Advantages: Cheap and easy to fix, cheap tax/insurance for coupe looks

Disadvantages: small back seat and boot

My girlfriend has recently bought a 96' N reg Vauxhall Tigra.
Its purply blue, 1.4 Auto. Only covered 55 thousand miles.
From the outset, the car looks in great condition. Only a minor scratch that i was able to buff our with t-cut not affecting the paint.
We have had various problems with it in its first few weeks.
First of all the orange engine light come on which could be a number of things. We put it in or diagnostics. Turned out the sensor to turn the fan on when engine too hot was not working.
£13 and a 5 minute job later, and the problem was fixed.
Then after a long 50 mile ish drive, when pulling onto the drive, noticed how much louder the car sounded. The exhaust had a blow in the mid section. Back to the menders for a new mid section - £50. Then we and all our poor neighbours were rudely woke at 6am Sunday morning. The car was screaming its horn at us. Not the alarm... I unlocked the car and started it up but with the horn sill going, so lifted the bonnect and took the live terminal off the battery to kill it. Another £5 and a new Horn relay has fixed that problem.

No, fingers crossed, its going to be a great little car!
The girlfriend loves it! It is a girls car afterall

Summary: Nice cheap little coupe for the girlies
