Hi, thought I would introduce myself. I owned a 307CC for a while but had so many problems with it I sold it and bought a bog standard 207. Boy have I been bored with that! So, my OH took me to VW showroom last week and we have ordered an Eos. I have gone for 2.0 in Midnight blue with black leather. Can't wait, should be collecting it a week on Friday.

Have only spotted one on the road and that was today in Haydock, St Helens.

Welcome to the forum - you're gonna have lots of fun with your EOS
Pretty snappy delivery time which takes the waiting out of wanting !

Welcome to the club. Did you get the straight 2.0l or the turbo version?
I am very surprised at your delivery date as well, most people in the UK have to wait quite a few weeks normally.
Cheers

Hi JWB and Welcome!

Everyone seems to be really pleased when they spot another EOS locally....I always feel a bit disappointed because I want to be one of the select few

I've seen a few round my way recently

~x~

 

[JWB]

Thanks for all the welcomes! Will look out for you Stephb, I live in Haydock but about to move to Leigh. Great number plate by the way!

I have bought the straight 2.0 version and I too was surprised at how fast they could get it to me. I think they are pulling out the stops so that they can register it before the end of the month. I can't wait, having had the 307cabriolet before I know exactly what it is like to own one, but this time I know it is going to better, plus there is certainly more room in the back for the children. I haven't had exact pick up day next week but will keep you informed.

 

[Stephb]

well you should spot me im out and about a bit and drive past leigh when going my fellas on a friday. im also out and about in haydock in my van on a thursday so if i spot you and flash and wave im not loony or a mentalist its just my car is at home lol

Is it petrol or diesel as i have the diesel and when the turbo kicks in it doesnt half move! are you getting it from vw wigan or warrington???

Dont get excited over the free flowers they die after a day or two and are only about 5 quids worth

Im thinking we should get car stickers with the website address so that when other eos's spot us they can join and say hi

[JWB]

It is a petrol. What free flowers?

I am moving to a brand new house on the Sports Village in Leigh!

 

[JWB]

Sorry, meant to say Warrington.

 

[JWB]

Steph - which website did you get your number plate from? I am having a look now but there seems to be loads. I quite fancy something with EOS on it.

 

[Stephb]

your supposed to get free flowers with your car not worth having though!

not sure how fast the 2.0 petrol is though sorry lol.

ah yeah just on the atherleigh way? i know where your on about well if you need your ironing doing give me a shout

I got my number plate off the DVLA website it cost me £400 if thats any help

[Stephb]

Found MR08 EOS for £799 i thought that looked quite good!

mines still the best though lol! my cars name is snobbers now

Happy New EOS when you get it, I think you will see a big difference to the 307CC, much better to drive and the feel is altogether much better. I noticed that the Eos has just been voted "open top of the year " again by What Car. Does give you a real feel good factor when you drive one. Enjoy it

 

[Stephb]

sorry i just have to say this i just seen a ex at the petrol station when i was filling up he really did the dirty on me and he seen me in my lovely car he was soooo gutted im so chuffed at that i nearly wet myself

[JWB]

Had a call from the garage today - it is ready, I am picking it up tomorrow!

I can't wait!

 

[Stephb]

yay! thats dead good news well tonight ive been out and about in haydock spotted a blue one known about him for ages on ashbury drive and then i was driving over the m6 going back into ashton on liverpool rd and a silver one came past with a lady driver heading into haydock didnt get chance to wave though.

I will be poping into costco tomorrow so i might see you and i'll be in snobbers hopefully. Print off the handover sheet i found that really helpful.

hope to see you soon and your happy with your car

[JWB]

Thanks Steph, will look out for you!

 

[JWB]

Well, had the EOS a while now and have had the roof down whenever possible, I love my car!!

It is so much nicer to drive than the Peugeot 307CC - I am very happy with it and have to say it is worth every penny!
