VW EOS – A NEW DAY HAS DAWNED

VW EOS

Yes. A revolution of sorts in the sports car segment where you get a great car with sustain cowl, no leakage in the rainy season and the works- all below $30,000.

And the name fits too- VW has come out with its latest creation in the sports car segment with Eos- the goddess of dawn.

Eos is probably one of the best buys in its segment, it being a hard top convertible and all. This four seater (it actually does seat four!) comes in a range of colors and a variety of options. The best part is the duality of the car, i.e. when you want a convertible, you get exactly that with the top down and the whole car gliding through the air. When you are not in the mood for that, you push a button and you have a great, quiet and compact four seater. Is that amazing of what?

It has a 2.0 liter four cylinder engine which is turbocharged. This, along with a 6 speed manual transmission. The acceleration is meant to be ruled and the suspension provides excellent control of the vehicle.

Talking about the interiors, it comes with a variety of options like cloth or leather upholstery, or wood or metal trims- depending on your choice. The interiors are all smooth and clear- a VW specialty.

So what do we have to say? A great car with a great price and an amazing body- totally worth it and some more. Makes you feel like you are in the company of a true goddess.
