Expert 2010 Volkswagen Eos review

our expert's take
Our expert's take
By Cars.com editors
Full article
our expert's take

Vehicle Overview
The Eos is a four-seat hardtop convertible, and it occupies a small niche in the car market. It’s sold in Komfort and Lux trim levels.

New for 2010
Both models get a new leather-wrapped steering wheel (with standard multifunction controls) and instrument cluster, standard Bluetooth and a touch-screen Premium VIII radio.

Exterior
The Eos has a clean, sporty look with design cues similar to those on the Jetta. VW says the power hardtop’s operation takes about 25 seconds.

  • Available 16-, 17- or 18-inch wheels
  • Standard daytime running lights
  • Standard power heated mirrors with integrated turn signals
  • Standard heated washer fluid
  • Optional xenon headlights
  • Optional adaptive headlights that swivel in the direction of turns
  • Optional automatic wipers

Interior
The Eos offers VW’s storied interior design and materials. A relatively low windshield grants an exceptional open-air feeling, even for front occupants. The power front seats are designed to motor forward to enable backseat access and then return to their original position.

Typical of retractable hardtops, the Eos loses trunk capacity when the top is down, but it has a pass-through to the cabin, which remains a rare feature in convertibles.

  • Available simulated leather and leather upholstery
  • Standard leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Standard heated seats
  • Standard power windows and locks
  • Standard Bluetooth
  • Optional 600-watt 10-speaker audio system
  • Optional navigation unit
  • Multimedia interface now a standalone option

Under the Hood
The Eos uses the same turbocharged engine as several other VW and Audi models.

  • 200-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder with 207 pounds-feet of torque
  • Six-speed manual or automatic transmission
  • Front-wheel drive

Safety
Side-impact airbags in the Eos deploy from the front seats and are designed to protect occupants’ heads in the absence of roof-mounted side curtain airbags, which can’t be installed in a convertible’s roof.

  • Standard side-impact airbags
  • Standard rollover protection system
  • Standard antilock braking system and traction control
  • Standard electronic stability control
  • Standard alarm system
  • Optional rear parking sensors

  • Not a good car to own

    This car when the seals wear down it leaks and the dealership know this and try to rip people off for thousands of dollars and all they have to do is apply a liquid to fix the seal.

  • Fun & versatile! Huge trunk for this class of car

    We have driven this car from NJ to FL numerous times, and it is such a comfortable ride. With straight highway driving, we average 35+ mpg. The amount of room in the trunk is incredible... even with the top down! We can fit a full size suitcase and a carry-on in the trunk with the top down (and even more with the top up!). It has more trunk space than soft top convertibles.

    Small issues I’ve noticed is the headlight bulbs blow every 3 years. Some leakage when it rains. A cheap problem to fix. Great gas mileage.

  • Disappointed

    I bought this 2010 EOS a year ago with 89,000 miles on it and since then this car has had multiple issues. The water tank cracked on two separate occasions, the engine had problems that I fixed and now the engine is completely dead and I need to buy a new car after only having this car for a year. I am very disappointed in this particular car.

  • Fun weekend car

    This car had less than 60k miles, and was well taken care of. It is such a fun little car to drive in the winter or the summer. However; I have had numerous problems. E-vap leaks, bad ball bearings (2), bad cylinder coils, and now the transmission is going out. Time to get rid of this money pit.

  • Peppy, fuel efficient and stylish.

    Great road trip car. Top up or down or if it's a bit cold you can have the panoramic sunroof open instead. Awesome stereo for listening to music while cruising with the top down. Excellent handling with plenty of oomph for passing and getting around.

    The EOS is a great car, hope VW brings in back. Fun to drive and reliable. The convertible works good too. No problems ever with the car. Looking for a convertible, I recommend this one.

  • 2010 VW Eos- A Sweet Ride!

    I've taken great care of this VW! This is a great combo platter of fun and practicality. You have the hard convertible roof that makes you move from sensible to sassy in seconds. It's very reliable and has been to it's scheduled maintenance appointments to ensure that it's in tip top condition. It's made my daily commute so much fun!

  • Terrific Purchase!

    Knew I wanted this car, since it's introduction in 2006. I had a 2001 Mercury Cougar, that I had owned 10 years, and was looking for a step up in style, but just as reliable. I did all the Web research, and decided a 2010, would be the best value. Have owned car only 3 weeks, but I am totally thrilled with appearance (dropping hard top is still impressive to all get sight of it), handling and "standard" features. Bluetooth, 16 in wheels, ipod connection. Car handles very smooth and so far, as long as I keep tank half full between fill ups premium price, not so bad.
