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.

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

I seriously doubt that this statement is true.

The fact that the link is Classie Puff might sum it up? haha

I seriously doubt that this statement is true.

What? That VW has better built quality than BMW?? That's been known for the last 2-3yrs. I mean...just look at some of the Audi models, quality is second to none.
