 snugs's recommendation | |
The new Tigra is a funky looking Coupe/Roadster with excellent handling and lots of nice features. Electric roof is a pleasure to have - roof up or roof down this is fun.
Bad point is of course that it is a two seater rather than a four but hey if you want a four seater you wouldn't look at a Tigra to start with.
Having just traded in a Nissan Xtrail for a new Tigra I am amazed that I find it roomy enough considering I am almost six ft tall. The Sport version is definitely a must, with its extras such as alloys, alumunium trim, sports steering, etc, although standard models are not to be sniffed at. This car turns heads! Sports suspension is standard, road handling is good and its a fun drive - the roof folds into the boot in less than 20 seconds and still leaves enough room for shopping. If you chose not to have the roof down you have room for a suitcase at least. Quite possibly one of the best looking cars on the road - test it and you'll be hooked.
