I got my Eos a few weeks ago and have loved every second we have been together. When I start to put the top down everyone around stops to watch. The comfort and style of the car are just perfect for me. It is by far the best car I have ever had! It makes me sad that winter is comming right around, but on the plus side we get to see how the eso gets by in the snow.

I took ownership of my EOS “LUX” in August ‘08. I find myself finding excuses to drive somewhere. I have gone over this car with a fine tooth comb and have not found one defect. The black dwith light tan interior is a head-turner. Likes? The top of course. Also the sound system. Very good with the top up or down. I love the sound of the car as it eagerly goes on down the highway. Dislikes? Rainy days.

i received my VR6 model at the end of April ‘08. i only test drove the 2.0 and it performed very well, but with the VR6 model, i got all the features i wanted and it seemed more cost effective, the only option i did NOT get, and there were only a few available, was the Navigation, i have my Navigon 7110 and it works with both my older Volvo and this vehicle just fine. it drives well, always turns heads and i live in Germany so i take the top down every chance i get. i wish that all of the settings were synchronized, seat position, mirrors side and rear-view. when you change your seat position inevitably the mirrors need to change too. while it may not be the fastest thing on the road it makes up for it in style. also this model has the AutoStick/paddle shifters which i love to use, it makes me feel like some sort of cave man when i get into other vehicles they seem so primitive. are there better cabrios out there? maybe, but you should definitely test drive this one to be sure you are not missing out. i don’t see many of these autos out there, but i don’t mind. the ability to just have the sunroof open and close it for inclement weather is handy.

I took delivery of my EOS “Lux” model a month ago and haven’t stopped admiring it and showing it off. Who needs the VR6 when the red-ripper 2.0T can get the jump on everything wi th four wheels (and many with two only from a dead stop? I concur with all praise in the review and will not waste space restating it. I have one critical observation: internal (cabin) rattling and tapping when the steeltop is deployed. It’s disturbing on normally bumpy roads and pretty much disappears on expressways. I am told it’s caused largely by roof segments and associated linkages flexing and can be eliminated by keeping rubber seals soft and lubed (with a little gem of an ounce or two of mystery oil for $55 USD!). No problemo. My thunder blue runabout runs about well, thanks very much.
