- Small hatchbacks: just because they’re small in size doesn’t mean they aren't big in personality. The Suzuki Ignis, Citroen C3 and Nissan Micra are three of the best town runabouts currently on sale, but which one is best for you? To find out, I’m going to give them a thorough going-over inside and out, before hitting the road on each to find out which is best.

I never understood why people criticize a cheap car for having a cheap interior I mean it's a "cheap" car if you want something nicer your gonna have to spend extra money. And no cars in this class has a soft touch interior there all hard plastic which is expected at this price point
If you dont complain it wont improve
@@sandertu8366 those cars are not meant for luxury my dude get that right and if you want great interior you need to retrieve a bit more from your wallet to get those things which you won't as you are seeking luxury in normal less expensive cars.
@@amasseenessen8636 Luxury is something id rather avoid because its useless,
But to refocus your response, complaining about things, like he is, even on low end vehicles can improve the quality of the low end vehicles.
What we as consumers are expected to do is buy the smart choice and to do that the "price value" of a prosuct is expected to be high.
Do conclude, if you dont complain you can expect all car prices to rise and the companies profits skyrocket, or the low end cars to be the worst shit cans in existence and still cost an arm an 2 legs.
@@sandertu8366 i get your point
My Ibiza FR 2016 has lovely soft touch on the dash. The newer version is hard plastics everywhere. No thanks.
For me it is the Suzuki, because I am cheap and I want practicality, ultra reliability and economy from a car. I don't mind comfort or speed.
Suzuki is the most reliable of the 3, but it looks, and must feel like, a shopping trolley. I've had the old Ignis - which at the time was more upmarket than this one (was the predecessor of the swift). It rattled like a shopping trolley, it had the comfort of a shopping trolley, it had the looks of a shopping trolley and it had the noise of a shopping trolley. Reliable until alternator failed at 80K miles. The car survived until about 90K when it could no longer pass MOT without major investment.
Random Alex ok
Unique design too ey...
It is comfortable and nippy
Got a 2000 ignis here, 250k km so far, car has done some heavy duty lifting with 3-4 times moving houses with it. Talking about carrying bookshelves and the books and everything a household has in it. Went places the car was not designed for and still the car survived the trip. It is true, the car is a shopping trolley... But one of the strong fast ones!
How the hell did the orange car win?
dodiloi i
bejng all 3 cars lol
Do you mean McLaren with that???🤨
The citroen is orange, suzuki brownish, and nissan brown+gold mix
Kgkogjgm’gig
the ignis being smaller has better space on back seat and thats a nice thing....👍
I have a top of the range C3. It is brilliant in all situations. I don’t understand why reviewers constantly assess cars by the extreme cornering ‘fun factor’. Surely for most prospective owners this is not their priority. This car has really comfortable suspension and yet is still good around the corners.
Its the strength of Citroën comfort and brake.
It’s Citroën’s top seller. It must suit quite a few people. Perhaps just not the best for B road antics; but that’s not really Citroën’s thing
i only want small car, it has to do all. good for city driving, have comfort and its got to be fun to drive too. i got i20 it dose it all and enough power to get into trouble easy get to all uk speed limits. if it not fun to drive you just turn in zombie driver the ones pull out on you almost cause crash and have no idea anything happened, not fun you get bored and that not good 8 hour drive you prob get tired, a car which is fun you can drive for hours and not get bored and sleepy. on top all i said all should refuse to buy c3 if they to lazy to adjust car right hand market they do not deserve sales
I prefer to own the Citroen C3 because of its funky flair, practicality and technology featured inside.
In this review you say the Ignis' doors don't open very wide, and yet unless I'm mistaken in your own separate review of the same car you comment how they almost open to 90 degrees making it so practical?
I notice the reviewer ignored your comment :-)
Give him a break, he's gonna get some stuff wrong and notice later.
@@99ron30 they were clearly attempting to down play the Suzuki by making a point the doors don't open very far by messing about with a child seat , instead of pushing the doors as wide as they do actually go , 90 degrees to the body
thats true
True. I have the Ignis and doors open 90degrees making it exceedingly easy to get people baby seats shopping or the like in and out very easily.
I'm glad that Citroën has gone comfy again...
I bought the 2021 version,it feels like those old mercedes that were like spaceships...i kinda like the chill feel and u allways got chiptuning😁
@@Jeremy-ff7gv kinda sad that all cars go for a stiff suspension regardless of the target demographic. At least there're still Citroën and MB.
@@MajorSpam Nissan SUVs ride very soft too!
