Vauxhall Tigra 2006

2 star review

I fully agree with other reviewers, a nice car, but just made to use in dry weather. I got this car 7 month ago. The car dealer where I bought this car from is really far away from being honest, althought it is a very well known car dealer here in Co. Down. (First he sold me a defective car; breaklights not working and the roof made strange noises when it went down etc.) I went to him and told him about the problem of water behind the passenger seat in the Tigra. Nobody there was able to find the problem and they wanted to bill me £300 for stripping the interior with material costs on top of that. Pure robbery! I decided not to get the car fixed and instead our neighbour found the cause of the problem; water was getting in through the speakers. The problem is not completely solved, but we are at it and for less money.

Vauxhall Tigra Exclusive 2006

2 star review

After driving numerous cars and all being different manufacturers, I decided to try the Tigra, mainly for the way it looked, what a mistake! It drives like a bag of spanners, the back end is way too heavy (due to the mechanics for the convertible roof) for a smooth pull-off with a 1.4 engine. The handbrake sticks after being parked up for a while. The car leaks on drivers side, even after being very careful to keep the seals clean and free of debris, I have just opened the boot to investigate where the water is getting in, only to find the carpets covered in mildew and sodden in the boot too. I am absolutely furious after spending the last 2 hours trying to dry it out and remove the mildew. I will never again buy a Vauxhall, they have blinded me with a car of good looks, but in reality I’ve got a very expensive skip! Vauxhall, you should be ashamed of yourselves, yet again the great British public are being ripped off.

Vauxhall Tigra Exclusiv 2006

4 star review

I have my car 4 years now with 17,000 miles on the clock. I’ve had no bother with it at all other than a rubber boot that was needed when it was due its MOT. It is the 1.4 (Exclusiv) version and I’m sorry that they are no longer being made as I would buy another new one. I believe that the fuel consumption to be reasonable and although not the quickest car on the road it is suitable for my needs.
