Faults:

Less than a week after purchasing my car, it broke down. After being recovered, I was advised that there was a fault on the immobilizer! I took the car back to the garage I'd purchased the car from who said they would get a car electrician to look at it. I was told there was nothing wrong with it. A week later I had to be recovered again and this time I took it to a main dealer. The immobilizer did have a fault and was repaired. Luckily this was done under warranty.

A week later I had to be recovered again! This time the starter motor had gone! This was also done under warranty thankfully.

I broke down on the 23/12/02 on the M1, was told to lock my doors by a nice police lady until my breakdown truck arrived. All of a sudden the hazard lights stopped working and things started flashing on my dashboard (even though the ignition was off!). I had to call the police, who had to jimmy the door open with a screwdriver enough for me to squeeze the key through the window to let me out! After being recovered to my garage I was told that the tension pulley on the timing belt had snapped and it had completely wrecked my engine! It's still being repaired, and I have been quoted £1500 for the repairs. I've been told it's a common manufacturing fault with these engines!

The clutch and accelerator pedals have always squeaked loudly!

General Comments:

The car is beautiful looking with a very nice interior.

It has all the extras, electric sun roof, electric windows, CD player, ABS breaks, power assisted steering, alloy wheels, tinted windows etc..

An excellent way to lose £5000 in a year!

Faults:

ABS light stayed on, the dealers didn't know the fault, despite connecting it to the computer.

Brake cylinder failed.

Water leaks into the car.

General Comments:

This car has not run right since I've bought it. Don't recommend anyone buy this piece of crap.

I can see why they stopped making these things.

Faults:

I've had to have a new exhaust, new brake disc's and pad's, and a new fuel filter, but nothing that you wouldn't expect, or have to have replaced on any car. It is a bit heavy on tyres, but that could be the way I drive it?

General Comments:

I love my Tigra, it is Fast, fun, reliable and good looking. I am only 5'3" and it is the most comfortable car I have ever had! I can reach all the pedals comfortably as well as being able to reach the radio and gear controls with out having to stretch. The paint work is brilliant, the stearing is fantastic and the brakes are brilliant! I would buy this car all over again! I tested the Ford Puma and it didn't even come close. This car is a drivers dream, it is comfortable, stylish and GORGEOUS! It is economical and brilliant value for money, I haven't had one day where I have regretted buying it. I'd like to have a different colour one for every day of the week.
