Came looking at this thread specifically to find out about the AMT gearbox. Sounds like it's pretty bad, damn! It's not a traditional auto from my understanding, it's an automatically actuated manual gearbox.

The AMT is not a horrible transmission. We have a Suzuki Swift AMT and it’s not as horrible as people make it out to be. Go test drive one.

You will notice the upshift from 1st to 2nd as you would if you were driving an actual manual transmission with a physical clutch pedal. Every other gearshift from 2nd onwards is smooth and comparable to a torque converter auto transmission.

I cannot fault the downshifts.

The car will creep forward in ‘D’ and it won’t roll back if you let off the brake pedal on an incline. Just like a torque converter auto.

In my experience, the AMT is not too far off from a “normal” torque converter auto. Whatever the normal auto can do, the AMT can do albeit with a bit less refinement. It’s a competent alternative.

Please do try it out for yourself.

New Suzuki Ignis 2022 UK Review – Great! But Can You Call It An SUV? | OSV Car Reviews​

Meet the Suzuki Ignis! The second-generation Suzuki Ignis arrived on UK roads in 2017 and over the years it’s been one of the Japanese brand’s most popular offerings.

It occupies a rather strange place in the market as it can be considered both a city car or small SUV, depending on who you ask. WhatCar recently named it the best small SUV for value, yet it’s more similar in size to a Volkswagen Up than a Ford Puma.

The Ignis received a facelift in 2020 that gave it even more rugged compact SUV appeal with revised exterior styling, as well as the addition of a new hybrid powertrain.

Like other Suzuki models, it's easy to wrap your head around the Ignis range thanks to three clearly defined trim levels and just one engine option.

So, which version should you go for? And is it the perfect choice if you’re looking for a small car with SUV capabilities?

 
Looking for a city runabout? Suzuki Ignis is definitely worth a look

Pricing starts at R212,900 (June 2023) and tops out at R270,900 for the GLX auto.

For that money, you’re getting a peppy, solid and reliable runabout that looks really great. You may need to sacrifice on the NVH levels, however - those roof rails and boxy design make for a pretty noisy interior at the national road speed limit, and the lightness of its construction, while good for fuel economy, makes for some waftiness through the bends.

I confess to being more than a little nervous around Sir Lowry’s Pass when the Cape’s signature gusts of wind caused me to white-knuckle the steering wheel a little.

Overall, though, the Suzuki Ignis is definitely worth a look. We’ve certainly come a long way since the Citi Golf and Toyota Tazz...
