2010 Volkswagen Eos Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The car is comfy on long trips, and the seat heaters are super. The car is great with the top down—if you deploy the wind deflector, you don’t get your hair blown all over the place. The faux leather on the seats is fine-- you can only get real leather if you get the LUX model, and then you can’t have a manual transmission. see full Volkswagen Eos review
