Push a button and within seconds over the head opens the heavenly dome. Some cars are capable of something, such as Volkswagen Eos or the Opel Astra Twin Top.
Cars in the coupe-convertible, built on the basis of "budget" a golf class, are quite popular in Europe and America. Perfectly understandable desire to have the car for a walk, a kind of car the day off, especially since this is usually the second car in the family. And many can not afford it, because the price of these toys are usually kept in the range of $ 40,000.
On our roads is much more common convertibles much higher level, such as Porsche, BMW or Mercedes-Benz. With the open top, we usually move the representatives of a very affluent. Convertible golf class for us a rarity. On the streets of Moscow can be found except that the French Peugeot lion cubs with the abbreviation SS. The reason is simple. For the same money can buy, for example, some so popular we have a parquet-type SUV Nissan X-Trail or Toyota RAV4. Especially since it's already full car for every day: the family in it to stay comfortably, and the bumpy road to the suburban house does not become a problem. So in our area won a pragmatist.

Our present subjects - romantic Volkswagen Eos and the Opel Astra TwinTop - utility to boast, of course, can not. Both cars, though each have two second-row seats, but they are more likely to load. Especially the shortage of space there for Opel Astra TwinTop. If an adult man and set out to accommodate the back, then maybe it's only when the roof retracted.
The very process of transforming the roof, which occupies both cars is about 30 seconds, it looks very impressive. But here to enjoy the spectacle by itself will not succeed. Button, which includes a motor electric motor, both cars will have to hold throughout the entire process. Incidentally, the Volkswagen Eos any button is located in a completely accessible place: on the armrest between the front seats. In the Opel Astra TwinTop to have to drag her, she is on top, next to the rearview mirror.

Interestingly, in the Volkswagen Eos you can not just fold / raise the roof, but also use a glass hatch, which Opel Astra TwinTop has not. But the Astra boasts another. To the envy of surrounding multisection sandwich roof can be effectively removed in the trunk on the move, at speeds up to 30 km / h. In the Volkswagen Eos, as in most of these cars, this operation is performed only when a full stop.
For perfect fit and ergonomics in general, ahead of Volkswagen Eos. One of its main advantages - the windshield frame. It is issued inside the cabin to a much lesser extent than in the Opel Astra TwinTop, which greatly facilitates the entry and reduces the risk of injury to her head. Better than the EOS and the front seats pretty comfortable profile, and nearly optimal rigidity. Yes, and Volkswagen Eos interior seemed to us more likeable than the Opel Astra TwinTop.

As for the baggage compartments, there cars on almost equal terms. If, raised the roof a couple of sports bags and you can attach to the trunk, the folded roof takes up almost all the baggage compartment. Come back unless a flat portfolio.
Driving parameters for both the car very well. Under the hood of each of them hides a turbocharged gasoline engine with a dashing a margin of as much as 200 "horses".
However, the acceleration dynamics more like the Volkswagen Eos. Motor boldly enters into the case, and even at 1500 rpm feel a noticeable pickup. Opel Astra TwinTop is not so quick responds to the accelerator, and the transfer switch manual transmission is less clear and smoothly than the EOS. But the drive Astra is better behaved at high speeds. If, after the 5000 rpm engine Volkswagen Eos is already choking the motor Opel Astra TwinTop has playfully spins to 6500 rpm.
Manageability Astra unable to compete with the Volkswagen Eos. And the main reason for that - much less rigidity. Oh where, where, as here constructors Volkswagen Eos had a very serious work. Set of amplifiers and struts body of high-strength steels, high-power beam and subframes provided vehicle torsional stiffness, which is close to the reference. Even with the roof folded there are no scratches of glass or "festivals" body, so characteristic of the Opel Astra TwinTop.
Management of Volkswagen Eos is just a pleasant feeling: on the steering wheel palpable margin of reactive efforts, good feedback and a clear zero. The car seemed to penetrate into the road and even at high speed directional stability is almost perfect. Better Volkswagen Eos and the ride. Small road irregularities, which Opel Astra TwinTop straight passes in the interior, EOS hardly notice it. His seemingly stiff suspension actually proves to be much more comfortable. More like the EOS and the brakes. Dosing force on the brake pedal can be much more accurate than the Opel Astra TwinTop, yes, and ABS enters a more delicate matter.
Perhaps the only thing the Opel Astra TwinTop convertible surpassed his rival, so it is in the design. Muscular dynamic body of this car as something more suited to the definition of coupe-cabriolet. As with a raised roof and an open-top Astra looks equally impressive. Nothing to say, very nice car! Volkswagen Eos against it, perhaps, is fading. However, it is certainly a matter of taste. For us, the clear favorite was still Volkswagen Eos.
