Suzuki Ignis 2018 review | Mat Watson Reviews

The Suzuki Ignis is one of the quirkiest-looking small cars on the road. The tiny dimensions make it perfect for city driving, but the tall-chunky looks give it the appearance of a plucky mini-SUV. But what's it like to live with? Is there enough space inside, and is it any good to drive? Find out in my in-depth review.

Suzukis are just so great no bullshit cars. Plastics, you hear the interiour work, it will get scratched easily...but it's a car that accepts scratches, it's reliable, cheap to repair, practical, it encourages you to USE it, not to polish it.

I just returned from Greece and new Ignis is already widely available at local rentals. Seems like it is currently most popular small car for driving around islands. Small turning circle, good clearance, good visibility, it is perfect for coastal roads through narrow Greek villages, and offroad driving to the beaches. It is pleasure to drive it there.

i like this car. I dont know why... I just think its cool. Not like a 911 or a Mustang cool ... but cool in the way that this car seams fun, but doesn't take it self to "now if you click up

plastic in my Swift is awfull also, but damn, I have near 100tkm and only thing that went wrong in 9 years was 1 burnt lightbulb lol

I've owned one for four months in Australia. Totally love it. Can't fault it.

My cousin in Budapest had a Suzuki Swift 1.3 that lasted 16 years and had a total of 420, 000 km, pretty much all with only oil changes, belts and worn out parts changes. If you think Suzuki is a cheaply engineered car? You are off. A positive attribute not mentioned? On rough roads, you don't have to slow down at all. The height of the car allows you to haul azz over everything. I love this thing...

Suzuki’s become my favourite brand. I think their price-quality ratio is the best on the market right now.

The Ignis was the sort of car the French used to make when they were good at making cars. Cheap and cheerful, full of practicality and neat design features and fun to drive in a slow and roll-y kind of way

I'm a total petrol head. Hate even seeing crappy cars on the road but am an unashamed fan of Suzuki's quirky cars! They make impossibly fun cars to drive. And perfect cars for first time owners with great reliability. Forget your stupid Minis and Fiat 500s. If you want a little car that's an absolute workhorse, go for this. In England seeing as it's summer, you'll def want AWD to provide extra grip on wet roads! :P

The car is fine. Look at the nice headlight design, the practicality, all wheel drive, economic on gas, room for 4...etc. You have to give it to Suzuki. At the end, you are buying a entry lever car.

Need another back, one like the Jeep Renegade, and sunroof.

Ordering one today. It’s the perfect runabout for the winter when the M4 is stuck on the the drive.

This is a brilliant little car, my husband is in the motor trade and this came in last week so I decided to drive it. WOW . Its great on road, lots of fun, massive boot very deep, comfy seats, good visibility nippy looks great. Adjustable seat every direction.

Why does it have adidas stripes...? Slavs will love it though

[prajsisodia]

Just checked out my ignis 1.2 Delta AMT at the speed of 160kmph. It was feeling good. The car can move at little distance, very nice balanced car.

[cheungman]

I rented this car when I was on holiday and surprisingly it’s actually a good car to drive and it’s big inside.

[SkyStarSystem]

Suzuki needs to come back to the us market. There certainly is a demand for compact cars, and it's honestly more attractive than what we currently have for market here.

[jeffwoodcock]

I really like it. Especially the stripes from the classic predecessor. In 30 years this will be a classic.

This Ignis is badass! Mini could learn a thing or two from Suzuki about about "mini SUV". great review!
