Jimny or ecosport

[oliver1013]

Contemplating on getting a Tall and small SUV or CUV for third option, just for goin around metro manila, easy maintenance, not so dependent on electronic parts or components, availability of parts and can be fixed by any talyer in the future after warranty expires. Since it is small, FUel efficiency is also a factor. Tia.

Also flood survivability is also a big consideration.

matic or manual? may problema pa daw matic nang Ford?

[marsha07]

Jimny all the way!

[oliver1013]

Qwrty matic sana dahil mostly city driving, pero pag nag jimny ka dapat daw manual...

Marsha, yes.. yan din nasa isip ko, just wanna hear the chikoteer's inputs..


Pero may nagsabi opismate ni misis grabe daw ang konsumo ng jimny, 5-6km/L ...totoo ba, thats V6 camry territory

Yes, medyo malakas sa gas ang jimny.

Yan ang masakit diyan...pero sir tama na nasa 5-6km/l?

That figure is right. The jimny is my daily driven car. I average around 200kms per week with it and fills around 35li of fuel every saturday. The past few weeks, everyday ako nagpupunta sa site na puro highway, nakaka 250-260kms naman ako. Around 38liters naman ang consumed gas.

the jimy is a real capable mini suv the others are just posers- it can climb it can ford- no b.s.

the jimny consumes more fuel due to it's boxy shape, but it's engine is bullet proof same with the tranny, the only con is- too small and it doesn't have an abs PLUS EXPENSIVE

[crosswind]

Jimny kung dadalhin mo din pangoff-road
that small beast can do what real
SUV can do

ecosport kung pang city driving

That's assuming you need an SUV for climbing and fording. Most people just want a car with increased ride height and durable suspension for our harsh roads and weather.

The Jimny offers that but with a lot of tradeoffs that just aren't worth it for the majority.

It has always been a niche car and will always be a niche car.

jimny is not a fuel efficient machine even though its on 1300 cc. however, it would be very good in fording floods. riding condition is also stiff.

ecosport, fuel efficient compared to jimny, good riding condition. however, i think the ground clearance would be a bit low to ford floods.

Matagtag jimny sobra. Parang pick-up na unladen. hehe

Wait ka na lang muna mga 1 year para malaman mo if may problem or okay ecosport. Mas sulit yun imho pero wait for reliability nga of the tranny.

[marsha07]

There's such a thing as beta version, beta testing, long term ownership cost, rating, etc. With jimny, i wont have to think of that, i can just ask around.

But the real reason i would go with the jimny is that it looks like a mini Jeep. 👍

[marsha07]

^Hmm. Malamang. Jimny looks cute but its definitely tough. Unless, papalitan na ang kaha ng high tensile lightweight steel... yung ecosport 1.5 if u load it up, hirap na, so baka ganun din ang fc.

[oliver1013]

Wala pa bang balita kung magpapalit na ng modelo ang jimny? Parang sintagal na siya ng crosswind

May mga rumors speculations na sa internet, not so happy bout them lang kasi parang bigger at di na classic ang look nung sinsabing new jimny.

Searching din ako for mini suv AT na pang harabas sana. Deal breaker lang talaga performance nitong dalawa based from my actual test drive for the ford and feedbacks i read for the suzuki. Unless mag improve mga ito, asx na siguro next best thing for me.

Btw, anyone knows saan may pa test drive jimny? tatlong dealers na nakausap ko puro wala test unit. Gusto ko lang sana malaman if i can live with the shortcomings i read about jimny.

[boybi]

Maki test drive ka nalang sa mga kakilala mong may Jimny.

[oliver1013]

Dude naisip ko na rin yan asx, kaso kaya ko rin gusto tong dalawang ito, nabadtrip ako sa lancer EX ko, andami ng piyesa nagloloko, tapos ang mahal ng piyesa ayaw pa galawin ng suki kong mekaniko sa banawe kasi baka daw maapektuhan yung electronics, yung unit ko yung sinaunang mga CBU na 2.0...kaya asa lang ako sa casa...same with asx yun, CBU din yan, after ng warranty yari ka...kaya parang mas gusto ko na yung simpleng pang harabas..

[Flip]

Wow ganun kahirap? in that case erase, wait na lang for other option or improvements. Actually apart from the price na medyo bumaba na ngayon, medyo naisip ko din yan maintenance and repair part lalo na i know first hand na di kagandahan service ng mitsubishi.

Wala ako kilala may jimny sir boybi karamihan kasi sa acquaintances ko fuel cost priority sa choices nila ng sasakyan. Iba naman performance.

What is the probability kaya na i update engine ng jimny? Would a vvt help? And medyo OT but may better options ba sa gray market na hindi converted, jimny or other mini suv?

^Hmm. Malamang. Jimny looks cute but its definitely tough. Unless, papalitan na ang kaha ng high tensile lightweight steel... yung ecosport 1.5 if u load it up, hirap na, so baka ganun din ang fc.

I wonder what the FC of a Jimny is if you load it up? On second thought, how much of anything can be loaded into the tiny Jimny?


*oliver1013, if you don't plan to go off-roading and plan to carry adult passengers in comfort, consider the EcoSport.
If you plan to go off-roading and care little about rear seat space (or the lack of it), go for the bite-sized Jimny.
