Volkswagen Eos Buying Guide
I鈥檝e had one for one month,LOVE IT! I鈥檝e dreamed about for forty years, brilliant. I bought a new fully loaded (new car so only fully optioned vehicles available, which suited me) VW Eos in 2006 and its been great. Being a retired car salesman ( I prefer to be known as a closer as cars sell themselves) I made a fuss (contact MD and all that) finally had it fixed. Ever since it has been great. I hear of other owners having problems, like the roof leaking (with the top up !!) but mines been fine. Dislikes - none really. Advice - tyres, mine had Bridgestone Portenza which were so noisy my local garage thought the wheel bearings were shot! When news ones were needed I went for Uniroyals which transform the car, now being much quieter. Options on mine inc napa leather seats - steering wheel with controls - that all important rear wind deflector -18 inch wheels (not necessary!!) - and the best of all electric seats .
The worst thing about the car - rubbish dealership / useless salesmen - in over 6 years no one has contacted me about changing it. You like your new car? 鈥? Great car - crap dealer and rubbish customer care. Scuttle shake is common in many convertibles and not usually a sign that anything is wrong with your car. If it is pronounced or wasn鈥檛 there before, it is worth getting checked out. Otherwise it is just a characteristic of the car and nothing to worry about. I鈥檝e owned an Eos from new for the last five years, LOVE IT. Now considering replacing it with another Eos! I鈥檝e had no issues whatsoever with the car. I am considering buying a 2013 Volkswagon Eos Komfort but am a little worried about the few comments from people regarding the roof breaking and / or leaking. Have you heard of many of these types of problems? Would I be better getting a BMW 1 series 2013 model or a used BMW 3 series model? I have a vw eos and no problems whatsoever apart from the navigation system that needs update (still working but rather slow and maps outdated).
Mine still comes with the 1.6 engine which is suitable for a car of this type - silent, responsive at mid revs - but not really fast. The new 2.0 engine is quite a good choice with the DSG. IF you prefer manual the 1.4 TSI Is an excellent alternative. From the alternatives mentioned by Trish only the 3 series is really comparable to the EOS. Auto in Jan 2012, it was three months old. The car has been faultless in the three and a half years of ownership. I love the design and the colour. I鈥檓 going for my 1st convertible and not sure whether to get an EOS, Audi A3 or BMW? Can anyone help, the more I read the more confused I鈥檓 getting! I鈥檝e more or less stuck to Ford in 15 years of driving, thanks. Your email address will not be published.
