I love my little Ignis
Nothing really, only renewed tyres.
The car is small and nippy.
The seating is higher than other cars I've had, so good all round view.

Excellent
Everything have been working excellently.
This car is really easy to drive, with excellent visibility because is a tall car.
The 4 wheel drive ensures a safety driving, even with bad climate condition.
The seats are comfortable, and it's roomy enough, even tough it's a small car.
The trunk is not roomy, but you can recline the back seats, and it becomes big enough.
Excellent motor and steering wheel, even tough the acceleration is not as quick due to the traction.

Fun, nippy, small, and classier than a Nissan Micra
Only one slight glitch, the driver side automatic window refused to open in hot weather for the first 3 weeks I had the car, but this has sorted itself out now and it seems to work fine.
Very nippy and fun to drive at low speeds around town, but it struggles a little on the motorway (60mph +), suspension a bit bouncy too at higher speeds, rear boot space is minimal, but rear seats easily fold down to give more luggage room, interior looks okay and I like the rev counter, we opted for the yellow exterior - which looks sporty and fun.

Despite my nit-picking, I consider it good overall
Nothing.
The cup holders are useless for all, but small sodas.
It's ridiculous to have manual windows in the rear - all windows powered next time Suzuki!
Steering should have the tilt adjustment.
Outside mirrors are too small - huge blind spot. The Swift mirrors were bigger.
The engine output is a bit underwhelming - and there are no other engine options. Being used to a Swift GTi I guess I am disappointed in the 1.3 DOHC (M13A) because I am comparing with the G13B.
Body shape - very nice... and it looks great in Bluish-Black Pearl.
Radio - POOR. No bass and the rear speakers don't have the req'd effect. Next time face the front speakers downwards.
Suspension was surprisingly good for a car in this class.
It is quite inside and out - very good Suzuki.
Tray in trunk is a very good idea.
Finally Suzuki turned the spare, valve side up.

A fun, but practicle car you will volunteer to drive down the milk bar to get the milk!
Clutch adjustment nut slipped.
I forced the ashtray into its receiver with out checking the setup and now its stuck.
Fantastic. Versatile and practical. You must pay the extra for the 4 door to receive these benefits.
Security and keyless entry great.
Stereo is rubbish. For 2002 model vehicle it is ridiculous that Suzuki still haven't worked it out. Most of their models have dud stereos and or poor speakers/positioning. The rear speakers are high mounted in the rear pillars so sound isn't muffled by cargo, but no base at all. Absolute pain to put better speakers in this position and sound still not great. Front speakers are just tweeters. I am looking at mounting new speakers in the tail gate.
No adjustable steering either - bearable though on two 800km trips.
Seats are good.
Motor fabulous. as per Suzuki standard, very zippy (60kw in 900kg car) with good gear box combo it can push back in the seat just enough to scare older people (I'm 35).
Annoyed with clutch accelerator combination when changing gears - clutch is either in or out and accelerator is either on or off making it hard to drive smoothly. This problem was not evident at the start so we will get that fixed. (pleasure to drive originally)
Does feel a little top heavy when cornering hard around town, but fine on the highway.
Tyres could be 10mm wider and the hubcaps are ridiculous.
I am 1.9m tall and plenty of room for car of this type.

Hmm, Did you know there is a recall for the fuel regulator? I have rough idle and stalling related to this, have not gotten around to changing it yet, but look into it.
Purchased my 2002 Ignis in September 2004 second hand, within a month experienced a transmission problem which was subsequently addressed (manufacturer problem). Problem recurred in approximately two months and to date still without vehicle.
Transmission parts were obtained from Japan, unable to solve problem... VERY Disappointed...Love my little Ignis.

I have never seen a turbo charged Ignis on this island yet.
