Looks great, built like crap
I have owned this car since March. I live in Florida, loved the design and the way it drove. Started having problems in the first week with the wheel bearings, then the conv. top made a rattling noise, now I have water coming in from the weather stripping around the top. Also, the paint quality on volkswagens isn't good. Chips occur during driving very easily. Not very satisfied. Will not buy another volkswagen ever!!
Great, fun car - maintenance is costly
We bought our 07 Eos in 2024 and have been having a blast driving it. Pro tip: If you can find one, get the 3.2 liter V6. The turbocharged four cylinders are garbage and my mechanic told me if I’d bought that model he wouldn’t even work on it. The V6 is amazing; stomp on the gas and it will literally snap your neck back and chirp the tires. Mechanic said with regular oil changes he can see it going to 200k miles (currently at 90k). Now for the bad. It’s finicky. We’ve had lots of small problems. Engine light (new gas cap fixed it), airbag fault (still TBD), oil change was $150, transmission fluid needs to be changed every 50k miles, should only be done by the dealer, and costs $500! Then there’s the roof. It’s a complicated beast. Lots going on with the roof operation. I’m waiting for something to go wrong, though the previous owner assured us he put it up and down several times a day with no issues. If the roof ever fails, the car is scrap, end of story. In summary, the 07 Eos is an absolute joy to drive and takes the “chore” out of driving. I actually enjoy my commute now. But be prepared for things to go wrong and, when they do, be prepared to open your wallet.

Most fun car I've ever owned
Not only is this car sexy, but it is so fun to drive! My husband is always looking for reasons why he has to drive it because he loves it too. We even put two car seats in the back. The wind isn't too much, it doesn't even mess up my hair on the way to work. Plus I'm always getting comments on how great it looks - it's great!! My only complaint is the trunk is heavy and hard to close - not a big deal, just annoying. The trunk space is reasonable for a convertible. I love the sunroof - it's not something I use because it's way too loud when open, but it's great to have the sunlight in the winter - convertibles can be dark when the top is closed - not this car!
A Hoot
SUPER car! Glad I waited 60 years to have one come along. Exceptional craftsmanship everywhere. Eye candy for onlookers. DSG tranny captured this stick shift perfectionist. It FEELS safe. Gas mileage runs from ca. 26 in town to 34.5 on the road. Snazzy and snappy. Survives car washes without a leak. Thunderstorms, too! Local cop follows me around, licking its chops. I behave. Only negative: no Autobahn nearby. Oh, for about 50 km of German road and no speed limits. (Might be worth a trip someday....)
The Eos Stands Alone
I just picked up my new black on black Eos two days ago, so these are just my initial impressions. I consider the exterior to be stately and not flashy. The versatility of the roof is unique and fun! The interior is impeccable and well thought out, although it could use a few more cubbyholes for sunglasses, phones, etc. The interior storage becomes limited, when you opt for the navigation system, which moves the 6 CD player from the dash to the center console between the front seats. The Eos is very quick and responsive once the turbo kicks in. There is a slight hesitation from a dead stop, but once the turbo kicks in, you're in for a great driving experience.
