2012 Volkswagen Eos Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2012 | 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
The back seat is not comfortable and has limited leg room. While the latter may be typical of some convertibles, leg room is less than on previous convertibles I have owned. see full Volkswagen Eos review |