Is it me or does the new Citroen C3 look taller than the second gen
@Yule Calma no. I find them way more comfortable than Mazda and Ford and the quality of materials inside is also way better
I own the ignis and I've already done 7400 miles in it. At first I got it and thought 'What have I done?!', but now I'm really starting to enjoy it. You sort of have to learn how to have fun with it and when you realise that you can't drive it like every other car, the car becomes super enjoyable. The Ignis's made after August seem to have a better Sat nav system that seems to be standard across all other Suzuki's which is good because the pioneer really isn't great unless you're using android auto. I would recommend this car though and say that it looks way better in real life than it seems to in pictures.
Callum Sweet that is strange, but you are right. The Ignis looks better in real life than in pictures or even video
I don't know why you guys compare an ignis to a micra and a c3. It's more of a city car than a supermini.
I would pick the c3 for the looks and comfy seats.
It's just a shame that Citroen and Nissan won't upgrade their C3 and March (Micra) here in Brazil! They just look lovely in their new generations!!!!!
Nissan doesn’t even sell new micra in Japan loooool
Citroen started to sell new C3 last summer btw!!
I rode that car and I felt that car is really comfortable
The new Micra/March is considerably bigger (on the outside) than the old one, with much worse visibility, and is harder to park. Its base gasoline engine is less powerful and vibrates more, while not being very efficient in real-world use. The car is also just as noisy as the old Micra, and it still doesn't have electric windows in the back. And Germany's ADAC automotive association has warned about its handling in dangerous situations.
I prefer the Ignis, more pratical and the best about reliabily
I'd pick the Ignis, I think it looks awesome
Suzuki Ignis no doubt is the best of the three. Citroen C3 if your tempted more with the looks. Micra for a little bit of posh.
Bruh suzuki's quality sucks
Ràpido Gaming One thing is certain though. The Suzuki will last longer than the other 2. And if you’re talking about ‘rattling’ and ‘cheap interior’ well what do you expect? A cheap car isn’t going to have soft touch interiors and won’t be as refined. These smaller cheap cars are for people who just need a car to get around. And the Suzuki does that well enough.
@@austin.2716 yea but other cars in this segment doesn't have that problem and the overall metal sheet quality isn't that good yea I know it is 5 star rated by ncap but in minor crashes it will get damaged a lot
Wouldn’t the ignis be more of a rival to the vw up/Renault twingo/Hyundai i10?
Aye they should have taken Suzuki Swift on this review instead of Ignis
@@ninaakari5181 They should have taken the Baleno.
Citroën C3 is easily my choice!
I have just got the new nissan micra and love it 👌🏻 really nice to drive and can pick up a decent speed with not much engine noise.
All these cars stand out from the rest with their styling, but the Ignis is so cool looking. Nothing else like it out there. Except maybe the Jimmy for odd looking small SUVs, which is also Suzuki.
Chris Till its jimny
Potato Slices autocorrect
Good journalism, well presented, and CarWow does actually seem to persuade the dealers on their network to offer bigger discounts than you might expect.
Yes! Been waiting for one like this.
Oh my God, all those cars look so cool! I'm at work getting excited over these three! And I live in the United States!
I would prefer the Micra,agree with your verdict
I love your videos, I watched nearly all of them.
Can you please do the review of the new kia rio.
I love this guy's reviews. 😎
The micro had come a long way in the looks department! I like the Ignis!
*micra
ohhh god i want that suzuki ignis so bad
Eydzuan Rosley the Micra is better in my opinion
I like the Ignis, it's more like the K11 micra and the new Micra is like a Seat Ibiza. Plus I think the Ignis is sort of designed with emerging economies like India in mind, which means it's more likely to be reliable and easy to repair. Citroën is French and gonna have some silly engineering issues that will crop up.
K11’s will always be the best Micra, they go forever.
I don't see the point of comparing cars with a huge 20% price difference, at this end of the market price is key, if I only have £10k to spend I'm not even going to consider the Micra!
Dean Richardson get a used micra lol
I like the way you explain each and every thing in a car. You are excellent. keep it up friend.
id prefer the Ignis at least if u go for the 4wd you wouldn't get stuck in the snow and better in the Wet
it wont be as stuck as the two weel drives
I don't know there is something in ignis when u drive it u will feel like loving it more and more even though it designed little weird at backside.. it's very practical for city driving.. I'm so confident that once u drive it surely u will feel like buying it.. it so likable..
The best reviews on youtube. Matt Watson should be on top gear.
