2011 | 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
I sometimes have elderly passengers. They do not have to squirm to get in or do calesthenics to get out. see full Honda CR-V review |

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 |
2007 | 2dr Hardtop conv. 250-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Sedan feeling with 10-way power/heated seats blended with sports-car suspension and handling. A real glove box that is cooled by the A/C. Pockets on side doors are handy for storage. see full Volkswagen Eos review |

That it exists! Gets used as more of a parcel shelf than rear seat but can fit two passengers comfortably when needed. see full Volkswagen Eos review |

Seat is small and okay for short trips. Adults fit okay when the top is down, access is tight witht the top up. see full Volkswagen Eos review |
