Absolutely............its all pub talk though, if your comfortable driving a girly tigra then go for it

surely whatever the weight distribution is, will be slightly biased by a big v6 engine?
i say go for it though, imagine the look on a lot of bigger car drivers faces when a 'girly' tigra roars past

Indeed.
The ka convertible is a perfect example.
Obviously targeted at homo-sex.
I'd say they made a direct hit.

The Tigra is much more of a girls car than the Corsa. I dont think they look as good either.
Stick to the plan of an MV6 Corsa

I think the main thing that hasn't been mentioned is the interior dimensions of the Tigra.
These have obviously been taylored around the requirements of the small framed female.
I once managed to get in the driver's seat of a Tigra. It was like being in a coffin. I could not move to operate any of the controls and it took even longer to extricate myself from the horrid little thing.
I can however, drive a Corsa comfortably, and would not, and have not been ashamed to be seen driving one.
Incidentally, any car that can have it's name abreviated to sound like that of a posh girl or a pussy cat (Tiggy ), should not be driven by a man.

i lik them, i'd have a puma before a tigra though, Wouldn' really care if people thought it was a girls car. Both look well when subtly modded.

I dont deny that the Corsa is a bit of girly car as standard, but so are Saxos, 106s, any small hatch is!
Just saying the Tigra is even more of a girly car than any of them

Ford aimed the Ka primarily at the female market. Volvo had a group of designers headed up by women to deisgn this:
