For This 2.0-litre turbo makes the Eos great fun to drive. Sport suspension sharpens the handling, but even with it fitted, the ride remains good.

Against Insurance premiums are expensive. Lowering the hood restricts boot space, and with the roof raised there is some wind noise to contend with at speed.

4 out of 5 stars

The 2.0 TSI Sport is our one of our favourite Eos models and has the speed and handling to give this version a genuine sporting drive. It's expensive, but strong resale values make it a sound investment.

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.
