I had test drive both cars a couple of months back, intended to
get either one of them.
Outcome is YRV turbo.
Ignis sports had a better all round handling capability, but it
lose out to the YRV in several department.
1) internal dashboard design and lights around the vehicle is old
fashion
2) Rear leg room really sucks, for me with a height of 1.75m,
behind can only sit someone almost legless
3) Boot space sucks
4) Rear seats do not have a holding handle on the top of vehicle,
so when u corner, passenger behind is being thrown from side to
side with nothing to hold at
5) 2 doors only, not convenient.
6) Dash board drawer on passenger side is so small that it is only
good enough for gals to put cosmetic
For YRV turbo, handling capability can be spice up with after
market parts, but those leg rooms and boot space, there is nothing
you can do abt it.
YRV turbo is basically a 1.3 VVTi, yes VVTi with turbo. Daihatsu
was bought over by Toyota a couple of years back in Japan, and they
are using the VVTi technology. Straight line sprint confirm beat
corolla, vios and VTI, but lose out to VTI-S. Achieve 0-100 in
8.4sec. First gear can hit 80kmh.
Only disadvantage is 2k more than Ignis Sports, and auto gear, and
drum bracks at the rear wheel. otherwise OK, very good car.
