2010 Volkswagen Eos Review

Fitted with an fully integrated, powered panoramic sunroof, the 2010 Volkswagen Eos is a sporty, very stylish coupe, or a convertible with an innovative retractable hardtop. In fact, it's the only convertible on the planet that has a built-in sunroof. That's not all that's unique and distinct about the Eos though; not by a long shot. It also features an award-winning 2.0L TSI 200hp intercooled turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine. It delivers 207 lb-ft of torque through your choice of a 6-speed DSG automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. It also throws in FSI direct fuel injection, drive-by-wire throttle control and cylinder-selective adaptive knock control technologies to deliver an EPA-estimated 21/31 mpg urban/rural. Quite sweet indeed.
