We say A nippy little cabriolet that's fun to drive. But loses marks for a cheap and outdated interior.Performance All engines are eager to rev and have enough power for the Tigra but in terms of pure performance, the 1.8-litre 123bhp petrol unit is the most fun to drive, clearing 60mph in 9.1 seconds. The smaller petrol units are a bit of a let down and feel underpowered.Emissions Emissions hover around the 140g/km mark on most engines in the range with fuel economy sitting between 40 and 50 mpg. The most efficient engine in the line-up is the 1.3-litre CDTi unit that returns more than 60mpg and emits 124g/km in CO2 emissions.Driving There’s no scuttle and shake to speak of thanks to the stiff body and while the ride is comfortable the handling doesn't set the world on fire because of light steering.Feel Refinement is generally very good, even with the roof down but with the roof up it can feel overly firm in terms of ride.Space Space for two only, but a decent-sized boot for a small convertible with 440-litres at the back.Equipment A CD player with steering wheel-mounted controls and alloys are standard but cow skin and cold air are extra.Price Excellent residuals, superb running costs on the diesel model and good list prices make the Tigra a winner in the money stakes. List prices start from around £14,000 and peak at a little over £17,000.Quality Engines will be strong but the Tigra is disappointing inside where cheap materials litter a drab interior that looks incredibly dated.Safety Four airbags, rollover hoops and ABS are standard. Traction control is an option.Pros The Tigra is a cheap way of getting your hands on a convertible. It’s a decent all rounder and comes with a good, frugal diesel engine. There’s also plenty of luggage space with a 440-litre boot.Cons The Tigra is disappointing inside and is quite poor to drive as well.Alternatives Peugeot 206 CC, MINI One Convertible, Citroen C3 Pluriel, Daihatsu Copen, Mazda MX-5, Mitsubishi Colt CZC, Volkswagen Beetle Convertible
