I was wondering as i was talkin to rcb on msn about tigra. Was wondering whether the insurance for a tigra will be alot higher then the corsa. As in september i am getting a new car (not brand new) black 1.4/1.6) corsa sport. I will be 22 by then and i think will have 3 years ncb. So would a tigra be still high on insurance.

tigra will be higher as it is classed as a "sports car" because its a coupe, my mate got a quote for her 1.4 16v corsa and a 1.4 16v tigra and the tigra was nearly £300 more!
