Why don’t you think, you wouldn’t get a good CC within that budget. I bought mine 18 months ago with a similar budget. Mine had just over 100k on the clock with full VW history. got to say it’s been a very good machine. I do around 15k a year. It is certainly not a sport drive, but does the job very well.
My wife owns a Mazda 6 (petrol) so lightly different. But if I had to choose between the two I would always take the CC. The Mazda 6 is a great car. But the CC is more comfortable, quieter and so far we have had more issues with the Mazda than the VW.
I stand corrected. I didn't think they had dropped that cheaply. Now I've had a look, it looks like the OP would get a better CC than VRS, so I'd swap my recommendation to that.
