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

Since the day that I test drove the car, I had to have it. It is my first Volkswagen experience and, so far, nothing but rave reviews. I love driving it and heads turn when I put the top down. It is quite comfortable, great pick-up and great build quality. I previously owned a 2004 BMW Z4 and, believe it or not, like this car much better. I looked at the Z4 again, but this car offered so much more for 12,000 less!

We got this vehicle from a family member who after buying it did not want to fix all issues so we got it for a good deal. That being said never ever take a Volkswagen to any mechanic except those that specifically deal with German cars. The car had issues because family took it to chain mechanic for the horn and oil change. They screwed up the horn and air bags and also did not do oil right which caused gaskets to go bad and cracks in filters. So $$$ later we got everything fixed. We love it, we are from Ohio and have yet to pass or see any others on the road. We do get stares and neighborly waves from fellow convertiblers (not a word, I know). It's a 2008 Komfort Turbo powder blue. The top is something from a Transformers movie. It's very fast with Turbo, but say goodbye to your gasoline the gauge goes down quickly. We have had passengers in the back who says the seating is very comfortable but they really get hit by the wind whether we go slow or fast. Never ever take your car through a car wash it will ruin the seals, Hand wash baby! The reason for 4 stars it is very expensive to get anything fixed.

Hard to beat the looks of the Eos. We’re original owners of a 2008 Eos Lux. We take it to the shop at every recommended service milestone. There’s been a lot of trouble with the 2.0 motor. Fluid leaks, oil leaks and seals needing replacement. And now it just stopped dead on the road. They say the timing belt broke and the upper end needs major repairs $5,500. We just replaced the timing belt 3 years ago and they’re supposed to last 90,000 miles. So not happy about that. We love the car but can’t decide if we should junk it and move on or repair it and hope it lasts another couple years.

I bought this car brand new & have had to many problems to list.I used to own VW's and always loved them along with the service. Their service and reliability is nothing like it used to be.I have taken my car to 2 different dealers and both gave horrible service. My car has been in the shop so many times I should be able to call it a lemon, but because they would take to long to find the issues that never happened. This month alone it has been in the shop 3 times and they cannot figure out the electrical issues or a clunking noise. I have had to take it in for leaks 5 times so far. Wish I had more room to tell all problems roof,electrical,stereo, trunk,tranmission, etc

What a Car! Style, Quality, Performance at a good price. Consumer Reports 'Top Pick'. Compared to BMW, Audi, Volvo convertibles (Eos has more options for less money). 0-60 mpg, 7.9 seconds. Good safety & reliability ratings. Spoke to several EOS owners and ALL say they love their car. Pick up is quick, maneuvers great on bends, very little wind noise even with top down. Trunk space small but ample room for groceries. Back seat definitely not for those with small children in car seats. No question that you will get stares if you put the top down at a red light. Not something I normally would do but I just couldn't resist. The guy in the BMW convertible behind me almost cried. Have Fun.
