What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Opel Astra appreciate its styling, performance, and features, highlighting the powerful engine and advanced equipment. Many drivers enjoy the car's value for money regarding power and performance. However, some reviewers noted issues with acceleration and cramped rear seating, which detracts from the experience for a few."
Easytronic transmission ensures that the engine's power is more directly channeled to the wheels, as opposed to typical torque-converter gearboxes, car's realtively cheap for the power and quality, fuel consumption is also acceptable car's quite well balanced and is a value bang
August 31, 2009I love all the extra equipment: The DVD90 radio with CID (Colour Info Display), navigation system and MP3 player. The AFL lights, the Recaro seats, the rear mirror which tones the glass to prevent getting blinded, but most of all the moverfull engine with 240 bhp. It goed from 0-100 km/h in 6.4 seconds.
June 22, 2009Performance - exceptional in all performance areas Build Quility - Sturdy construction, but costly if neglected Appearance - Kind of a sleeper, will run with the big boys yet looks like a ordanary hatch Cost - fairly expensive on repairs, but overall not too bad Fun Factor - Tons of fun if you dare to go there!

October 9, 2010I owned a Coupe-Cabriolet Astra (Twintop) from 2006 to 2009. I fell in love with the styling at the first sight. I would park the car, pull up a chair, sit and smoke a cigarette for hours, watching and admiring it. And I still find myself looking at it's photos from time to time. All the world seems to think like myself because whenever I rode it, people were literally falling inside, drooling over the looks and making oblivious comments. The second I retracted the roof, all hell broke loose! It was impossible not to get embarrassed because of the attention I got. Rear seats were cramped, but who cares anyway. Also the trunk was actually quite large for a cabriolet but I managed to fill it with my sound system and made it practically unusable. So I had a storage problem. But the biggest frustration was it's performance. You get a decent 105hp engine and put it on a 1600kg car and what do you get? Bloody tears. But it had a lot of potential because after you've sped up to 4th gear and beaten the gravity, the car accelerated effortlessly to factory limited 200km/h. I've seen a lot lighter cars that can't do this. Albeit, after chip tuning the engine I was able to get 170nm of torque and it changed the car's performance drastically. It was a lot faster and responsive but still not like my focus.
October 5, 2009the car is spacious, gets lots of kilometres pr liter, its a diesel. got it in a really nice price. had low milage when we got it. the car is very good to drive. could reccomend it to anyone actually. ;)
