Yea guys. I looking into buyin a Ignis Sport f.used before they become to old to bring in, but I want to know, what you all like and dont like much about them.
Right now my choices down to a Ignis Sport or Yaris RS. Seeing that i only owned zukis in the past, i wanted the ignis sport, and it looks better than the RS too. So lemme know Very Happy

Oh btw i want to know how it performs stock.

Thanks.

Ignis Sport for the win. Twisted Evil

Hey man, buy the ignis sport hands down. Ofcourse i own a ignis so you may think i am biased, but the ignis really is the better car. The equivalent yaris to the ignis sport is the yaris t-sport, its basically a toyota ignis sport, but recall suzuki has JWRC credentials and have won the JWRC with the ignis sport, so i would be buying the ignis sport.
I love my ignis sport to death, trust me you will too once you drive one. Also recall the ignis comes stock with recaro seats, carbon fibre effect panels, leather stitched steering wheel and gear knob. The gearbox is a joy, sleek and smooth and the high compression 1.5 vvt engine is no slouch, it gets to 6omph is 8.9seconds.
As for your concerns on how it performs stock, just look at the results from the last few solodex events and you will see Wink

. Mine is bone stock, other than a custom intake and the car is very competitive as is straight from the factory.
This is the last year to get them f used, since the latest model is 2005, oh mine is one of the few foreign used ones in the country, bought it last year and never looked back

Now saw you asked what i like and don't like. Well....... the things i like will be too long to list Laughing

, as for bad things with the car ummmm.....

The suspension is a tad stiff, so on some of these trini roads it really is bumpy so any women in the car might be giving you an earful, i have learnt to live with it though and its that suspension that helps me at solodex. Other than that well the gearing is short and so 100kmph on the highway sees you at 3200 revs in 5th so it is a tad noisy, but then if you were looking for comfort you wont buy an ignis sport.
One last thing, to make things even better, its great on gas you can get over 400km on a tank if you keep your right foot in check Laughing

, and you MUST use premium gas in it.

If you have any more questions on it feel free to ask

One more thing, they only come in white from japan. In japan they call the car a swift sport with chassis code HT81s. All other ignis sports that are NON-JDM, are referred to as ignis sport and have chassis code HV81S. There are some slight variations between the two models, so if you want one that says ignis sport at the back you going to need to get one from singapore like mine. The yaris cant handle as well as the ignis, the only thing the yaris has on the ignis is probably a VERY slight straight line speed advantage.

IMHO, I'd have chosen the Vitz RS (given the options). Shocked

A little more aftermarket availability of parts from Japan (if you can call thqat availability Laughing

), plus I prefer the interior.

The ignis is still probably better in the corners.

If you were open to more "higher priced" options, I'd have said a March 12SR (Autech), or even the newer Vitz RS (if you could get one), or a Swift Sport. Prices for these cars are still >100k TTD if shipping from online auction though.

chris1388 · Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2009 11:12 am Post subject:

yup over 100k, and the ignis sport offers just as good as any of them and is much cheaper. And yes, that is true about the mods, the yaris might have more after market stuff.
The interior of the ignis besss Laughing

, the yaris cant beat back them recaros Smile

so was d difference between the Singapore Ignis Sport and the Japan Swift Sport, besides the name and chassis no. Laughing

chris1388 · Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2009 3:19 pm Post subject:

There are a few interior differences, for example i think the positioning of the stereo and the A/C controls on the japan ones are opposite to how they are on the the non-jdm ones. Also, the i Think that there is a slight difference in mapping of the ECU, and the JDM model is thereby rated at 115bhp while all other non-jdm ones are 109bhp. Other than that its the same exact car
