My Travel Companion

Buying experience: I always wanted to write review of my travel companion Ignis. It's been 2 years since I bought this car and I have completed 45423 kms so far.. Yes I have used it extensively. Still I cannot forget how I have selected this car. I was looking for replacement of Estilo which had run for 98000kms which was bought as second hand. I had tried very limited options like Swift 2017 model and Tiago. I liked Swift but somehow wifey did not like it due to less rear leg room and less space. Due to 3cylinder engine didn't go for Tiago. So our final choice is Ignis. From which I have never regretted selecting it, I always rejoice as perfect companion. Delivery experience was quite good, cake cutting, chocalate box, Flower Buouqet all are different for a customer.
Riding experience: You will get spoiled on driving ignis., I am saying in good way. Once you start using it, you will not like driivng any other car. It's a fun to drive car both for city and highway. Since it is crossover kind of hatch back, Suspension tuned for firm ride but stillbpeople found it plush and people at back seat will like it. Gear shift is easy and clutch is light too. Car has good ground clearance and never touched any speed humps. Inspite of having tall boy design Body roll is very minimal. After this car I stopped using bus for travel instead tale car for any trip.
Details about looks, performance etc: K12 engine really gem of engine. You will get immediate power in all gears. You will really enjoy when it is in 3rd gear with more rpm, you will surely like sound of engine note and power. I am getting milege of 15kms in city and 20-21 kms in highway. If you drive in 80s you will get astonishing figure of 23-24kms too. Ya it is petrol engine still you will get very good mileage. Braking power is good and ABS kicks in incase of heavy breaking. You can easily maintain 100kmh in highway and still you will get 20-21 kms. I am thinking to increase tyre width from 175 to 195 which will increase the ride experience
Servicing and maintenance: I service the vehicle for every 10000kms as mentioned in manual. Maintenance cost is very less like any other maruti cars. I never serviced car from Nexa service as service cost is but higher side comparing to usual maruti service centres.
Pros and Cons: Pros - Good Ride and handling, spacious inside both in front n rear seats. Good mileage, Good legroom in rear seat, rear seats are foldable as 60:40 which helps to take out things without opening boot. Body color handle looks great. Cons - I dont see any cons but there should be good to have features like cruise control, AWD, all wheels disc brakes
