2008 Volkswagen Eos Komfort 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

Absolutely do not buy this car. There are at least two inherent design flaws that will make the car unacceptable. 1. When you remove your key from the ignition the window drops slightly to let you out. When it is raining the rain follows the track of the roof into the car along the seal and actually POURS into your lap before you can move. You get rained on in the car! 2. The radio antenna is in the trunk. Not on top of the trunk or up front but inside so radio stations do not hold, satellite reception comes and goes abruptly and am is an almost total wash out of static. I addressed both these issues and some others with the dealership and was informed there is nothing they can do.

Hardtop convertible

Suggested Improvements

Prevent rain from entering. Put radio antenna where it will work. Fix issue with windows not always going back up when you shut the door
