How much did it cost to replace the alternator? I have the 5 door version of this car (2003) and have some rough idling when starting it cold, sometimes stalling all together. But the issue goes away after driving a bit. I replaced the spark plugs but that didn’t solve it, so I’m wondering if it’s the alternator since you mentioned it’s a common Suzuki flaw

I've had my Stag for about 5 years now and she never stops putting a smile on my face. Someone asked if I had a good sound system in her and I said yes, it's called the engine (it does have a radio, but I turned it on once, too see if it works and it's never been on since). Really good review lads, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

That is a awsome story about a radio that was obsolete because it was in a great car. Thanks for your comment and compliment. We will have new videos soon. Have a good one 👍🙌

I heard that the Ignis has a relatively high step-in height (is that the right term?) in other words the seat is somewhat higher compared to other compact cars making it easier to get in. Is that indeed the case for this model/year?

Yes it's the case. It's a little higher up than for say a swift or comparable car. Have a good one 🙌👍

Yes, you're right, it's one of the most beautiful, elegant British cars ever made. And so distinctive. Michelotti got the interior and exterior design perfect from every angle, just as he did with the TR4/4A/5/250 and you're right again most new cars on the roads today are so boring and dull, especially electric cars which all look the same and don't make that beautiful V8 burble. BTW the reason Triumph kept the indicator sounds so quiet is so that it doesn't distract from the beautiful sound of that V8 exhaust :) Nice original condition and color, the only points I would disagree with are your wheels and steering wheel. The originals look better. Those rims were made for minis and IMHO don't look right on the Stag. Again, Triumph got it perfect with the original alloys which were designed for that car and the 2500S. IMO the only non-standard steering wheel that looks okay in a Stag is a Moto-Lita. You can even get the s/wheel boss with the Stag logo.

The triumph 3.0 v8 is good enough with the correct maintenance.. mine never goes beyond halfway on the temp gauge. As much as I love the rover v8 engine soon as you put one into a stag you’ve ruined it. Needs to stay as a TV8 plus it’s one of the best sounding v8s around!

At 17 I bought my first car, a 1.4 Alfa Romeo giulietta and it is amazing. Since buying I’ve installed the full leather seats (a major upgrade over the cloth ones), installed a ulter sport muffler and just overall cleaned the car up. It’s a 2013 so headlights, interior trim and badges etc were getting old so yes cleaned all of that up and my giulietta is now an absolute stunner which drives as good as it looks.

Very different type of review. Makes a change from the boring clinical car reviews from most others. Good work. I haven't driven this car, but I will put it in my shortlist as well. A work colleague of mine had a 1.4 TB MultiAir with manual gearbox. He had an early model (probably 2011 or 2012). He used to change his cars every six months to a year, but he kept this Giulietta for a good few years. He really enjoyed it. His only complaint was occasional rattles in the car interior. Economy wise max he ever saw from this engine was around 44 to 48 MPG (imperial) on a long run.

Well done guys, a fresh approach to reviewing the Stag. It's funny, for a car that had such a bad reputation for reliability and quality in its day it now stands as one of the most popular classic cars of any era. And that is because of all the characteristics you have captured so well in your review. I have had mine for 11 years and I can tell you it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, whether to the shops or on really long tours. It's like a good wine, it gets better with age and it travels well!

I am going to correct you about the Triumph/Rover V8 issue. The Rover at the time was only available with an automatic. thus it was not considered suitable for the sports tourer. The Triumph engine was actually a far more modern design with OHCs. The wheels are from a mini cooper?

Spen King, and other guys who worked at Rover/Triumph/BL have said that they wouldn't have produced enough Rover V8s and Triumph already had this well on the way, it didn't occur to them to not use it. - and it's not a bad engine - more revvy / sporty characteristic as standard. Just needed the right coolant and a header tank.

ha ha you guys are funny. I like how much you like the car. I'm glad you got a good one to drive. When they are that old, sometimes things can be messed up and not work so well. A couple of comments - you mentioned the modified cooling system with the electric water pump. But it appears to me that the original carburetors have been replaced with something different as well. Maybe that's a good thing? Opinions vary. But it must be a good thing because you liked it. Also - the steering wheel, that is not a stock steering wheel. It is much smaller diameter. The ones from 70 -72 were HUGE. But even the later ones were not as small a diameter as the one on that car. But again - a small steering wheel is probably a good thing because typically the power steering is very over boosted. So a smaller steering wheel should still be quite easy to turn, even if the modern tires are wider. All in all a great video. Loved how much you guys liked it. (I'm sure you'd get used to the 4 speed transmission shifter in a short time.)

The music is a style choice we made. We are considering also recording the engine and exhaust while we drive but that involves a lot of cables to get out of the view. The sound from the car on the mics we wear isn't that good for engine sounds. But thanks for the feedback! ❤️ We try to make our productions as good as we can, but still make it doable next to our fulltime jobs. As one thing becomes normal to us we add more into the proces. The making of an episode at this point totals at about 40 hours. So slowly more engine sounds will appear in our video's. As fulltime television audio engineer it's good or nothing for me 🫠

Let me to give some notes about this lovely shit box from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Back in 2006 I was a Technician Trainee and I was having my training in a one workshop which shared the same facility for 3 brands. Citroen , Suzuki (Japan) and Land rover. At that time the sole agent for mentioned all 3 brands is a single owner. This same car can be seen in 3 different names. Suzuki Ignis (brand new Imported via agents) Suzuki Swift (JDM) Chevrolet Cruise (JDM with some changes in body styling) From my experience , the both Citroen and LR owners sending their vehicles with many types of repairs and maintenance , Suzuki owners came only for services and even after 50000kms many didn't have even a single oil leak. I believe if some one who gives attention for his bank account rather than keeping his social status in a car , he must buy a Suzuki or Toyota.
