2007 Volkswagen Eos 2.0T Reviews

everything is awsome
the qualitiy is nice
and the performance is enough!!
150 horsepower with 1,4 tons is enough to get an insane start.
it has a hardtop but can be also used as a cabrio!! (which is very nice)

After driving an R32 for 3 months it's hard to compare, however you can not get a better equiped hard top convertible in this price range.

2007 Candy White Eos, Cornsilk Leather - Delivery date: June 18, 2007. Current KMS: 11000.
I ordered this vehicle in November 2006 - replacing my 2003 20th Anniversary edition GTI.

My Eos is the best VW I've ever owned (4 brand new - 12 in total). I checked every box on the order form (18 Samarakand wheels, luxury package, windblocker, blah blah).

At 11k - I can report NO rattles or squeeks - my car is bolted together very solid. There have been no leakes either - however, if the car it/has raining/snowing, there are no rain channels in the roof design, so water run off with the windows down (even a centementre) will allow a cascade of water onto the door (and window switches).

Stereo is solid - I opted for the dealer to install an aftermarket ipod adaptor in the glove box - works well enough but I can't contol it fully from the dash unit.

Had the windows tinted at the dealer - reasonably good job (had checked Vortex on pointers before) - apparently is was difficult but it looks great.

I've had the car 7 months and it still gets a lot of attention (not to many on the road still - the exclusivity is nice). I paid full sicker and I have not regrets.

The DSG is great - most of my driving is urban (downtown toronto). I find that it can get 'snappy' sometimes but for the most part its great. The padel controls come in really handy.

I dislike the stadard rubber. The car has lots of power and I find the wheels break loose very easily. Come spring, stickier tires will be put on the car to improve launch control and cornering.

Coming from my 20th Anniversary GTI - the ride is much more compliant. Not nearly as harsh and more bearable for day to day driving.

No issues with the roof mech. The bumber sensors are great.

The cornsilk leather colour is difficult to keep clean.

I have not had to take it to the dealer once for any service related issues (a first for me with a VW in the first 10k).

I live in a condo with underground parking so the car 'thaws' at night. I have had 2 incidents where there has been ice rain and when I tried to unlock the car, the windows did not 'nudge' town to permit access. I managed to get the door open, but upon closing, the window rested against the roof strut. No biggy but I had a moment of concern.

There is an area in the boot that has warnings to not put items in that location. I found out the hard way when I left my Gucci sun glasses there. Note: Roof crushes Gucci.

I'd recommend the Eos to anyone. I looked at the 3 and the C70 and the A4. Money for fun + wow factor of the Eos = satisfaction.
