My mum is looking to change her car - she currently drives a Yaris 1.5VVTi - and likes the new tigra.

Anyone driven it, know what it's like?

Any other alternatives you could suggest - she's looking at spending no more than 16-17k, would quite like a cabrio and wants brand new.

Thanks.

Not really in the price range now is it :roll:

Seems the old man has been talked round - she's test driving the astra VXR this weekend, lets hope she likes it, ive had enough of dealing with salesmen - going to import it anyway :wink:

If ever you need some help with import, I know a car dealer in belgium who can supply you with any make of car (used to be VAG only but took advantage of the new European rules to become a multi-make dealer).

Nice bit is that he also gives discounts to UK customers (whereas dealers on the continent generally tend to not give discounts as they assume you save enough by importing the car).
