Rite, im sorry for writing another one of these annoying advice threads but you guys are all really helpful and know what you are taking about and i....dont.

So im going to view this tigra tonight

http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/VAUXHALL+TIGRA/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146,N-4294966589-4294966969/advert.action?R=200815307255033&distance=1&postcode=bt235dq&channel=CARS&make=VAUXHALL&model=TIGRA&min_pr=&max_pr=&max_mileage=

what should i look out for when viewing it?

Also do you think they are quite girly?

This will be my first car.

Also ive checked the insurance and it comes in at £1500.

Thanks very much for all your replies in advance.

Cheers.
