The 2008 Eos comes with a choice of engines: the Volkswagen 2.0T four-cylinder and the innovative Volkswagen 3.2 L narrow-angle V6. Either way you get plenty of power and the innovative hard-top coupe convertible for as little as $28,915 for an Eos 2.0T and $37,990 for the Eos 3.2 L. The 2008 Eos 2.0T offers 200 horsepower and 207 lbs.-ft. of torque from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. High-pressure, FSI helps with performance and efficiency. The 2008 Eos 2.0T is EPA-rated at an e...

Whoever this jackass is, he is quite obviously a shill for VW and not
an honest broker.

Nobody could praise the Tuareg V10CDI, one of the most polluting, fuel-
guzzling vehicles manufactured on earth today, or push a "people's
car" priced from approaching $30K to approaching $40K with a straight
face otherwise.

I just purchased a new 2008 Eos, after looking at several other
convertibles.  The retractable hardtop/sunroof make this an especially
remarkable car.  I nearly bought a BMW 328i hardtop convert, but the Eos
is more than $15K less ... and gets better ratings in Consumer Reports.
I've been a Toyota customer for many years, and I seriously considered
the Solara ragtop, but I like the retractable metal roof on the Eos much
better.  Visibility is also so much better with the top up on an Eos.
Perhaps Toyota will have a retractable hardtop in the near future, since
this ('08) is the last model year for the Solara.  For now, the Eos gets
my vote as the best 4+ passenger convertible around $30K.  If you get
the most expensive Eos, you can still spend around $40K ... but the
typical trim levels are close to $30K with normal discounts.  And ... 0%
financing for 36 months.  It's not a flashy car like the BMW, but it has
clean lines and attractive, understated good looks.  Good job VW!   Paul

All I can say is make sure you get rid of it before the warranty runs out.
Oh yeah & get used to water leaks.

Well, so far I'm quite happy with the Eos.  It's fun to drive, and I'm
getting great MPG.  But, on the issue of problems ... I hope you find
help for your negative attitude and pessimism issues!  Paul
Craig - 26 Jul 2008 01:24 GMT
Its not a pessimism issue. Its a realism issue. I worked at a VW dealership
for 2 years having to fix those things. Nothing but headaches.

I know a chap who works in VW service- BC, Canada.
His wife works in service at a Toyota dealership.
They compared notes and he bought a Toyota.  His boss threatened to fire
him, but changed his mind when he heard the reason he didn't buy a VW
for himself.

Another friend is from Germany. He gave up on CDN (Mexican) VW quality
in the 90s. He told me the VWs in Germany have no such problems.

I got the 7-year mechanical breakdown insurance on my EOS... so I'm not
worried.  And the leaks are minor.  Even through a high-pressure carwash
only minor drips...

Wise decision.

What leaks in a new car.
My 10yr+ Chrysler has never leaked.

The 2 VW Beetles I had many years ago also didn't leak.
Where is the body made, in low quality Mexico?
Craig - 30 Jul 2008 00:25 GMT
The roofs leak. VW's say 1 drip per second is acceptable. Only with this on
the EOS is most times the leak drips right on the drivers & passangers leg.

I gave the EOS a serious look while I was at the dealer making my deposit
for the 09 TDI Jetta.  What a GREAT looking car.  If I had the garage space
and some extra cash, I'd buy one for a fun car.  It's a tad too small for my
daily driving needs (I'm a salesmen that carries a lot of literature) but it
truly beats everything I've seen so far in a retractable hard top.
