You could take the Yaris touring but every mile I would be thinking:
Why the f**k didn't I bring my SJ??!??!?!?!?!

Re: Suzuki Ignis Engine in a Sammi
I often think that when driving anywhere in the Yaris! It's fast, rediculously comfortable and economical, fun when driven fast - but the SJ is...
Well, it's more awesome. Kids go "woah!" when they see it. People smile at me as I drive past. That just doesn't happen in a Yaris. It's just lacking in awesome.

Re: Suzuki Ignis Engine in a Sammi
No matter how far you are driving if you are concerned about fuel economy......don't take an SJtwiss wrote:I think anyone doing a 1,000 mile journey should be slightly concerned about fuel economy
I'm hoping megasquirt will increase economy... but as its an SJ Im not getting my hopes up too much
It's a roadtrip, you are going to spend a lot on fuel...why worry about it -

Re: Suzuki Ignis Engine in a Sammi
lol my SJ is surprisingly good on fuel, get about 30mpg when cruising 
And again, some people don't have the luxury of having more than one vehicle

Re: Suzuki Ignis Engine in a Sammi
I only have one vehicle on the road......my SJ 
If I wanted an economical car I would buy one, but i don't and i'm not really fussed how much my sj costs to run, I love it and that's all that matters.

Re: Suzuki Ignis Engine in a Sammi
Still it wouldn't be as good a road trip not in an SJ... worth the extra fuel by a country mile

Re: Suzuki Ignis Engine in a Sammi
On the long haul down to Wagtail and back, I averaged 40 to the gallon, but that was cruising at 50 in 4th gear for over a hundred miles.
I wouldn't say SJs are bad on fuel, but they're not good either. These days less than 20 is bad, more than 45 is good.

There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: Suzuki Ignis Engine in a Sammi
My samurai drinks fuel, yet to see what the KJA does to the mile. Not a lot probably. And I don't care.
Even when I went to Wiltshire last year I trailered it on the Navara, at a whopping 25mpg.
Got the i30 for economy, shopping and family trips. Got Suzukis for fun!
I know I don't pay for it but I'm used to looking.on the trip computer at work and getting between 3 and 7mpg
