For The Eos is brilliant to drive, with exceptional ride, handling and refinement. It seats four, has a classy, comfortable cabin and will hold its value incredibly well.
Against Prices for higher-spec models are high. Folding the roof dramatically reduces the boot space.
Smart-looking, great-driving cabrio with top-drawer refinement and build. Expensive, but well worth it.
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 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.