Amazing Cars, love their colors
Thats a good head-to-head! Nice one! Citroen for me
I’ve had a C3 hire car for a week & I have to say I do like it
I like the Suzuki the best, it has a lot of style for a tiny car and it's also going to be the most reliable
i have always backache, and need the Citroen C3
I got the Micra (petrol) as a rental car in Mallorca. The car looks very nice and the interior was fine for me (we were 4 people). However, on the twisty roads the car felt horribly underpowered and the worst was the gearbox (really really bad and very difficult sometimes to get into the reverse gear)
Your car review persona reminds me very much of Richard Hammond.
I will probably go with the Ignis. Love the look of it and it's 5 star safety, as well as being a very reliable car. Also the cheapest there
What a beautiful looking cars Mini SUV and Hatchbacks.
Very lovely review.
Thumbs up from "Pakistan".
I am using New C3 left-hand drive, we have also huge glove box. Right-hand drive...
Mat ---I really enjoy his talking
Orange seems to be quite trendy color. Not complaining. Nice to have color after all the grey cars.
Citroen C3 is the best
1:35 that micra was 2 generations ago?
You should of showed the model it replaced.
The Ignis is a class above the Citroen and Nissan. Not a fair comparison. The Ignis has superior ride height, engine and overall design smarts.
Since you'd be driving these types of cars around town, I'd go for the ignis since it's got character and more fun to drive. Pity the back doesn't look that good, may a factory rear spoiler would improve it
My mum just bought a Ignis today. Reliability and space for passengers the most important things for us. And we really like the model.
But why don't the back doors open that far? I've seen another review and the doors opened almost 90 degrees?
I absolutely love that it is. It's sooooo cute. Smack a turbo on it and it's the perfect pocket rocket.
Ummm the Ignis is a segment below the other two cars... you should have had the new Swift instead of the Ignis. And I said it once, I say it again, WHY does the UK spec Ignis have that terrible touchscreen?! In India we get the same system as the Vitara and the S-Cross!
siddhesh gandhi thought the same. And in Denmark we also get the touchscreen as in Vitara and S-Cross
LifeOfMagnus How well are Suzukis received in Denmark? in India Suzuki is pretty much the default car brand... 50-60% of all cars sold are Suzukis. We have a sedan derivative of the Swift called the Dzire, and it is pretty much the bestseller in India. Just this summer we got the new version based off the new Swift, and it sold 31000 units in August! That's 11% of all cars sold in India!
siddhesh gandhi Suzuki is kind of a budget car brand in Denmark, but really reliable! People don't buy a Suzuki to get luxury, but to get a practical, affordable car. My mom has got the new Baleno, and it's actually really good for the price, and high spec as well. And the most sold Suzuki in Denmark, is the SWIFT. We don't get the Dzire in Denmark, but the regular SWIFT has sold really good, due to great handling and low prices
LifeOfMagnus In India Suzuki was the company which made motoring affordable for Indians, much like Ford in the US. So we do have a sentimental attachment to them. But you really can't go wrong with Suzukis! My dad drives a Dzire (1.3 L diesel) that's had over 150000 km and one considerable accident, yet it goes on strong with no issues! The Baleno is great! A lot of my friends have it and it's doing really well! A no nonsense ultra reliable practical hatchback!
siddhesh gandhi Yeah Suzuki's are really reliable! Before the Baleno, my mom had the Liana, and it almost hit km 300.000 without any problems, before she replaced it. So yeah, Suzuki's have great reliability, affordable prices, great practicality and good handling ☺️
Didn't Suzuki say they were going to put the infotainment system from the Baleno into the retail Ignis, and not the aftermarket Pioneer system?
6:58 The doors don't open really wide either
But in the Suzuki Ignis 2018 review at 1:40 you said they open nearly 90 degrees which helps a lot
So what is it now?
Well said
doors do open to 90 degrees , i think they were making the car look bad on purpose , i have the alldrive version and it does 62mpg on a motorway drive
I like the Citroen the most.
ignis has a touch screen now and really decent sound
I'll go for the citroen or suzuki, micra can't fit my turban 👳
+egy walando there are 250k new subs who have no idea what your are on about 😋
carwow early subcribers squad where u at 😂
carwow me 😭😭😭from Ireland the superior of the two Islands!!!HAHA I wonder how many British people will dislike this
egy walando Please explain the reference, I’m an old subscriber yet have no idea what you’re talking about.
Oh dear what a mess that was, reuploaded 2 times and the video went from 22 minutes to 15 minutes and ended up only 9 minutes long. Still gave me a chuckle when thinking about it till this day
Early squad!
