Suzuki Ignis Sport vs Daihatsu YRV Turbo
-
any takers?
-
I test drive the Ignis Sports few weeks ago... good performance and nice interior + exterior look and feel. If not because it's a 2-door car, i will seriously consider this car for normal road usage. I was test driving along the west coast road and at the traffic junction, i stopped beside a s-type jaguar. Not sure if the jaguar driver tried to compete with me on the standing-start acceleration, i managed to win him on pickup during the green-light go before hitting the next red-light junction. I step hard on gas (RPM hit to closing limit) of course but i guess the engine is extremely free-reving and still capable of taking those punishmentOriginally posted by Theatre Of Dreams:any takers?
As for Daihatsu, not that i am biased but many car magazines have mentioned the suspension is still not good for the cornering especially for that high car body. Furthermore, the look is rather outdated now be it interior or exterior even though the engine power is still good for straight line sprint (maybe can even beat any 1.6 VVti and VTI)
GIven the budget of under 70K when buying car, i look for all rounded factor of the car and for me, i will definitely pick the Ignis Sports... just too bad it's only available in 2-door

Take a look here: http://www.globalsuzuki.com/automobile/ignis_sport/index.html and also under the motorsport link where Suzuki takes part in the JWRC. Looking into the new season for the race, a 4 door version may be available soonOriginally posted by wuliaoz:hey got any website to view..?

isnt the Ignis anf YRV the newer versions of Swift gti and charade gti?

I had test drive both cars a couple of months back, intended to get either one of them.
Outcome is YRV turbo.
Ignis sports had a better all round handling capability, but it lose out to the YRV in several department.
1) internal dashboard design and lights around the vehicle is old fashion
2) Rear leg room really sucks, for me with a height of 1.75m, behind can only sit someone almost legless
3) Boot space sucks
4) Rear seats do not have a holding handle on the top of vehicle, so when u corner, passenger behind is being thrown from side to side with nothing to hold at
5) 2 doors only, not convenient.
6) Dash board drawer on passenger side is so small that it is only good enough for gals to put cosmetic
For YRV turbo, handling capability can be spice up with after market parts, but those leg rooms and boot space, there is nothing you can do abt it.
YRV turbo is basically a 1.3 VVTi, yes VVTi with turbo. Daihatsu was bought over by Toyota a couple of years back in Japan, and they are using the VVTi technology. Straight line sprint confirm beat corolla, vios and VTI, but lose out to VTI-S. Achieve 0-100 in 8.4sec. First gear can hit 80kmh.
Only disadvantage is 2k more than Ignis Sports, and auto gear, and drum bracks at the rear wheel. otherwise OK, very good car. -

By the way, just for clarification... Suzuki engine also use the VVT technology same as YRV engine which it called as VVTi. Also, how did you hold the YRV first gear to reach 80km in auto mode? I know YRV has steer shift but how to downshift preventing gearbox from changing the gear, it does not has tiptronic or similiar equipped, right?
Anyway, you have made your choice... good for you. Enjoy your new car later once you have collected... One thing for sure the YRV insurance will be higher since 'Turbo' appears now

The YRV has a push button mode to chose between auto or manual, so when manual chosen, the steer shift will come in place. As long as you dont shift up, you will hold it at first gear. I read some articles, it can hit 180kmh at 3rd....
As for insurance, it was about 300+ more than the ignis, but the road tax is also 300+ lesser, because it is 1.3, while ignis sports is 1.5l, so more or less break even...
Tomorrow going to put pen to paper, hopefully everything sui sui, than can get car in 2 weeks time...
got quiet some freebies from them, remote alarm, tinted window, and turbo timer..... -
180km for a 1.3 is considered real fast... anyway, just make sure the small engine need not overhaul after a fierce ride... which in the past happened always in the Charade 1.0 GttiOriginally posted by perseus76:The YRV has a push button mode to chose between auto or manual, so when manual chosen, the steer shift will come in place.

dont think I can ever get a chance to try in spore rds. Now the TP having new weapons and mid yr is near, they are hungry to go all out to hit quota, so that they can get higher bonuses.......
