    John,
    I think it will depend on the engine really. Personally, i have only heard one bad story. (You might not want to hear this....) they crumble in a crash.... but that was only one story I heard.

    That model is very similar to the Corsa of the same era, so I'd imagine the same stuff would apply.

    The Tigra uses the same running gear as the Corsa.

    the puma is a way nicer car - nicer to drive and be a passenger in - looks would be subjective but better to look at too imo.

    The tigra is like a lot of Opel stuff designed to look good under engineered to save money.

    LOL, It's a little early for that. He/she's probably just illiterate.
