Flood fording, sure the Jimny has the advantage. But really, hobby niyo ba tumawid ng baha?
Even if my car can cross 80 cm floods, I still try to find the driest route available as much as possible. No benefit in crossing a deep flood just to boost your ego, since it's such a hassle to check your fluids afterwards.

That is actually a big factor in favor of the Jimny... cheap parts, not hard to get.
Yeah... resale for Jimny 4x4s secondhand is CRAZY! I want one, but they're more expensive than comparable Jazzes!
Gotta tell it like it is.
But consider... the Jimny is the Mazda Miata of the off-roading world. It's not the most powerful, it's not the one with the most gee-whiz technology, but it's definitely one of the most fun. Owners put up with all the cons happily simply because the positives and the cool vibes of having one make up for them.
I'm still looking for mine. :hysterical: My dream survivalist garage has a Crosswind, a lifted 98 Hilux and a Jimny.
If you're not looking to survive the Apocalypse... puwede na EcoSport. Drives reaaaally nice, especially with the manual box.

Whenever i see a Jimny, i feel happy. 😀 have never driven one though. Wala din kakilala na meron nito. Pero tagal ko ng crush 😍 😍 😍

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.

October 1st, 2014 07:30 PM #36Interesting Topic
I'm also looking at Jimny (MT) vs. Ecosport (MT)
So aside pala sa wobble ni Jimny (na hindi ko alam kung fixed na) ay mataas pala FC nito despite yung bite size niya
I still want one

Been scanning ayosdito for the past week, taas pa ng segunda manong jimny...03 nasa 400k more or less..yung mga above 2010 500k pataas pa, and bihira din ang units na available..
Magkano ba ang piyesa at ano ang madalas masira dito? Baka maka tiyempo ako ng may tama...and also meron ba itong certain weakness?

Check the Jimny thread. Mura mga parts.
I interviewed the owner of the one I reviewed for my last article at k0tse.com and thetruthaboutcars.com... (Rookie Overload of 4x4ph), and the only real trouble spot he could point out (after having had several Jimnys, each doing over 100,000 kms as business service) was the electronic transfer case control on the 06... which wasn't quite water tight and could malfunction off-road (come to think of it, I heard the same thing from tebs here on tsikot a long time ago). Newer Jimnys with the electronic control have better water sealing and don't have this issue. Older Jimnys have a mechanical lever controlling the transfer case.
