Description
The word 'Ignis' is derived from the Latin for 'fire'. For those who associate the Suzuki cars with docile but reliable happy shoppers and compact off-roaders, we have a surprise for you. Suzuki launched the FH series Ignis into the world of rallying in 2003, having previously proved their credentials with the now legendary 1990s Suzuki Swift GTI. The Suzuki Ignis Sport is a direct result of Suzuki's involvement in the Junior World Rally Championship. The vehicle was conceived, constructed, and engineered to give drivers a distinct motorsport sensation, as embodied in the JWRC, while also being practical and easy to drive on a daily basis. The car features several notable factory-fitted modifications, as demonstrated by its lowered suspension and tuned 1.5-litre engine, to complement the close-ratio gearbox and tuned exhaust. It is finished in a practical package that boasts a sports-oriented interior design and a unique body kit. With only 90,500 recorded miles and five owners, this 2005 example could be one of the best opportunity to obtain a punchy, unique, and well-balanced pocket rocket for folks who love to drive. The engine's factory tuned 1.5-litre 16-valve VVT engine thrives on high revs, due to the lightened flywheel to encourage a useful 107 bhp to flow, a near perfect attribute on a car weighing less than a ton. This makes the proposition of chucking it around the country lanes an appealing attribute. The ride is typically firm, but the stability is not marred by any suspension complaints, with no record of knocking or squeaking. On the move, it is said to maintain good oil pressure, with no reported issues with the engine temperature. The entire exhaust system is brand new. It has been recently serviced with a full oil change and MOT until May 2025. There are some signs of wear and tear which I have tried to document in the photos. You'd be welcome to come and have a drive if you are seriously interested. Cash or BACS on collection. Any questions, just ask. Next MOT due 09/05/2025, Yellow, 5+ owners, £3,250
