Just wondering. Did any of you who bought the G6 consider the VW EOS? If not why not? I've looked at both and am leaning toward the EOS based on trunk room and other factors. TIA

G6- Also great get up and go. Very solid and more of a cadillac ride. Glides over the bumps! Hard choice, both have great looks, thow differnt. Really depends on what you want out of a vechicle. Although I know German engineering is great, I'm a bit concerned about having a turbo. Also, the roof section on the Eos concerns me as well. To many parts as it has the sunroof, roof panel and the rear window. Watching it go up and down, i noticed a lot more moving parts and wires than the G6. I'm leaning towards the G6- New color blue/gold metalic with cream interior is real nice. The radio sounds great, dash is real handsome. Drove it with top down and up. Sure you feel a little cowl with top down, but not enough to bother the avgerage driver. FYI- to confirm - no gtp for 07, order the gt and get the premium and sports packages and you'll have the same vechile as the 06 GTP! Also, on the 07 you will not get the ugly door trim! Lastly, I drove the C70, very nice! a bit slower than the G6 3.9, but a very nice vechicle. You really cant compare with G6 as you will bay about 12-15K more! so if you have it go for it!

Replying to: exalteddragon1 (Aug 22, 2006 9:49 am) I also did not like the size of the Eos. very short nose, cramped back seating. But, as mentioned in another message. Everyone needs to do their home work and find the vehicle that is right for them. Drive both cars, locally, highway, get a good feel for them! Good luck

I recently test drove an EOS and agree with a number of the posts. I like the EOS, but have a couple of problems: 1) that top is cool, but looks like a formula for lots of time getting warranty repairs. My old man's Passat has had a lot of gremlins and I suspect the EOS might be the same. 2) our local VW dealer blows and has a horrible reputation for service. Plus, they wanted 37k and 90 days for delivery. I am about to test drive a G6 (the first domestic car I've ever seriously considered) and have a couple of quick questions: 1) Do the rear seats fold down? We live in Vermont and this car needs to be able haul skis to the slopes 2) Is there an i-pod hook-up? If so, does it allow for controls from the car stereo? 3) How bad is the slush box? I hate automatics and worry that the 4 speed will drive me nuts. Info and thoughts greatly appreciated! |

Both the g6 and Eos are very good choices but both have down falls. The Eos has a beautiful roof but may be trouble. The g6 is a pontiac so I can't trust it. So I choice the Eos just because something tells me it will be better in the long run. |

It's going to be hard to beat the g6. The Eos is a bit higher priced and a lot higher on after warranty repairs. The g6 vs the eos before the warranty runs out is a close race, but if we are talking about the long run, then I believe I would go with the g6.
