Good and Bad points of the Eos

I really don't have too many negatives. I think the paint and glass may be to soft in that flying grit seems to leave marks. The glove box and console box could have more space. it would have been nice if bluetooth would have been built in so the button in the sterring wheel would serve as something other than decoration. The interface is now available here through VW but is more than $300 USD uninstalled, On the other hand the car is a blast to drive. The engine generates sufficient power to create a wheelspin issue.What can I say about that top! A great pleasure when it is down and I can still put stuff in the trunk. When I can't put the top down, there is the sunroof to let in light so the interior feels airy. Fuel mileage is better than I expected. The DynAudio option has lived up to most of the hype although it could have used some midrange speakers in the rear. Handling and ride with the Sport package has been better than I expected. My biggest gripe lies with VW and how they package the car. In the US we weren't permitted to order the Xenon lights lights unless we ordered the 3.2. The option package/ model lineup changed between the 07 and 08 models and is to change again for the 09 models. The 3.2 disappears but we may now be able to get Xenons as an option. I love my Eos but not so much VW and their bizarre logic.

Good and Bad points of the Eos (3)

Good points:

1. I am getting used to its looks - it grows on you.
2. The standard radio is quite good with many features including gala -music becomes louder when car speeds up.
3. Wind in the hair and safety of a hardtop are great.

Bad points:

1. I can't program the radio stations on the steering wheel audio control. Help....
2. I think there is a rattle at the back somewhere (when roof is up); cannot pinpoint where yet.

I have had the Eos for about 2 weeks now.

LIKES
DSG and the sport option-even though I like to shift-it flys if you use sport and the gas pedal
style-I thought it was a little bland, but I think it will hold it looks and not get dated so easily
trunk space with top down-there is still some(can't have it all-it just kills me that some reviewers knock it because of lack of trunk space with the top down)
the top
the sun roof
fuel mileage we got 35 mpg on a 500 mile trip once -easily get 32 and 33
It fits-I'm about 6'3" and many cars that have a sun roof have no head room, it also has ample leg room-many sports cars are too small
It is comfortable
Telescopic wheel
DISLIKES
transmission allows rollback
the paint is very easy to scratchI think some laid a jacket on the hood and it slid down, the zipper scratched the paint in many places, just the weight of a very light windbreaker
