Ratings & reliability

4.6 out of 5

10 customer reviews
The 2012 Volkswagen Eos earns high praise for its enjoyable ride, responsive handling, and distinct hardtop convertible design with a sunroof option. Fuel economy and turbocharged power are commended, while downsides include limited cargo space and high maintenance costs. Reliability and versatility add appeal, but interior space may be restrictive for some.
