Vauxhall Astra Convertible

The four-seater soft-top Vauxhall Astra Convertible is based on the sleek-looking Astra Coupé and is a sensible choice for those who can't stretch to a Saab 9-3 or Audi A4. Attractively styled by Italian design team Bertone and one of the most popular variants of the Mk4 Astra, this convertible offers buyers a bargain proposition blending great looks, a stylish electric hood and potent performance at a price that won’t break the bank. The impressive Astra TwinTop succeeded Astra Convertible in 2006.
