Replying to: stunacht (Feb 24, 2008 10:40 am)  I have had an EOS since May '07, and would not trade it for the world. It is so much fun to drive, and the 2.0L turbo is great! I have not had any leaks at all, but have experienced the 'roll back" it is not a huge deal once you get used to it. I experienced the same thing with a Chevy Impala I rented at the airport once. The fun of an EOS completely out weighs any of the tiny problems and character the car might have. One recommendation is the darker interior, because our light tan gets dirty quick and you have to dry wipe the dirt first, otherwise if you use a cleaner it is set in the leather for life. I learned that the hard way. This is my first convertible with such a light color interior. If you use the wind shield over the back seat, the dirt is even worse because it gets trapped on the seat by the wind collecting under the shield. |

We took delivery a couple of weeks ago and have nothing but praise for the car. Fit, finish, quality materials, comfort and performance are beyond our expectations. No leaks yet, but we personally lubed all seals as soon as we brought it home. Went through a fairly high pressure "touchless" wash with no leaks found. Fuel economy was 29.7 on the first tank with 80% highway driving. The only issue is a very slight headlight beam misalignment. The buying experience was great and we'd do it all over again. Thanks to all who have posted their experiences. It really helped in the few weeks we researched the car before buying. I had some reservations due to the leak issues but decided to take the chance and I'm now glad we did. Does anyone out there have 40,000 miles or more yet on their Eos? Just wondering how the reliability has been and whether the driveability has degraded at all. |

Replying to: trackula (Mar 08, 2008 12:03 pm) I drive about 90 miles a day round trip to work and my average mileage is about 30mpg. I have driven on longer trips and gotten as much as 35mpg. Overall the car is a blast to drive. No degradation of performance at all

I'm thinking of installing a module that will alter the operation of the top and other features. I was wondering if anyone else has one of these modules? How is the performance? Any problems with installation or electrical issues? The module is from a company named Mods4Cars. They make roof operation modules for many of the German cars. thanks for any info |

Replying to: nmack (Jun 28, 2008 8:10 am) Of course the dealer can not duplicate the problem and no codes are recorded. I still love the car. It is a year old now, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!!! If anyone finds a fix, please share it!! |

| We have had the EOS in the service dept three times for lagging acceleration. Sometimes you just start to pass or pull out and NOTHING happens. It just puts along for a second ot two and then suddenly spins the wheels and jumps forward. It is kindof scary. They say nothing is wrong. | |
