What do you think?
better than the twin top or not?
nah doesnt do it for me....... 135i coupe anyday.
looks a little strange in my opinion... BMW verts are meant to be bigger (except for the roadster)
I'd say different. I like the astra for the folding hard top. However, it is a BMW, and the ending is more powerful and more fuel efficient, probably in part to the fact the car would be a lot lighter. I'd have to see one in the flesh, it could be a bit of a poof car haha
It obviously has many points about it that are better than the AH twin top :)
But one thing that goes against it IMHO is the use of a soft rather than a hard top...
I love soft tops myself, but it seems these days every new model vert, whether small or large is equipped with a folding metal roof, which seems to be what the 'masses' want in a modern convertible.
I believe this and obviously pricing will affect how successful or not it will be...
i prefer the EOS myself.
Never been a real big fan of Break My Windows all that much.

BUT WHAT IS STANDARD AND WHAT IS A YOU MUST HAVE OPTIONQuote:
its new A3 cabriolet would undercut the Volkswagen Eos convertible by $90. It is the first time an Audi model range has had a lower starting price than a Volkswagen.
BMW argues that the new 1-Series, priced from $52,900 with standard leather, is also line-ball with an Eos for value. The Eos with optional leather upholstery starts from $53,280.
LOVE IT! Have been lucky enough to score an invite to the 1 Series Coupe/Convertible/Sport Hatch launch in Adelaide in a couple of weeks time (I'll report back when I've seen it/them first hand!).
Only problems I have is the scary price (once you add a few options) and the scarier prices for BMW service/parts!!!
mmmm, now that I think of it, I too would kinda go with an Eos over this Beemer vert...I do very much like the coupe model 1 series though.
Prefer it O/A and I have no doubt saying the VW would have the far better build quality....
Only the top model IL6 TT would have it over the Eos in terms of performance, but then it's price as Ian alluded to would be scary and being a vert over the top performance is really not what they're about anyways - reasonable performance will do with a vert as their cruisers, not bruisers :)
