I quite enjoyed the Eos on open country roads with the top down, sun shining in. It's not that the Eos has a throaty growl of an exhaust or an audible turbo even, but it still feels sporty and handles as such. It doesn't feel stodgy or boring when you're behind the wheel, and that elevates this German-bred machine in my eyes.
As I contemplated the significance of the Volkswagen's name, Eos, it dawned on me (pun fully intended): it really does fit the goddess description. The Eos arouses adoration through its charm (not so much its beauty). And as the electronically controlled hardtop descends into the trunk, letting the sunlight stream in, you'll be glad to hand over the near $40,000 starting price just to enjoy some time behind the wheel.
