Vauxhall Tigra (2004 - 2009) 1.4i 16V Exclusiv 2d (2008/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Cute girly car, I had a StreetKa before so it's they type of car I go for.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Think it looks nice, but it's a shame the roof/boot doesn't open.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely not! Stay away from Vauxhall, shoddy build quality and don't get me started on their customer service!

What are you likely to buy next?

Quite like the Renault wind or MX5.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£7,000

When did you buy the car?

June 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

No, thought I was as car was low mileage and reasonably priced, but I would soon learn it was plagued with problems! Should've stuck with the Steetka or gone with the MX5 as originally planned.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted a hard top convertible.

What was the dealer like?

Typical dealer, wants your mone but not interested in after sales care when things go wrong!

What's it like to drive?

Nice to drive, good fuel economy and quite nippy for a heavy car.

What's it like to park?

Ok I'm used to driving bigger cars, so not a problem.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Where to start! Car has done 25000 miles Head gasket replaced at 22000 miles Has been back and forth to vauxhall for the last 2 years and is currently with Vauxhall again, who are trying to determine what is wrong with the boot/roof this time, have just spent over £1600 in the last 5 months and have been quoted £2600 for a new hydraulic pump up we'll see what they say!

What's most practical about your car?

Saves me money on petrol and parking as I'm currently using the bus to get to work! It does have quite a big boot, but I haven't been able to open mine!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I would say the roof, but I've never had the opportunity to use it!
