Review
Let me start out by saying, I have been looking to by a convertible but the choices that were out there were either dull in the styling or too expensive in the cost. Well this when I happen to see Volkswagen concept vehicle at the auto show in Germany. I fell in love with what I saw. I was hopeful that Volkswagen would sell the EOS in the United States. My wish came true. Well that was two years ago. A week ago I finally got my EOS. Although
I purchased my EOS as a certified pre-owned car; I have to say I?m very happy with it. The other models that had a convertible hard top I researched were the Pontiac G6, Volvo C70, Mercedes SLK and the BMW 3 Series. Well after comparing all of these, the EOS was the better choice for the money. Lets face it fell into what I could afford were The EOS is a beautiful car and it has great performance and outstanding gas mileage. It ends there. Serious problems with engine, it burns oil, and leaks a little. I would not suggest this vehicle because I had it break down twice (only driven it 8,000 miles in the last year) and towed. Service is horrible because one must wait for a few days before they can even look at it and start the repairs. I'll never buy another VW again and will migrate over to Lexus, Infinity, or Acura.
