1997 Vauxhall Tigra review from UK and Ireland
"Good for scrap iron"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust disintegrated, door check strap broke, secondary air pump thing rattles its head off, roll bars squeak, handles terrible, and to top it off the cam belt and its tensioner have just failed 300 miles from home in the fast lane of the M27.
General comments?
This car is rubbish, don't buy one.
