Suzuki JIMNY [merged threads]

[n_spinner06]

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 :-)

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!

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

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,

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.
