"CNET jumps gun, misses mark"
Pros: Hardtop convertible, fast, sporty
Cons: None so far
Summary: I'm glad I didn't read this horribly inaccurate review before I bought my EOS yesterday.
First, the car looks great! My wife fell in love with this at first sight. I was blown away to find a hardtop convertible at this price range.
Second, this car is LOADED with features. Reading the owners manual was eye-opening because there are so many features the salesperson didn't cover a fraction of them. This car is more tweaked than a more expensive but comparable Audi or BMW. A convertible with a sunroof? Someone let the engineers at VW loose on this car.
Third, the car hauls ass (I own the 2.0 turbo). The paddle shifters (or sport setting) are a blast. The handling is stiff (maybe too stiff for some), but we couldn't wait to get this on a twisty road.
I never bought a convertible because I didn't want to see the inevitable knife slash in the roof, the EOS gives me a hard-top convertible that is a blast to drive at the price lower than a sedate Euro sedan.

Unbelievable car for the price. Your reviewer needs glasses. My Wife fell in love with it--mainly because she has alway wanted a hard top convertible but the good looking ones were too expensive. I agree with other comments that a hard top prevents the usual knife slash in the roof. We live in the Tropical North of Queensland so this car will be used to its full potential. Did I forget to mention the extras in the car? Well better not start or this comment will take too long.
