The Eos convertible can be considered the successor to the Volkswagen Cabrio, in that it's a Jetta-based four-seater equipped with a folding metal hard top.
However, the Eos is much more luxurious than the Cabrio ever was.
One novel feature for a convertible is a built-in sunroof that can be opened when the hard top is closed.
The seats are comfortable and interior fit and finish are impressive.
Head-protecting curtain airbags are housed in the doors.
Power comes from a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, with Volkswagen's responsive sequential-shift DSG transmission.
A 3.2-liter V6 is available with 2007 and 2008 models.
The manual transmission was dropped in 2012.
A rear-view camera became available beginning with the 2013 model year.
The final year of production was 2015.
