just came back from Laiya, Batangas.... was only able to get up to 130kph momentarily on the Star Tollway, before I ran out of road... pangit din kasi sa cemented portions; sa asphalt lang nakakatakbo ng mabilis... I wish I could install a vacuum gauge na on the car. Would really like to see what is the most economical speed for the Jimny. Running at 120-130ph at over 4000rpm is certainly not economical.

130 km/h !!!! 80km/h lang pinakamabilis ko sa jimny. kaya pala. BTW sobra choppy yan highway na yan

dunno why I can't update my previous post... anyway, I got gas this morning, and was pleased to see I got 13km/liter on the Batangas trip (280km from SLEX to Laiya and back + 80km city driving).

Btw, currently the cheapest gas I've seen is at Total on EDSA near Boni: unleaded P47.60 per liter, including a P1.00/liter discount. That's P0.50 lower than the gas I get from the office with P1.50 discount.

130 kph! Ayos! Umabot ako minsan ng 125 kph ata sa SCTEX. Nanginig yung side mirrors ko. Hehe.

Hi fellow Jimny-atics! (hope you like the term).

I have spent a lot of time viewing reviews, blogs, threads for Suzuki Jimny and i cant help falling in love with this Lil' Mighty SUV.
problem is that i am still saving money to buy it!, Yes! i already know some of the pros and cons of this car, and i am thinking twice whether should i buy a 2nd hand (2003 to 2005) or brand new 2010 (for my first car).
Can you please please give me comparisons of Jimny 2nd hand and Brandnew?
which is way better in terms of;
1.Fuel Consumption
2.Design (although nothing much changed)
3.Performance
4.Reliability
5.(please add up other factors) ^_^

also, just to add up, is Shaider's SUV a jimny? hehe

please do comment. Thanks so much!
Nathan

Parking is also cheap in Total boni!

Yep. Shaider drove a Jimny. The older one. Sort of a shortened Zuk Samurai.

Performance is slow. Reliability is next to bulletproof (nothing seems to break).
