How much did it cost to replace the alternator? I have the 5 door version of this car (2003) and have some rough idling when starting it cold, sometimes stalling all together. But the issue goes away after driving a bit. I replaced the spark plugs but that didn’t solve it, so I’m wondering if it’s the alternator since you mentioned it’s a common Suzuki flaw

I Love Those Homely Dashboards.

Interesting that this car was featured in the last episode of The Grand Tour that just recently aired. Maybe they were inspired by your video to include it. I’m still looking forward to your next video guys!

Hey guys! New videos on project for future? :D

I've had my Stag for about 5 years now and she never stops putting a smile on my face. Someone asked if I had a good sound system in her and I said yes, it's called the engine (it does have a radio, but I turned it on once, too see if it works and it's never been on since). Really good review lads, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

I heard that the Ignis has a relatively high step-in height (is that the right term?) in other words the seat is somewhat higher compared to other compact cars making it easier to get in. Is that indeed the case for this model/year?

Ignis Sport is the one to go for.

Yes, you're right, it's one of the most beautiful, elegant British cars ever made. And so distinctive. Michelotti got the interior and exterior design perfect from every angle, just as he did with the TR4/4A/5/250 and you're right again most new cars on the roads today are so boring and dull, especially electric cars which all look the same and don't make that beautiful V8 burble. BTW the reason Triumph kept the indicator sounds so quiet is so that it doesn't distract from the beautiful sound of that V8 exhaust :) Nice original condition and color, the only points I would disagree with are your wheels and steering wheel. The originals look better. Those rims were made for minis and IMHO don't look right on the Stag. Again, Triumph got it perfect with the original alloys which were designed for that car and the 2500S. IMO the only non-standard steering wheel that looks okay in a Stag is a Moto-Lita. You can even get the s/wheel boss with the Stag logo.

I have one of these in the UK and i love my little ignis 2002 it's soooo much fun to drive around & you are definitely right it doesn't matter if it gets scratched it doesn't care it just keeps going

Ik heb er 2 weken geleden een gekocht als mijn tweede auto maar dan de Quadrofoglio Verde variant en ik moet zeggen het zijn wel gevaarlijk leuke auto'tjes + vooral de voorkant is zo fking vet

"This car wants to kill me" no brah it wants you to take it offroad.

I have one too, I love this car. It's reliable, and fun to drive.

Best engine for the Stag is the 3.0 v6 from the Ford Capri as the Power is Identical but the v6 is more Reliable and parts are cheaper and plentiful ✅

At 17 I bought my first car, a 1.4 Alfa Romeo giulietta and it is amazing. Since buying I’ve installed the full leather seats (a major upgrade over the cloth ones), installed a ulter sport muffler and just overall cleaned the car up. It’s a 2013 so headlights, interior trim and badges etc were getting old so yes cleaned all of that up and my giulietta is now an absolute stunner which drives as good as it looks.

That stupid bgm kills it - can't watch :(

Scrap the music, triumph stag make their own music.

This is subjective, however comments during the driving are often silly on this video.

what are the biggest off road tires that fit this suzuki ignis ?

Very different type of review. Makes a change from the boring clinical car reviews from most others. Good work. I haven't driven this car, but I will put it in my shortlist as well. A work colleague of mine had a 1.4 TB MultiAir with manual gearbox. He had an early model (probably 2011 or 2012). He used to change his cars every six months to a year, but he kept this Giulietta for a good few years. He really enjoyed it. His only complaint was occasional rattles in the car interior. Economy wise max he ever saw from this engine was around 44 to 48 MPG (imperial) on a long run.

Great video for a great little car. So many have survived for all the reasons you have highlighted.

Well done guys, a fresh approach to reviewing the Stag. It's funny, for a car that had such a bad reputation for reliability and quality in its day it now stands as one of the most popular classic cars of any era. And that is because of all the characteristics you have captured so well in your review. I have had mine for 11 years and I can tell you it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, whether to the shops or on really long tours. It's like a good wine, it gets better with age and it travels well!

