There goes the exclusivity!! They'll be running around with Taxi signs before long.

Be even more useful for some if they produced it with the hatchback depicted in the dimensional drawing in the brochure.

doesn't look much fun sitting on that middle seat. Think I'd rather get the bus.

With the manual I got with my CC on pages 146 & 149 you can see the rear centre armrest and the rear centre headrest. It looks like there is a 'pop out' drinks holder in the armrest!

The print date of my manual is the 31st August 2009, so it looks like VW have known for a while it would be available as a 5 seater.

I asked my lease company if my CC on order for last month or so could be upgraded t- his was their response

Further to your email below our dealer has advised that the Passat CC is only available as a 4 seat in the UK. The 5 seat is available in some European Countries, but as yet Volkswagen do not have any plans to produce it for the UK market. Therefore, we are unable to add this option.

Colour looks great

If owners were happy to order it as a 4 door then why change ?

If people wanted 5 seats then they should have gone for another model in my view , the idea of a 4 seat car only appealed to me from the beginning .

Guys can fully understand the points on exclusivity BUT there are quite a few of us out there who have two small kids and want a car that has the potential to accomodate a third. Given I normally buy a car to run for 5 years.
The CC ticks every box for me now, large boot, fruggal on the motoway, great looks and spec.

I had a very good chat with Audi about their 4 door A5, (currently drive a A3 sportback) and the lack of the fifth seat being a deal breaker.

£27k plus is still alot to drop on a new car, PCP etc, and to have this option is a very good move by VW.

The badge thing would never be a problem personally, if people want exclusivity then buy the four seat A5 sportback.

One wonders how long Audi will hold out on four seats if sales are sufferring as a result.

All CC's now come as 5 seaters with GT models including nappa leather,cruise control,sensor pack,bluetouch phone kit,sat nav as standard kit.

The car should have been like this since it was launched IMO
