I opted for a clean white seat covers to give that very clean Jimny look to compliment the clear tint (Nano Tech Clearsky 9060):

Very great photo shots.

I'm contemplating getting a black one too.

Also trying to visualize if ok na paint yung spare tire cover na black din.

[teteng]

Bro, kagabi pa lang pinapanood ko na vids mo (sa iyo pala yung lumang vid ng gen 1 black apv with a young girl outside, hehe!).

May isa kang video dun na night or dawn, basta madilim pa rough road na kayo?

Ilang hours mo kinuha QC to Baguio? Where did you get your Sagada tour guide?

Pagbalik mo with your kids, jimny pa din ba gagamitin mo or apv since madami dami kayo niyan?

Congrats to the 3 of you for a successful roadtrip!

- Yes, Suzuki big fan ako hehe. Bad trip lang kse nagkaparehas ng coding day APV at Jimny ko. Pero ok lang meron pa akong ibang nagagamit na kotse,

May isa kang video dun na night or dawn, basta madilim pa rough road na kayo?
- Yes gabi yun pauwi na sa Rock Inn Hotel. We went out that afternoon kaya gabi na umuwi. But it's totally safe although meron curfew sa Sagada 9pm.

Ilang hours mo kinuha QC to Baguio?
- 6 hrs nung papunta. 4 hrs pabalik ng Baguio (medyo hataw to). Gamit ko lang gps ng android phone ko. I used Navigator kse gps lang kailangan and not wifi connection.
Btw, walang signal mobile and wifi sa Sagada. Limitied spots lang meron signal.

Where did you get your Sagada tour guide?
- You have to register at the tourist municipal hall. Dun nakakuha ako ng tour guide and map and tour info.

Pagbalik mo with your kids, jimny pa din ba gagamitin mo or apv since madami dami kayo niyan?
- Gusto ko Jimny pa rin with roof rack. And baka that time magaling na mag drive 2 kids ko kaya baka maka score pa ako ng 1 more Jimny nun para 2x Jimny dala ko.

Congrats to the 3 of you for a successful roadtrip!

- Thanks man!

great thread! i am living my dream as last march 27, i took delivery of a bluish black unit from wheels e rod! i had to choose from a variety of brands and models (yaris, jazz, swift, and ecosport) but i have so far not regretted the fact that i chose a two door 4x4 as our second vehicle.

my first impressions: macupad, matagtag, at masikip...but i won't trade it for anything else! this thing has a lot of character! this reminds me so much of my parents' nissan safari - but an ultra diminutive version of the beast!

im looking forward to learning more about the jimny and hopefully, share some experiences with it, soon.

ingat po!

[thebat]

Batchmate! Congrats on your new ride. Sarap gamitin yan go anywhere vehicle.

[teteng]

Question po, 2015 jimny owners, regarding temperature gauge: mine reaches 5 bars, is that ok?

Medyo naninibago pa ako sa automatic transmission ng jimny, hehe....

Thanks!

[bagwis]

Batchmate! Congrats on your new ride. Sarap gamitin yan go anywhere vehicle.

Thank you, batchmate!

Congrats sa first long trip mo with the love of your life, and your wife. Panalo!

Regarding the temp gauge - yes sir, five bars here too.

It was a perfect trip! Baguio-Sagada-Baguio (then back home in QC). Super in love with the Jimny at ang sarap i-drive. Best of all lahat ng off road trails (super steep and rocky) sisiw na inakyat ng Jimny. Ang solid pala nito! Nabilib nga yung guide ko natuwa sa Jimny kse naakyat at narating namin yung mga peak (Marlboro Hills, Kiltepan, Danum Lake, Bokong Falls, etc etc. Sobrang happy kme ng wife ko. Ang galing ng 4WD nya. Di ko lang nagamit yung 4WDL kse yakang yaka sa 4WD.

Will post some photos and video link later :-)

how i envy you! buti ka pa. haha. another question if you don't mind...how was the fuel consumption?

Ang kinuha ko lang yung from Petron Commonwealth to Petron Rosario (La Union bago paakyat ng Kennon) - 212.6km naglalaro speed ko sa 100 - 120km/hr =
212.6km/17.57liters = 12.11
Next time try ko kunin yung average ng 2k rpm (80km speed) para makuha ko best mileage.

Not bad na. Matic yung sayo sir db? Manual yung target ko sana dis year...bka masmaganda konti konsumo...ilang rpm yung 100kph? 3k na?

[thebat]

Yung 100kph pag patag gaya ng TPLEX nasa 2.7-2.8. Pero minsan pumapalo din ng 3k. Yes AT gamit ko. Pag nakabili ka ng Manual pahiram ha, try ko manual, palit tayo sandali :-)

Eto pala take note: Matindi yung blind spot nya. Driver's side na left pilar. Lalo na pag twisties kaya minsan I lean forward para makita ko yung left side blind spot.

Pero yung tunog ng makina nya maganda. Di sya high rev sounding. Tapos parang electric car gamit mo pag off road 4WD :-). It just keeps on going kahit super rocky and steep climbing. Tama yung definition na para syang mountain goat!

Thank you, sir!

Another question to those with automatics po:

Kasi sa A/T di ba there's D, 2, and L (jimny nga meron pang 3) and normally we just leave our gear at D except kung steep yung slope going up or down.

But I have heard other A/T drivers who claim that they habitually start from L and work their way up to D, just like driving a manual but without having to worry about the clutch pedal.

If you get the hang of it, mas maganda daw ang arangkada and/or mas matipid?

Any comments, please?

Thank you,

[dr. d]

Thank you,

in my opinion, there's no point in buying an AT, and still insist on raking thru the stick. i just go to D and let the car take it from there.
if arangkada is at the top of your performance list, AT should be at the bottom of your shopping list.

Sige sir. Pinagdadasal at pinagiipunan pa...baka pm kita 1 of these days regarding yung down, monthly, etc.

[minicarph]

Hi question po sa mga Jimny MT JX owners, ok po ba sya sa day to day bumper to bumper Manila driving, Hindi ba matagtag or masakit sa pwet in case lagi na locked sa traffic. We're originally planning to get a swift MT but siguro mas ok Kung mas Mataas na din coz the rainy season is s coming

[minicarph]
