Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GLX Manual

The Suzuki Ignis is a unique offering - a tiny yet chunky crossover that’s more urban warrior than SUV, and offers a charismatic personality that’s a welcome departure from convention. But the Ignis needs to be more than quirky to succeed - does it have the right stuff in dynamic terms, too?

Nice review ....helped with making a decision

[@JakobusVdL]

Great review, thanks. I'm impressed that Suzuki can make a 850kg car these days.
And amazing scenery, where is that?

[@RPMTVOnline]

And a manual it is ... we've corrected the specs accordingly.

Hawu! I was expected to see review of an automatic

[@Alfy47]

Thanks for the review. And it would be better if you included the automatic.

Le.suv Ignis est génial mais l'option toit ouvrant panoramique manque énormément. Merci de le rendre parfait. (Susuki )
