2011 VW Eos Review

Volkswagen’s refreshed Eos convertible has finally arrived for the U.S. market. Mirroring the changes previously detailed for the European model, the new U.S.-spec VW Eos features tweaks both inside and out. All VW Eos are equipped with leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel and shift knob.

The latest VW Eos features a 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC turbocharged and intercooler four-cylinder gasoline engine exclusively. The latest VW Eos also features the automatic Direct-Shift Gearbox transmission as standard. This six-speed transmission incorporates an automatic dual-clutch system that instantly engages and disengages gears without the need for a clutch pedal. Unlike any other convertible, the VW Eos features a fully-functional sunroof with shade, allowing an open-air experience when the convertible top is up.

Standard fog lamps now feature integrated cornering lights to heighten safety on all models. Beyond the talented top, the VW Eos provides an enjoyable drive thanks in part to the standard turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 engine. The Mini Cooper?

The 2011 Volkswagen Eos is a front-wheel-drive, two-door hardtop convertible with seating for four. The Lux model adds daytime running lights, power-folding heated outside mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming rearview and drivers outside mirrors, burled walnut cabin accents, leather upholstery, power passenger seat, power front seat lumbar adjustments and an easy-entry function for rear passengers.

Options for the Comfort are few and include ground effects (lower body skirting), a rear lip spoiler and 18-inch wheels. All 2011 Volkswagen Eos models are powered by the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which makes 200 hp and 207 pound-feet of torque. Lux models are available with the dual-clutch automated manual only.

The fuel economy ratings for the 2011 VW Eos with the manual are 21 mpg city/31 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined.
Standard on all VW Eos models are antilock disc brakes, stability control and front seat side airbags.

In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash testing, the 2011 VW Eos earned the top rating of "Good" for both frontal-offset and side-impact tests.

The chief attraction of the VW Eos is its five-piece retractable hardtop. The 2011 Volkswagen Eos is designed for those who want a relaxed touring convertible. Both transmissions are nicely executed, but we suspect the typical VW Eos buyer will be happier with the automated manual. As expected, the retractable hardtop provides coupe like isolation when the weather prevents top-down motoring.

The 2011 Eos is Volkswagen’s inexpensive alternative to the BMW 3-series convertible or the Lexus IS convertible. It’s possible that you’ve never heard of the VW Eos, Volkswagen’s midsize convertible. Ford Mustang? Mini Cooper? The 2011 Volkswagen Eos isn’t cheap; the base model starts at $32,940. If you can afford a more expensive car, try convertibles like the BMW 3-Series and the Lexus IS. The BMW 1-Series convertible also falls in this category, but it’s smaller and less expensive. The base price is $34,500.

It’s not a luxury convertible like the VW Eos, but its standard V6 engine pumps out 300 horsepower. The Mustang Convertible won’t get more than 19/30 mpg city/highway. Another sporty but small option is the Mini Cooper Convertible.
