Couldn't be more pleased...
So, I've been driving my new white Eos with the corn silk beige interior for a few weeks now. I have been wanting a convertible for quite some time and this was the perfect fit for me, 27 and just broke up with my boyfriend. Perfect timing. ;) Every time I get into the car I love it even more. Rain or shine, day or night, you get the best of all three worlds in driving this car, a convertible, a sunroof and a coupe. I really like the power and the many features it has. I researched this car for awhile before purchasing it and really couldn't find any reason not to buy it. So, if youre looking to purchase one, you wont go wrong!
Funin the Sun
This is my fourth VW, but my First Convertible. Have had three Jetta's before this and the last was A GLI with all the toys. But I have never had as much fun driving as I do now. The roof is great and their is very little to no wind noise. I love having the security of a hard top on a convertible. Foe the Base model with auto I really think it has a lot of options. Like I was told when i bought my first VW. The only problem is you have to replace it with another.

Still in Love
Odometer just passed 2000 with over 300 of that put on in the past 3 days. I still love it! Just wondering why I don't see more of them on the road. Hard to believe I drove that far and didn't see another Eos anywhere. By the way, I got 32.1 mpg for those 300+ highway miles. Dealer did not service (lubricate) roof seals as part of prep. We will be asking them to do that when it goes in for first service.
Classy and FUN
I've had my 2008 Eos for about a month. The exterior design is classy and it 's FUN to drive. The back seat is perfect for my 4 year old grand daughter's car seat plus groceries/shopping purchases. Rear visibility is good. Seats are comfortable. With the turbo its impossible to know you're driving a 4c. I drive to work with the top down and put it up in the parking lot for the day. Then, put it down for my return drive home in the evening. It only takes about 25 seconds to put the top up/down. So far its the absolutely perfect "classy and FUN" car for me. One drawback. It's hard to get out of the car. At 5'6", I need to pull the seat forward to use the clutch.
Fun to drive
Initially the DSG transmission took some getting used. It's a fun car to drive and surprisingly quiet even on the worst roads. I've had my car for over a year and am having a few problems with the convertible top. It doesn't seem to go thru the down process all the way. Then when I try to put the top up, I have to press the button down to complete the cycle and then pull the button up for the top to close. I'm working with my dealer to get it squared away because the hard top convertible is the main reason I bought this car. All that said, I still love my EOS!!
The Car is Fun & that is why you buy it!
Took delivery less than 2 weeks ago, great so far, fun every day. Was approached in the parking lot and asked to put the top down by several folks who loved the show. Great interior, radio. Small trunk and small back seat, so if you need room, buy a Suburban.
I love this car!
This car is fun, fun, fun! I have only had it a week and I can't remember loving any car this much. After purchasing my new Eos I left the dealer with the top down (of course!). I only got about five miles before some guy drove up and yelled, "Nice car!" to me. My daughter is seriously impressed and she has a new BMW 3 series!
Transmission problems right off the lot
I am frustrated typing this because I really do love my car, aside from the fact that it very well may be a lemon. Soon after purchasing it started puttering and having trouble shifting gears. When releasing the brake it jumped. I took it in only to find out the computer chip to my transmission was faulty and it needed to be replaced. They replaced it and literally within a few hundered miles of driving it the transmission is acting up again. I tried to take it in to get it fixed and Volkwagen claims there is no issue. I don't know where else to go with this! I am very frustrated. The transmission should not be an inssue for a brand new car! Sensors were off for the hard top too.
Intuitive Controls
I love my EOS! Traded in a Mustang V8 conv and don't regret it at all. Dealer did not have time to demonstrate control locations but they were all exactly where I reached for them. Some great planning to make them so intuitive. Handles like a sports car on winding roads. First VW since 76, glad I found this great little car.
Love this car
I absolutely love this car!! It is so fun to drive and I get tons of compliments on it. I love the way people get so excited when they see it go from hard top to convertible. Everyone starts to hum the Transformers tune!
