There's no Stelvio Pass but there is the Gua Musang. Pity you missed that.

kudos bro.. i used to own an ignis sport as well.. fun car to drive.

Absolute shame that such a rare great condition icon got to head to the scrapyard soon.

Could have been driven for at least another decade.

everything is tempting.... from the comfy ride to the evening desserts.

Ignis Sport was one of my affordable dream cars when I first got my license. I vividly remembers the first time I seat behind the wheels of this hot hatch due my very first testdrive with Mr Frankie, my SE, beside me.

I was driving like a turtle when Mr Frankie asked me to "Whack the car! drag to redline!" I complied and was rewarded with a sporty roar and a gush of torque as the car easily reaches the maximum speed limit for the road.

109ps? No way!

But alas practicality got in the way as I have family needs, so I had to give up this 2 door hatch and opt for a family friendly 4 door Swift.

I dare to admit, even up to now, I still regretted not following my heart then...

What a waste to scrap this car... damn the COE time limit!

Yup. Been there years back. Will definitely go back again.

Agree with all of you. The Ignis is a very good example of less is more.

May i know the average speed of travelling?

Igniis sport was the first car that I got when I got my license. Fun little thing that has pretty decent handling BUT horrible nvh and vv flimsy. (Hit a rock on the floor and the wheel fell off). Buak at the back by a vios and the whole back caved in whereas the vios suffers min damage. And for car that prides itself on it's cornering actually slides around the corner at 50km/h as it's way to light. (might be stock tires too)

And I really salute the author for taking the car for such long drive. My spine would not have taken the hard punishing ride seriously.and the noise! Not exhaust but road and wind and rattles. Sold the car off after a year. Too dangerous. But still had some pleasant memories with it.

Fortunately for me, I did not have any accidents with it so I can't agree it was a flimsy car. As a matter of fact, considering the amount of yanking on the handbrake and hard launches i did, I thought it was a pretty robust thing!

NVH was bad like you mention though. I could not hear what was coming through the radio mostly!

Yup, the Ignis does like to slide around like you mention. I believe it was meant to do that so that you can adjust your line of attack mid corner.
