The retractible hardtop convertible was built on the Golf platform.
While the front remained pretty much the same as the original’s, at the rear, the EOS featured new LED taillights.
The roof folded easily with the push of a button, and what’s more unique, for bad weather conditions, a full panoramic sunroof was also included.
The trunk was a decent size, even with the roof down.
Although the EOS was one of the least expensive hardtop convertible, its starting price was at around $39,000. The base model did not have a steering-wheel mounted-controls.
The interior was built with good quality materials. A new trim with specific details for the dashboard the doors, the "Matt Chrome" was standard.
The EOS was not available with a manual transmission, but with an automatically controlled manual transmission, a DSG gearbox.
The engine mounted on the EOS was a 2.0-liter turbocharged power plant that developed 200 hp.
Besides great power, the EOS offered increased comfort and performance.
With the stiffer suspension, the car didn’t feel that great over bumps, having a little body shake.
Surprinsingly, even at motorway speeds, the EOS had a quiet cabin with the roof up.
Compared to the more expensive rivals such as the Mazda MX5 and the Chrysler 200, the EOS offered good value and seating for four.
