Volkswagen Eos (2006 - 2014) 2.0 Sport FSI 2d (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I don't know, but I get great pleasure from it.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone is impressed by the engineering that has gone into the convertible operation. Also think it looks goos with the roof up or down, has a high spec look to the interior and has roomy and comfortable rear seats.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, it's well made and has good attention to detail. Mine had 18" alloys fitted by the original owner and that improves the handling.

What are you likely to buy next?

Don't know as I haven't thought about a replacement yet.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£23,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

It was a reasonable deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a convertible and had looked at Peugot, Renault and Vauxhall. The build quality, looks, rear seat space and boot space were far better in the EOS.

What was the dealer like?

Very good

What's it like to drive?

A real pleasure.

What's it like to park?

Needs the parking sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Squeaks from the roof, interior condensation and then a major leak in February. However it went back to the dealer under warranty and they took 4 weeks to reseal the roof, replace all the carpets/ mats and it is now squeak and leak free.

What's most practical about your car?

Glass roof which gives a nice open feeling when the roof is up. The ability to tilt the roof panel or completely open it when the weather is not good enaough to use as a convertible.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The front, above the windscreen, and rear wind deflectors which are very effective.
