I love these small hot hatches. Back in the mid to late 80's I worked for VW/Audi, PSA dealership when Golf GTIs, 205 GTI's etc where flying out the showrooms...my job was visiting body shops and insurance assessing damage and supplying parts. Personally I went for the ohhh so awesome MG Metro Turbo. Where it lost out on the top end speed it made up for on the back roads of Cumbria, When I drove with my mate in his Astra GTE he used to make me go in front as he could keep up no problem at all as he was faster but if I was behind I seemed to be constantly up his arse pushing him and he hated it! I'd love another Metro Turbo, but the truth is I'd never drive it like I used to and that's how they need to be driven....like you stole it from the Mafia and they're chasing you 😂😂😂

Those cars are amazing. I had two back in the early 2010s. The 1.5 M15 engine is a slightly higher tuned version (110hp) of the 1.5 engine from the Suzuki Swift 1.5 GLX (102hp). So you'd imagine it less fun than the Suzuki Swift Sport 1.6 (123hp). Wrong, these cars were set up properly and the engine revs much happier. The gearing is shorter and close ratio and the suspension in these blows away the Swifts. Cracking little cars and becoming quite rare.

Bought it back in 2003.brand new, still own it and I love it to bits 😁 Been everywhere and done everything. Everyday use, long trips, I tracked it a few times and it was killing way more powerful cars in a tight course. Gave and received chase with anything on twisty mountain roads, I even took it off road on a spring trail with the Vitara Club. It's been an absolute hoot and totally unbreakable, only standard servicing and consumables. Roomy, with enough vertical glass for a huge aquarium, sips gas like a monk sips tea when you want to. It will die of age with me... I'll have to disagree though with the statement that it's not fast. From a stand on good tarmac it shoots off like it was thrown from a catapult 😄

Guy Wilks drove the Ignis to win the JWRC category in 2004,he just made it with his age to drive for Suzuki. I remember it well when i worked for Suzuki and still got the promotion/advertisement board we had in the showroom. Such an underrated quick car. The Toyota Yaris T Sport was a close rival & competitor.

Hi Chops a reply to your question on yesterdays video..Iv only started car trading around a year ago..so no commercial premises yet still trying to get by with a few flips I make slowly progressing in getting better cars never got a loan so doing everything with my own personal money so it’s a bit harder when you only got a limited amount but we all start somewhere, hopefully things start picking up and I get my own commercial premises soon, hard work pays off so I need to make sure I put more effort into my business in order for it to be successful. I deal with a lot of categorise vehicles which delays the process in getting cars ready for sale

I don't like the engine. The 1.3 gti was better. The 1.5 doesn't rev and has no torque under 3,5k . Maybe reprogramming the ecu can fix that, but the air intake is tiny, so that migh have to be adressed too and then there is the ignition,.... it should be right from the beginning. Suzuki knows, how to do tiny hot-ish hatchbacks, they kinda screwed it up with this one.

Not going to necessarily say better, but you've got to try an MG ZR with the 1.8 lump. They have no business being so fun. They even managed to pull off the 1.8 in the 75 so imagine what it's like in a 25/ZR! Even the 1.4 is nippy and very revvy. Just a little bit plain. They still have 103bhp which is pretty high for a 1.4 The 1.8 is about 120 Or you've got the ZR160 which is on my bucketlist. A tuned 1.8 giving 159bhp and about 170nm torque in a car that weighs not much more than 1000kg! Use your imagination for the rest They're getting hard to find but a decent ZR160 is still less than 3 grand

@@graemefisher7014 Not sure. I enjoy the car and would struggle to find another if I regretted selling. I got it cheap but those are the cars I need to make money on as if I buy cheap sell cheap I have no buffer for when I buy cheap and end up spending big and making nothing, e.g Focus. Think would have to be £1500 then after VAT and Contribution to expenses I'm still at around £500. But that would be spares or repair to a Business/Trader. Can't sell that way to consumers.

I had 2 1.3 vvt petrols. Absolute loved them. They dont rust like the rustwagon golf and passat since the used the same steal at the time. Only downside for me was the speakers in the dashboard. Only problem i had between both my ignis was crank sensor (common problem). Would love an ignis sport as weekend thrasher for the countryside.

It's kinda impressive that the new suzuki swift sport isn't that much heavier than that ignis. The ZC33S weighs 975kg, and it has all the modern safety equipment including all the radar based stuff as standard.

Exactly. It's a set of computers on wheels. These Ignis Sports are raw, hard suspension, close ratio gearbox. Nothing like modern cars. That's why they have a passionate cult following.

Well retail is about £2250. Private £1800k so trade in is about what I paid. Think about 4 tyres, an MOT, a service, a warranty, 20% vat and other unexpected costs and thats easy £800 off the sale price.

@@Davidand-Goliath In that case Parkers is incorrect, which isn't unusual. I've heard this myth repeated many times over the years, perhaps Parkers is responsible for this. The engine is a Suzuki M15A engine. The Yaris T-Sport uses the 1NZ-FE. Both 4 cylinder engines making around 105bhp, but easy to tell apart as the Toyota engine has the inlet at the front and exhaust at the back, the Suzuki is the other way around.
