Yes, sir. M/T po yung Jimny ko.

Tingin ko, 32-35 liters lang talaga yung tank, puwera yung reserve. Ayoko umabot sa reserve eh. Nerbiyoso ako at ayoko maubusan at magtulak...

Sir, also, if madalas ka mag low fuel, mabilis masira yung fuel pump and injectors since it will be sucking all the dirt in the tank. And hihina din yung pump since madalas makahigop ng hangin

di naman... ngayon ko lang pina-abot ng 300km, out of curiosity. I usually fill up once a week, or pag half-tank na lang. Lately lang, pinapa-abot ko muna ng 200km, para umabot ng P1,000 and makabili ng Porsche toy cars sa Petron, hehe...

same with my gauge, ang bilis niya mag 1/2 from full. Then around 32 liters ang karga niya kapag almost empty na ang gauge.

Parang ang lakas ko pala sa gas. I forgot if I even break 250kms. Matic po yung unit.

Mga sirs, which is better A/T or M/T? I'm planning to buy a Jimny for light offroading. Quite amazed with the capabilities of the Jimny compared to heavier 4x4s. This won't be a daily or main vehicle, just for fun. Planning to just change tires and install lockers, maybe some lift. TIA.

Do you want to have full control of your vehicle while going off road on rocks and mud? Are you confident in your clutch control? If not, then an AT trans should be better for you. If you would rather put more of your focus on the road and choosing the best lines then not having to deal with gearing up and down is better. All you have to do is be familiar with the different settings for the AT trans and it will serve you well off road. I've taken my stock vitara on some light off roading and it was a breeze and quite enjoyable using the AT trans. Some worry that going down hill on an AT is scary since it has reduced engine braking, but I found that putting it to L gear provided enough engine braking for me to not even keep my foot on the brake all the time downhill.

Here's a link regarding AT or MT for off roading:
