2008 Volkswagen Eos Features Review

May 30, 2008

FEATURES | 9 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

Interesting features include an adjustable, cooled glove box
Kelley Blue Book

Greater refinement and luxury than similarly priced rivals
Edmunds

Folding top...is a marvel of metallic origami
Popular Mechanics

Like many of the company’s cars, the 2008 Volkswagen Eos comes loaded with more features than you would find on its chief rivals, and it offers a decent list of optional equipment.

The most widely recognized feature on the 2008 Volkswagen Eos is unquestionably its retractable hardtop, which Popular Mechanics describes as "a marvel of metallic origami." Also included in that folding top is a sunroof function, wherein one panel retracts, leaving the rest of the hardtop raised. It’s a welcome feature for those sunny days when it's a bit too cold to take the top down. Kelley Blue Book points out the “cooled glove box,” which helps protect valuables like phones, PDAs, and chocolate from the sun on warm days.

The interior of the 2008 Volkswagen Eos offers occupants many sought-after features, such as heated front seats in the top-level trims and leather upholstery standard on the V-6 version. Forbes Autos also mentions that "options include a premium sound system, DVD navigation...Park Distance Control proximity warnings, and adaptive headlamps." Those headlamps also serve as a great safety feature at night on twisting roads, as they swivel in the direction of a turn to provide additional illumination where you need it most.

A navigation system is also offered on the Eos; Volkswagen also offers satellite radio.

Conclusion

The 2008 Volkswagen Eos has an extensive list of standard and optional features.

Other Choices:

The 2008 Volkswagen Eos and its well-executed convertible top have made it a primo choice for the editors of Consumer Reports as well as the editors at TheCarConnection.com. Other four-seat convertibles like the Pontiac G6 and Chrysler Sebring offer folding hardtops, but their fit and finish fall far below the standard set by the Eos. The Volvo C70 is more tightly and handsomely built, but its high-strung turbo engines aren't as relaxed as the Eos. The four-seat Toyota Camry Solara convertible has a fabric roof and a creamy ride, but handling suffers.
