It's hard to ignore VW's nearly comical overstatement when it comes to styling; the car's name, Eos, compares it to the Greek goddess of dawn. It's nice, but it's not that nice. ForbesAutos appreciates that the 2009 Eos "comes with a less-intrusive windshield pillar design that...

Other Choices:

The Volvo C70 is tighter and more handsomely built than the Eos, but its high-strung turbo engines aren't as relaxed. The Saab 9-3 is also another good, practical choice—with an especially roomy trunk—and due to its soft top, its top-up driving experience includes a bit more road noise. 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.

    on 5/5/09 purchased new EOS and found leaks which were repaired 3 times. Last repair was told that i could not take car through car wash. When i asked if there was a disclaimer regarding this in owners manual (i can't find one) nor was i told by dealership this car has to be handwashed i would not have bought it. previously had mercedes slk 230 which has same retractable parts and it never leaked. was told by dealer ship my problem. have since contacted headquarters for VW and hope they will resolve. love the car love the performance hate taking a shower to get car cleaned so for this reason WILL never recommend this car - this is my first experience with VW
