Vauxhall Tigra 1.8 Sport

OPEL TIGRA 1.8 gasoline is a funny car for a young man. Acceleration is impresive and for not too much luggace is a pretty car.

Not suitable for a family only for the young ones.

The Vauxhall Tigra 1.8 Sport is great value for the money, looks great, no problems in electrics or mechanics so far, sills filled with water, easy fix, unblocked drain holes,have yet to visit a helpfull vauxhall garage, charge you funny money just to look at the car never mind try and fix it, great fold down roof and you still have good boot space for shopping ect.

The Vauxhall Tigra 1.8 Sport looks great, but what a nightmare when anything goes wrong. It's been back to the garage 9 times for the boot as it has a intermittant fault where the boot stops about 6 inch down, drive shaft went one saturday night, leather on seat flakes and yesterday passsenger window would not close.

Having owned my 56 reg Vauxhall Tigra 1.8 Exclusiv for 7 months, you can imagined how upsetting it was for it to catch fire whilst driving to work at the end of August. There is a fault which has been reported in 53, 54 and 55 reg Corsa's and Tigra's which when the ABS wiring gets wet can cause fire. I am now without car and it is yet to be seen whether the issue is now being seen in 56 reg cars as well.. buy with caution...

A great car - shame about the fire risk..

Having just traded in a Nissan Xtrail for a new Tigra I am amazed that I find it roomy enough considering I am almost six ft tall. The Sport version is definitely a must, with its extras such as alloys, alumunium trim, sports steering, etc, although standard models are not to be sniffed at. This car turns heads! Sports suspension is standard, road handling is good and its a fun drive - the roof folds into the boot in less than 20 seconds and still leaves enough room for shopping. If you chose not to have the roof down you have room for a suitcase at least. Quite possibly one of the best looking cars on the road - test it and you'll be hooked.

I would certainly buy another Vauxhall Tigra again, they look like a sports car, but are cheap on insurance, but do be careful when buying one as i have had several problems concerning my brakes. but don't all cars have their problems?

I have owned my Vauxhall Tigra for around 6 months now. I admit, it was the Tigras' exceptionally good looks that made me choose it, but I was impressed with the car's performance. Unlike most, I was not expecting a racing car - it's a Corsa underneath! The engine responds quickly and growls seductively, the brakes are, I admit, a bit on the soft side but once you're accustomed to the feel, you know they'll be there when you need them. The steering is excellent, no under or oversteer, nice and easy.

I think most people looking at the Tigra expect it to match up to cars in a totally different price range. The truth is, it should be compared with the small hatches. Against rivals in the same class, it fares extremely well and wins hands down in the looks department.
