Vauxhall Tigra

[englishpigdog]

Hi I'm looking at maybe buying a tigra but I'm worried about how much room the have in the front. I haven't looked at one yet but don't want to drive 60 miles only to find out it's too small. I am not very tall but I am overweight (quite fat actually) Dh is 6' 3" and would also need to drive every now and then. Anyone know how big they are in the front say compared to a peugeot 206 ?

Hiya,

I've had 2 Tigra's and now have a Peugeot 206 gt... so I can help you with your questions here lol

Tigra's are very small and very low!! I'm only 5ft 2 - they are very snug cars, and to start with you will hit your elbows on the inside of the doors, no storage at all in the doors just a glove box..so unless you are getting a convertible and your DH doesnt have the roof up he will be fine... other than that he will really struggle with his knees hitting his chin!! They are a hell of a lot smaller inside that a 206

Other Tigra traits is they HATE being stuck traffic... they will over heat, and the brakes are not that shape you really have to push the pedal down hard to actually stop

hope this has been some help

Thankyou so much, I really like the look of the tigra and the one i'm looking at is a bargain and so shiney but it does sound like it would be a mistake to buy (should be a sulky face really)

LOL they are fun cars, really fun, but a compact pain in the ass...why not find one locally....even if you cant afford the one they have... pretend.. have a sit in it and see how you feel :-)

I bought a civic instead.
