"Apart from it breaking down yesterday I'm very happy with it!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing at all up until yesterday. Driving along the motorway the stereo started to switch on and off, the lights dimmed and brightened then everything electrical went off and the car jerked to a halt... then the windscreen wipers switched on even though they weren't on! Weird! Electrics completely gone so its gone back to the main dealer to see what the problem is. I'll update this as I hear more. I don't think that should have happened to a car only 18 months old! I hope its covered by the guarantee. We'll see now how suzuki handles their customers, I'll let you all know.

General comments?

Great car, lots of room for a small car. Boot is a bit small. Good engine that performs well. Handles very well and fuel economy is excellent. The one downer is the seats and carpet have started to wear badly. They should use better quality material for the upholstery.

I'm thinking of buying one. I've been driving a Renault scenic - do you think I'll be disappointed?

Well, the new Ignis is out (Jan 2004) and it sure looks great! I even think they made it a bit bigger (3.8m)... very fancy in the inside, especially the wheel is small & great!

Yes I have got to agree the carpets do tend to wear badly mine has done 16000miles and had a hole right the way through just under the the brake pedal. just go and see your dealer and they should replace the carpet foc had no problems getting warranty work done with grensons in crewe.

My friend has got one of these on a 53 plate, he has had it since 2005 with 13,000 miles on the clock and now it has 75,000 miles on the clock, everything is original bar a couple of rear light bulbs, It has only ever broke down because he added some aftermarket fog lights which malfunctioned. It is a very good car and the performance from the 1.3 DOHC 16v is very good and has good acceleration and fuel economy.
