Oh yeah, I can appreciate that, I drive the s**ttest cars known to man just because they're good to drive, but you have to admit, The Suzuki Ignis is up there with the most handicapped of cars.
LOL - harsh...but true. It does look like it needs a 'special' driver I'll admit...tall, boxy, Suzuki badge, agree they do look a bit hideous.
But as Hazza (and you) say, it's all about the drive...and in that area they are 100% faultless, as good as any standard Renaultsport car in my opinion.
Yeah the K&N gives a great sound, but what u do mean by flat spots?.. It's fairly quiet inside the car, but its quite loud on the outside. Got my mate to drive down a stretch of road so i could hear it, and it put a smile on my face when it drove by!
What mods have you done to yours so far?
Flat spots? A point in the rev range where it doesn't pull through cleanly or it hesitates/stutters at a particular rpm/throttle opening?
Mine is still and will remain (mostly) 100% standard. Love the engine, it's revvy nature, peak power at 6,400...I just wish it didn't limit at 6,750 as it's still going very strong at that point. Mine spent almost the entire last tankful between 4,500-6,500 at full throttle...yet still gave 38 mpg :approve:
Going to try and get some in-car video this weekend...see if I can catch what it is about these things that makes you smile constantly when driving them.
