'd recommend a Mazda 6 diesel to somebody who lives in Vietnam and needs the ability to tackle rough roads
Seriously... lol. Circumstances, financial position and location are what makes a recommend a car thread. If we dont consider them at all when suggesting cars we might as well suggest the same car in every thread!
Few people chose a car without considering the circumstances, location its used in and their own financial position first!
That's bull Fox and you know it.
He came in asking for an opinion on a SPECIFIC car, made no mention to his financial position, whether he thought he could afford it, the running costs, things that could go wrong that might cost him an arm and a leg.
He wanted opinions on the car, and made mention of something else he had considered. Does it matter if he can afford it or not? That's his call, not yours.
Are you telling me if someone comes up to you and asks your opinion on a £50 grand BMW you are going to analyse them, assume their circumstances then deny them information because you think that their circumstance is better suited to something a but more in 'their bracket'.
Why does everyone fancy themselves as a life coach all of a sudden.
Quite why you are making extreme analogies is beyond me. Like someone would ask for an opinion on a specific car they test drove on its ability to go green laning because they are not sure whether a convertible coupé can handle it or not.......

I think people are getting a bit bored of the spec me a foriegn car stuff. Every other spec thread these last few weeks is from the middle east. We dont live there, we dont know the market, we dont know the conditons, we dont know how cars we otherwise know well would hold up there.
There must surely be a better place to ask about buying cars in the UAE than Overclockers UK?

He wasn't *just* asking for opinions, he also said:
I can find quite a few 1-2 year old cars which would trounce that car for that price point, but without knowing his circumstances I'd have immediately told him to look for something not-very-second-hand.
We don't need his life history or financial details - just enough information to make useful comments, and I'd propose that "I want to buy new because I live in Qatar and the second-hand market out here isn't well regulated" would have been of some use.
*shrugs*
