ideally mas maganda manual pero sa traffic sa metro manila mas ok talaga automatic. pwede naman mag switch sa 4WD habang tumatakbo sabi sa manual. pero di recommended and 4wd sa pavement use example cemented roads na basa lang sa ulan. 4wd high ay para sa sand, snow, loose gravel muddy roads etc afaik

The Truth About Cars has a review of the Suzuki Jimny by :question:.

Review: 2012 Suzuki Jimny, Philippine Spec, Tested In The Philippines | The Truth About Cars

The jiggly ride is particularly disconcerting. Twin live-axles give the Jimny better articulation than a professional pole-dancer but make the ride lumpier than her motel room mattress.

:bwahaha:

Just bumped my Jimny this morning. Arrggghhh.... I hit a delivery van and will probably need a new front bumper. More than the cost, I'm afraid baka walang available replacement bumper sa casa.

[foifoi05]

they are now selling the updated jimny. Saw one sa showrooms.


sidenote: grabe sa lakas ng gas nitong amin (AT), minsan umaabot pa ako ng 5kmL. But its so fun to drive lagi ko tuloy ginagamit. :D

Wow ang lakas pala sa gas ng matic. Ano ba yung usual milage na nakukuha sa matic?

Sorry to hear about your Jimny bro, were you able to find spares for your bumper?

Thanks. Meron naman replacement daw yung casa. Pero 6 working days na nasa casa, di pa tumatawag. Replace upper and lower bumper lang, katagal-tagal,,,

am seriously considering attaching bullbars, kahit pumangit ang Jimny ko.

Huh? 6days to replace a bumper assembly? Cant you just bring your unit in when they have the actual stock in hand so kabit nalang agad?

Re bullbars, if your bumper takes that much longer, maybe consider just replacing the whole thing with an ARB bumper/bullbar?

sir pwede ka pa fabricate ng ARB copy bumper kay monsterworx. better than ARB kasi steel siya, arb ay aluminum.

Hello mga sirs, bago lang ako sa tsikot.com

Ako po ay isang OFW na nagbabalak bumili ng 1st family car this coming November/December.
Isa ang Jimny sa aking napipili sana.

Tanong lang po: Resolved na po ba yung issue ng wobble sa Jimny?

[n_spinner06]

disclaimer: i don't own a jimny.

from what i have read, the latest jimny is mechanically identical to the previous models. that means that there would be similar issues. however, as far as i know, the wobble only gets troublesome after tire/suspension upgrades. That means keeping it stock would minimize the problem.

ps: maliit ata jimny for a family car sir...

Thanks for the response.

Been reading from other forums and viewing youtube videos regarding Jimny wobble as well.
Yes there have been claims that the wobble usually shows once tire/suspension upgrades have been done.
Although, I don't have any intent to do such upgrades and probably keep it stock as long as possible
But according to what I gather so far, the "fix" is to add "shims".
Hence my original enquiry, if the Jimny sold in the Philippines were already "fix"ed?
Hopefully, some of the Jimny owner's can confirm this, please...

Family of 4 lang kami, so sakto lang siya, but if si misis ang papipiliin, ecosport na lang daw

Ano ba yung wobble ng Jimny?

[crazy_boy]

just had the brake fluid of the jimny flushed and filled

[ninjababez]

just had the brake fluid of the jimny flushed and filled

bro im curious, lumampas ba ng 700 ml ang brake fluid na nai-bleed?

[crazy_boy]

^2 small bottles of Prestone brake fluid nagamit e. hindi ko napansin how many ml.

[minicarph]

that's why i got rid of mine a year pa lang, napansin ko na mahina aircon neto, considering na ang liit na nag cabin space tapos di makaya aircon. and ang mahal pa ng parts ng aircon neto.

Now that the rainy season is upon us, what is your recommended brand of wiper for our Jimny. Also, ano ba size ng wiper natin? Including the back if possible. Thanks.
