 jamie370's recommendation | |
Looks good, drives like a dream, economical, huge boot, nippy when needed and most important not another boring hatchback.
Lack of internal storage - no door buckets, glove compartment is tiny and shelf underneath is useless plus my model has no remote locking.
I've only had my Tigra for a few weeks and it was my first car. I love it! It's an automatic and so a dream to drive and kickdown is really meaty when needed. Nippy mover, the car looks fab and is really comfortable to drive. I wanted something that was unusual - not a standard Hatchback which everyone seems to have and this was perfect. Good price and looks Sporty. So far no problems. I was lucky in that it's an S reg but only had 20K genuine miles and was well looked after so interior was like new. It has Air Con (not needed that yet) and good sound system, great to blast the music whilst speeding down the motorway. The back seats are small and only OK for short people or kids but I did not want a family car or people mover so that does not bother me at all. I would thoroughly recommend this car to first time buyers. Insurance is high (classed as a Sports Car even though only 1.4i) but shop around I got mine from Bell Direct, much cheaper than anyone else.
Enjoy!!
