1998 Opel Tigra Sport review from France
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust forming in the engine bay.
Reverse light globe blew.
Exhaust system isn't well attached.
Brakes had to be replaced when purchased.
Electric windows had to be readjusted as they did not close properly.
General comments?
It has a fair amount of power and torque for a 1.6 litre car.
The zippy engine makes it a joy to drive on the twisty bends and seaside roads of France.
However the car feels to strain at higher speeds in 5th.
The gears are stretched out far enough.
But for the price it's a very enjoyable, attractive car.
