Are you ok?
Leave OP's thread alone with your pointless posting of nonsense..
If you just said "Dont particularly like the look of the car personally but each to their own GL"
Would of been better..

How would you rate the ride on a scale of 0 - 10, with 10 being luxuriously comfortable?
I'd say at first it was a 2 but now I've reset them possibly pushing a 5. There bearable anyway.
I looked back over the history on sisoc and found that 3 members have owned it and the Gaz coilovers have been on it a while so they are well overdue a refurb which wont be helping.
I'm thinking of putting them up on sisoc for swaps with a standard set up.

Hmmm... Tempting!
It's just the knocking which is doing my head in but at the minute my broken exhaust is drowning that out. Lol.
I'm in 2 minds do I throw cash at it replacing some suspension bits or just cut my losses and sell it for what I paid.

I have been tempted by one for so so long.
Only thing I dislike is that horrible webbing in the recaros.... can you just chop it out?
Trying to decide between one of these, a ph1 or a fiat 100hp.

I too don't see what everyone else is seeing. The red 197 was great mind

I think that's the appeal. If you get it, you get it and you love it. If you don't, you're just confused. Get a go in one and it may sway you as I was a little meh till my mate got one and I've just found them funny since!
Also lol at already "enquiring" about coil overs. Only a matter of time till it's dropped on some ProRace3s and it's being abused on track!
You modded the air box yet?

I really like the engine and the box shape but the rear suspension design is criminal and limits the potential of the car.
Apart from that cracking little car.

I'm inclined to agree, although they perform better than most people think anyway

In hot greek bumpy tarmac the rear was very twichy without going that fast. I first thought that it was tyre pressure issue but the owner confirmed my feeling.
Maybe in the UK with better quality tarmac is better.
The engine though is a gem
I was that close to buy it when new.

The Ignis suffers from S1600 syndrome.
It was a S1600, it looked really cool as a S1600, and I want one. Even though it's not a S1600.

These pics aren't actually new, I just forgot to update the thread. Wheels are on but I'm going to wait to fit the coilovers when the weather warms up...
Pretty pleased with the Ignis to be honest, it's nearly everything I need from a car although I do hanker after a second car again (which is what I'll probably end up doing). I'm still undecided whether to take this to the 'Ring or buy something bigger with cruise control, perhaps something like an estate that I could get the bikes in easier.

Looks nice and clean Ste, a subtle drop on the coilovers and it will look spot on imo

sounds like you suffer from the same issue I suffer with the twingo...
it does everything I want/need it to, its such a giggle to drive but as much as I love it, it feels wrong to love it and I find myself endlessly looking at mk1 Focus RS, Clio R27's etc as it would seem normal to own it when I had something else as a toy lol!!

Nail on the head, Martin!
I'm 33 years old and after owning various Clio Sports, including a mint 197 and a Civic Type-R... Instead of 'growing up' and going for something more mature I'm driving around in an Ignis instead, and really enjoying it! They're absolutely peanuts to run, so I can save for a house (or New Zealand) at the same time
As you say though, I'm regularly trawling eBay looking for something 'better' lol.

I still need to drive one.

I'd forgotten just how pumped up/bulging all over these things are! Looks great!

Agreed! They just look like they should be driven flat out down little side roads covered in mud all the time.
