CORSA drivers will be able to let the sun shine in this summer. At £11,845 the Vauxhall Corsa Cabriolet is the cheapest soft top on the market.

Apart from the thrill of wind in the hair motoring and a brilliant view of the sky, the Corsa Cabriolet also has power steering, central locking and a 1.4i (Hi-torq) engine as standard. Automatic transmission, alloy wheels, black or metallic paint are available as cost options, and the Cabriolet's roof can quickly and easily be removed in two parts.

Safety and security are top issues for the Cabriolet too. A padded roll cage, lockable glove box, electronic immobiliser, seatbelt pretensioner system, and side impact door bars are all standard.

"Corsa Cabriolet drivers will be the envy of every other motorist this summer as they keep cool by taking their tops down," says Corsa brand manager Jenny Dawson.

The Cabriolet is available now, and with free insurance available for all Corsas ordered before May 21.
