The VAUXHALL ASTRA SPORTHATCH-TWINTOP (2005-11) 2DR TWINTOP COUPE CONVERTIBLE 1.6 16V 115 AIR is a compact, four-seat convertible based on the Astra, with a folding hard roof that gives it coupe-like looks when closed and open-air motoring when lowered. It fills an affordable UK convertible niche for used buyers today. It suits commuting, weekend trips and buyers seeking a little more style than a standard Astra, without the size of a larger cabriolet. Rear seats and a boot add everyday practicality over two-seat roadsters, though it best suits couples or small households, rather than larger families needing space every day. Mycarcheck.com recorded 284 look-ups covering 155 distinct VINs, a useful sample. These show an average private-sale valuation of £1,200 and 92,000 miles. Average annual mileage is 5,000, while recorded keepers average just over four. Against rivals such as the Peugeot 307 CC, the Astra’s familiar feel is a key draw.
