Test Drive Volkswagen EOS since 2006 Convertible

Eretetomobil

Potential buyers of the car with the poetic name of the Greek goddess Dawn EOS marketers of the Volkswagen concern are predominantly among those aged from 35 to 45 years, focused on the demonstration of a certain social status and is an important detail - preferably not married. With the marketers of Volkswagen almost completely agreed and the chief editor of the autopilot Nikolai Fomenko, which makes, however, a little refinement that these buyers should not be registered in Russian registry offices, to have Russian citizenship and cross the Russian border.
And impossible is possible. Due to the theme of our test drive, one important question arises. In my opinion, he is legitimate. Let the reader judge himself. This question is: if I live on the space of the former union and want to buy a convertible, then who am I? The answer to such a question is most likely the following: I am a person who wants to demonstrate to the world around the world, which never knew about the existence of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the CPSU, Bam, the army principle do not want - make the tax on the mindlessness and quilting breeding, not I heard the names of Gorbachev and Cola Belda, he is not interested in Putin's thoughts about global warming and good, which it will bring this country. In short, the position of this person can be reduced to a simple statement - put on everything with the device. Here is true, it is not clear what Lesheh this device is VW EOS. And not Cadillac Eldorado, Ferrari 430 or at the worst of any open Mercedes. It would be more weighty, rude and simply. Klana put so much.
 
The second option is a institution that has fallen a girlfriends to the box called the 206th Pyzhik, which is bought on the secondary for a couple of candy, which gave a dash for what was when the obedient girl is necessary. The position of this owner of the cabriolet Although what kind of position is a fool from the lane? Ha-Ach. And that's it. In the house-2 about such divecha chatted. It is clear that there is no money on EOS. Too d-o-r-aa-ha.
 
By the way, I saw the other day, as this option acts in real life. Moscow. Bridge over the canal. Heat. Cork. Cartoon. Balcony, which, instead of going ahead, begins to take shape suddenly. Her roof crawled into the trunk, it seems to me, much longer than they write about it in booklets. But in this case it was a plus car. The roof crawled out and opened the twenty-first chavernits sitting in the chavernits. The public reaction was amazing. No one ran out with the cries ah you are a libertine, I will show you a striptease! On the contrary, the majority thought: yes hell with her, with this cork, and with this work
VOLKSWAGEN EOS car owners recommend a summary of an ancient Greek mythology. Goddess Dawn, goddess with pink fingers, beautiful, golden, etc. The EOS in most adult myths appears as a woman temperamental, insatiable (read - nymphomaniac), inclined to kidnap the objects of their love. Such Eos, who divided the bed with the God of war Ares, made Aphrodite. It was Aphrodite in retaliation for this relationship inspired Eos eternally unintelligible passion for young mortals. Eos is called the culprit of the morning erection in men. Keep it up, dear motorists model VW EOS!
Other options I lower. I turn immediately to the impossible. An option is: I am a normal and solvent citizen, the son of his wonderful country. And I buy VW EOS to ride in this wonderful country in which the sun burns the top of nine months a year. I buy a small, cheap and simple in principle of a car to go to a wide range of the capital or a millionth city and be immediately engaged - however, quite the same as the owner of the open Ferrari 430. Digitated by what is called by our the reality in which the bird is littered is the most harmless thing that you can only imagine. And you can drive in an open car and not to be engaged on our roads only with strictly specified conditions. It should be Sunday, say, July 15th. Time - from 9 to 11 am. The route is from the river station to Pushkin's restaurant. In the fellow travelers - better mulatto or black woman. Because the blonde will still become sulfur, even with such ideal driving conditions.
Smoke of the Fatherland. On other days of the week and other time if you open, for example, in your expensive VAZ-2112 machine at least hatch, then not only passengers, conveniently relevant in the back seat, but the driver will cover gray that we cannot bring out of the composition combustible products of Ryazan and Moscow refinery.
 
In addition to sulfur, they will also cover all the fact that it is lucky and cargo transportation to the capital and from the capital, namely by the granite granite, a stone-grinding resin, the nail, with a galvanized, with deciduous, dust, with a glass of crushed, pollen flower. Add to this saliva envious, tea sleep and mat selective. With an open hatch, the interior of the car is also exposed to monstrous loads. All the soot and dirt that falls from the sky, be sure to settle and eat the leather braid on the steering wheel, a horse racing on the handle of the gearbox, rubber seals, isolation of contacts on the instruments that begin to go crazy disaster.
 
