2007 Volkswagen Eos Review
Volkswagen introduces a new 4-passenger convertible for 2007 with a power retractable hardtop that includes an integral sunroof. Based on the Jetta/Passat sedan architecture, the Eos shares the Jetta's wheelbase but is almost 6 inches shorter, has two doors, and weighs almost 300 lb more. Eos is offered in base, 2.0T, and 3.2 L models. Base and 2.0T have a turbocharged 200-hp 4-cyl, the 3.2 L a 250-hp V6. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard for the 4-cyl and a 6-speed sequential manual transmission (SMT) is optional. The SMT is the only transmission offered with the 3.2. ABS, traction/antiskid control, and front side airbags are standard. Also standard are automatic rollover bars designed to deploy from behind the rear seats in the event of a tip or collision. The available Luxury and Sport Packages add leather upholstery, upgraded trim, and larger wheels and tires; the Sport Packages include a firmer suspension. A navigation system and rear obstacle detection are also offered.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Offering more power and style than typical Sporty/Performance vehicles, Premium Sporty/Performance Cars usually cost much more and have more comfort and convenience equipment. Two-passenger convertibles and four-seat coupes rule the roost in this class.

Our Best Buys are the BMW Z4 and Chevrolet Corvette. Our Recommended picks are the Jaguar XK Series and Porsche Boxster, and Porsche Cayman.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Jaguar XK Series and Volkswagen Eos.
News
The V6 model, known as the 3.2L, was not made available immediately. Only the base Eos and 2.0T were offered during its September release. VW said it planned to have 3.2L models in dealers by the end of 2006. The 3.2 V6 was last seen in the 2005 GTI R32.
