My Ignis Sport

[Toka]

Last week, after a year of owning my first car, a 1.2 Punto, I picked up my new car!

Its a 1.5 Suzuki Ignis Sport and i love it. Paid a little over the odds for it but its in decent condition and has 35,000 on the clock. Has plenty of space inside for such a small car, with the exception of the boot but it does pretty much turn into a small van with the back seats down flat.

My only gripe with the car is I wish the seat could go further back being a tall guy (6'4) but the high seating position means I can at least fit in the little thing!

Not the prettiest car in the world but theres a certain something about the looks that attracts me. I love the colour Combo which reminds me of the Tommi Makinen Evo.

Anyways some pictures:

Looks like a good one, I miss mine! Red ones are fastest!

I'd lose the VVTS boot sticker, it looks as if the previous owner was trying to out-VTEC the Honda boys and girls!

Get a CG-Lock, makes a big difference since you sit so high up in those Recaros.

Pretty smart way into cheap, reliable and fun motoring that. I remember Track and Race Car magazine reviewing this when it was new. According to their test, it lapped Bruntingthorpe in the same sort of time as a fully prepared stock hatch race car (Fiesta XR2, Saxo VTR et. al), which given it cost less than £10k new, I thought was pretty good.

Whats with the netting in the headrests, never seen that before

Great car, it looks to be in fantastic condition too.

Suzuki put that badge on all the 05 onwards ignis sports. Not a fan of it either really.

Looks good!

I hate how I'm starting to like these now, used to relentlessly take the piss out of my mates.

It's been there on every Ignis Sport I've seen.

Would like one of these, they're still quite strong money though.

Nice car OP.

[melvster]

Nice car O.P, looks in fantastic condition.

Exactly how mine looked when I picked her up, looks fantastic, get on the clubs and you'll meet some good people.

I don't doubt or question that, just wondering what its function is over having a solid headrest as I've never seen netting used there before, looks odd

Quirky little beast I quite fancy one of these! Good lurking as well OP.

[TotalControl]

Lovely. Are the engines from Toyota in these? The same as the Yaris 1.5?

[vinopete]

that looks like a fun little car, congrats

[caravelle190]

Really nice. Love the fishnet Recaros.

Surely its just cosmetic? I like it anyway

[Chunkymonkey71]

I love mine.

Silver ones are the fastest!

It's seems to be a bit of a retro Recaro throwback, think these look great
