Suzuki Ignis Hatchback 1.5 Sport 3d (2004/04) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I am with everyone else on this. You simply will not find a quicker, more entertaining package for the money.
Costs
Surprisingly expensive at the pumps, but this is probably because most of us buy the Ignis Sport to thrash the pants off of it!

On the road
Performance
Again, for the money, the package you get in terms of the handling, pace and robustness is second to none for the relatively paltry amount you are paying.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet, and I have had mine on long runs, constantly, for almost 2 years now. Servicing costs are about average, but the Japanese engineering means you shouldn't have any need to use the decent length of warranty.
Image
I love it. Unfortunately, the image is very hit and miss with the general public. Younger buyers would rather opt for the dull, lifeless warm hatches, with supposedly more style, such as the Mini Cooper, but a true motorsport fan will know the difference!
Comfort
Basic, spartan interior, but this is not what the car is about. Anyhow, the Recaros do a good job of both cosseting the driver, and making bypassers aware that your car is a hot model!

Security and Service
Security
Again, reflecting the other comments, the immobiliser is the only real deterrent for thefts...the keyhole does look rather inviting to screwdrivers.
Service
The customer and support services are of a good standard. Not been disappointed yet.
