#95 of 142 My DREAM CAR again by anneross Nov 22, 2008 (1:05 pm)
Yesterday, people told me I had NON taillights on when braking and while the headlights were on during night time driving!!!!!!   I have been really frustrated with Problematic power Windows!!!!!!!!!!!!, and more!?   My sister blamed me “look what you’ve got spending that much money?” And my friend teased me “who wanted the hardtop convertible?”   I have lost confidence with this brand new vehicle, I can not stop to think how much trouble and repair cost I am gonna spend after warrant period!? I am very confused now if I want to keep EOS or not.   Today, I asked roadside assistance to tow my car in for the service because driving becomes a hazard.   That is my story. That is my EOS!?   ???...
#96 of 142 Surging Acceleration by VWEosMystery Dec 21, 2008 (7:18 pm)
Replying to: nmack (Jun 28, 2008 8:10 am) I have an 2007 Eos with 59,000 miles. I have had this surging problem since it was new and the dealer says it's normal. Have you found a solution yet?
#97 of 142 Excessive Oil Consumption by VWEosMystery Dec 21, 2008 (7:23 pm)
I have a 2007 VW Eos with 59,000 miles. I have serviced it religious but have been consuming about one quart of oil every 1,000 miles for some time. I have to add several quarts of oil between service intervals. It is not leaking oil on the floor. The dealership told me that 1/2 quart of oil consumption for every 600 miles is normal. I find this very hard to believe. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? It sounds like a major problem that VW is trying to avoid.

#98 of 142 thinking of buy a volkswagon EOS lux by sue55 Jan 01, 2009 (9:47 pm)
I was thinking about buying a volvo c70 but was told by a friend to look into the Volkswagon EOS lux as a comperable car with a smaller prices tag. Has anyone heard of any comparisons of the two. Has anyone looked into both? thanks for any feedback. Replies to this message: superdogsteve (Jan 02, 2009 7:24 am) trackula (Jan 02, 2009 4:58 pm) jws6 (Jul 09, 2009 5:54 pm)

Replying to: sue55 (Jan 01, 2009 9:47 pm) There are a lot of comparisons on the Internet, and even earlier in this string.   I love my EOS , but I would drive both if I were you. We selected the EOS, and love to drive it every day!   STEVE

Replying to: sue55 (Jan 01, 2009 9:47 pm) We've had our EOS 2.0 (Base) for 11 months and love it. No issues at 12,000 plus miles; it has been trouble-free. Great car so far, very economical. I've not driven the C70, however friends with Volvos report high maintenance costs above 70,000 miles. Honestly, I'm convinced any car not well-maintained is going to have those issues though. There is a direct comparison in one of the auto mags you might want to check out. Google an "EOS C70 Comparison." We did that before our EOS purchase. It should turn up what you are looking for. Good luck with your decision.
#101 of 142 Throttle response by woobegone Jan 07, 2009 (5:02 pm)
Some posters have observed that the engine surges. I've noticed it as well, but I'm wondering if this is just normal for any turbocharged engine. It hasn't been problematic for me, and I'm used to the way the car drives so it doesn't bother me. Any seasoned turbo drivers have an opinion? Replies to this message: rob60657 (Jan 24, 2009 1:21 pm)

Replying to: VWEosMystery (Dec 21, 2008 7:23 pm) This is a problem. VW seems not to understand HOW TO BUILD A NEW CAR THAT DOESN'T BURN OIL! previously, i drove a volvo s40 (loved it!) that burned thru brakes.   But buring oil is a DANGEROUS problem for VW in that the average US driver does not expect their new $36,000 vehicle to burn a quart/1,000 miles.   my VW Driver's manual does recommend checking the oil levels EVERY fill up. Frankly, i think VW has been deceitful. They've built a problem into their vehicles. This warning should have been put on a damn sticker inside the glove compartment! That way, I'd see the little note before i bought the darn car.   I now won't buy another VW . Replies to this message: superdogsteve (Feb 25, 2009 7:16 am)

Replying to: woobegone (Jan 07, 2009 5:02 pm) I'm told the surging, like the rolling forward or backward in Park, are a function of the manumatic transmission. Do any 6-speed owners have these same problems? I'm used to it after a year.

I am thinking about purchasing an Eos. Love the way it drives. Will my golf clubs fit in the trunk with my golf cart? Replies to this message: eosinseattle (Mar 01, 2009 5:27 pm) mccher74 (Jun 04, 2009 2:33 pm)
