2017 Suzuki Ignis vs Volkswagen Up! - Budget car showdown

[@johnarmstrong6940]

My daily drive is a 25 year old Suzuki, the most reliable and cheap to maintain car I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned VW, mini, and Pajero. About to buy my wife a car in this segment, and we test drove them all, Ignis was the best. The UP has the well built feel VW offers, but lacks space, low on the road and has back windows that are fixed and cannot wind down, even on the 4 door. Ignis has auto windows all around and more space. Most importantly for me, I looked in the engine bay and was relieved to find an easy to access, simple engine to work on, so when 5 years is up, I can personally maintain the car if we choose to continue with it. I believe the UP is belt driven, so you can bet when your 3 years are up, the compulsory belt change at 90 000 km is gonna set you back some cash. Ignis is chain driven, probably lasts 200 000 km plus if car maintained well. Our VW polo hatch gave us wheel bearing humming issues all its time with us, and I believe VW has a general problem with this in their hatches, so expect the UP to do the same.

Many complains about the back side of the ignis, but it's cool in fact it's just crying out for spoilers, sport wheels and some front fenders. It's a bit like the FIAT 🐼 in oriental style.

Great review!

[@p4ulobrien]

Great review! I like the new guy 👍

[@brucelee1987]

I personally would take the Ignis. I however am biased. I own a Swift and love it. Also, my parents haven't had the best experience with VW. But it's just me :) Up is far from a bad car!

[@nl3712]

Agreed. VW’s are hugely overrated.

[@Mr.word1995]

Starting to really love him

[@wesselerasmus9997]

One should not underestimate the Fuel consumption in that Up! Its ridiculously good and is the only car that can actually do better than what VW actually claim. I've seen better than 4.6 to the 100!!!!

[@themav7232]

Nice review with a clear and concise presenter thanks.

[@redwhitegaming5070]

I love my ignis car

[@prannaymittal4355]

Same here

[@pieterniemandt212]

Why was nothing said about the Up 5 star safety rating? Rather go for the better solid built UP!

[@weetbix2083]

VWs are not well made. They look well made but do not last very long without incuring huge maintenace costs!

[@stijnVDA1994]

Actually the rear seats allow for a heap of headroom and legroom..

[@elmavandermerwe4253]

The Suzuki looks cute from the front but holy crap the back ha ha ha ha

[@lucas30509]

A very good and decent review. Cheers!!!!

[@edwardmazibuko3608]

Wish you threw in the Hyundai Grand i10 though

[@MansoorSmith]

Love the susuki

[@jan-louisvondempter1533]

I’m currently 18 years of age and I must say I absolutely adore my 2015 VW UP! (Style edition). It just offers so much in a small package. With a beautiful rumble on start up as well as when you put your foot down. The Suzuki just seems incredibly boring compared to the UP!

[@bosse641]

UP! GTI would be my pick.

[@ferrumignis]

John Grytbakk The GTi isnt a budget car though, its going to cost at least 50% more than a basic UP!

[@nl3712]

Until the engine blows...?

[@ronch550]

I like the Suzuki's front end but the overall shape of the car just seems a little weird. The interior feels spartan because of the minimalistic center stack. Like Suzuki just slapped a tablet on there.

[@kitlai768]

The Ignis is a very good fun car 🚙

[@GoutPatrol]

Informative, thank you

[@89tuber]

Cool dude. Nice review.

[@sunilsahulinga2724]

[@dorzsonszki]

Hello, i was watching all the channel videos they are so professional, great job but, can we get a Mercedes A45 Amg full review?!

[@alveshannaicker5038]

Great review I like the up where is ciro de siena I'm missing his reviews 😢

[@Gucciskits]

Why doesn't he get in the back sooo we can see the legroom space ???

[@tampubolonevelyn7271]

Mini cooper founder name is Sir Alec issigonis. Is name ignis related to Issigonis? But the purpose he made mini is to create cheap small good gasoline cunsumption car. Same with my ignis. I use this ignis in indonesia petrol tipe since 2018 that use AGS matic transmition that actualy manual transmition with computer so has only two pedal. Very valueble money car with price same as the cheapest toyota or daihatsu car in indonesia we get the Nexa car branded from suzuki in india. Imported to indonesia. Very top in gasoline consumption in indonesia 17 km/ L in trafic jam, quiet car , good looking exterior and nice interior design, we get extrem Air conditioner panel, LCD monitor music player JVC. I like using AGS transmition we can use manual that can fast aceleration in city and use automatic mode in highway. In maintanance fee and oil is 1/ 3 daihatsu or toyota. Body plat ignis is so thick, more thick than the highest price Toyota car Fortuner SUV. Ground clearence is high so match with the majority bad road in my country. Before i use Daihatsu Sirion hathback low ground clearance that often body repair because road condition. Since 2018 until now 40.000 km

[@clintonbaloyi6598]

Great review, well done.

[@howardkerr8174]

A months worth of groceries....provided you don't have any dependents. Thanks, that gave me a laugh. BTW, I am surprised that the quoted trunk space for the Suzuki is (marginally) greater, sure you got that correct?

[@musaceletv6596]

Well done Fransisco again.

[@matimbamkhwanazi8071]

Great review

[@timmythakur5403]

My opinion sazuki is the value of money.

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

Does anyone know the song at 1:38?

