I have 19,000 miles on it now and no trouble. This baby is fun to drive and you can get a ton more in it than you think. I would caution that by the time you get extra's on it the price range is more like $35,000 and up. If you compare other hardtops this is a great deal. Pricey but fun.

Silver with black. HOT. Great fun driving, love that sun roof when I have days in the great northeast that don't beg for the top down, good sound, comfy seats, gutsy engine and tranny....lots of light for us who suffer from the lack of light in long winters here. I did my homework ad nauseum, and for the money (I got a great deal for the Komfort package) you can't get a nicer car, and one that holds its value. In my driving life, I have owned a Dasher, a bug, and two Jetta's..this is the first VW since 96 that I have bought and am LOVING IT.

Beautiful to drive, comfortable, great sound system and a working sun roof as well as a convertible. Wonderful with the roof down and with the roof up looks much better than the standard rag top convertibles We bought a diesel Eos with black leather trim two months ago and my wife and I love it.

(I actually thought it was the V6 until after the drive, as it had so much "get-up-and-go"!) It was a very nice car - the handling, power, and features were excellent, and that roof is just awesome. The fact it includes a litl'n'slide glass sunroof, and a very low headspace requirement when opening and shutting is a BIG advantage over its rivals. I wasn't too thrilled by the interior styling, as the red-lit instrument panels looked a bit naff, but my wife thought it was nice.

They would capture a greater market and with a higher pricetag would also capture those would would then purchase a BMW or otherwise.

It is interesting the marketing strategy they are taking with this car.....none. I have never seen it on any tv ads, and the ads for it on the internet really don't help it break that Cabrio cute chick car image that could hurt sales.(Why market your awesome new vehicle to half the market?) Is it a "chick car" is it not, I don't know and I really don't care, but VW seems to think it is Proof of this can also be seen on the redesigned VW homepage, select the EOS and select the EOS boutique. Even though I am probably going to get the GTI( just too much fun to drive ) the EOS was a great car and can really help boost sales as the weather starts to improve, if they handle it correctly....off topic, this a great VW fan site. -Mike The EOS is a very slick car, I test drove that along with a GTI the other day(looking for a new car) and I loved the GTI, but I thought the EOS held it’s own as well.

Show me anything in this class that's a better buy, except for maybe a Focus. I think $28k is a bargain for the styling and quality of this car.

Apparently the German labor union has a strangle hold on the management, and VW really can't afford to turn out extremely cheap cars. That compounded with the current CEO's interests in moving the brand upscale has VW in a bit of a tailspin. Let's hope they can pull themselves together.
