I can't say enough about how much I love this car. Handling is tight and the ride comfortable. The acceleration is not super sensitive but now that I'm not in my 20's I actually prefer the ease of driving of this car. The joy of driving this car along the shore is unbelievable. I used to have a mustang convertible which compared to this car is coarse and unrefined.

I wanted a convertible, but in WA state, it can get a bit cold, so a soft top was not the best choice. I test drove a couple other vehicles, but for the money, the Eos was the best choice. I have enjoyed every minute of my car! It has all the speed I need, and enough get up and go to merge nicely into traffic. It handles very well. The sunroof is amazing, and the convertible top works like a dream. The back seat is a little tight, and I can't carry golf clubs in the trunk. There are big blind spots, so one needs to be very aware of what is around them. Otherwise, I couldn't be happier with this car.

Missed the German feel of previously owned Audis. TT was too small and expensive and the didn't want a soft top A4. Drove this car at the beginning of the summer and considered the Volvo C70 and a BMW 1 Series. In the end, the EOS's smooth turbo, smooth ride, DSG transmission and tranformer like hard top couldn't be beat. Gas mileage as high as 35 on the highway, averaging 27 mpg while having a lot of fun. Have LUX with 17" wheels, sport suspension and IPOD hookup. It's now my Kid's favorite IPOD accessory. Front drive will spin the wheels especially in the sport mode. Touch screen won me over, sometimes is slow to react and hard to see in bright sunlight.
LOOOOVE THIS CAR

Great car ..... looks super with top up or down. Convertible top lowering and raising is a thing of beauty to see how it all fits together perfectly. Grandson refers to it as "grandpa's transformer car." Great mileage -- up to 30 mpg on highway trips; average about 21 on mixed city and highway. Leather upholstery held up wonderfully -- no sign of wear at all. Only slight negatives are little difficulty getting out of back seat (but what 2-door doesn't have the same problem?) and such limited trunk space when the top is down (but ... there's nowhere else for it to go now, is there?) Wouldn't recommend for the sole car of a family, but for retirees it's a great car ... nice looking and surprisingly faaast when you punch it.

This is a sports car period. My wife and I are in our 60s and the EOS fits our life style. A set of Michlelins on the car and hold on. Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina "look out, we tear it up." Punch the accelerator the front tires break loose in first and then going in to second "I find NO lag time on the turbo". I read reviews that people who review this car say it is slow, I say compared to what? " A Lamborghini ????? It's fun car. There is PLENTY of cargo space in the trunk. With the roof down no. SO what does this mean... Leave the roof UP if you want something in the trunk. The trunk will fit two large suite cases. We do it all the time. For long object one can take down the arm rest and fit it through, it's not much but it can do this. EOS does like Premium fuel. The roof is amazing we still watch it after 6 years and NO leaks. Over all WE like the car. Unless you drive it you will never know. The car can be mild mannered but it will take turns well.
