Hello everybody!My name is Jim,my wifes name is Jennie,and we have very recently purchased a new Eos TDI manual.Having never owned a VW before,we are rapidly coming to appreciate the virtues of this car.We bought it on a whim,we were actually out looking at VW powered trikes(we are also motorcycle tragics)and just decided to go looking at convertibles for a bit of fun.Test drove a Mazda MX5,very nice,but too cramped and impracticle.Tried to test drive a Mini with the folding roof,but the dealer was too busy to offer us a test drive,so we gave him the flick right away.Tried an Astra,but it sorta looks like one of those el cheapo stereos you buy from Crazy Clarks on the inside,and it drove quite poorly,in our opinion.Fell instantly in love with the Eos,you can just tell it has been engineered properly,and was well built and hopefully will be very reliable.So we bought it on the spot.Hopefully we can make a meaningfull contribution to this forum,and perhaps make some new friends along the way.We live in South East Queensland,in the Scenic Rim,so we have some fabulous roads for both our beloved Kawasaki Vulcan cruiser and our new Eos......Cheers Jim and Jen

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

welcome aboard Jim and Jen... I dont personally have an EOS but my neighbours do, and I had the priviledge of driving it whilest they went over seas for 3 months... it's also a TDI. I was surprised how much torque the engine makes and I agree in the quality and refinement levels inside and out.

We actually hurried the whole process along Karen...we moved to Queensland and abandoned our boys back in Sydney.....older boy in Army,so he couldnt come anyway,younger one didnt wanna leave his mates and his job,so we waved goodbye,jumped in the car(a BA Falcon,what a mistake THAT was)and headed north! We dont regret a second of it,we have made some fabulous friends up here,the weather is fantastic,life is good!.....If we agreed with you.....we would all be wrong
