2000 Vauxhall Tigra 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Very fun nippy little hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management light on all the time.
Speedo not working.
Stalling when coming to a stop.
Fuse blowing.
All these problems started at the same time. I changed multiple parts myself, looked over the car time and time again. This went on for 2 months until I sat in the car stressed at the problem playing with the ashtray; I found a 1p lodged inside the lighter... I removed the 1p and replace the fuse and the car worked fine...
General comments?
Had the car 1 year now and has been fine apart from above. I love my car and wouldn't change it for anything else. I love the fact the boy racers around the town look at it and try and race me.. but I leave the little Corsas/Saxos behind.. haha.
Very fast for a 1.6; I've got a K/N filter on it and it sounds sooo nice..
Very comfortable to drive on long distances. reasonable fuel consumption (depends if you have a heavy foot).
I have read most of the posts and see that the problems are mainly with the older models?? Did Vauxhall sort out most of the faults on the newer models before the release of the new Tigra??
