Car review in a few | 2018 Suzuki Ignis small crossover

Suzuki really does know how to make an excellent small car, and the new Ignis is no exception. That's assuming you can deal with the looks.
Here's our Mark's take on it.

Just bought one and really pleased with it. Small outside and large inside. Great for around town motoring and the high seat position allows good vision and means I don't have to crouch down to get in. Auto box works well and the car has all the gadgets you could want.

[@HonestJohncouk2000]

Congratulations on the new motor. Hope you keep enjoying it. The Ignis is great. M.

[@AndySnap]

I remember the SC100 Whizzkid, and here it is reborn, even the blue metallic paint! Good to see it's a decent little car too.

[@wolfgangezeh2221]

Howay lad! I enjoy your reviews with a smack of the geordie lingo and look forward to watching them. Keep it up lad!

[@kris8742]

Bet it will be more reliable than VW UP these small Suzuki`s seen to go forever under harsh conditions here in Oz. you know the UP was pulled from the market here no one wanted them.

[@Titus4Jesus]

I wish Suzuki would come back to america. Would buy this

[@LordLauderdale]

Such a good and fun review.

[@GeordiLaForgery]

I think it looks great.

[@dragonoidman]

Suzuki ignis to me just looks like an SUV on pictures...but when you see it up close you realize....damn that's thin and small 😂 love it

[@jezstokes8592]

Why is this insurance group 15? Seems high..

[@Zerofightervi]

It looks like the Suzuki Whizzkid, that's what the 3 creases in the C pillar are meant to refer to. I personally like the looks but I'm a bloke of 6'6, I'd look ridiculous getting in & out of it, probably driving it too.

[@TheKenjoje]

he should have said that, it's important....and while original whizzkid from 70s somehow looks ok for japanese car from the era, the new one's rear is ridiculous, which is a shame considering decent front end.... if it was a person, its rear end could be forgiven because of its front end, but unfortunatelly it's a car ;)

[@obedevert28]

Really good review. Thanks

[@davidknowling9681]

It's a cool little car. Am I man enough to have one though?

[@UKMike2009]

I'm not sure why you keep knocking the styling because everyone I have shown the car to thinks it is great. Chunky, funky and fun. Just maybe not your kind of car Mark?

[@HonestJohncouk2000]

You're right. Most people I showed it to liked it too. I mustn't be comfortable enough in my own skin. :-) M.

[@ForViewingOnly]

It's cool that the guy driving the Ignis brought his sister in to do the studio part of this video.

[@mrsociable1288]

So the Grand Vitara I have is a tiny car?

[@commentguy7]

What a video♥️

[@Oli_Hudson]

Would you be willing to review a van? The VW Transporter or the face lifted Transit Custom? Pleeeeeeease?

[@HonestJohncouk2000]

Yep.

[@MrTrull1]

Very interested in this car but the automated manual rather than proper auto rules me out. ☹️ Why do car makers even bother with it...?

[@igorboyarskyy]

I like your chanel, but not all! I learn english! How do you make videoeffekts?) Very cool! Tank you)

[@NigelRudyard]

Cracking little car - great review. I'd like the top model but that minging satnav is putting me off.

[@letsseeif]

I kind of take the view that people who 'need' to buy big cars/suv's and posh name badges are rather sad. They are signalling. Virtue signalling. Wealth, influence, even sexiness signalling. That said, some people need big spaces. Then again, some are happy with small spaces. (remember the first Mini.) Now, in 2019, take the Suzuki Ignis. Like the Tardis - you know what I mean. Re men and their virility. Some hate the idea of a small car. There's "the transfer effect". It more or less goes, is there something small 'down there?" Well that's not my problem. Au-contraire. Anyway. I live in Melbourne Australia & have seen several Igni (is that the plural?) around the joint. End story -> I need a very small second shopping car, and that's it. ps. Thanks for your pleasant unassuming, rather humorous, not pompous review on this tiny machine.[ps. it's nearly 2020 & we almost all do auto's down here. Something to do with "the nut behind the wheel."]

Where DO they find these characters?!

[@HonestJohncouk2000]

Superman is from the DC Universe, a fictional assemblage of aliens and mutants with superhuman characteristics, each usually tasked with subverting a malevolent enemy (often of similar supernatural traits) in order to restore equilibrium to a specific locale. America, generally. Because all the cool stuff happens there. Hope that helps. M.

[@carlgriffiths1]

Does it have a spare wheel? I'll never buy a car without one!

[@budisantotanoto7003]

Carl Griffiths it has a spare actual wheel (not the space-saver one).

[@harishshah3201]

Can ignis be competible with 37" length mobility scooter with pulley ?

[@clairebannister4749]

gawd what shall I buy my gf then? she needs nav, auto (proper torque converter) . Not picanto (3 star crash)? help!

[@evilmario6061]

Dacia Sandero Comfort 0.9tce

[@galloping5273]

Is the car sponsored by Adidas?

[@chrismingay6005]

I dunno... the name Ignis... seems like it should be an old woman. Don't get me wrong, probably a nice old woman, a bit fussy maybe, but in a good way.

[@tomirving9897]

I don't know where you get the "old woman" thing from. Ignis means "fire" in Latin. That doesn't suggest an elderly lady to me, unless she's warming herself in front of it... :-)

[@nastynorth852]

Engine swap it with a b16 engine and boost it

[@Rapscallion2009]

I actually really fancied a Kizashi (or however you spell it). Until I heard the initials "CVT".... Just no.

[@MillieonaVespa]

It’s a worrier !!!! ...lol lol fuck me I laughed ... I love your reviews ...

[@fischputza]

Nice hair!

[@Grant0610]

You still never look out your rear window as you never wipe it! Ha ha ha ha!

[@HonestJohncouk2000]

This is becoming an obsession, Grant. :-)

[@Grant0610]

:-) OCD!

[@daveh9415]

if you hid your face, you look like a woman with the long hair and the stripey top lol Great review again though :) That face (car now) was on the new Jimny in Japan, don't think it made it over here. Bring back the SJ413, Samurai and Jimny!!!

[@JMB1891]

Looks a great little car but the back end is absolutely bloody hideous!

[@CosgroveNotts]

It's a garbage car in the SZ3 guise . Feel every bump. No seat height adjustment. 1980s heater controls. A radio that's looks like it's just plonked on the dash by some boy racer who loves to devalue his car. Strange flimsy carbon fibre looking cover above the speedo. Horrible black and white interior plastics. Horrible orange bits everywhere in the cabin. Wiper stalk is from the 80s. Lacks traction if you are slightly over enthusiastic setting off. Slightly claustrophobic. Strange drivers seat position. Parts bin special. Positive stuff : good for nipping to be shop in, firm seats. Goes OK on motorway. No idea about noise, just so disappointed that I gave up bothering. Knock a grand off would make it slightly better on the basic model.

[@ampm9771]

Fiat panda is better than this junk, and the other junk made by VW.

[@RoytheLevy]

good review.. ugly car...
