Albeit a Volkswagon the EOS is seriously aerodynamically flawed. At motorway speed - 70 mph - if the car is driven with the top down and the side windows down tha buffeting is so bad that car appears to suffer from scuttle shake. The only way around this problem is to drive with the side windows up and the rear wind deflector in place.
Even worse, when driving with the top up, at 70 mph, if you open the sunroof the noise can only be described as standing next to a jet engine spooling up.
I would also suspect that the mechanism that operates the folding top will be a cause for future problems as the cars age. It is so very complex.
If you want an EOS, please try to emulate the situations and experiences described above. This is an awful car. Spend the extra and buy an Audi A4 Cabriolet.

The review from Mr Munro seems extremely harsh. I find this car to have none of the faults previously described. It is quiet, comfortable, so far reliable. Could Mr Munro be an Audi salesman one may ask :)
