Reader’s Question:

I have been driving an EOS for quite a few months now here in Houston, Texas. I was just wondering, what are the possible upgrades that I can have?

I just drove home a VW EOS and really am flattered with the updates that I got for it. Our car is equipped with Park Distance Control - a sonar system that gives warning to the driver when a backup collision is inevitable. Now you might think that this kind of feature is reserved for low visibility SUVs, and not for a compact convertible. The reason for getting the PDC is that during retracts of the top, the trunk might jut out and the mechanic says it can go to about two feet behind the car. So If you’re parked within close range of the PDC, your trunk is might get crunched. Kind of, makes me wonder why it’s only an option and not a standard feature.

The EOS sports a combination of old and new designs. Its headlights, grille and taillights are essential as that of VW, while the overall body sculpting is completely fresh. Remove the EOS badge, and some might think it’s an Audi. One thing I appreciate the most are the panel gaps in the hood. Although these are evenly planted, the size of these always seems to draw our eyes there first.

I bought my Volkswagen EOS here in Houston, Texas for an agreeable price of $30,000. Other car dealer sells it for $40,000 but that is questionable. I don’t agree in paying that huge extra amount to get all the features that I mentioned. All it takes is a bargainable knowledge and options that you definitely need. I also got the chance to take advantage of car insurance within this website that is really a perfect match for my VW EOS.
