]]> Comment on Vauxhall/Opel Tigra Twintop 1.4 16v by William Elliotthttp://www.convertiblecarmagazine.com/buyers_guide/vauxhallopel-tigra-twintop-14-16v/#comment-7328 William Elliott Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:13:53 +0000 http://173.236.41.66/~convert/?post_type=car_guide&p=1207#comment-7328 We bought our 2006 "one owner from new", low milage 1.4 Tigra Exclusive in June 2009 and have been extremely happy with it from the day we picked it up from Vauxhall. I am 6'4", plenty of head and leg room, good size boot, even with the roof down. Economical, £130:00 to tax, low insurance, easy to park. So far, has sailed through the MOT's and serviceing. Went to the Algarve and back in 2010 and what a great drive it was, relaxed, good comfy seats, excellent sound system with the roof down. I/we would recommend a Tigra, its a fun car with the roof up or down, fantastic heating system as the roof is down on dry days throughout the year. Most certainly have another one if the were still being made.

]]> Comment on Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet by William Elliotthttp://www.convertiblecarmagazine.com/reviews/nissan-murano-crosscabriolet-review/#comment-7327 William Elliott Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:27:33 +0000 http://173.236.41.66/~convert/?post_type=reviews&p=2025#comment-7327 I so agree with Leigh Still "bring the convertible Murano to the UK". I know its not the same, but I had a Suzuki Grand Vitara Convertible which I really enjoyed and had no problems with. There is nothing to buy in the UK in the way of a new SUV Convertible. I would like one Nissan, there is a market here in the UK for this car. I so agree with Leigh Still “bring the convertible Murano to the UK”.

]]> Comment on Mitsubishi Colt CZC3 1.5 by Derek Nashhttp://www.convertiblecarmagazine.com/buyers_guide/mitsubishi-colt-czc3-15/#comment-6724 Derek Nash Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:03:52 +0000 http://173.236.41.66/~convert/?post_type=car_guide&p=904#comment-6724 Hmm. Funny car in some ways. Pig ugly with the roof up but not too bad when its down. Massive boot and not too bad when the roof is down. (As it's only a two seater, unless you have two children under 5 y.o. or have legless hunchback midget friends, there's always the back seat space for a lot of soft luggage.We bought a CZC3 as my wife fell in love with it on first sight in the dealers showrooms. (I paid, she drives, mostly.)Well planted on the road with a firm but comfortable ride. Acceleration is not that great for a 1500cc car but it gets there, eventually, and I have seen 120 mph on the speedometer, obviously not on English roads, and it was still very stable and a six hour drive was not too wearing even with the roof down, with the wind deflector up, most of the time.. (That works well.)All in all a pretty positive experience. Solid, all round car for two. Apparently unlimited road holding, just wish it had more power from the lazy lump of an engine. Oh. Pretty embarrassing to be seen in for a bloke. Absolutely no street credibility unless the sun is shining and the roof is down and even then, it's looks are a bit iffy.. Hmm. Funny car in some ways.
