If you want to drive an Opel with the top down, the Cascada is your only choice.

The Cascada has the same floor assembly as the Astra, but everything else is either borrowed from the Insignia or designed specifically for the Cascada. Opel regards the Cascada as a premium class car. For example, it is exactly as long as the Mercedes E-class convertible: 4.7 meters. The Cascada convertible comes in three gasoline and two diesel versions. We tested it with the 1.6-liter gasoline engine, which packs 147 kilowatts and accelerates from zero to 100 kilometers an hour in 9.2 seconds.
