I never understood why people criticize a cheap car for having a cheap interior I mean it's a "cheap" car if you want something nicer your gonna have to spend extra money. And no cars in this class has a soft touch interior there all hard plastic which is expected at this price point
@@sandertu8366 those cars are not meant for luxury my dude get that right and if you want great interior you need to retrieve a bit more from your wallet to get those things which you won't as you are seeking luxury in normal less expensive cars.
@@amasseenessen8636 Luxury is something id rather avoid because its useless, But to refocus your response, complaining about things, like he is, even on low end vehicles can improve the quality of the low end vehicles. What we as consumers are expected to do is buy the smart choice and to do that the "price value" of a prosuct is expected to be high. Do conclude, if you dont complain you can expect all car prices to rise and the companies profits skyrocket, or the low end cars to be the worst shit cans in existence and still cost an arm an 2 legs.
In this review you say the Ignis' doors don't open very wide, and yet unless I'm mistaken in your own separate review of the same car you comment how they almost open to 90 degrees making it so practical?
@@99ron30 they were clearly attempting to down play the Suzuki by making a point the doors don't open very far by messing about with a child seat , instead of pushing the doors as wide as they do actually go , 90 degrees to the body
Nissan doesn’t even sell new micra in Japan loooool Citroen started to sell new C3 last summer btw!! I rode that car and I felt that car is really comfortable
The new Micra/March is considerably bigger (on the outside) than the old one, with much worse visibility, and is harder to park. Its base gasoline engine is less powerful and vibrates more, while not being very efficient in real-world use. The car is also just as noisy as the old Micra, and it still doesn't have electric windows in the back. And Germany's ADAC automotive association has warned about its handling in dangerous situations.
I like the Ignis, it's more like the K11 micra and the new Micra is like a Seat Ibiza. Plus I think the Ignis is sort of designed with emerging economies like India in mind, which means it's more likely to be reliable and easy to repair. Citroën is French and gonna have some silly engineering issues that will crop up.
Oh dear what a mess that was, reuploaded 2 times and the video went from 22 minutes to 15 minutes and ended up only 9 minutes long. Still gave me a chuckle when thinking about it till this day
That Micra should be renamed to Macro. It's not that small anymore which was the whole point of that model. Plus it looks like Almera or whatever crap Nissan puts these days out. Overcurved lump.
Good journalism, well presented, and CarWow does actually seem to persuade the dealers on their network to offer bigger discounts than you might expect.
I can spot these Citroens from far away because of those rubber doors. Interesting idea though. Ignis looks ok too, though that tin box feel would come onto play sometimes.
For sure the Micra is the best car here, but its also substantially more expensive than the other two. The C3 is also not as good as, say, the new VW Polo. But its also priced more close to the VW Up than the VW Polo, and therefore its just as much an alternative to that vehicle, as it is to a Polo. Unsurpricingly the WYPIWYG (What You Pay Is What You Get) principle also apply to cars.
I really like the Ignis - I just wish it were a little more expensive so they'd refined it a little more, and provided a version with an angine you wouldn't be afraid to rack up some miles in.
Sometimes car makers flatter you with soft touch plastics to deceive you with cheap, unreliable mechanicals underneath. Hard plastic loving Suzuki is tops in reliability surveys while vw , ford, nissan, audi, mazda ( champions of great plastics) lag far, far behind in such surveys.
The ignis is very color dependent I know two the Red one looks ok , the Blue one looks horrid . Out of the 3 here I'd take the Micra something I thought I'd never say
I like Suzuki but honestly it looks like a shopping trolley. I can say that I have drove that Micra and they are actaully all right quite expensive though
Suzuki is the most reliable of the 3, but it looks, and must feel like, a shopping trolley. I've had the old Ignis - which at the time was more upmarket than this one (was the predecessor of the swift). It rattled like a shopping trolley, it had the comfort of a shopping trolley, it had the looks of a shopping trolley and it had the noise of a shopping trolley. Reliable until alternator failed at 80K miles. The car survived until about 90K when it could no longer pass MOT without major investment.
