Suzuki Ignis Estate (2000 - 2008) 1.5 GLX VVT 4Grip 5d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

No idea. My husband calls it the Pope-Mobile, but it's more reliable than his car.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

I don't know, although someone did say it looks good.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Maybe, although I do quite fancy a Honda CRV. Still, this has been quite good to me so far and passed my MOT just a few weeks ago with flying colours - the mechanic says it's a nice car!

What are you likely to buy next?

I really don't know until the time comes.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,700

When did you buy the car?

September 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

They put the car up as a "sale" item and reduced it by £300.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I was looking for a possible crossover car which could handle the potholes on the track near home, plus wasn't expensive to run.

What was the dealer like?

A bit cocky.

What's it like to drive?

It's actually quite nippy. It's comfortable for me and I do suffer with backache quite often, but never in the car. It does manage the terrible track which I have to drive down to get home and it gets through snow OK - just have to be careful on ice.

What's it like to park?

No problem at all.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The clutch cable snapped and I can't get the air con to work properly. One thing about these cars is that the headlights aren't very powerful. Oh, the rear screen wash doesn't work now and I can't get at it as you have to remove the front side panel.

What's most practical about your car?

I find it comfortable to drive. I get 250 miles from around £42 of petrol.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

It doesn't have any gadgets as such, but I do like the car.
