Detailed analysis of the Opel Tigra TwinTop Rosso 1.8 16V · 125 CV (2007-2008)
General description
The 2005 Opel Tigra TwinTop Rosso 1.8 16V is a coupé-cabriolet that promised fun and style in equal measure. With its retractable hardtop, it offered the versatility of a convertible for sunny days and the security of a coupé when the weather wasn't cooperating. A car designed for those looking for a touch of excitement in their daily lives, without sacrificing practicality.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of this Tigra, the sensation is one of agility and lightness. The 125 hp engine, while not an abundance of power, moves the car with ease, allowing for 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 9.4 seconds and a top speed of 204 km/h. The steering is precise and the suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with torsional element at the rear, offers a good balance between comfort and sportiness. With the roof open, the wind in your hair and the sound of the engine, the experience becomes much more exciting, inviting you to enjoy every curve and every kilometer.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Opel Tigra TwinTop is unmistakable. Its compact and sporty lines, with that Rosso touch that gives it an even more passionate character, make it stand out. The retractable roof is the protagonist, transforming the car from coupé to convertible in a matter of seconds, a true spectacle. The 17-inch wheels with 205/45 R17 tires give it a robust and dynamic presence, while its contained dimensions (3921 mm long, 1685 mm wide and 1364 mm high) make it ideal for the city and for getaways on winding roads.
Technology and features
At the heart of this Tigra beats a 1.8-liter 16-valve gasoline engine, with indirect injection and variable intake, delivering 125 hp at 6000 rpm and a torque of 165 Nm at 4600 rpm. The 5-speed manual transmission is responsible for sending power to the front wheels. Although it does not have the latest technological innovations of today, its mechanics are reliable and proven. The braking system, with 260 mm ventilated discs at the front and 240 mm discs at the rear, guarantees effective braking. Its combined consumption of 7.7 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 185 g/km place it in the DGT's C label.
Competition
At the time, the Opel Tigra TwinTop faced rivals such as the Peugeot 206 CC or the Nissan Micra C+C. All of them shared the philosophy of offering a compact and affordable convertible, with a retractable hardtop. The Tigra stood out for its sportier design and its 1.8-liter engine, which gave it an extra performance boost compared to some of its direct competitors. Its 440-liter trunk, even with the roof folded, was one of its great assets.
Conclusion
The Opel Tigra TwinTop Rosso 1.8 16V is a car that evokes freedom and the pleasure of driving. It is a vehicle that, despite the years, still maintains its charm and its ability to bring smiles. Ideal for those looking for a fun second car or a first car with personality, which allows them to enjoy the sun and the outdoors without sacrificing the comfort of a hardtop. A great little car that left its mark on its segment.
