My car is the Suzuki Ignis VVT 1.5 rally sport model. Though owning the car over a year now I can say that it was worth the money. The car performs very well for what it is, this due to the close ratio gearbox makes this car quite nippy leaving vtr's and sri's for dead. The interior of the car is surprisingly good for a Jap car, no grey plastics in here, just the finest recaro seats, carbon fibre effect trim there is. The air con will give you frostbite if given the chance. The day to day driving of the Ignis is pleasant if not a little firm. I have upgraded suspension so this could to be to blame. Also I notice that if you are overtaking on a road that has bad camber, the car tries to keep you in lane by tramming the road, then again 17 inch wheels with a 215 width may not help this. My biggest surprise was the insurance costs, for me a 19 year old male with 2 years ncb was 500 fully comp, that's anonymity for you.
Go on and get one if you don't want to follow the Euro hatch crew.
