Tigra Twin Top

Opel Agila AI

This car is for people that like to stand out. The new Tigra is equipped with an electro-hydraulically folding roof of steel structure. So that its buyer receives a sports coupe car and a convertible in one. This model had its premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in 2004. During this exhibition it was awarded a title of "The Convertible of The Year 2004".

 As Mr. Forster, since 2004 a president of the GM Europe, described, the Tigra Twin Top is "an attractive vehicle for the young and the young at heart," hence its dynamic design. Well-designed chassis and a number of details - such as the indicators fitted in the air intakes in the front fender - draw the attention of viewers.

Opel's constructors have taken care of necessary security. Behind the seats the car has got a bow guard securing the travelers against the case of overturning and additional elements protecting against collision. The new Tigra's roof folds and unfolds automatically after pressing just one button. The whole operation takes 18 s. The body is very tight, which allows us to drive comfortably all year round.

Unlike the first version of Tigra, the appearance of the interior is consistent with the rest of the car. Colors and elements such as metal pedals render the interior sports-styled. The seats are comfortable and provide a lot of space. But merely for two passengers - because such a number of seats have been planned in this model.

The roof can be hidden totally vertically, so that the Tigra has a spacious trunk. When the roof is folded -  250 l. And when we unfold it, the capacity increases to 440 l. By adding to it the glove compartment behind the front seats with a capacity of 70 l, we get quite a decent space to use - 510 l.

This model is offered with two quite good engines 1.4 l ECOTEC and 1.8 l. ECOTEC (90 HP and 125 HP). Both units offer pleasant and dynamic driving. Tigra is a small car with the suspension quite hard, that's why she is nimble and keeps the road at turns.

One thing is certain, Tigra Twin Top is not a car for everyone. But if you are looking for something of this class, it's worth considering the purchase of this car.
