    Hi guys,
    I need a little advice.
    Right now after dozens of sleepless nights I decided to buy a Suzuki Ignis as my new car.
    The problem is which version choose.
    The Sport 1.5L is tempting, 2004 is around 3,800€ but the same year 1.3L cost less then 3,000€.
    With my money limit around 4,000€ if I buy the 1.3: I'll be able to easily pay the insurance as well plus I'll get the pseudo "4x4" and 5DR.
    The Sport version grants me a great specs but with 3DR and without the "4x4" .
    The question is does the Sport version is worth the price? Does the amount of joy and fun of ride evens the difference in price?
    Thanks for all answers
    Yoshik

    Is the 1.3 really a 4grip? that will cost you in MPG.

    I would say go with the 1.3 if it 2wd.. the Suzuki engines are sweet enough and the saving in raod tax will bring a small extra smile once a year!

    *anorak point... the same dash is shared between the Ignis and the Jimny

    FYI Suzuki make great small cars.

    Its semi 4x4. Its based on viscous coupling, when the front tires start to loose the grip the coupling transfers some percentage of power to rear wheels. I was thinking that it could be useful in winter time, because i dont want to buy a real 4x4 this would be perfect solution for me.
    The MPG isnt a big issue, compared to my Polo even a tank eats less fuel. And even on 1.5L the tax isnt so bad, around 360 per year.
    Thats gonna be a tough choice.
    Or maybe something else? Compact or small SUV with seats which arent to low, so i wouldnt had to climb up to get out. To lets say 4000€.
