Next-Gen Suzuki Jimny

[monhwan]

The agent called me and said he has one more unit available, a grey GL MT which no one in the wait list want. If any of you are fine with this with manual transmission, you can jump the line and own this now He is from Suzuki QAve, Estong 0995-0988542. Cheers!

Hopefully by this week, the agent called me today!

Synchronized yata sila ah, hahahaha! My agent also called me up last Tuesday (6/25) telling me there are a few units coming... however, I am still not included BUT my co-worker (he is #9 and I am #10) made it to the list for this batch. Called her up yesterday since I really wanted to "kilatis" the GLX in the metal but seems there was some kind of confusion, hindi pa daw dumating ang units and they are unsure if it was shipped to Manila (from JP) or from Manila (to Cebu).

My co-worker (Mr. #9) was so excited he thought he could already drive home his new Jimny this weekend... apparently not yet so.

This brings back that familiar eternal wait.[emoji4]....mod-shop ahead of the car to while it away.[emoji4]

Yes I got mine! But now, 3-4 weeks wait for the LTO reigstration I'm trying to post some pics here but an error message "tsikot page isn't working" comes up. I'll give a review when I get the chance.

Hindi pa raw nadeliver sa kanila, even the floor mats. [emoji53] The gray unit nakasabay ko rin yung bumili kanina. For financing but maunahan siya ng cash buyers kaya nagcash din siya haha

In the manual, the "preferred" oil is the 0w-30 this might be the fully synthetic ones, but the lower grade oils are also compatible like 5w-30, 10w-30, 15w-40, and 20w-40 within the range of freezing environment to tropical weather. The pms is scheduled at 1k or 1 month (optional oil change), 5k then every 5k or every 4 months which ever comes first This was explained to me by another staff maybe she's the customer service advisor. I told her that I think 4 months is too short for pms interval. She said it's a must for the 1st year then for the 2 yrs remaining warranty period they can accept every 6 months. Also since the LTO reg is late to be released so I will be usng the Jimny sparingly, they can accept the first 1k in 2 months not 1. Oh ok haha

The short drive from casa to my house with stop and go traffic around Banawe area says average of 5.6 km/l at the digital meter. I will observe this more.

Recommended fuel is unleaded RON91 or higher.

The audio system with a big touchscreen display (like an ipad mini I think), is easy to operate. It has a lot of functions BT, usb flash, usb ipod, aux jack, mini sd slot, FM/AM, no cd, the manual says can hook an AV connection like TV plus but should be connected at the back of the unit so needs disassembling. I've tried the radio and mini sd with mp3s works nice. The radio seeks fm stations fine with not much static, the mp3's plays well with big displays of the filename and tag if any. And there is also the offline Nav, another mini sd card slot for the maps was installed by the agent. I haven't tried much of this yet. I think this is not an Android platform which would have been better for internet connectivity. Well the nav would have been useless if you can use apps like waze and gmaps.

One con for me is the cabin light, it is positioned in front like the map lights and there is no rear cabin light, so it's a little dark when I open the boot while I was tinkering around the back this evening.

Then in the manual, the headlight, park light, signal lights, cabin lights have detailed instructions how to change them for the base model like I have. The GLX model with the LED headlights and other LED lights should be brought to the dealer when problems occur in the future, looks like source of hassles for the future.

Hope these infos will be useful for you guys. Cheers!

I bought in Lazada some rubber mats and the wheel nut tire lock with key for the spare.

Hi! Yes GL AT model, sayang hindi pa nila sinama yun.

Update on FC: I full tanked (auto stop) the Jimny today using Cleanfuel premium 95 octane, reset km/l meter and drove from West Ave. area to Diliman area with light to moderate traffic and moderate rains. The meter read 13.3 km/l. The first FC I reported yesterday is not accurate since I forgot to reset the meter getting it from the casa. Hopefully next week when I fill my tank again and compute the mileage manually to get a better idea of it's city driving FC.

You're welcome! 3 units lang daw na GLX ang dumating for this batch kaya I decided to go with the GL para makakuha na