Yall should show the praticality of this little car, like the space you get when dropping the back seats until it is flat like the floor, alot of people will be amazed by that. Good show just more info into things like these would be appreciated.

Nice, glad it's all "sorted out", like the Stags!

I love these little cars. It’s like a Japanese mini. Comfortable fun little car, cheap to run and many smiles to the gallon.

🔥🔥🔥

Why is there rubbisch music in thid Video? Street, tires engine ist the Sound Enthusiast want to hear. I am sad ...

Only it had in the engine bay a Rover 3500 V8 from 1975...

I love it that you are covering this beautiful car, the wheels are “minilites” and not Mini Cooper! Used on Mini’s, but not exclusively. 👍🏼

I really enjoyed your review. Watching two dudes driving what i love for the first time and having a ball. I have a 1995 YJ Sahara with the 4.0, automatic and just put black steel wheels with 33x12.50R15's on it and it drives down two lane highway at 70 straight as an arrow with me steering with one finger. Don't let others fool you guys, these old Jeeps run great and smooth on any highway.

Love to see this, even tho it's 2 months later. As a marshal trackside, this is one of my top events to work at. I am dutch but want to keep it English here, love to hear the story behind this weekend. Thanks for the video, loved it and the british are always very welcoming.

Nice honest reviews 👍

The best stag review ever ! You captured this car perfectly. Classic looks and sound. I've always wanted one. Now i need one lol. Great work guys 👏👏

The perfect stag review !! I always wanted one. Now I'm making sure I get one.

The steering and suspension can be upgraded so much to make it like a newer car. It probably wore out from years of use.

Very great job guys! Very great montage! Thank you very much for the pedalcam, it's perfect! I hope that you will keep this view for your next videos! :D

I am going to correct you about the Triumph/Rover V8 issue. The Rover at the time was only available with an automatic. thus it was not considered suitable for the sports tourer. The Triumph engine was actually a far more modern design with OHCs. The wheels are from a mini cooper?

Trowh your wifi in the kliko and by the Alfa.

ha ha you guys are funny. I like how much you like the car. I'm glad you got a good one to drive. When they are that old, sometimes things can be messed up and not work so well. A couple of comments - you mentioned the modified cooling system with the electric water pump. But it appears to me that the original carburetors have been replaced with something different as well. Maybe that's a good thing? Opinions vary. But it must be a good thing because you liked it. Also - the steering wheel, that is not a stock steering wheel. It is much smaller diameter. The ones from 70 -72 were HUGE. But even the later ones were not as small a diameter as the one on that car. But again - a small steering wheel is probably a good thing because typically the power steering is very over boosted. So a smaller steering wheel should still be quite easy to turn, even if the modern tires are wider. All in all a great video. Loved how much you guys liked it. (I'm sure you'd get used to the 4 speed transmission shifter in a short time.)

Just bought myself a Giulietta 1.4T manual and I totally love it. Only my girlfriend doens't like it at all! 😂

maybe less music and your own sound effects and more of the classic lazy, 'organic' v8?

❤

Good engine and pretty decent output for the capacity.

Let me to give some notes about this lovely shit box from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Back in 2006 I was a Technician Trainee and I was having my training in a one workshop which shared the same facility for 3 brands. Citroen , Suzuki (Japan) and Land rover. At that time the sole agent for mentioned all 3 brands is a single owner. This same car can be seen in 3 different names. Suzuki Ignis (brand new Imported via agents) Suzuki Swift (JDM) Chevrolet Cruise (JDM with some changes in body styling) From my experience , the both Citroen and LR owners sending their vehicles with many types of repairs and maintenance , Suzuki owners came only for services and even after 50000kms many didn't have even a single oil leak. I believe if some one who gives attention for his bank account rather than keeping his social status in a car , he must buy a Suzuki or Toyota.

For a moment I thought you were using Mike Myers as the voice over :) Really great review guys, and I've just subscribed.

I own a 2004 4wd brother of the Ignis, a subaru justy g3x. I love it.

Own an 2017 newer version Ignis and it's similarly colored and it's fun to drive and its made in India. 🙋🇮🇳

really ugly, the owner, not the car
