Volkswagen Eos 2006- 2011 ** the ULTIMATE review

Volkswagen may have been late to the coupe-convertible party but the car they eventually developed, the Eos, is one of the very best of its type. It's not cheap and used examples are in strong demand. With no weak models in the line up and strong reliability, it's hard to go wrong.
These days when Volkswagen sets out to develop a new car, they don't tend to cut corners. Aware that they charge a premium price for their wares, a certain level of superior perceived quality needs to be built in and the Eos coupe-convertible was no exception. Ostensibly a Golf convertible for a more demanding age, the Eos combined good looks and a decent drive, racking up very respectable sales. Here's what to look for when searching for a used example.

I just stumbled upon an Eos for sale. I’m very tempted to buy it. It seems like great value for money. I just love the retractable roof, and how odd it works. Also mad respect to vw for putting a friggin sunroof in the retractable roof. Also, I’m a bit of a petrolhead, so with it being with the common 2,0tfsi combined with the lovely DSG just makes me drool! Thx for the review!

I have the two litre diesel eos and I’d say go for it! Best car I’ve ever owned n no faults. Petrol 2 litre sounds amazing to drive but I do a lot of motorway driving and a convertible with more technology than I could ever use and gets 54 to the gallon is just insane

We found a 2014 Eos Sport with 9,674 original miles on it in February on 2023. It had set for sometime and needed tires, brake rotors, fuel system and brake system flushes, spark plugs and the like. I now have 37,000 plus miles on the car. It is my everyday drive, covering approximately 100 miles a day, 5 days a week. I love how it handles, not quite as nimble as my Beetles, but a blast to drive. I would suggest that the prescribed maintenance schedules be followed as closely as possible, as is done by me. I'm hoping that I don't have to replace this car anytime soon. And as I said, I love it.

I have a 2012 2.0 DSG turbodiesel version: I absolutely love it. 50+ mpg, 135mph, full leather and all the toys - the 6 speed DSG gearbox makes it quiet, fast and efficient. Grab one while they are still findable in good nick…….

Thanks for this, just got a VW EOS and was wondering about the safety, as well as other features.

I've owned my 2.0l sport for 16 years and won't sell it. It is the MK1 version and is a far more elegant design than the bodged corporate makeover that the MK2 was forced to have. Not without it's issues but is a far better choice than the ubiquitous 3 series. And so much more fun.

Bring a bag of money, it's a German car so when it breaks it'll also break the bank!

@bryanbetancur6922 5 ай бұрын

Actually I started looking at the parts and they aren’t expensive

@austinforbes4259 2 ай бұрын

It definitely costs more than your average economy car but it doesn't cost as much as a bmw or a Mercedes. It's not unreasonable

@PlaAwa 21 күн бұрын

Probably the least appealing of cc's. Can cop a Peugeot for a half to a third the price and not worry so much about reliability, maintenance and expensive repairs. The volvo is also very desirable

It's a sluggish transformer orphan. There are better convertable European options in the used car market

@user-vx2qg5ob6m 7 ай бұрын

Like what?

@El_ae_Ron 6 ай бұрын

Do you have any ? That’s still around this price range , for reference these sell for 8k for 100k miles while being a HARD TOP convertible

@donnasingleton6320 6 ай бұрын

Any convertable that's not a transformer. Soft top BMW's, soft top VW cabriolets, SAABs, Toyota Solaris, Audi A5, Mazda MX5, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro. I personally have an '75 MGB. Basically a no frills convertable. I'm sure you can find one in the UK as easily as I did in the USA. It's only the second convertable I've ever owned, the first being a Chrysler LeBaron, which I don't recommend either.

@donnasingleton6320 6 ай бұрын

@El_ae_Ron 2011 Chrysler 200, BMW 3 Series, Volvo C70 have hard tops, so do some Mecedes. If you drive tested the VW EOS and liked it, go for it, buy it. It is a good looking car, it just doesn't perform as well as their other models. Good luck on your search

Unreliable, roof will leak and break. Water will leak into the boot. Areas around the mirrors will rust and flake. Practicality is poor. Maintenance and parts are expensive. The windows always have to go up the last few cm to push up into the seals too and this motor will have problems and is expensive to fix. Used German cars are just never a good idea.

Do you have ownership experience to prove this?
