2009 Volkswagen Eos Reviews, Pricing & Specs

My wife decided that since nearly her entire morning commute is driving along a nice winding road through Saguaro National Park it would be nice to have a convertible that would better let her experience the natural beauty on her way to and from work each day. We looked at a number of cars and configurations and decided on the VW EOS for it's peppy turbo, modern DSG automatic transmission and convertible hard top. So far this is a decision that we do not regret. Our little EOS has more than met our expectations by providing everyday practicality along with convertible fun. The zippy 2.0 turbo 4 gets excellent MPG averaging over 30mpg combined city highway in our experience. Even with the top stored in the trunk you can still have enough space to run a few small errands and with the top up trunk space is comparable to any other compact sedan and you can still enjoy some open air driving thanks to the enormous sunroof built into the convertible tops operation. Another nice touch is the single button to put all four side windows down or up at one time. Overall a great little car that offers the rare combination of both fun and practicality in equal measures.

I just purchased an EOS today and so far I love it! The car drives like a dream and is gorgeous to boot. It's roomy enough and has the great option of sunroof/convertible. Unfortunately it was pouring today, so couldn't go topless :) I did notice a small wind noise from the driver's side with the top up, but no rain came in. Not sure if that's normal or not yet. I didn't hear when I test drove another car, but it also wasn't crazy windy that day and I wasn't on the highway. So far, handles great. I previously had a Jetta with the works and this matches the interior except for the radio controls on the steering wheel. Still getting used to not having that. As for the fun factor? Doesn't get much better than the EOS!! I would highly recommend this car for an affordable midlife crisis LOL

This vehicle had leaks in the sunroof in addition to heater core issues and the radio console would not even turn on.

While its a fun summer car, the FWD makes this car suffer from a a bad case of torque steer as the car barely weights anything! The best part of this car is the convertible hard top which features a retractable and tiltable sunroof - not only is it an industry first, but it's the biggest sunroof on a coupe i've ever seen!

This car is super fun to drive. Car was loaded and a great deal especially as it had low mileage.

The inside features were below average to me-it just looked waaay older than it shouldve to me. Plus, the car is smaller than i thought it wouldve been...just didnt like

Requires premium gas. Now about $85 to fill up. Too much for my budget.

It is such a fun car. it is a car u hve to consider it. it has great fuel mileage. great on a sunny summer day. its a hardtop convertable with sun roof! it is leak proof in rain or car wash.
