The VAUXHALL TIGRA (2004-10) 2DR COUPE 1.4I 16V SPORT is a small two-door coupe-convertible for buyers wanting open-air motoring without a larger car. Its folding hard roof gives it a distinctive coupe look when closed and convertible appeal when lowered. In the UK, it is a niche alternative to hatchbacks. mycarcheck.com recorded 663 look-ups across 373 VINs, a sample of checked vehicles. Average private-sale valuation was £700, with 77,000 miles recorded and annual use around 4,000 miles. The average keeper count is just over five, so check each car’s history carefully; figures describe checked cars, not every Tigra for sale. The 1.4-litre petrol Sport suits couples or solo drivers seeking a commuter and weekend car, rather than family practicality; rear space and luggage room are limited. Its compact size and open-roof character set it apart from small cars, while rivals such as the Peugeot 206 CC offer a comparable concept.