[@anagh3223]

Nice n practical comparison.

[@sohailgabbur1189]

Very good review

[@tmantbos8805]

great review

[@rahulbr12]

Do review on ford figo 2019

[@weetbix2083]

Susuki for peace of mind. Modern VW's are nothing but headaches.

[@springbok4015]

This guy is great

[@sahelhabashieh]

I like this guy!

[@user-jn7bq8wh1e]

A VW consuming less fuel than a Suzuki?!😲

[@Molife1life]

Yes remember it's a 1.0

[@steverahardjo3221]

ignis!!!

[@kyleturner433]

Mate you could have put your seat back in the up.

[@eagle1effi]

2020 /2021 facelift Ignis III is great. In highest trim Level 5 stars for Security. Now with Mild Hybrid 11% better fuel consumption, 3.9l. New powertrain and better climate scores.

[@paulfaber4135]

Compare standard safety equipment, Ncap ratings, resale value, amount of service centres. Compared both with road tests. Vw built quality excellent. Suzuki felt like cheap budget car.

[@weetbix2083]

VWs are known to fall apart. Suzuki may not have that percieved premium feel but without question will outlast a comparable VW and cost less to maintain.

[@madfrank7972]

I'm sure that Trevor McDoughnuts son ..great review Suzuki for me vw up looks old

[@lehlogonolomaringa3213]

Awesome review! I'll take the Ignis thank you 👏🏽

[@Munnikalec]

Why don't you wear REAl shoes.

[@akash7seven]

Nice video. Short n swt.. :)

[@Snanana15]

to understand the Ignis look, take a look at his grandpa, the Suzuki Sc-100 / Cervo

[@carlibrown1208]

IGNIS

[@van_der_lindeDA]

if you buy a vw product in sa then don't complain when its stolen....

[@rnburley]

The rear of the Suzuki though... Looks like a dog about to take a sh...

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

CPT_ROB First time I saw it I thought someone had crashed into the back of it.

[@dillie3222]

LMAO 😂😂😂😂

[@johanslabbert2869]

No. At the end of the day you need a safe car. The Ignis, with only 2 airbags and no traction or stability control, falls far short of the modern norm. It may be better in certain areas, but the lack of safety equipment makes it impossible to recommend. And for not pointing that fundamental difference out, this review gets a zero.

[@flyingfox8586]

They all have ESP and an equal amount of airbags vs the UP.

[@sizwenzama3614]

that suzuki is abit different then the up or i10 it's looking cool I must say

[@josemj4746]

Suzuki is very bad car

[@eagle1effi]

The Front grill and three extra Assistent Systems make Suzuki perfect now. In Europe.

[@nikhilnadasan6028]

its city cars which you mentioned many many times ,so why not give us the consumption figures for city driving, also we dont care about the comfort on a long boring road, again how are they in the city, pointless review

[@leoseries]

Ignis. No contest,

[@Haddedam]

Up was such a piece of trash. Boring to drive, suv seating position and driving dynamics, deliberately designed to make you take it to the dealership instead of diy and they cant even cover up metal on doors. Lazy lazy lazy design but people praise it cause it has a vw badge. Meanwhile suzuki is actually good, fun, light, engaging, reliable and easy to work on. Frankly everyone who gets an up is a fool.

[@zwaimazwi2522]

For a second I thought that was the bmw i3...

[@pieterniemandt1098]

The UP! Just handles waaaaaay better.

[@juanswart3775]

Should I trade my Fiat 500 for an ignis!! The back is so ugly

[@becirhamulic8053]

Suzo bolji 100%

[@henrybyrd5402]

I am over six feet tall with looong legs. There is no contest for me. The Ignis is the roomiest small car that I have ever driven.

[@jiznvaramthesupergamer5809]

suzuzi I love Me Car :D

[@sphesihlesekeleni5844]

Both these cars are stupid expensive for what they offer

[@riazpatel4544]

I’m

[@pholelamapeyi4589]

i'm tryin to understand why wou'd i pay 190 grand for a Suzuki...! /...let alone pay 170 grand for a vw 1 liter engine......

[@TheshBuilds]

The Up! is a lot safer.

[@bontlelethetsa]

Theshen Thaver and cheaper

[@satishchandgoyal461]

Suzuki cheap quality and vw high quality craftsmenship is obviois Suzuki is tier 2 company which manufacture shit.

[@weetbix2083]

You know shit about cars. Suzuki will outlast and cost half the amount to maintain than VW who are masters of perception deception.

[@zook4886]

Go Suzuki, awesome.

[@jeroenjansen2709]

Drive a swift and i might get an ignis for my wife

[@eagle1effi]

Suzuki 2020/2021 facelift with Highest trim level will win now clearly. 11% less fuel efficiency. Better Mildhybrid now.

[@sagevoxo6431]

Wish they sold the awd ignis in africa

[@bonisilemgidi3896]

How much is Suzuki paying you?

[@rajangulati4242]

Out of these two, ignis wins IMHO.

[@martinnikolovski9676]

Dont let this guy to make a review, he is not real...he should talking about mobiles

[@przemon81]

Suzuki is a joke 😂😂😂

[@weetbix2083]

No people who think VW is a good reliable long lasting product area joke.

[@bigblackballs8893]

He said the Suzuki is an SUV.

[@iybtif]

Great review.
