"A very sporty car for the price"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Big end broke at 40,000 miles.

Seat belt broke recently.

General comments?

This car is very quick for a 1.4 16v.

I love the sporty design of this car

and it is very aerodynamic.

This car beats Saxo VTR's in a race and also beat ford fiesta 16 Zetecs. This proves how quick Tigra's actually are.

OK, Vauxhall are an OK make, but the tigra has to be the biggest flop they have ever made.

I Own and regularly drag race a Fiesta Zetec-S 1.6i, and have never been beaten by a Tigra.

U said something like " I Beat a saxo vtr, AND EVEN A ZETEC-S!! "

The stat's for these 2 cars are almost identical.

On paper there is 0.2 sec advantage for the 0-60 time on the side of the Saxo.

0-60 times.

Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6i 16v - 10.0 seconds

Ford Fiesta Zetec-S 1.6i 16v - 10.2 seconds

Vauxhall Tigra 1.4i 16v - 11.5 seconds.

These are the figures on paper.

Are you the same one bloke who's always singing the virtues of you Fiesta? Get over it, it's a nasty little car.

The saxo VTR is not 16v so id be worried about the validity of anything else you just said, if you don't even know the correct engine sizes.

VTR 1.6 8v = 90bhp

tigra 1.4 16v = 90bhp.

Tigra is lighter, so I doubt the VTR is quicker, especially by that amount.

I don't own a tigra, but I just thought you don't no what your talkin about.
