Economy
Value
I was after a convertible that was fun to drive, looked good but was also practical. The Tigra fulfils all those requirements and then some.
Costs
Not too bad - fuel consumption is getting better.

On the road
Driving
With the roof down, the car is impressive with very little shake. It is a lot of fun to drive.
Performance
Sometimes a bit slow off the mark, but generally very good.

Living with it
Reliability
Have had my car for under six months (Parker's have no 05 plate?!) and first small rattles are starting to show. No worse than any other new cars in this class I have had though.
Image
It's a real head turner. I love this car, and even my husband doesn't mind driving it!
Comfort
The ride is excellent on the motorway for cruising, but a little firm on country lanes. So little wind gets into the cabin that on hot days I don't go on the motorway with the roof down any more - you bake in your little sunny airless space!

Security and Service
Security
No problems - the sport comes with an alarm and immobiliser, and I'm sure the metal roof is more secure than a fabric one.
Service
We bought ours through a broker, but the dealer we collected it from was very helpful.
