One of the first things is the roof. Most convertibles have the soft top roofs that over time are going to rip and become an eye sore. Not to mention the fact that they not known as the best things to have when the weather turns bad. The Eos is much different as it has a hard top that is retractable. Something that the competitors would be wise to look into for their own convertibles since this is something that people are loving about the car. And with a push of a button the roof can drop and disappear just like a soft top would on a regular convertible.

Another feature that people are looking is the amount of power that they get with the car. Every trim level of the Eos is coming with a four cylinder, turbo charged engine that delivers around 200 horsepower. And thus far, the numbers on just have fast the Eos can go from zero to sixty is around seven seconds, which may not compare with muscle cars on the market, but with a four cylinder engine that is a great time. Add into the fact that the gas mileage is impressive, with the car getting around twenty-five miles per gallon combined, people see that there are tons of reasons to buy this car.

With that being said, there are a few things that people are quick to point out should be something that VW look about fixing. The first is the fact that the backseat is rather small. Though, anyone that has ridden in a convertible before usually know that the back seat is not really meant for those long road trips since the roof does take up some room when being lowered. Other people point out that the car could be faster to drive which would encourage some people to buy it. However, in regard to speed, the Eos is meant to be more of the luxury types of convertibles that are on the market. Thus, people that want this car are wanting something that they can drive without feeling as though they are cramped and are riding in something that feels every bump in the road.

One thing is for certain, the Eos should be on the list of cars for people to consider when they are wanting a luxury convertible that is not going to make them pay for luxury prices.
