What does it cost?
For SE trim makes the Eos easy to park thanks to rear parking sensors, while headlight washers and electric folding mirrors are also standard. The diesel engine is strong and economical.
Against Choosing diesel means paying a premium of more than £1,500 over the petrol SE. There are few faults, but as with all Eos models, there’s not much luggage space with the hood down.
What Car? says
Not quite as smooth or as refined as the 1.4-litre petrol and more expensive to boot. But, if you value high mpg then this fuel-efficient Eos is most definitely worth a look.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Folding steel-roofed cabriolets are no longer a new idea and Volkswagen wasn’t one of the first to introduce it, but the Golf-based VW Eos is certainly one of the best, featuring an electric sunroof built into its retractable roof.
Rival cars from Peugeot and Renault can’t match the Eos’ image or all-round abilities and the Eos is better to drive than the closely related Audi A3 Cabriolet.
While VW has got it right, it doesn’t sell its wares cheap. Top-spec versions stray over the £30,000 barrier, which is a lot for what is, in essence, a Golf with a fancy roof.
Stick with the cheaper versions – which are anything but short of kit or power – and you can’t really go wrong. Whichever version you choose, residual values will be impressively high; a reflection of the Eos’ class and appeal.

Volkswagen Eos CC 1.4 TSI 122 Bluemotion Tech SE 2dr
This cheapest Eos is still far from cheap. However, its resale values are among the best of the range, so as long as you’re happy with the moderate performance, it’s a sound investment.
