1997 Opel Tigra XE review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Condensation in headlamps. 3 sets of replacements didn't cure the problem. All replacements under warranty.
Headlamp leveller motor replaced.
Oil pump gasket and pump replaced outside of warranty. Water pump replaced, outside of warranty.
Cam belt replaced, as above.
Paint chipping badly.
Latest (15/03/99), cold start problems, due back to dealer later this week.
General comments?
I actually like this car, the look, the way it handles, the economy. It is however a flawed gem, and all the kings' horses and men can't seem to fix it satisfactorily.
