Suzuki JIMNY [merged threads]

So I have finally driven my wife's new Jimmy. She loves and enjoying it very much.
No fuel consumptions comparison for now, too early to tell and due to my limited few days driving it.
My initial observation and experience was this car is fun to drive. It doesn't accelerate as fast as most sedan or to me my comparison which is a 2.0 Tucson but it holds itself with its own personality.
Perhaps due to the 4x4 design which are mostly designed as low speed and not to go fast.
Steering is a bit harder but good enough trade off for having a solid front axle configuration. Solid axles are more user-friendly if you intend to lift the vehicle or do some serious offroading.
Overall, I love this car too and it's a keeper.

FC usually ranges from 7km/l to 10km/l depending on driving style and conditions for M/T. Our Jimny deteriorated over the last few years due to poor maintenance that's why I'm saying it's at 7km/l, but I distinctly remember computing the 10km/l and was actually surprised because it was mostly short trips with traffic years before.

Yes, matagtag talaga siya at maalog sa loob. I agree its fun to drive and its versatile.

Mabagal siya. 80kph medyo sagad na pakiramdam, definitely not your first choice for highway travel. Masikip rin ang feeling pag nasa loob, lalo na kung rear passenger ka. :D

It's uniqueness makes it stand out. Still a very good vehicle especially if you're into that 4x4 stuff.

FC of m/t jimny for manila-makati driving is 7-8km/l only. highway was able to achieve 12km/l.

*kotiko 80K sagad na yung pakiramdam? Does that mean hirap sya sa skyway or sa NLEX? Around what rpm when you're driving at 80? - just concerned bec my wife really wants to get one next year

Any 4x4 vehicle have low gearing configurations. They are very torquey but are relatively short on hiway runs. Their power are geared on pulling and uphill (torque) not on top speed sir.

Kaya naman more than 100kph ang jimny. Mataas na rpm at that point.

When i test drived the unit, i found it was ok up to around 30/40kph. But that was because i was just going around some streets not sa highway. I guess at 80-90kph youll still get where youre going anyway, it would just take a bit longer. But i can imagine napakadali gamitin to for city driving..and parking. Thanks for feedback guys
