Owned a 2009 VW Eos that was totaled. Could not live without convertible. Looked at used BMW & Mercedes but Eos was my top pick. Fun car to drive and love updated body style on the 2012. Same engine as 2009 but 2012 seems smoother. Ride is much better than 2009 - not as much road noise & don't feel all the bumps like 2009. Love the push button start and keyless locking/opening of doors. Upgrades in Lux are well worth the extra couple of thousands over the Komfort. Will keep this car forever and love the new color choices - bought rising blue metallic and have had many compliments on color

This senior has been driving domestic cars for 50+ years and recently leased a 2012 Eos Komfort convertible. My prior lease was a Pontiac G6 hardtop convertible The Eos blows the G6 away in many aspects and I loved that car. Some words I use to describe the Eos are fun, quick, smooth, and beautiful. After 30 days and 1000 miles, I find the quality of workmanship and operation to be excellent. My mixed driving habits net me 28.3 mpg overall. The rear seating is fine for grandkids but I usually do not use these seats. With the top in the trunk, you still have some room to go grocery shopping, not so with the G6. The wind screen behind the front seats is a welcome feature. The car gives just enough road presence that you think you're driving a sport's car.There is a moderate learning curve for all the gadgets facing the driver, so engage your dealer's knowledge at delivery. My VW professionals made me very comfortable. There is a vast array of exterior colors, I picked the Black Oak Brown with beige interior which has attracted many lookers. It was in the brochure and hooked me immediately. Now I can't stop finding reasons to drive my new Eos.

What's not to love? Beautiful coupe styling, quick disappearing roof (guaranteed awe factor with the transformer-like action). Plus the extra wide sunroof! Nothing is more disappointing to an open-air seeker than having to spend the winter under the dark padded roof of other convertibles. Heart pounding interactive audio system. Very ample boot space, even with the roof system stored. Highly responsive power and control. Tight turning radius and comfortable cruising. The turbo lag is just foreplay. Giving the driver just enough time to hang on tight before take off. Absolutely LOVE this car!

I bought my 2012 Eos Lux for $15K in November 2017. I was looking for a sharp convertible that was front-wheel drive (due to the snow in Ohio) and had rollover protection. As far as I know, only Audi and VW meet that criteria. I saw my black Eos with red leatherette seats online at a mom-and-pop dealership, and it looked extremely sharp. There are some scary reviews of the Eos out there, but I haven't had any issues yet. The closest thing I've come to having an issue is that sometimes I will get a "Key not in range" message even though the key is with me and inside the car. I've discovered that if I hit the unlock button again, it fixes the issue. Other than that, the car has been completely reliable -- no issues starting, no funny noises, no problems putting the top up and down. As the professional reviewers have observed, the interior is high quality -- the dashboard is padded, the seats are sharp looking and reasonably comfortable, the controls are arranged well -- it's all good. I would say that the navigation system has no sound, and it's really a pain in the butt to use other than to just turn it on and see upcoming intersections, etc. Hence, other than looking pretty, it's essentially useless. I was also surprised to discover that trunk storage is about the size of a baseball glove. OK, I'm exaggerating a bit. But unless you want to take out the piece that enables the top to go up and down, there's very little storage -- certainly, not enough for a suitcase of any size. This isn't a family car, but if you're a single or a couple, you can always put the suitcases in the back seat. I've also found that opening just the sunroof is not a great idea; it's extremely noisy. However, it's nice to let the sunshine in by just opening the shade. Of course, the EOS is the ONLY car that has both a sunroof and a convertible top. Gas mileage has been great in the summer, especially on the highway. Overall average recently has been in the 26 mpg range. VW stopped making the Eos a few years ago, but this car still looks sharp -- especially the tail lights. The entire car looks better with the top down than it does when it's up. The car is a little short and stubby looking with the top up, and looks like pretty much any other coupe. Since these cars haven't held their value well, you should be able to grab one for $12K or $13K (2012).

My wife wanted to buy a convertible when we moved to GA from NY. We chose the Eos because of the hard top because our infant son. We also liked the roll over protection that is built into the rear head rests. However with the top down you have little room for cargo. We expected this, however I can barely fit my golf clubs in the trunk, even with the top up. The turbo charged engine is OK and fun at first, however it takes some pedal control to come off the line without slamming yourself back into the seat, when the turbo kicks in.
Loving it!

I just purchased my 2014 Executive and am loving it! I'm 5'11 and was worried about leg and head room, but it's perfect. Drives great and I'm getting better than 30mpg on the highway. (on a 200 mile trip with 50/50 top down/top up I came out with 31.5 mpg over two mountain passes)

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.

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.

Year round driving hard top. Sun in your face. Wind in your hair - summer. Cozy, warm, quiet - winter. I had a 2008. Now 2013. Love it. Great on highway or in city. I never knew I could love a car until I owned this one. Only maintenance expense in 6 years. Top goes up/ down in 20 seconds for rain or shopping. Turbo is there when needed. Wind shield cuts down on wind noise. Love this car!!

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!

VW Eos Executive........comfortable in it's own skin

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.
Love my Eos!

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.

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.

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!! 😉
Fun to drive

I was dead set on getting a hard top, four seat convertible, and in my price range, there was only this and the Chrysler 200. I've never owned a Chrysler and don't want to. So that left this. Within two weeks of picking up the brand new 2012, the leaks started. VW won't fix it because they "can't diganose it." The way they "diagnose" it is to run a three inch Home Depot shower head attached to a hose suspended a foot over the center of the top of the car. Turns out when it rains in Rochester, NY, it rains over the entire car, not just a three inch spot over the center. VW America is a nightmare of a company to deal with.

Hard to find model in low mileage one owner good condition. We looked at several before this one; those didn't live up to the advertisements. Car Fax honestly presented the car in the pictures and descriptions. They even did another walk around on it before shipping to me, checking a couple of concerns, and confirmed there were no issues. In person inspection showed it wasn't perfect but pretty close to new condition, better than expected for the age. Fit what we were looking for, and at a fair price. Plan to keep it a long time. Now that we've driven it a couple of days, still very pleased with it. Had one little snag getting it shipped to us for review; seemed to get lost for about a week where nobody was sure where it was, but it got worked out. Kind of expected under current conditions. Delay really didn't matter much to us. They made it right.

I bought this car few months ago as a second vehicle. It's been a joy to drive with the top down and I love every minute of it. Coming from a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta I can feel just the extra 50hp this car has to offer. It's nothing sporty but if your daily driver isn't a Ferrari you should have plenty of fun. Interior is pretty simple and the sound system is fantastic even with the top down. The screen is very simple to use and not overly complicated. The only cons I've had of this car is slight reliability issues but it's a used car so you can't really complain. I've had an oil and coolant leak and my top stopped working for about a month until I fixed them. If you're looking for a first convertible that's cheap, fun, and will create lots of memories then this is the one to get. Everything mechanical will have its problems and that just something you expect when buying a vehicle.
