pajero jr (japan surplus) or 2nd hand suzuki jimney

look under the hood and also check the under chassis you will know the difference between the vitara and the feroza problem is wala na daihatsu dito sa atin an bad trip sa columbian... napalitan na siya ng ROCKY ngayon, but 4x4 people across the world specially in australia and malaysia still prefer the older feroza kesa dun sa bagong rocky. from the words of cruven owner claro- this truck was built for punishment

remember they're both used..so take your time looking...

pajero jr: 94-96..some are 98+ jdm model year (check mo seatbelts) 660 turbo..common ang 3-speed a/t, mayroon ding 4-or 5-speed manual, conventional 4wd(2h-4h-4l)..compact and mas makakapalingon kaysa sa jimney..kasi bibihira ang looks.
downside:being imported and di relased locally, finding replacement parts is a challenge. pero iba ang class-a japanese used car compared sa class-a local natin..

jimny:1300 cc, 2000+ model (local) 1990++, 660cc turbo (imported, particularly JDM) a/t or m/t. masmadali parts nito, kasi kahit imported, madaming enthusiast nito dito compared sa pajero jr., but kung ung 1300cc, masmatipid parin ung 660cc...

bottomline, hanap ka ng maganda-ganda unit na gusto mo..i advice manual on secondhand..you'll never know kung sira ang a/t hanggat di na tumakbo yan...ok naman a/t, basta be sure to check that the oil is red-pink in color and smells sweet...otherwise, iwan mo yan, no mater what it look like.

vitara 2-door?o gusto mo talaga mini SUV...

Thanks sir yummy. Your post is very informative, although, because of the the contradicting posts here, im a bit confused now as regards the mini and the jr........You mentioned "660 turbo," for the paj jr., does this mean 660 cc displacement? But, some specs say "1100 cc a/t" for instance.Is this a different variant?

I also considered the vitara but, accordingly, it is a gas guzzler, especially the a/t model, isnt it?

1.6L dohc ang vitara, 2-door version, manual may be mas matipid, less weight,maybe..

baka nga iba ung 1.1L, pero most nakita ko noong nag-iikot ako for JDMs, are 660cc gasoline turbo with mostly A/T..pop the hood, pag may intercooler and turbo, at check mo ung VIN plate, nandun lahat un...

I have a couple of officemates both using 02 1.6l Vitara Matics. Accdg to them, they just get 5.5-6.5km/li on city driving.

Thanks for all the inputs. i appreciate it very much.

First generation Vitaras ('95 up) can do 7-9km/L on a light foot and stock tires.

[alwayz_yummy]

parang 2.0L! di nalalayo ata sa crv and rav4

[OTEP]

Yup. Because its built like a truck [heavy] and medyo old school so not as efficient.
