Ring in the Summer with the 2014 VW Eos!

2014 Volkswagen Eos Providence RI

In the eight years since the first production of the Volkswagen Eos, it has managed to carve out a niche among sophisticated sport coupes that has inspired a number of like-minded competitors and even more dedicated Eos fanatics. With its upscale interior and compelling performance profile, its status as the first choice among luxury vehicles of this type is secure, but many in the area around Speedcraft VW in Providence still have questions. So, to parse through some of the details of the 2014 Volkswagen Eos, let’s get some answers.

First off, what is an “Eos”? Well, it’s not “what,” but “whom.” Eos was the name of the Greek goddess of the dawn, and in Greek mythology, it was her job to open the gates of heaven so that her brother Helios (who was the sun), could bring daylight to the world. How’s that for suggestive symbolism? The versatile roof of the Eos is suitable for all conditions. Tell me about this convertible top I’ve heard so much about. In all likelihood, the feature of the 2014 VW Eos that has received the most press is its innovative retractable hardtop. It’s the first of its kind, featuring an integrated tilting/sliding sunroof that still allows the daylight in when the roof is in the “up” position. With the push of a button, the roof retracts into the trunk in less than 25 seconds, and when the roof is closed, it’s as quiet as any hardtop coupe around. How’s its performance? The 2014 VW Eos is built to be a sophisticated all-around experience, and that mission extends to its performance profile. The Eos is powered by a 2.0L Turbo Four-cylinder engine, which is paired with the popular six-speed DSG (an automated manual transmission) to produce an athletic 200 horsepower. It goes zero-to-sixty in about seven seconds, and produces an EPA-estimated 30 mpg on the highway. All around, the 2014 VW Eos is perfectly suited to the New England driver who enjoys a refined vehicle to navigate our scenic beaches and backwoods. The practical interior of the 2014 VW Eos has everything you want, and nothing you don't. And the interior? The upscale interior cabin of the 2014 VW Eos is perhaps its most attractive draw, with distinctly European craftsmanship creating an overall impression that is both high in quality while being exceedingly practical. Clean lines run throughout the upholstery and dashboard controls, making the Eos the ideal touring sport coupe/convertible. A info touchscreen with navigation functionality also comes standard, and with three trim levels--the Komfort, Sport, and Executive--auto buyers of all types will be satisfied with what this vehicle has to offer. The 2014 Volkswagen Eos is now available to Providence-area drivers at Speedcraft VW in Wakefield, RI, the area’s best-reviewed Volkswagen dealer. To learn more about this terrific vehicle in time for the upcoming summer travel season, visit our dealership today, or call to schedule a test drive.

Isn't it Time to Put the Top Down?

Volkswagen Convertible Providence RI Now that summer is rapidly approaching, and as the red Sharpie gets a workout drawing circles on the calendar, doesn’t it seem like something is missing? With trips to the beach, summer cruises to various festivals, perhaps a night or two at the various drive-in theatres in the area, wouldn’t all of this be much more enjoyable in a Volkswagen convertible from Speedcraft VW near Providence, RI? Many of the benefits of driving a convertible are obvious to the point of cliche, “The wind in your hair” and all that drivel. Some perks, however, are much less so. Anyone who sits a little long in the saddle, for example, will never have to worry about headroom or neck pain again, while the corollary problem of nagging blind spots during lane changes will be similarly forgotten. And, while we often associate the term “family vehicle” with SUVs and sedans, can you think of anything to bring you and your loved ones together more than a sun-soaked cruise to the coast? No, we thought not. The 2014 VW Eos offers sophistication and luxury that suggests a far steeper sticker price. At Speedcraft VW near Providence, RI, we feature both new and used convertibles to boost your summer months from mild to hot. Each is host to its own charms while proudly featuring the quality craftsmanship that is undeniably Volkswagen. The 2014 VW Beetle Convertible, now available at Speedcraft VW, is everything you would expect from the update of one of history’s most popular convertibles: fun, stylish and highly functional. In all three of the available engine formats--the 2.5L five-cylinder, 2.0L Turbo R-Line, and all-new 1.8L Turbo four-cylinder--the 2014 VW Beetle Convertible exudes confidence and charm, with plenty of athleticism to boot. Also available at Speedcraft VW near Providence is the 2014 Volkswagen Eos, a sophisticated and sporty convertible with a retractable hardtop that neatly separates passengers from road noise when needed, and quickly folds to let the sunshine in on perfect summer days. The Eos comes standard with VW’s new CarNet telematics system, and its refined feel and performance exhibit fine-tuned luxury at a practical price. Of course, the best way to understand the finer points of convertible ownership is to schedule a test drive, which our friendly staff at Speedcraft VW is standing by to assist you with today.
