Overview & Reviews

The number of trim levels on the Volkswagen Eos has been whittled down for 2009. Last year's 3.2-liter VR6 engine is no longer available, and all trim levels now come standard with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Other changes this year include optional parking assist (it used to be standard) and a redesigned optional navigation system. The new touchscreen nav system is ready for nearly any type of media with an integrated hard drive, a USB port and an SD card slot.

• Power-retractable hardtop with integrated glass sunroof, handsome styling, plenty of zip from turbocharged engine, respectable fuel economy, high-quality interior.

• Not-so-sporty handling, limited backseat and cargo space, gets pricey with options.

  Run..... from EOS - 2009 Volkswagen EOS
  By nstallent - June 21 - 2:20 am

  My Eos, that I loved, is sitting in Al Johnson Volkswagen repair shop and is going to stay there. I have 12 sheets of repairs. Volkswagen has tried to be very accommodating, but now lets see when I get to settle. I traded my 2000 Camaro Convertible with 22,000 miles, I am really upset that I traded my car for that piece of junk!!!! Nancy

  Its worth it! - 2009 Volkswagen EOS
  By EOSEJIL - March 27 - 6:56 pm

  I purchased my Black on Black fully loaded EOS in October and gave it much thought, it was totally the right choice. I have read a TON of reviews on the 07-09 and here are tips for those who have had issues. You need an excellent dealer with VW fans in service, the prep work needed on this car is extensive. I test drove several and only two dealers seemed to have it prepped right. My car has no issues at all. Also you cannot wash this car under 40 degrees or you will mess up the seals, plain and simple. If you do not have a garage I would not buy an EOS. You have to be patient with the car, the window move to get in and out be gentle. 09 DVD Nav is worth it too if you drive a

  Great functionality, poor driving - 2009 Volkswagen EOS
  By swissre - March 15 - 11:26 am

  After almost 3 months of owning a new EOS I am still happy with the functionality of the sunroof, it has good torque throughout the RPM range even compared with other turbo engines, it has very good speakers but lousy sound unit (premium) but the worst for me is how it drives. You have to be really delicate to avoid the car spinning like crazy when you start. I have the upgraded 17 wheels with Continental tires and that has helped little. So at the end it dissapoints because the engine is great and the DSG gearbox is amazingly smooth but the car is not sitting on the road as it should and can become dangerous because of the big torque it has for its size.

  3 months and 3000 miles - 2009 Volkswagen EOS
  By zrickety - January 25 - 5:03 am

  We bought this car a few months ago after looking at many cars. The EOS rocks!! She said, I never loved a car, but I love this one. High praise, believe me. Its a blast to drive. Dr Jekyl when you need to be conservative, Mr Hyde when you want to cut loose. Its early on, but the car has been consistently quick and solid. Future collectible here, would definitely buy again!

  Made me a VW Fan! - 2009 Volkswagen EOS
  By Mariya - January 22 - 1:16 am

  I searched for a convertible for 6 months, researched endlessly an honestly barely considered the VW-then I drove it and fell in love! My husband had owned a Corrado & Jetta Wolfsburg yet I never thought much of them. I am now a VW convert. The hardtop is significantly quieter than every other convertible I drove. The turbo has amazing pick up and makes it incredible fun to drive (I have never thought any car was fun) Nice sound system and great interior.

  So Glad I went with it. - 2009 Volkswagen EOS
  By mac - March 9 - 3:33 pm

  My wife and sons take my car every chance the get. I have trouble sometimes getting it to drive. It is smooth and reliable. I really was going back and forth on which car i wanted and test drove many and settled on the EOS and glad I did. The interior is excellent I do wish the back seat had a little more leg room but I don;t plan to sit in the back. the Stereo system is tops and the control of the car is tops. i am surprised on how quiet it is when the hard top is on.....Great Car

  Great car for the value - 2009 Volkswagen EOS
  By NYattorney - January 8 - 4:40 pm

  I really wanted to reward myself with a hardtop convertible- just wasnt entirely sure which. Once I saw and test drove the Eos, I immediately fell in love. Its the perfect size, picks up fast (thanks to the turbo engine), is the only hardtop with a sunroof, and the style is sleek. The only complaint Ive had so far is since I bought it towards the end of winter, Ive noticed that when it drops below freezing, condensation builds up inside the car and freezes on the windows. The gas mileage is not GREAT, but i guess we should expect that from a turbo engine!

  You get what you want - 2009 Volkswagen EOS
  By Jeff - September 28 - 2:06 am

  The car is very fun to drive. I have never had a convertible in my life so I was not to happy when she brought it home. I figured it is her car and she will be the one driving it so get what you want. She loves it. The handling is good and speed is fine. Does it have wind noise. What can you expect when the top comes off. Great car overall

  Dream Car - 2009 Volkswagen EOS
  By Joe - February 25 - 1:50 pm

  I had no idea how fun a car could be, until I bought the Volkswagen Eos. I cant stop driving this thing... It makes driving fun again. I should have purchased this years ago. The Eos has the same solid feel of your typical Volkswagon with the added luxury of being able to put the top down. The car is peppy, gets very good gas mileage and feels good to drive. Excellent sound system. My kids and their friends all beg for rides in the car. It has been a great experience!!!

  Agree with poster JLM from 10/01/2008 - 2009 Volkswagen EOS
  By MG - June 1 - 1:46 pm

  Same problem as poster JLM.Totally dissatisfied and would not buy it again. Car in dealer for at least 10 biz days for a problem that I believe VW know about all along. The DSG transmission is the culprit and appears in all VWs-not onlyt he EOS. Check the VWVortex website for similar stories. I wish that I had before I bought this mistake.
