But Better Late Than Never
Having been sidelined for a month with a combination of strep throat and a bronchial infection, I may be the last automotive journalist to weigh in on the Volkswagen TDI cheating scandal. But better late than never. Volkswagen's CEO has resigned. Others will no doubt lose their jobs. Owners of the affected cars have been promised their vehicles will be recalled and brought into compliance. In other words, they'll be as clean as the law requires, but most likely slower and less fuel-efficient. The cars affected are the 2009 to 2015 TDI Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Beetle and Audi A3s, and the 2014 to 2015 Passat, all with the 2.0-liter TDI engine. We here at TireKicker have reviewed the 2010 Golf TDI, the 2014 Passat TDI, the 2014 Beetle TDI, the 2015 Audi A3 TDI, the 2015 Golf Sportwagen TDI and the 2015 Golf TDI. While we are disappointed that Volkswagen would stoop to cheating, we remain objective in our evaluation of their products going forward, as we do with every vehicle we review. Some with an appetite for snark may interpret this as going easy on VW. But justice for VW should be and will be focused and far more serious than a couple of cheap shots in a review. We'll be keeping our eyes on the road and bringing you straightforward information you can use.

It wasn't until the Frankfurt Motor Show of last year (2005) that the Eos, as we know it, made its world debut. And, if you're wondering what or who Eos is I can tell you that the name comes from the Greek goddess of the dawn. Not only is the Eos a classy-looking coupe cabriolet, that looks even better with the top down but it is one of the nicest cars I've driven in a while. However, its main selling point is the coupe-cabriolet versatility - especially the roof. While most other coupe-cabriolets feature a three-piece hard top, the Eos has five sections. What's more, the Eos also has an electric, tilting sunroof, which is very unusual and explains the name given to the roof - CSC - coupe, sunroof, convertible. If you think you've seen one coupe convert into a cabriolet, you've seen them all, think again. For sure, pressing the button just beneath the centre armrest makes the roof fold into the boot just like any other but the Eos is different. It takes 25 seconds to complete the operation. The sunroof section slips over the main roof panel and the rear window slides above it, while the roof bars glide serenely into recesses below the shoulder line to be covered by plastic mouldings to maintain the sleek lines. The Eos has a deep rear end and when the boot lid opens to accept the folded roof, it opens from just above the rear number plate, which means more room is needed behind the car than is usual. Just to make sure, the rear parking sensors are a little over-cautious. Nonetheless, the mechanical choreography rivals that of the Vauxhall Astra TwinTop in the show-stopping stakes.
