The Suzuki Ignis is a small subcompact car that’s typical of the famous Japanese brand. With a philosophy aimed at providing the maximum amount of interior space while minimising that of the exterior, the Ignis is a very popular choice. Obviously spacious, it’s easy to drive and quite sensible overall, so you won’t get any nasty surprises- but that’s part of the appeal in the first place. Excellent for families or people on a budget, the Suzuki certainly has a lot to offer.
The Ignis was introduced back in 2000 and enjoyed 8 years of production. Available as a hatchback or estate with 3 or 5 doors, the latter offers a significant amount of cabin space. Undergoing several transformations over its life, it has to be said that the most modern versions were considerably more appealing than the rather ‘plain’ and ‘safe’ originals. Overall, the Ignis is a nice little runabout that won’t let you down.
Indeed the second generation Suzuki is a great looking car with its small proportions and ‘rough and ready’ attitude. It really does have a mini 4x4 appearance to it, and that’s one of the reasons why it’s so popular. The inside can accommodate 4 adults in comfort thanks to the insane amount of space, and the cockpit is nicely furnished with some chunky buttons and a well organised dash. While it’s not exactly loaded in terms of equipment, there’s certainly enough to make you take note. The boot is a good size too, and there are loads of storage areas to use.
While it’s not super nippy like some other tiny cars out there, the Ignis certainly isn’t sluggish. The steering is light and sensitive, so parking is easy, and cornering is good as well thanks to quite a bit of grip. With a 4x4 system on some higher spec models, driving with confidence is a given. In terms of performance, the Suzuki is rather mundane, but economy isn’t bad by any means.
What you get with the Ignis is a tiny car that’s excellent value for money, and buying a second hand one from Motors.co.uk can take that to new levels. Eye wateringly low prices combined with an unrelenting approach to only listing cars of very high quality means you’ll have no trouble getting your hands on a bargain. Paying less for a used Suzuki Ignis will mean you get more out of it on a daily basis.
Basically then, if you’re looking for a small car that has all the characteristics of a 4x4 without any of the size or the huge price, the Suzuki Ignis should be right up your street. It’s a great little car that can handle urban areas, open roads and motorways well, and doesn’t cost a huge amount to run either. Comfortable, spacious and simple to drive, it’s got all the hallmarks of something much more expensive.