In the VW EOS car, which is akin to a motorcycle and which has both a hatch, and another roof opens, this disaster acquires the scap of the catastrophe. In this catastrophe, the interior suggests once. Have time to regret the driver. If, sitting in this car, you find yourself next to Kamaz, a constructive feature of the exhaust system of which is the presence of a nozzle, aimed directly into the temporal depression of the motorist on the next car, then you know: you play a Russian roulette.
Volkswagen EOS CSC Metal CSC Roof - Joint Development of VW and Webasto Engineers - is distinguished by the originality and complexity of its design. The total number of parts applied here is 470. The roof consists of five sections, 6 hinges, 8 hydraulic cylinders, 12 sensors, has a built-in lifting and sliding glass hatch. The weight of the roof is 22 kg (12 kg falls on a glass hatch). The front glass part of the roof opens separately as a panoramic hatch or lifted under the tilt to a height of 35 mm. For opening or closing the roof, 25 seconds are required. With the roof of the roof, the luggage compartment has a volume of 205 liters, and with a closed - 380. The locking hatch built into the back seat allows you to transport a long cargo - for example, skiing.
 
Dutch is ready to shoot at that moment when Vasily Dudko, a second-class driver, seeing from the height of his KAMAZ cabin for 485 meters, flashed the green light of the traffic light, gently reacts and pumping the accelerator pedal a couple of times, presses it from the soul, freeing the latter From accumulated gazikov and soot there. As a result of this cleansing procedure, KAMAZ Dudko will move exactly one meter, because there are another 300 cars ahead of it, which also touch very softly, thinking about, and whether there is a sense to twitch.
And all these 485 meters the EOS driver with an open roof, in front of which, too, several hundred cars will sit and get a deadly charge in the head. By charge of meter.
You can get an EOS, which would be even better, using options (such as the Dynaudio audio system with a power of 600 W with a 10-channel amplifier and 10 speakers, bixenon headlights with a dynamic adaptive lighting system and static turning) or VOLKSWAGEN INDIVIDUAL. Although here, too, there is a basic package with 18-inch alloy wheels Veracruz, sports suspension and seats with a two-color nappa leather, chrome-plated radiator grille and other distinctive elements. Microsoft was also contributed to the EOS individualization, which was also included in the backrest of EOS's seats on a computer at a capacity of 650 MHz with a 7-inch sensory display and a 20 GB rigid disk. Computers can be used in conjunction with the car navigation system, as well as to play video and music or for video games and e-mail.
And in the morning they woke up. Like the EOS car is an absolutely cool project. It is Volkswagen in its best manifestation. This is a serial machine from the conveyor that does not give failures. With an unmatched TFSI engine, with which you can always add, even if the tachometer arrow already seemed to be hit the maximum. With a box to become, where everything is exactly like in a pharmacy. EOS is a very steady and controlled car, with a neat, in the correct portions of the active electronics. Salon - above all praise. Armchairs - Under the sport, comfortable, with excellent side support and lumbar emphasis and even with memory for the convenience of landing and disembarking. Finishing - high standard. Car - iPod-Ready. Audio system - at the level. Add options to taste, and you generally get a nominee for the best car of the decade. I like everything in it.
 
