Product Overview

Opel Astra G Cabrio (chassis code T98) is an affordable subcompact convertible in production from 2000 to 2005. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.6 to 2.2 liters. GM also sold the car as Chevrolet Astra, Holden Astra, or Vauxhall Astra in select markets.
Compared to the base sedan, the convertible received more attention and was only made with the more powerful among the engine options. It is styled better, too, though the build quality is still the worst that GM has to offer (hence the Opel badging).
