Volkswagen Eos.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Volkswagen Eos is a four-seat folding hardtop convertible built between 2006 and 2015. Based on Golf running gear, it offered open-air driving with more refinement than a soft-top, appealing to buyers wanting year-round usability. The complex five-piece folding roof is the main reliability concern, and rust can affect older examples. Most Eos models came well-equipped, with petrol and diesel engines ranging from sensible to brisk.
