I bought this car two years about at 36k miles. All was well but many issues have come to the light. Cosmetic issues such as the air vent direction pick has broken off on 3/4 vents so far, my passanger visor has fallen off and had to be replaced, the upholstery on both door panels are falling off, one of my window buttons has broken, and last but not least, the rear seat head rest FLEW off. Everything is this car is flimsy and cheap in my opinion. Continuing with the cons.... I have had many engine leaks, coolant leaks, valve issues. Cost upwards of $2,000 to fix those. I have seen dripping occur during the raining season through the roof. THE PROS! This car is so fast and zippy, I can get around just about anyone. The screen and system are very simple to use, bluetooth connection never fails. The sound system is quite impressive so such a petite car. I love everything about this car (except for those issues stated above). I enjoy driving this car but it frequently requires maintenance. This car is so adorable. I'm glad I got to experience having a convertible, but when my payments are finished, I will be more excited to get a new car!

Beware of Defective Water pumps

I bought a 2012 EOS in April of 2011. As of this writing 12/24/11, I only have 3,100 miles on the car and it has had 3 water pumps put in. Fortunately, the car has not broken down yet, but the water pumps build up pressure after the cars warm up and a screeching noise can be heard from under the hood. My first was found by accident. With only 400 miles on the car, I had gotten out to run back into the house to retireve something and I heard the noise. I brought it back to the dealer and was told VW had a batch of defective water pumps and they would put another one in, which they did. Stand outside your EOS and listen for the noise! My car is being replaced.

A lot of mechanical magic in a small package

I bought a 4-year old 2015 Eos because I was looking for an interesting convertible. The prices on used models are pretty good considering the crazy folding hard top feature. Unusually for a convertible, there is also a sunroof which you can use while the top is up. The fold up/fold down procedure takes only a minute or two, but the car must be fully stopped. PROS: Car looks great inside and out. Nice instrument layout, touchscreen navigation, comfortable multi-way adjustable seats. Acceleration is not bad, although a little halting due to the transmission. Cruises smoothly and comfortably at speed. During my two years of ownership I only had one issue, an ABS wheel sensor failed. It was under warranty but would not have been too costly if not. CONS: Access to rear seats is tough, like most 2-door convertibles. Trunk space is adequate if you have soft or small objects, larger objects are out of the question. Seats do not have memory for their adjustments. Driven a little hard the MPG drops to 12 or 14 MPG! If you drive very gently you can get up to 22 MPG. That's a little disappointing for a car this small. No backup camera. I had zero issues with the folding top mechanism, but it looks frighteningly complex.

We've had the car for about 30 of the 36 month lease. During the 30 months, car has been in the shop MORE than 60 days total (lost count). There have been 3 major oil leaks, parts failures, and the transmission needed to be repaired twice. The parts had to come from Germany. Glad we chose to lease. Can't wait to get rid of this thing.
I have had 3 of these!

If they still made them, I'd probably be looking at my 5th one. Seriously, what's not to like? Fun to drive, good mileage. Top down when the weather permits, sun roof open if it's not quite convertible weather. It's time for something new and I'm having a dreadful time trying to find something I know I'll love just as much. Help!! 😉
