Certainly not a car I would aspire to own.  But then, as I've found out in the last 3 or 4 months, there doesn't appear to be a current-ish car for sub £15k that I do aspire to.

If it has "heated front screen" with little wires it should be a ford because Ford own the patients on that screen.

Ford may own the patient, but it's not a Ford.  :y

I introduce my Omega replacement, a 2013 '13' plate VW CC.

Perhaps not everyone's choice, but I'm very happy, 6th gear on the motorway it's a great cruiser. It's my first diesel and I think my driving style suits it, I never like to rev too hard.  ;D

Mine is the Mk2 version, the first Mk1 version was called Passat CC, but they dropped Passat from name. I tried both, the Mk2 is considerably more refined, I think its a good looking car. It's 2.0 TDi in manual form, with GT Spec.

First off a big public thanks to JoshW for looking into these at the Auctions for me, many calls and texts over specs and prices and all sorts of other models of car, in an attempt to source on. However I ended up buying elseware as the price was too good to turn down. This surprised us both, this was considerably lower than similar specs selling at auction that day!

Photos...





Before anyone asks, having a look to see what's what under the bonnet  ;D

















The windscreen which has caused some debate, clearly can see fine lines for wires. There is rain sensor too, so I thought this must be heated and linked to de-mist functions.  :-\

You Sir, I knew I had to impress. If you did not like it, it would have to go back  ;D

Yes, more than £6k. But I still paid a 5 figure sum for it.  :)

Yeah I like it too  :y

As far as the heated front screen goes, I don't know of any manu apart from Ford that electrically heat the windscreen.

My Ford has an extra button next to rear demister button for the windscreen heater, so i'd suggest if it hasn't got a button for the windscreen, then it hasn't got one  :-\
