Very nice Doc.  :cool:
 I like the 18" Chicagos and the leather is much better than the standard seat trim.
Mind you  don't you think that VW  are a bit tight wanting to charge for dual zone climate control on roughly a £26,000+ car.

Close she's a police officer!

If I could of I would of! You can't get DSG STILL - only in the 3.2!

Agreed but it's only £395 on the eos not £695 as on Golf - why I don't know!


bring back the R32.....

NO! I want an R36 - GOLF

looks like a nice car u got yourself, bit girly looking tho and there are too many creases when the roof is up.

id have gone for the A4 convertible where a 2 litre turbo would be about £28k. but i can understand if a soft top aint your thing.

not my car hence " The Missus EOS has been delivered!"

Thanks for your input - needed a steel roof plus we have a few friends with the Audi A4 Cabs and they seem to have one problem after another AND loads of squeeks.

PLUS the EOS is a far better drive than the A4 - but hey ho we all have our preferences!

sounds pretty well justified to me. I really like this car, perhaps would look good a touch lower but otherwise its spot on!

cant argue with that i spose. have to say the Eos does look good from most angles. i think the fact that its 5 piece means u see more lines when its up but i spose it makes it work better.
