Well im selling my vtr when it comes back and was thinking of getting a black Tigra, any good or bad points about the car
Its on a R reg plate and has 110 miles but they are travelling to work miles, she wants £1800 do you reckon thats worth it?

Too pricey with that mileage, basically a Corsa underneath which to some people is a good thing, to others its a bad thing. Depends what your after.

Stick with the saxo if you go back to a corsa or tigra (with smaller engine) you will reget it. Saxo's are so much fun in comparison

How? Depends where the work is and how it goes there (motorway/town roads)

As has been said, travelling to work miles (unless the means motorway?) mean the engine probably doesn't have much life left in it at 110k of short town journeys.
£1800 is quite considerably overpriced, look on Auto trader.
Oh and you get through cars quicker than Gianluigi does pizza's

Get a Tigra...they're good cars but just not one with 110k. There's plenty out there for less than that with less miles on
