Alright, first time ah making ah post in here, but this question has been weighing heavily on my mind for the past week, so ah decide to ask the experts.

I was seriously considering the Swift Sport for solodexing next year. However, after watching the enormous success that Amir has been having, the Ignis cannot be ignored!

Both have very similar Power/weight ratios although the swift is about 300lbs heavier than the Ignis and the wheel base and track dimensions are similar as well. The Swift seems to have the lower center of gravity, but somehow the Ignis still seems to have the advantage (well in Amir's hands anyway) and the Ignis seems to have some more aftermarket parts (please tell me if I am wrong here).

So which is better? Swift or Ignis? Please consider all aspects i.e. parts, maintenance, reliability, aftermarket parts etc... Question

because of the much nicer interior and overall better looks

all out race dedicated car - ignis sport
lighter, easier to modify

^^So I have 2 questions.....

.....wasn't the Ignis sold as the "swift" in other markets? Are the subframes/wheelbase basis of both cars technically the same?

correct .... the "ignis / ignis sport" was the european name and was branded the swift in japan. but the sub frames are different from the 2004(HTxxx) to the 2005 (ZCxxx) models

Another question......Ignorant Ignis,

How do you find the Recaros in the Ignis Sport compare to the seats in the new Swift sport? Better support?

ANd what tyres did the stock Ignis SPort come with? I see that the Swift Sport comes with Dunlop SpMAXX Tyres.....wicked!!! Twisted Evil

Hmmm. I tend to disagree there. Crap = Nexen, Triangle and stuff like that.

Yokohama A07


Yuh mean the Neova AD07???

I thought you'd realise that the Neova AD07's are in a completely different class of tyre to the SpMAXX!!! Compare the Neova's to the RE-01R, or Direzza Sport Z1.

For a street tyre my brief experience with the SpMAXX (test drive) was good handling, low noise, and good all round ride. Not as grippy as my current set of Potenza S-03 Pole Positions on my weekend-er, but gr8 still.

True the tyres were on different cars! But say what eh......... Laughing

But then again, I'm commenting from a streetability point of view. I imagine your taste is something more for 'dex Mr. Green

Orrrrr......now THAT you didn't say in the first post....

Then that really sucks! May have something to do with the size (smaller sizes may not have the same ratings of the larger sizes....applies also to speed ratings).
