The Volkswagen Eos was named by MotorWeek TV as "Best Convertible" in its annual Driver’s Choice Awards.

“The four-season retractable hardtop design of the Volkswagen Eos sets a new benchmark for affordable convertibles,” said MotorWeek host John Davis. “The cleverness of the top is obvious. Add in strong and efficient engines and great driving pleasure and the Eos is an easy convertible standout.”

The Eos is the world’s first four-seater, hard-top convertible. It has an integrated sunroof and its revolutionary CSC (coupe-sunroof-convertible) design in which its five-panel roof transforms the coupe’s hardtop into an open-air convertible.

Available with the award-winning 2.0T four-cylinder or the innovative 3.2 L narrow-angle V6 engines, other notable features of the Volkswagen 2007 Eos include Climatic single-zone air conditioning as standard in the base Eos, with dual-zone Climatronic™ standard in the Eos 2.0T and 3.2 L models. Easy entry rear seats that "remember" the driver’s and front passenger’s longitudinal seating positions, and return to these once the rear passengers have entered or exited the vehicle are standard on the Eos 3.2 L and optional on the 2.0T models.

The 2007 Eos 2.0T offers 200 horsepower and 207 lbs.-ft. of torque from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder engine. High-pressure, Fuel Stratified Injection helps with performance and efficiency. The 2007 Eos 2.0T is EPA rated at an estimated 23 miles per gallon in the city and an impressive 32 mpg in highway driving.

The 2007 Driver’s Choice Awards is selected by 15 judges, composed of writers, producers and crew of MotorWeek. The judges evaluated more than 150 cars and trucks using superior performance, technology, practicality and dollar value as benchmarks.
