The official laucnh in the UK is now late July 2006.
Your dealer will recieve a demonstrator (it will be a EOS 200ps 2.0T) in the third week of July and although they wont park it in the showroom, it will be on site, so phone your salesman then! There are obvisouly two models - Eos and Eos Sport. The main difference is the sport will come with 17" alloys and sport suspension, the normal car will have 16" alloys. The 1.6 will be crap, don't buy it. Go at least for the 2.0 150ps FSi lump. The 17" alloys are a 450 pound option on a normal Eos, this seems the most sensible option.
Anybody seriously interested, PM me and i'll bore you senseless. :nerd:
This info came in from VW on the 17th Feb 2006 at 3.26pm.

plenty of options then, would be tempted to get the V6 one with DSG!
cheers for that VWMD!
-
I couldnt afford to insure one.. let alone buy it.
But i wonder if they'll let me play around with the demonstrator for a while... :laugh:
-
Thanks VMD, also for the PM.
Still not convinced though mate, got an EOS on order at the moment but not sure if a GTI like this is a better option

Awesome time, well worth the visit, loads to see and do. :cool: will post more pics later

-
Nah, flew, it was only £30 return on easyjet
-
*Looks at the new VW range*
Thats it! Im buying a honda!
*walks off*
(Am i the only one who thinks VW went downhill after the Mk4?)
-
well either way i am going to wolfsburg in the summer! but think i want the adventure of driving there! :cool:
-
cant make my mind up on the EOS, first i liked it, then decided i didnt but looking at those pictures i kinda like it again!
VWmd, when do you get one in mate? You will have to bring it round and we'll take it for i thrash so i can give a more informed opinion :wink:
-
i never bothered reading this as i didn't know what an Eos was!! but they look cool! very impressed. can't wait to see the first modded examples...... :cool:

FAF fielder I kinda agree, think they've gone too euro boxy and generic, that Eos could be a Passat, a Golf, a Jetta from the front or an Audi a4 convertible. They used to make individual cars would buy a mk4 over a mk5 golf anyday, and what does the mk2 Golf look like? A mk2 Golf!
I think the 200ps FSI engine with a revo job will be a nicer drive than the v6 going by mk5 GTI compared to R32.

July mate. 2.0T Sport apparantly. You know i'll be bringing one home as soon as the sun comes out.
-
^^^ Lucky begger, do u get to take cars home often?
-
My company car is a 55 plate Passat 2.0 Sport Saloon until next week when I get an 06 plate. but i can pretty much take home anything I like as long as it's taxed. I'll sometimes bring home interesting part exchanges - Range Rovers, mercs - sometimes complete randoms like Focuses just because it's easy to get bored drivign brand new cars all the time. . It's useful if I need a seven seater or if the suns out and I need a convertible. I brought our GTi home quite a few times recently and our Touaregs.. I had a week in a mark 4 R32 just before christmas. It's pretty cool but you do get a bit spoilt and kinda forget how lucky you are sometimes. It's a nice perk to outbalance everyone moaning at us :grin:
-
^^i can vouch for that! he turned up the other day in a mini cooper s and the sat nav in the Passat was handy going to buy my BBS's, didnt bring that R32 round tho!! :tongue:

YAY!! :grin: :grin: Bring it round, can take it for a road test to the pub! Soon as the sun comes out.....hmm could be a long wait then. :smiley:

well i defo want a job at VW in sales!! is there a minimum age? and do they want people with degrees?
-
Degree? Not with me they didn't :embarassed:
Minimum age varies from dealer to dealer. Usually 21 for insurance. We've got a 21 year old at our place and he can drive anything upto 150bhp. I'm an old git (27) so can drive anything.
Most dealers just want someone who's mature enough (snigger snigger) to speak to people of all ages from all backgrounds confidently.
I've been selling for almost eight years now in at different places and am still learning. There's plenty of sales training bull that I could reel off but as I said before. Car sales is 10% car and 90% sales. I don't know everything about my product (and beleive me people ask everything), but if you build up a good rapport with your punter, you can read through the brochures together and nine times out of ten they wont realise it's because you don't know either!
If you're genuinly interested, write to all the dealers in your area. You may get a couple of interviews but you'll rarely find decent car sales jobs advertised because we're a close knit lot in the trade and we all move around so the best jobs get taken.
PM me if you want some more advice neaty. No probs..

I really do want to get into it, and pref VW more than anywhere else seeing as though i know a thing or two about them (hey says). I have written my CV and a covering letter which isnt to shabby so i will send it off and see what they say. I am on 19 which is one of my concerns.
thanks very much for the advice