Got a 2000 ignis here, 250k km so far, car has done some heavy duty lifting with 3-4 times moving houses with it. Talking about carrying bookshelves and the books and everything a household has in it. Went places the car was not designed for and still the car survived the trip. It is true, the car is a shopping trolley... But one of the strong fast ones!
I have a top of the range C3. It is brilliant in all situations. I don’t understand why reviewers constantly assess cars by the extreme cornering ‘fun factor’. Surely for most prospective owners this is not their priority. This car has really comfortable suspension and yet is still good around the corners.
i only want small car, it has to do all. good for city driving, have comfort and its got to be fun to drive too. i got i20 it dose it all and enough power to get into trouble easy get to all uk speed limits. if it not fun to drive you just turn in zombie driver the ones pull out on you almost cause crash and have no idea anything happened, not fun you get bored and that not good 8 hour drive you prob get tired, a car which is fun you can drive for hours and not get bored and sleepy. on top all i said all should refuse to buy c3 if they to lazy to adjust car right hand market they do not deserve sales
I don't see the point of comparing cars with a huge 20% price difference, at this end of the market price is key, if I only have £10k to spend I'm not even going to consider the Micra!
I own the ignis and I've already done 7400 miles in it. At first I got it and thought 'What have I done?!', but now I'm really starting to enjoy it. You sort of have to learn how to have fun with it and when you realise that you can't drive it like every other car, the car becomes super enjoyable. The Ignis's made after August seem to have a better Sat nav system that seems to be standard across all other Suzuki's which is good because the pioneer really isn't great unless you're using android auto. I would recommend this car though and say that it looks way better in real life than it seems to in pictures.
Ummm the Ignis is a segment below the other two cars... you should have had the new Swift instead of the Ignis. And I said it once, I say it again, WHY does the UK spec Ignis have that terrible touchscreen?! In India we get the same system as the Vitara and the S-Cross!
LifeOfMagnus How well are Suzukis received in Denmark? in India Suzuki is pretty much the default car brand... 50-60% of all cars sold are Suzukis. We have a sedan derivative of the Swift called the Dzire, and it is pretty much the bestseller in India. Just this summer we got the new version based off the new Swift, and it sold 31000 units in August! That's 11% of all cars sold in India!
siddhesh gandhi Suzuki is kind of a budget car brand in Denmark, but really reliable! People don't buy a Suzuki to get luxury, but to get a practical, affordable car. My mom has got the new Baleno, and it's actually really good for the price, and high spec as well. And the most sold Suzuki in Denmark, is the SWIFT. We don't get the Dzire in Denmark, but the regular SWIFT has sold really good, due to great handling and low prices
LifeOfMagnus In India Suzuki was the company which made motoring affordable for Indians, much like Ford in the US. So we do have a sentimental attachment to them. But you really can't go wrong with Suzukis! My dad drives a Dzire (1.3 L diesel) that's had over 150000 km and one considerable accident, yet it goes on strong with no issues! The Baleno is great! A lot of my friends have it and it's doing really well! A no nonsense ultra reliable practical hatchback!
siddhesh gandhi Yeah Suzuki's are really reliable! Before the Baleno, my mom had the Liana, and it almost hit km 300.000 without any problems, before she replaced it. So yeah, Suzuki's have great reliability, affordable prices, great practicality and good handling ☺️
All these cars stand out from the rest with their styling, but the Ignis is so cool looking. Nothing else like it out there. Except maybe the Jimmy for odd looking small SUVs, which is also Suzuki.
Ràpido Gaming One thing is certain though. The Suzuki will last longer than the other 2. And if you’re talking about ‘rattling’ and ‘cheap interior’ well what do you expect? A cheap car isn’t going to have soft touch interiors and won’t be as refined. These smaller cheap cars are for people who just need a car to get around. And the Suzuki does that well enough.
@@austin.2716 yea but other cars in this segment doesn't have that problem and the overall metal sheet quality isn't that good yea I know it is 5 star rated by ncap but in minor crashes it will get damaged a lot
6:58 The doors don't open really wide either But in the Suzuki Ignis 2018 review at 1:40 you said they open nearly 90 degrees which helps a lot So what is it now?
