Isn't the engine transverse in the ignis so probably whilst operationally similar I'd imagine the gearbox is quite different.?

Well had a look at one this weekend, although couldn't drive it, seems that the 5 door has plusher rear seats and the bases don't fold up against the front seats like they do on the 3 door.
So not only can you not get a flat load bed, but the backrests on the rear seats only fold to an angle and not completely horizontal.

l think Suzuki missed a trick here, it's a deal breaker for me but nobody else has complained about it. Looks like it's back to looking at five door Jeep Wranglers.

I can see why that might be a logical alternative. If they weren't so relatively expensive I would be very tempted. A 4 door rubicon on 40s, oh go on then if you insist!
