Astra TwinTop awards raise the roof!

The stunning coupe-convertible version of the ever-popular Astra wowed the judges of the UK’s Auto Express’s New Car Honours, where the judges said: “Handsome as a hatch, the Astra looks even more striking as a convertible.”

As well as the prestigious Auto Express gong, TwinTop scooped two more accolades in the coveted Diesel Car of the Year Awards.

Judges from the magazine named the TwinTop 1.9CDTi their Best Convertible/Coupe 2006, as well as runner-up in their overall Diesel Car of the Year 2006.

Commissioning editor Garth Sumpter said: “My best drive of 2006. the TwinTop delivers on every conceivable level. Looks, engine, chassis and even performance – and competitively priced to beat all of its rivals.”
