Slight disappointment by steveholly

I have been anxiously awaiting the Eos to arrive at a local VW dealer and got the call from them this week.
 
I headed to David Michael VW (Freehold, NJ) to finally see it in person.
 
I test drove a 2.0T auto w/ luxury package.
 
My thoughts:
Smaller than I expected.
Fit/finish was as expected, but lacked the "luxury" feel I had hoped for...
I had driven the Audi A3 with the same 2.0T engine and was expecting the same exciting engine feel - far from it! The car felt like it was towing an invisible anchor. Could be that it had 40 miles on it and wasn't broken in, but was a detractor for me.
We had the top down - more wind noise/buffeting than expected as well. I've owned a few convertibles in the past and was slightly surprised by the wind noise. Again, expected better.
 
All in all, I felt like it didn't live up to the hype.
Guess I'll need to schlep to the Volvo guys and see if the C70 is REALLY worth the extra $10K!

David Michael, huh? Hmmm... I may have to find my way over there this weekend.
 
I'm not expecting alot of luxury out of a $29k car with a retractable hardtop. The hardtop is complicated and expensive ... and, by the way, heavy, which may be the anchor you are referring to.

I am going to try next week to get an Eos for the day and take my little digital video camera. Not sure that I can get the car for the whole day but even just an hour or so would be nice. I will post some videos of the ride around if I am able to get the car.

Let me know if you really find an EOS for 29K, I think it's impossible. A few options and your up in the mid to high 30's!! good luck

to find one sitting on the lot at that price might be impossible. But ordering one wouldn't be.

My local dealer in the Seattle area is offering me either the base or 2.0T Eos for $1,000 over INVOICE. Which is more than $1,000 off MSRP.
 
DO NOT PAY MORE THAN MSRP!!! RESEARCH, COMPARE, NEGOTIATE, AND HOLD YOUR GROUND!!!

Hi,
Where didyou find the invoice pricing? I looked on edmunds...and all over and found nothing. I really want this car and it's barely in my price range (I totaled my solara convert. - the new ones are too big). Thanks

if you go to local dealers sites and check inventory, in some dealers they list msrp and also invoice, if you checkthe dealers around 20036, wasahington, dc, a dealer in virgiani had the invoice price listed, which is about 2500 less than retail i think

Before the dealer received invoice prices, he told me that I could purchase the car for $1,000 over invoice.
 
Today, he quoted the following actual prices to me:
 
Base Manual 27,718
2.0T Manual 29,545
2.0T Auto 30,618
 
These include destination charges, but not taxes.
 
I hope his helps.
