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 |

The front passenger seat is cramped, especially on long journeys. My wife is smaller, so its fine for her, but Im an average sized male, about 5'11" and my left knee always aches after a while. see full Ford Focus review |
