Having been plagued with problems with our 56plate EOS-the dealer has finally agreed to replace the car with a brand new one. HOWEVER they are pushing me to go for a different car altogether....(something that I am very reluctant to do, being as the EOS is such a nice car, well one that works anyway)...

What other VW would you go for? Suggestions would be great.
(...I have a VW Tiguan already)

Knock on wood, I have had NO problems with my 2008 Eos Lux 2.0T in the past almost 11 months of ownership. As you know it is fun to drive and NOTHING else has the combination sunroof and convertible option. I think I'd get another Eos if I were you. If and Eos is out of the question, the Passat CC sure looks nice. Good luck!

This can really only mean one of two things:

The dealer has no faith in the Eos as a model range and will avoid selling them to any prospective buyer

or

The dealer thinks you are an unreasonable person and wants you to have something as uncomplicated as possible so you will have less to potentially complain about.

GET ANOTHER EOS

The Eos is the only way to go mate cos they my have to foot some of the bill.

I have a 2007 EOS and it's fine... The new ones can only be an improvement!

 

[The Baron]

Yea, I'd go for that. Test drove the new scirroco, loved it, but.....it's not a convertible coupe. If I was going for a new one, I'd go Eos with the DSG gearbox

 

[sunscreemer]

If i was to get another VW aside from the Eos i'd probably go for a Scirocco or a Tiguan. But having said that i'd REALLY miss a convertible, as is why i only had a Focus ST for a little over a year before chopping it for an Eos!

where do you live?
whats the weather like?
how often do you get to drop the roof?
if its the uk then the answer is probably 'not a lot' so i would question another eos
saying that it still looks great with the roof up and probably still more desirable than a scirocco which in comparism is cramped and has a small boot
if you need space the tiguan is nice but a totally different drive
passat cc is huge
i would however seriously consider the new golf gti 5 dr when it arrives early next year

thanks guys for your messages and advise.... let me try and reply to everyones suggestions.

Darren - the passat cc is a nice car, a little too large for what i need...however my gut feeling is that its a poor mans bmw 6-series. (sorry to those of you who may have one).

geoffa1 - I totally agree on both points!! The boss even said he didnt like his eos at the surprise of both the salesman and myself!!

SiJ2000 - I agree, you would hope the new eos' are better. maybe it was a mistake on my part to go for it as soon as it came out...

The Baron - Again agree - its not a convertible, and I think I'd miss putting the roof down.

sunscreemer - got a Tiguan already (for the dog!) and love it!

pacemaker1000 - uk, weathers not great, but when you can the roof goes down. mk6 golf isnt an eos (if you know what I mean, its only a golf, and how many of those will be around....) I think the dealer wants to sort this out asap, hence would not be prepared to wait until 2009.

thanks again for all your help...i think EOS it is!!
