Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£1,300
When did you buy the car?
September 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
£1300 was a good price for the Suzuki Ignis: coming with some Service History, lots of Road Tax, full M.O.T., & reasonably low mileage.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Seeking a car that was reliable, reasonably priced, being sold by a reputable dealer, & having some Service History. Thankfully, this Suzuki Ignis matched expectations.
What was the dealer like?
The Independent dealership- run by a husband & wife- was genuinely welcoming, efficient, & the couple listened well (as indicated by the appropriateness of their answers to our questions).
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Ride is mainly comfortable, except being bone-shaking over speed humps & potholes (& we do go slowly over them/try to avoid them--- & this is with the suspension being in good condition). Starts reliably daily.
What's it like to park?
Easy.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The Engine Management light illuminates when a less expensive, Universal Lambda Sensor is fitted- whereas it does not illuminate when a more pricey Suzuki Lambda Sensor is fitted: skewed to sell more Suzuki parts.
What's most practical about your car?
The fact that it reliably starts well daily.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
None.
