With the growing trend of the roadster GM have followed Toyota’s lead and cut the top off the latest version of a popular small coupe. The Tigra Twin Top is a fun little sportscar. Vauxhall/Opel took their time to develop this car and it seems time well spent. Unlike the old Tigra which looked like a coupe but drove like the Corsa hatchback it was based on, this model has a more sporting drive. The ride is refined for a small convertible and for a small car the luggage space is good even when the roof is down. It’s still not as fun to drive as it looks but it is great value and both practical and economical to own.

I love my Tigra. Mine is a company car and the second one I’ve had, I would have had a 3rd but am gutted to learn Vauxhall have stopped making them. It is small but perfectly formed and loads of fun especially with the roof down. It seems compact but a passenger over 6ft assured me he wasn’t uncomfortable. I prefer reverse parking and initially found the restricted rear window view awkward; it’s fine when you get used to it but I did go for parking sensors on my 2nd Tigra. When I have to renew whatever alternative car I end up with, I hope they have a new Tigra on the market, because I would definitely want another one.
