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! |

Replying to: carrara (Aug 28, 2006 1:18 pm) 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 Jan |

Replying to: photogal57 (Aug 31, 2006 2:11 pm) 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.

Replying to: carrara (Sep 05, 2006 5:29 pm) If WITH destination as he says, I guess that makes sense. So that would make invoice $26,718 vs the $28,620 MSRP. $1900 spread sounds a bit low, but believable for the base model, I suppose. |
