Drives well, feels more expensive than it is.
Poor rear legroom, petrol engines struggle.
Good enough to elbow its way into an overcrowded marketplace.
There's extra bracing to compensate for the loss of the roof and even the basic CC-1 spec level includes front-seat side airbags and rollover bars that pop up behind the rear seats if the car's sensors feel an accident coming on. Stability control is a £250 extra. The brake pedal is set up to feel slightly spongy, but there's no shortage of braking power.
Unlike a soft-top convertible, a CC should be as hard to break into as any tin-top. If your local criminals do find a way in, the Thatcham Category 1 alarm that's fitted as standard should see them off pretty sharpish.
