Interior When the top is dropped, the world is your interior, which will make it easier to forget about the bland Cornsilk Beige leather and focus on the Eos’ special features. Direct your attention to the center console, where you have access to a navigation system and the coupe-sunroof-
convertible switches.
Exterior There’s nothing fancy about the Eos, until you retract the top, but round lights, little 16-inch alloy wheels, a chrome grille, color-matched bumpers and door handles are all quite filling. And for desert, snack on big Volkswagen badges, front and back.
Floss Factor It’s tempting to go
topless, so just do it (without embarrassment!) so heads can enjoy the
(retractable) show. Climatronic electronic climate control automatically adjusts when you’re cruising topless.
Flaw Factor Although the Eos has EDL, ASR and ESP, mashing the gas will have front tires shuddering, so be cautious. And don’t expect to go too far, too fast. Spend an extra few thousand and cop for the 3.2L V6 for 50 more horses.
Extra Extra Dubbed after an ancient Greek Goddess, the Eos is a modern day classic. Since, it’s easy on gas, you’ll forget that you’re a mortal and attempt to drive the CSC from dusk ’til dawn. rachelle gauthier
