The Cascada was Holden’s version of a four-seat convertible produced by then sister brand Opel in Germany.
On sale from 2015 to 2017 it’s powered by a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine driving the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.
The line-up currently starts at $36,630 for the Cascada (base) and ranges through to $43,560 for the range-topping Cascada (base).
The DPF is supposed to automatically regenerate, but it sometimes won’t do that if the car doesn’t run at high enough speeds to generate the temperature required. That usually happens because the car is just being used for short trips and doesn’t regularly get a chance to run at higher speeds on highways or freeways. Running it at higher engine speeds in lower gears might be one way of getting the temperature up, and you could run it to 3000 rpm without any danger, but it doesn’t seem like a good way to fix the problem.

The new Holden Cascada will be perfect for you. It's the spiritual successor to your Astra but a better drive and more classy. I'm sure that, like me, you'll give it The Tick

The Holden Cascada is designed for four adults rather than the usual '2+2' convertible layout. Legroom is somewhat restricted in the rear so compromises between those in the front and back will often be necessary. However, Cascada's interior is significantly better than most in this class due to its long body. With the roof lowered, wind buffeting and noise is minimal, even when the windows are down. As shown in our road test review images, Cascada features perforated leather seat trim and Holden's 'MyLink' multimedia system with a 7.0-inch colour screen in the dashboard running sat nav and Stitcher and TuneIn Radio apps.
