1998 Vauxhall Tigra Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"A fun, cheap, good looker with a bit of poke"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
'Bubbles' appeared on the passenger dash pad. Pad replaced with no problem.
Tailgate misaligned - sorted.
Tailgate spoiler badly painted - had to be resprayed (dealers fault).
General comments?
I really don't know what these moaners are on about. This is a relatively cheap, (apart from the OTT insurance) good looker, you don't expect an Aston Martin at this prices!! I have had 2 of the beasties, one friend has just picked up his 5th!! and another his 2nd. Had to give mine up recently (cried) when I became disabled - not enough room for the wheelchair unfortunately. Now have a very sensible Zafira Auto Elegance 1800, not as much fun but a great motor for families.
