Love the car but lots of issues - 2008 Volkswagen EOS
By Greg - December 20 - 9:00 amI bought my 2008 Eos and it has really been an enjoyable car to drive, when it is not at the dealership. So far I have taken it in at least 4 times, 3 of which for the same issues. Small leakage in the drivers window during a heavy rain, auto roll up windows do not always go back up, and breaks squeal despite the dealership telling me they are fine, it is just the way VW made them. The other issue I had recently was the battery needing to be replaced at about 30K miles (this was causing the trunk latch in the car to not pop the trunk completely open).

Simply The Best - 2008 Volkswagen EOS
By sapphirexae - December 16 - 5:30 pmI sure have read my fair share of scathing EOS reviews here. I am happy to report that for three years, my EOS hasnt had one single issue! No oil issues, no power window issues, not one leak. It has been flawless! It is dead quiet (no rattles or squeaks). The design is stunning and the interior trumps my BMW! Every day my love grows and grows for this amazing car. I dont even know if the word "car" is appropriate. Perhaps heaven on wheels works better.

AWESOME - 2008 Volkswagen EOS
By khuckabee - November 24 - 8:03 amWe have been looking at these cars for quite some time. I recently bought an 09 with low miles. The car lot gave me the story that some little old lady drove the car and just traded it in on a new one. I believe they tell that story to all buyers. I found an old insurance card in the car and found a number for the name on the card. When I called, it was an old lady and she was very nice. She loved the car and the only reason to get rid of it was she traded in on a brand new one that was the exact same model and color. She said no problems with leaks or oil and it was very dependable. I bought the car for my 17 year old daughter and I really like it.

Eos - 2008 Volkswagen EOS
By Larson - October 26 - 1:16 pmVery nice convertible. Handles extremely well, just as one would expect with a sports car. For a 4 cyl.2.0 liter turbo engine it has a lot of go and then some. More than enough power. It is extremely quiet with the top down. Very easy for people to talk, meaning marginal wind noise.

dont buy an eos - 2008 Volkswagen EOS
By apbtkid - September 19 - 2:00 amI bought a brand new (08) EOS and all Ive had is problems!!! I will never buy a VW ever again. VWs oil consumption standards are so low stating that it is "allowable" and "acceptable" for my EOS to burn through .5 quarts every 600 miles (4 qts per 4800) and until it exceeds that, VW and the dealer wont repair or address this issue. My car holds 4.9 quarts of oil, that means that if I were to wait the reccommended 5000 miles in between oil changes my car would be nearly out of oil. It has ran out of oil twice so far and unless I keep oil in the trunk and keep adding it it will continue to burn through oil like crazy. I Never buy a VW!

Great Little Convertible - 2008 Volkswagen EOS
By Cindy - August 8 - 11:13 amThe design and fit of this EOS is terrific! It handles very smoothly, has enough acceleration when needed, and has interior comforts. The display is fully designed with a compass, mpg ratings, miles to empty, etc. The design of the hardtop convertible/sunroof is amazing and causes everyone to stare when lowered or raised.

its all in the roof - 2008 Volkswagen EOS
By ripped off - July 31 - 2:53 amVolkswagen put all of their dollars in the roof and put almost nothing in interior finish. My car listed at $34,000 and the leather in the seat ends at the piping on the side of the seat. Im not even sure its leather! The passenger seat has NO electronic controls. And there is no place to put my sunglasses. Its just poorly thought out. I can see paying a premium for the hardtop convertible roof, but give me some place to store my sunglasses. I should have paid attention to the things I thought a great car would offer as standard.

Dream Machine - 2008 Volkswagen EOS
By Alan - July 6 - 11:10 amWhat a Car! Style, Quality, Performance at a good price. Consumer Reports Top Pick. Compared to BMW, Audi, Volvo convertibles (Eos has more options for less money). 0-60 mpg, 7.9 seconds. Good safety & reliability ratings. Spoke to several EOS owners and ALL say they love their car. Pick up is quick, maneuvers great on bends, very little wind noise even with top down. Trunk space small but ample room for groceries. Back seat definitely not for those with small children in car seats. No question that you will get stares if you put the top down at a red light. Not something I normally would do but I just couldnt resist. The guy in the BMW convertible behind me almost cried. Have Fun.

Intuitive Controls - 2008 Volkswagen EOS
By hedgehog - April 15 - 8:56 amI love my EOS! Traded in a Mustang V8 conv and dont regret it at all. Dealer did not have time to demonstrate control locations but they were all exactly where I reached for them. Some great planning to make them so intuitive. Handles like a sports car on winding roads. First VW since 76, glad I found this great little car.
