Love everything about it except the only rear seat passengers would have to be small people or double amputees.

Most Unreliable Car We Have Owned-ever!

This car, though a blast when it is running, has spent more time in the shop than any car we have ever owned. We have owned Honda Ridegeline, Toyota Rav 4, Nissan Pathfinder, and Honda Accord. This Volkswagen has spent more time in the shop in 45,000 miles than all of the other cars combined, and each of those were traded in around 100,000 miles. This car was supposed to be my wife's dream car, but it has turned into our worst nightmare. We have just been extremely frustrated with such an expensive car. After having to have the engine rebuilt at around 50,000 miles and being charged for parts that had just been replaced the year before, we gave up the car and bought what we should have bought in the first place, a Toyota. We are 20, 000 miles into the Toyota, and not a single problem. We lost a lot of money on the Eos, but we are glad it is gone!

Everything fantastic. Only drawback is it's a rough ride. Not soft and comfortable. I feel most small potholes or road bumps extremely. All else is fantastic. Wish it got better mileage too.

It is a beautiful understated car that get's it all done. Some say it lacks character and does not hold up to the competition. Haven't really figured out what those folks are talking about. It has top shelf quality, modern tech and is a blast to drive. All convertibles lack something. The criticism I read is it not one of the cool kids in it's class. Funny though, us owners are having a great time without drawing attention. We enjoy a ride that caters to our needs and not those on the outside. I will own for a very long time. It's a great car.

I bought this car because I wanted a hardtop convertible, loved the looks of it and interior comfort level, but most importantly I wanted a reliable car in which I wouldn't have to perform much more than the yearly required maintenance on. All the reviews I read on this car gave it an extremely high ratings which is why I am shocked that I have only owned the car for 23 months and have been in the dealership for major repairs about 6-7 times. The only thing that has saved this situation is that I bought it under a CPO warranty. I would strongly advise against purchasing this vehicle that does not come with a warranty because it will break and cost you a lot of money. I have had various problems from the convertible roof leaking, to the water pump breaking, broken bluetooth, a coolant leak, broken throttle (this left me stranded on a incline ramp- that was fun), camshift disconnection, and airbag disconnection issues. I even contacted VW corporate and all they stated is that they "would take my comments into consideration". At this point even the dealership is advising me to either purchase an additional warranty or trade in, I will most likely be gladly trading this in at the end of the CPO.

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.
I love this car but many issues have arisen.

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!

Bad Trans. Twice. Plus other major problems

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.
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.
