Just got my Sat sept 30, this thing rocks, I was looking at beemers & A4 but talked to neighbors that have them and changed my mine, I needed 4 seats or would have to drive my Yukon or Ram for school day pick ups so a Porsche was out. I got my convertable and the 2.0 Turbo gives it a really sporty feel. I am 6' 1" and there is plenty of head room, something I always liked in my old Porsches. Always liked the VW marche but never had I model I craved until the Touareg but didn't like the gas mileage and already have 2 SUV's. Then Sat AM I saw the Eos on the web and went down and looked at one, the kids ok'd the back seat and the smiles are still etched in their faces, as back seaters they voted for a Hummer, a big no-no in Colorado. My wife is driving to the Air force Academy today for a sales call, I may never get it back and it's got to be double the gas mileage as the Yukon. The only thing I see is that you can't put a seat cover on because the side airbag is in the seat, that puts a worry on me to see how the leatherette stands up to sliding in and out. Has anyone seen a tape or something that can be put on the seat to take the wear?

I'm seriously considering getting the Eos, Auto transmission with Luxury package. I'd been waiting for months for it to hit the US market. There is only one thing that would keep me from getting it. If I'm not mistaken VW recommends high octane fuel, but I'm hoping that that is just for "optimal performance" and I could get away with much lower, without doing damage of course. What type of gas are you fortunate owners using? Thanks for any help.

Couple of questions: I have a dealer who has red with sports package, and blue with lux package..Am confused about which one to go with. The blue one is 600 higher, at 34700 Does the lux package automatically come with the DVD nav system? And can some real automobile geeks tell me what is the difference between lux and sports packages>? thanks much Prat |

Prat: Apparently you have not done you own research. Sport package is $200 more than Lux package. Luxury package doesn't come with Nav System. At a glance, Sport package has 17" wheel, sport suspension, sport seats, aluminium trim interior. The luxury one has different seats, wood trim and that's about it. The rest is the same. Check it out when u get to dealership tomorrow and ask the sales man, they should their homework as well. The only reason I could think why they discount so much was the mileage on the blue (lux) one has more mileage. Correct me if I am wrong when u see them tomorrow. Good luck.