On this machine in the West there should be crowds of not burdened with families and concerns of rich students, managers a little higher than the middle link and other Shalopia. This car even will be appropriate in Finland: it is colder than us, but cleaner. I do not see this car mass application. Of course, there will always be crazy who are lovingly to this car and maybe even unite into the club. Why not? We have the clubs of fans of Saab, UAZ Patriot and Combinines Don. But even crazy mistress managers will not sit in this car. On this machine there is no place to travel in our cities, because you will always be dirty. And outside the city we have no roads for convertibles. Only rockads for transportation of shells and transportation of the wounded. In short, verdict: Want to ride the EOS, go to Greece or Spain and drive. But do not cross the border of the Russian Federation.
So in Eos, they will tell me, you can (when the Purga and minus 30 outside the window) ride and lowered top. Really. But buying with lowered EOS riding stupid, it is better to buy a BMW. Convertible is not here. Even if he is called a beautiful Greek name, the name of the goddess, who, they say, is responsible for the dawn, the morning erection and sunset manually. I do not understand why EOS in our country. It's like a Baba-Kuznets. Baba-Kuznets? Possible, but why?
Thank you for your help in organizing the shooting of Volkswagen Group Rus LLC, www.volkswagen.ru, and the Russian Automobile Federation.
5 Wheel: Our test drive passed under the motto: We can give you any VW EOS provided that it will be two-liter. We were offered eaps with three variants of a 2.0 liter power unit: gasoline FSI and TFSI with a capacity of 150 and 200 hp and 140-strong turboodizel. All three two-liter aggregates equipped with a cool mechanical transmission, if desired, can be ignited. Naturally, their nuances were found in the work of each motor. So 2.0 TFSI did not pull on the Nizakh, but on tops revealed in complete glory. The atmospheric version of this motor seemed more balanced: it pulls well from the bottom and does not exhale on top. As for 2.0 TDI, then, except for low fuel consumption, this motor did not impress anything special - just a good turbo diesel.
Autorev: The goddess of the morning dawn (it is her in Greek mythology and called the EOS) quite a photogenic: great expressive eyes, a cute smile, a slim, taut figure. But especially seductively EOS looks at the back, with the roof lowered. As if in a short dress, and even with defiantly open shoulder. And the raised roof not only does not destroy the image, but also trains the imagination, intriguing: how does this lady look, if instead of a business suit, it is necessary for something frivolous? However, the interior makes it clear that the goddess is not frivolous at all. The solid front panel from Golf, the same steering wheel, the magnificent front seats with a strict profile - everything is serious, and you will not come to the goat curve.
Test drive: In any era were people who wanted to stand out from society themselves like. Nowadays, with a moderate Ukrainian climate, car individualists are noticed by the type of body of their iron friend. Which one is the most beautiful and at the same time - the most impractical? Of course, the coupe ... What could be even less practical than the coupe? Excavator? No - a convertible. To all the advantages and disadvantages listed in the previous paragraph, you can add convenience in summer and a grand inconvenience in winter ... A car with a 2.0-liter FSI gasoline engine and a 6-speed manual gearbox was provided to the test drive. The gearbox selector moves are small and clear, it is difficult to miss the necessary transmission, the transmitting series of numbers is suitable successfully. The only thing that led us (and maybe it helped to reveal all car cards) - this is the weather. Summer tires are incompatible with deep rolled snow in unexpected streets, so the buoying system of stabilization ESP accounted for a while.
Driving: In the open car you need to ride a light and better than a cheerful company, and with you to take it out that a picnic basket is. Moreover, for four Volkswagen EOS provides enough space, it is only necessary to catch the front armchairs. More precisely, return them to a place in two receptions - first push the seat, then, holding the handle, reject the back. To return the chair with one movement never happened, although I honestly practiced two days. However, for such arrows there is a seat with electrically regulators and an Easy-Entry device with a single key.
Car newspaper Claxson: Greece is a hot country. Summer temperatures here often rolls over 40 degrees Celsius. In such conditions, the usual asphalt melts - it becomes soft and loses its qualities. It is not safe to ride it, and the canvas wear out quickly. So that the road cover remains metric even in the bake, the Greeks thought of adding cement to the asphalt mixture. Goal achieved? Not really. The fact is that such a road is obtained by slippery. This I felt on my own skin, rising on my two to the Acropolis - Museum of History of Ancient Greece, which is located in the highest part of Athens. My shoes then slipped. And when I was driving, then this moment kept in my head all the time. To poke on such roads is more expensive. My thoughts confirmed after at one of the intersections I saw a Mercedesian sedan who did not have time to slow down the wagon turned into a hatchback. However, after several trial braking in the floor, I could have already rely entirely on VW EOS.
Gazeta.ru: Twenty-five seconds, for which the roof of the car is, the roof is unfolded, it is unnoticeable for observing process. Three roof panels and two arcs perform over the seats something similar to the card focus, shot by rapid. At this is the bottom, in the bodies of the body, noticeably a separate movement - the plastic elements are turned over, under which arcs and glass are hidden. Although when attacking plastic, it seems quite durable, the closest to the trunk of the casing with a non-core pressure go inside - it is better not to rely on them, especially when trying to jump into the back seat, without opening the doors.
