we had a Suzuki ignis for 10 years
was given to us
made of tin foil
but I never broke it
5 speed box
0-30 in about 2 seconds 0-60 in about 4 years i.e nippy in 1st and second leisurely in the rest
did 80
not a relaxing drive but you couldn't get it sideways
body roll approx. 1/2 of that in a 2CV puts most people off trying to go fast round corners
it had a new battery once that was it....
I wasn't a sympathetic driver
usual granny/grandpa fodder
anything from 1000cc to 1300 cc
Vauxhall rebadge wasn't as good
can't think they attract massive insurance
group 8 like the Kia
was actually sad to see it go. got £1K trade in I recon I was done
got a lambretta in the back with the seats down and its engine and forks removed (the lambretta not the ignis)
it was black so I played the A team theme loud enough to be heard from outside
always raised a few laughs.
it was actually a competent little car with great visibility and easy to park, being postman pat van shaped
mine had the towing package as well...it could tow a trailer as long as you didn't put anything in it.
PS TIMING CHAIN yay no belt no belt No belt every 3 years + pulley + water pump + tensioner etc etc
