tigra is probably faster, more 'boy racer' and newer.

actual performance wont really come into that much. Tigra is a 'sports' car so more likely to be stolen.

old cars have no protection when you crash, and also no security whatsoever. My mk3 XR3i was the dearest car i've had to insure

Jamie a 1.0 corsa isnt the cheapest car to insure though. Old minis, shit spec 106's etc are.

I tried all the obvious ones and the Corsa was the cheapest. It'll be going in my dads name. 4K is just madness!

It's a lottery, based on many things. I would guess Tigras have more claims as a basic rule.

It's all very daft. I paid less on a 98 Corsa because it was "more secure" than a 95. Even though they were quite clearly the same spec, same part numbers on the mechanisms.

Yeah my V8 Disco is cheaper than a Freelander. And nearly twice the power and loads heavier.
