The seats go way back and have a high range of motion. This car is more roomy than my previous car which was a 2002 Acura TL. see full Volkswagen CC review |

The cc only seats four. This is only a downfall if seating 5 is going to be necessary. The rear seat is very stylish and comfortable though. see full Volkswagen CC review |