Ignis is the only cool car here if you ask me. C3 build quality is rubbish and Micra is a good car but too expensive, if you are spending that much just get a Polo.
I'd get the Ignis or Baleno as suzuki is much more reliable on the long run. French cars are troublesome and the Micra is not abailable with an automatic. Probably the micra's upcoming automatic gearbox will ve problematic if it was a CVT. A suzuki or a honda or a toyota would definitely be better choices.
and, with this review, the Ignis get one more point... i can't decide between the Ignis GL+(between the full and the standard version) AllGrip and the Sandero(no Stepway) Prestige 0.9(more features than the Ignis but....) and coming back to the review, i don't think it is that fair....Suzuki is a low cost car from Japan, Micra and the C3 are not low cost cars....and are not made only for the city...
Suzuki build quality might be questionable, but for it being a segment lower, having sport bike like looks, spacious back seats, decent front interior and capable of fun offroading, I think its the winner.
Also, I don't know about C3, but in India a year old Micra looks like decades old, but a year old Ignis looks new. Lot of cost cutting in that poshly designed car I think.
have you seen it in real life? it dissapointed me alot. the dashboard is so high positioned, the shifter is very weird (it's very long and masked by plastics to look new), the wings plastic protectors are just for design they don't protect anything, metal exposed by rocks from the tires
The plethora of buttons on those wheels makes me sick. I didn't ever found any use for them. And I must say, I quite like the latest Suzukis. The Swift I know, It's quite competent, the bigger SUVs look great too, I think they are on a really good track.
The Micra is certainly a car to compete with a Polo or a Fiesta...... didn't say win. Why did Nissan design that previous model which looked liked noddy's car (my Dad bought one). Welcome back to sensible car design.
I don't know there is something in ignis when u drive it u will feel like loving it more and more even though it designed little weird at backside.. it's very practical for city driving.. I'm so confident that once u drive it surely u will feel like buying it.. it so likable..
Yeah, very unfair comparison, comparing the Ignis 4wd with bigger, more powerful 2wd models. Should have compared the Baleno or the Swift, they are the real competitors to Micra and C3.
Another uk magazine tested the c3 and micra against the swift booster jet and the latter won easily. Suzuki also topped the 2018 what car ? reliability survey . Swift is more of a direct rival in this company than the characterful and practical ignis.
Suzuki make the best small cars, this one will be very reliable with a chain and not a belt. Has better ground clearance for driving on tracks and very cheap to run
I love the Suzuki's front it looks so agressive while being so cute, but it's rear looks squished and butt ugly. The citreon stresses me out with its pimples and the Micra looks every other 'wanna be futuristic' car now adays
The Micra is an genuinly good car, and Even though you lack a armrest up front, but it's by far one of the greatest cars ive ever driven. I have a bad back and the micra copes with that brilliantly, i often find myself choosing the micra over a New Skoda Kodiaq that we also own, simply because the micra is a better ride
I got the Micra (petrol) as a rental car in Mallorca. The car looks very nice and the interior was fine for me (we were 4 people). However, on the twisty roads the car felt horribly underpowered and the worst was the gearbox (really really bad and very difficult sometimes to get into the reverse gear)
I don't get how the Micra was the best. It is nice looking from inside, but all other things are better in Citroen. Citroen and Micra was on the car magazine test in my country and C3 got 9+ and Micra 7 out of 10. They said Micra was well equipped and stylish, but steering, chassis, noise level, engine power and back seat space were terrible. C3 was comfy, silent, personal, good engine, good chassis, poor about C3 was clumsy gear changes.
The Suzuki Ignis shouldn't really be in this comparison test. It's an A segment vehicle where the other two are B segment products. All three are more interesting than the norm but the Micra is very overpriced for a supermini.
I like the the ignis and c3 they dare to be different and have the most character , the micra just looks like a generic vehicle ala Ford Fiesta (boring). Still I would side with the ignis overall because of the elevated driving position , the off road capability and Suzuki reliability👍
