"Well, it has been a little over a year since I picked up my 2012 Eos Executive. I can't be happier. No issues at all. The top has worked flawlessly every time (for those that are concerned). The car is comfortable, gets great gas mileage, looks great with the top up or down. Love the LED DRL on the Exec model - they always get looks - as well as putting the top up or down. iPod/iPhone integration, Sirius Radio, HD FM, SD card, and built-in hard drive gives me more music choices in my car than at home. The seats are extremely comfortable (highly adjustable). Some complain about the truck space. I can get 2 normal suitcases (not the huge ones) in there no problem. Yeah, you can't lower the top while they are in there but heck - your going to the airport! Also got the really big suitcase in there with room for a duffle bag or computer bag. No, it's not a 5 body trunk but, there's room. It works. I previously owned a Miata for years. It was relegated to my "occasional drive only in good weather" car. Not the EOS. It's my everyday car winter or summer. Compared to the other choices in the hard top convertible market, this is the one for me. There are a few cheaper and several more expensive models out there. This fits nicely in the middle. Lots of features, good looks, and not too expensive."

"I love my Eos. I just purchased it a couple of weeks ago, so I cannot speak about the reliability very much - but the look and feel is amazing. I couldn't be happier with my new car. Definitely a smart buy. I would do it again!"

"Covertible with a sunroof- the best of both worlds. Just got rid of an electronically challenged Volvo C70 and now in a car that is electronics on steroids. And, great mileage. The design could be a little more exciting but, so far, it's a great car."

"This is my second EOS in two years. I loved my first EOS a 2010 model and only traded it for my 2012 model because I wanted a red one. This car is really fun to drive and I notice a lot of people looking at it. It performs really well and is not bad on gas."

"A great car -- after three minivans and an SUV, this car rocks! It is fun to drive, handles well in snow and slush, and gets lots of looks when the top is down. With the hard top up, it is quiet on the highway; in fact, quieter than the Toyota Highlander that we own. If you want lots of space, buy something else, but if you want lots of fun, go for the Eos."

"Just two weeks ago, I leased a 2012 Eos Komfort and I love the car! It's very upscale, but for a great price. Pros: Great engine with lots of power for a 4 cyl., great automatic convertible top and sunroof that works seamlessly, standard SAT radio and 6 CD player are phenomenal, and fantastic new design. It really looks good, and gets lots of stares as I'm driving--even with the top up. There are too many pros to list here. Cons: Only three: First, on the Komfort, there's no garage door opener on the visor, which I didn't think about until I went home and couldn't get in the house, so I'd recommend the Lux just for that purpose. Second: Small-ish wheels. I prefer the bigger wheels like on the Lux and the Executive, but wheels are a personal thing, so I was told by the salesman that I can get them later. This, of course, is minor. Third: The hard convertible top leaks a little ONLY when I take the car through a high-speed drive-thru car wash--just one drip over each side rear window. The good thing is the way the back interior is designed, the water drains right out, and it does not get on the seats. Granted, it's a high-pressure car wash, so it's totally my fault. The good thing is the car does NOT leak anywhere when it rains. It's perfectly dry on rainy days. I think I may have to start washing the car in my driveway instead. But that's it. Buy an Eos, you will love it!"
