The VAUXHALL TIGRA (2004-10) 2DR COUPE 1.4I 16V SPORT AC is a compact, two-seat coupe-cabriolet with a folding hard roof, not a conventional family hatchback. It offers open-air motoring in an affordable, easy-to-park package for the UK used-car market. Mycarcheck.com records 11 checks across nine VINs, a modest sample rather than a broad market survey. Checked cars averaged 67,000 miles, about 6,000 miles annually, and a private-sale valuation of £1,100. The average was nearly five previous keepers, so checking the individual car’s history is worthwhile. This Tigra best suits singles or couples wanting a distinctive weekend car or manageable runabout; its two seats make it less suitable for families. The 1.4-litre petrol engine is simple to live with, while air conditioning adds comfort. Against rivals such as the Peugeot 206 CC, the Tigra stands out for its coupé shape and folding roof, favouring style and sunny-day fun over rear-seat space.
