Fuel efficient. Fun to drive for long road trips. Lots of detail.

Very economical. Great fuel economy. Great ride. Limited passenger froom. Expensive maintenance repairs. Not enhanced.

Laura F

Fun to drive Volkswagen egos.

Fun to drive. Sporty. Love that it is a hard top convertible. Fits 4 people comfortably. Good sound system.

Shannan F

ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER OWNED!!!

Very reliable. Great gas mileage, and it's a convertible, so it's super cute!! Classy looking in the winter, s**y in the summer

Ashley P

Wonderful and sporty convertible.

Vehicle is very reliable, if maintained properly! Drives smooth and gets wonderful gas miles! The hard top convertible has needed new fabric replaced once by the dealership other than that the convertible has worked without problems!

VW EOS Review, fun convertible!

This car has all the features exactly where you want and are easily accessible (lights, wipers, radio, etc.). The only problems in the past two years with my car was the engine coils, transmission, and brakes. Keep in mind my car is a 2009 and the previous owner never serviced it and is has about 140,000 miles on it.

Awesome car, interior quality of upholstery lacking.

Beautiful model! Modern look, so people think it's a new car still. Hard top is exciting and impressive to watch operate. Inside door handle keeps coming off. Passenger sun visor broke for no reason. Door upholstery on inner door not well adhered. Material covering sunroof glass inside is degrading. Has awesome get up and go!

Only a few problems with age, otherwise runs great.

Check engine light is on and there are some electrical issues so I have to bring it to the dealership soon to get checked. Otherwise it is a great car and still runs fine, just would be bad to drive when there is ice on the road. It has held up well and has 100,000 miles on it currently.

The car is well made, the doors are good, and an interesting detail is that the middle arm rest pulls out to give you more arm space

Roof leaked when I bought it. Elbow Greece needed to get into the a pillars. Awesome car afterwards! Middle arm rest pulls out forward to give you more arm space for those of you who don't know. Reliable as ever. If the top gets stuck, look back and see if there is a flap stuck on the fabric and flick it away with a hand. It should free your convertible top.

This car has had a lot of issues for a new car. Since buying the car and having issues with it, other people have told me of problems that they've had with the Volkswagens that they purchased.

Like the convertible. Dislike that it's been unreliable - had an engine issue, replaced gas tank because it wouldn't take gas.

Eos small neat car reliable until a point.

Not really reliable. Great car until it hits over a 100, 000 miles. Every couple of months I have to fix something, always something different. As for comfort it works well I like how small it is since its a two door. Means I can turn around in tight spaces and do not even need to put the car in reverse. I have had issues with the air conditioning at least twice now, may have more issues with it in the future. I got the car when it was around 85, 000 miles so it did very well until I hit the 100, 000, every since then it has been really downhill.
