Hi All

Looking for a convertible in this price range. Is there anything besides the Eos and the Holden Twintop?

Is this car as much a man’s car as a woman’s – styling etc as I have not yet seen one in person but keen to buy a cabrio before spring !

Thanks !

I am an Eos owner and find that it is a great car to drive with exceptional and eye catching styling. One problem I have encountered, however, is that the front seat belts develop a twist. I have returned my vehicle to have this rectified on 5 occasions as it is practically impossible to easily untwist without removing the inside trim. I have reason to believe this is not an uncommon fault that Volkswagen at this stage are reluctant to concede is a design or engineering problem. Rather a shame as this reduces the driving and ownership
pleasure. I wonder if many others are experiencing this problem?

Denlo & Chatswood Classic are the same company. All the best to you, Mani.
Tonyn, I don’t agree with you. End up my Eos was handed back to the dealer for more than a week (just to fix the roof). They need a guy from Audi to fix it.
Luke, the dash in the Eos looks almost identical to Golf.

The Eos on the road is a good looking car for VW, as opposed to the rest of their bland range. Even the dash looks more interesting than the ustere offerings in the Golf and Passat.

a better VW you will not find, i have worked for volkswagen for 5 years, just changed brands, and love the EOS, you will love it.

VW sorted all the roof probs before they come out here

what’s this about the roof shaking????

i’ve just ordered a car for my wife after seeing it at a motor show and i couldn’t even test drive it as the dealerships in my city have none???

i seriously hope i don’t get a lemon or else i’ve just been duped.

can anyone out there let me know if this has been a common dilemma.

Hi Peter,

When are you going to take the delivery of your new car? I wish all the best with your new Eos.

My car is still in the workshop. It seems like no one can fix the roof in Australia.

I have ordred an eos in February after seeing the car for the first time at the Sydney motor show. After reading the comments in various articles it seems that the eos could be destined for a semi cult staus in years to come – what do you think?

I agree it’s a good car and I have bought one already. Unfortunately, I need to bring the car back to the work shop on the 2nd May because the whole roof is rattling.

Quality and refinement seem to vary on individual cars.

PS. OMG.. I still have’t got my car back yet

Hi Rick :),

The Eos actually has Passat rear suspension and Golf front suspension, so it actually is an all new platform that fits between the two mentioned above.

Read this thread it describes the Eos platform in more detail http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2244583

“that the Eos isn’t simply a Golf with its roof chopped off. The Eos was developed from the ground up as a convertible,”
get off the grass.

IT IS simply a Golf with its roof chopped off.
the development might have been from the door handles up but even they’re the same as on a Golf.

A convertible sunroof is good for style. This Volkswagen Eos has a captivating design owing to its convertible sunroof. Aside from this, it also has excellent features.