Im just happy seeing Audioslave in the review 😂
Can the 4WD suzuki ignis can be like a suzuki jimny in off road courses ?
Citroën is the best. Its even cooler than MINI. Only Alfa Mito is on similar coolness level.
do the 2017 kia picanto
Suzuki build quality might be questionable, but for it being a segment lower, having sport bike like looks, spacious back seats, decent front interior and capable of fun offroading, I think its the winner.
Also, I don't know about C3, but in India a year old Micra looks like decades old, but a year old Ignis looks new. Lot of cost cutting in that poshly designed car I think.
I thought Suzuki were reliable?
My Swift has the same feeling in that, despite it being a small car, it feels pretty roomy.
The C3 is original i love the interior
have you seen it in real life? it dissapointed me alot. the dashboard is so high positioned, the shifter is very weird (it's very long and masked by plastics to look new), the wings plastic protectors are just for design they don't protect anything, metal exposed by rocks from the tires
@@3mariusx not its not very bad when you see an Audi A3 with plastic interior priced 30 000 $ so.
Matt I love your reviews but Carwow please sort out your sound editing. The voice-overs are way louder than the in car commentary.
Try a comparison between the Nissan Micra, Seat Ibiza and the Kia Rio.
and, with this review, the Ignis get one more point... i can't decide between the Ignis GL+(between the full and the standard version) AllGrip and the Sandero(no Stepway) Prestige 0.9(more features than the Ignis but....)
and coming back to the review, i don't think it is that fair....Suzuki is a low cost car from Japan, Micra and the C3 are not low cost cars....and are not made only for the city...
I tested all three. So I decided 2020 in October for the facelift Suzuki Ignis.
Superbe after now 50.000 km.
Plz make a jacket comparison 😕😕
Citroen C3
Another uk magazine tested the c3 and micra against the swift booster jet and the latter won easily. Suzuki also topped the 2018 what car ? reliability survey . Swift is more of a direct rival in this company than the characterful and practical ignis.
It’s the Micra for me!
"The last Micra was an anonymous blob" - shows image of the model prior to the last one. That really shows you how anonymous it was!
The non-automated window on the rear seat of micra got me surprised. Seriously this is 2017.
I have a 2020 Micra, can’t complain about much it’s been very reliable so far. Very quick from its 100bhp engine. If I had to be picky then I’d say the ride is a bit hard on bumpy roads.
Does anyone know the song playing in the background? :)
Can I just ask...
Has anyone ever used a tethering point??
I like the orange one. Also only Mat my son can make me watch a small car review.
thanks helps a lot what cars are like nissen micra for me then
6:58 for anyone watching this at 2023-2024, that issue with the back doors was fixed. Now they open almost 90degrees wide
I’ll take the c3
The plethora of buttons on those wheels makes me sick. I didn't ever found any use for them. And I must say, I quite like the latest Suzukis. The Swift I know, It's quite competent, the bigger SUVs look great too, I think they are on a really good track.
What is the music in the video?
The swift is the more natural rival to the micra and citroen. It beat these two in a three way Car magazine contest in 2018.
can we have a drag race on CR-V, CX-5, Tucson, and NIssan X-trail,
I have the Ignis and done around 7500 miles the best I've shown is 61 mpg it was great in the snow (4x4) and only £10 a year to tax gotta love the cheap plastic it wipes clean and will stay newer for longer
well said
I would take the orange one
I love the exteriour of the Ignis and it's a practical city car..., but holy cow, the interiour... I would take it to a customizer and dip everything in soft touch paint or cover it with leather or fabric. Or replace it with wood. ANYTHING!
I love Suzuki!😍
Suzuki ignis love it
The real beauty of ignis is its back , if you see the full car in side angle, it's like a small bison.
I have ignis zeta 2024 Feb model
Review Suzuki Baleno please
I wish you had an outside camera at 11 minute mark to show where you drive. For such an elaborate review this is a regretful slip in production quality.
Having a bad day at work in this field would be having to go from reviewing high performance cars to turning up at work to find out that your boss wants you to review these three. 😂
Car wow for life
Is it my PC or is it Carwows up and down volume again? :/
For sure the Micra is the best car here, but its also substantially more expensive than the other two. The C3 is also not as good as, say, the new VW Polo. But its also priced more close to the VW Up than the VW Polo, and therefore its just as much an alternative to that vehicle, as it is to a Polo. Unsurpricingly the WYPIWYG (What You Pay Is What You Get) principle also apply to cars.
citroen the best among them
