Without the handle, obviously. Rollover protection is for the weak minded and feeble.

A neighbour has the hardtop convertible with a 2.0TDi engine and loves his to bits.

Germany stopped selling this one (the Eos) about two of three years ago. You could still get them in Europe for a while but I think they only do the soft top cabriolet now in 1.2TSi an 1.4TSi Bluemotion petrols and 2.0TDi Bluemotion diesel.

I think it’s all they will offer it in to be honest. It’s not a performance car but a leisurely cruiser.

Though on the U.K. website we have a 2.0TSi petrol 220ps 6speed automatic Golf cabriolet GTi.

They do/did a GTI I think, of the golf cabriolet.

Ye’, just noticed on the U.K. site but it’s not on the German site so added it to the bottom of my last post a couple of minutes ago.

The GTi is only available in a 6 speed automatic 2.0TSi, which is like the new Skoda Superb, 2.0TSi available in 6 speed only while the 2.0TSi Skoda Octavia is available in manual and automatic in the Octavia vRS.

Actually that’s what Skoda needs, a good cabriolet.

Here in the States you could get an Eos with a 3.2 VR6/DSG

They tend to be smaller more economical units this side of the pond though would they still do the 3.2 for the U.S. only while a lot of VWs and it’s stable mates are putting in smaller units. The Skoda Superb Mk2 was available in the last model as a 3.6 V6 but the new model will peak out at a 2.0TSi unit.
