Does anyone have an Eos?

[Deleted]

Thinking of trading in the Boxster. As much as I love it it was better suited to Santa Barbara hills than LA traffic. I hurt my right hand last week and spent all week driving a stick with my left hand. I just wonder if I would not be better off with a 4 seat automatic.

Discuss.

Sadly I thought you meant the lip balm, but apparenly you mean a fancy car :-\

LOL me too.

I'm not a Boxster fan, so I vote for the Eos. If you hate it you can always trade it in for another Boxster.

Have you thought about an Audi convertible? Those are pretty sweet.

No, I was also going to look at the Volvo. I hadn't considered the Audi but I should. I drove the Eos today. It was OK; nothing wrong with it but nothing spectacular. I love the Boxster but the stick is killing me in LA traffic and I feel it gets too much attention here. It was a much better SB car.

DH drives the SUV in our family.

Yes, definitely check out the Audis. I love VWs and I'm not being a car snob at all but it's a totally different car, totally different drive, totally different everything, obviously. You know what I mean. And yes, Porsche clutches are a little stiff....daily traffic would be a total drag. I totally get it.

Get an M3 with a hardtop convertible. Dual clutch. My H creams every time he gets in.

DH has always driven BMW convertibles so to me they are "man" cars. Especially the M series. Not that the Boxster isn't but . . .

Audi's are way better equipped than Volkswagen. I used to drive a Golf convertible and liked it a lot, but the Audi A4 convertible was amazing! I do not like the EOS
Next car will be a TT (but not convertible)
