The VAUXHALL TIGRA (2004-10) 2DR COUPE 1.4I 16V AIR is a compact two-seat coupe-convertible, aimed at buyers wanting open-air motoring in a small, everyday car. Its folding hardtop gives it a coupé-like look when closed and a convertible feel when the weather allows, setting it apart from ordinary small hatchbacks. mycarcheck.com has recorded 229 checks covering 103 VINs, offering a useful snapshot of used-car examples being researched. The average private-sale valuation is £1,000, with average recorded mileage of 75,000 and annual mileage of 4,000. Cars had about 4.4 previous keepers, so check each car’s history and condition carefully before purchase. The 1.4-litre petrol suits singles or couples wanting a runabout for commuting, errands and drives, rather than family duties: rear space and practicality are limited. Compared with the Peugeot 206 CC, the Tigra stands out for its proportions and hardtop appeal. Before buying, check roof operation, service records and wear.
