A fantastic little car. I own it for 12 months now and never had any complaint on it. It’s a small all arounder i use in the country side. Hilly roads, not perfect tarmac, a lot of snow in winter and this is just perfect for the money

Glad you agree! It’s a great little car!

On my second Ignis Auto now. The 2023 is much improved from my previous 2018 model with improved steering and the mild hybrid addition. The CVT is much better than the Auto gear selector that it replaced although I would have preferred a conventional automatic box. I tried all the small city cars before I chose the Ignis but rejected them all. The closest rival was the Hyundai i10 but this had much less leg room for the driver (I am over 6ft with long legs) and rear passengers. It didn't have room for a spare wheel either, which the Ignis does. I regard this as essential. On a recent long journey the ignis returned an average of 65mpg with my average speed of 55-60mph. Around town I get 52mpg. A small thing that I like on the SZT model is is the wind down windows at the rear because I always used to open them by mistake when opening the front electrical ones.

The great thing about the wind down windows in the back of the Ignis is that they are positioned so that driver and front passenger can operate them by just stretching their arm behind them

Love these little big cars. Loads room in the boot, levy for school bags, sports gear, suitcases, it's very deep and plenty of room. Turn ons a penny funky colours, great display, multi position front seats, nippy and very easy to park. Fun to drive

Totally agree

excellent review on a great little car. we went with the slightly 'bigger brother' Vitara as we do more motorway miles. nevertheless, kudos to suzuki for keeping cars relatively small and narrow; it just makes sense in the uk.

Probably the best and most comprehensive review on the Ignis I have seen..And I’ve seen a few… The only negative was it would have been good if you had put the car in ALLGRIP mode on some muddy land, and given us your views on how it handles in that situation. Never a serious off-roader, of course, but it would have been interesting to see the system employed somehow during the review. I own a 73 reg SZ5 ALLGRIP version, and opportunities to use it in ‘4WD’ to date have been rare. Delighted overall with the car.

I would actually recommend the CVT gearbox over the manual for the Ignis - the 4 cylinder engine sounds nice when combined with a bit of CVT rev-hunting and there's no performance penalty. The mild hybrid assistance also counters the occasional rubber banding on the CVT so overall it's easy to drive.

@@copaloadofthis Yes, I test drove a manual Ignis first, then test drove a CVT Swift, because there wasn't a CVT Ignis available at the dealership. The manual Ignis was quite easy to drive because the gears were quite notchy and easy to find. However the CVT is far more relaxing and works well with this particular engine.

There’ll be a button somewhere if you can, but honestly can’t remember off the top of my head. Maybe ask your local dealership.

I have a top spec cvt and they have certainly improved on my old ford escort that used the daf system. One quirk is if you hold the car at a traffic lights on the footbrake the engine turns off for petrol saving but if you put it into neutral it comes back on. It's very quick away if you put your foot down. One surprise for a euro spec car, there is no heated wing mirrors or rear intermitant wash wipe that my previous Splash had. Both cars are Suzuki Swifts (same engine) in disguise. The Ignis doesn't have a coin tray or spectacle case holder that the Splash had. I did purchase a spare wheel on the recommendation of a RAC breakdown driver.

I've seen some of them where I live (in Paris, France). But there are much more Fiat Panda 3 and Citroën C3. I just spotted one Picanto and one Hyundai i10. I'd say, french people are practical people who just want a city car that is as much roomy as possible for the price !
