I thought I’d found it — my one complaint about the Eos — and I was all ready to shoot the car down. You see, I just filled up the gas tank and as with most small turbocharged engines, the Eos’ takes premium fuel. So great: it seems fairly efficient but geez, you get dinged at the pump with premium.
But then I did the math: I averaged 8.8L / 100km … darn that’s pretty good! I wasn’t driving conservatively, I did do a lot of highway but I did some city driving as well on the weekend. Impressive! But darn, now I really need to stretch to find something bad.
I give up — I was extremely impressed by the Eos. It is comfortable, smooth, peppy and fun to drive with the added bonus of offering open-top motoring — what more could you want? I really wanted to hate it, but I just loved it too much.
