Vauxhall/Opel Astra Twintop
Vauxhall/Opel were slow to react to competitor's coupe-convertibles but the final result has been a good-looking well though out design. The roof folds into 3 pieces minimising wasted space and keeping the rear of the car relatively slim compared to much of the competition. It's a good drive for it's class but it's weight blunts the performance a little. Rear space isn't great and some may find the headroom to be restricted with the roof up but in general it's a very attractive package.
