The Astra cabriolet is new here in Norway and I had a look at it. The car looked dull and old fasion.
I was spesially interestet how they had solved the potensial leak problem at the top of the side windows. And I was surprised... when i opened the door the window wendt down a few centimeters and when i closed the door the window raised again and went up under the roof. A lot better solution than the solution on the 206cc where the window only squeese against the rubber.
My car leaks a bit when i splash water with a hose on the top of the windows. I had my windows raised, and they are no so high that they touch the rubber on the roof when I close/open the door. But they still leaks a bit....

Agree with all your comments Bergen - styling wise the Astra is boring and I don't like the interior either. Agree too that the drop of the windows is a great design as too is the latchless roof with remote.
