The auto testers at Consumer Reports magazine rank the Volkswagen Eos best among seven convertibles tested for the current May issue. The Eos narrowly out-scored the BMW 328i, though both earned "Very Good" overall scores.
Though they scored marginally lower, both the Saab 9-3 and Volvo C70 also received "Very Good" ratings. The Pontiac G6, Mitsubishi Eclipse and Chrysler Sebring posted "Good" scores. The Eos, 328i and C70 are all "recommended" as a result of testing and their good reliability ratings and at least adequate crash-test scores.
Five of the seven tested have retractable hardtops, while two have traditional fabric tops, but all are power-operated.
