mga JIMNIES!! ask ko lang kung sulit iswap ang mazda 3 2.0 model 05 ko sa suzuki jimny? eto kasi dahilan ko kaya gusto ko swap:

1. Iba na panahon ngayon bigla na lang babaha sa hindi binabahang place.. pag naka mazda 3 ako nako kakaba kaba ka na pag malakas ulan.
2. after ng ulan naman. im sure merong butas butas na daan lalo na sa mga asphalt road.
3. 1.3 lang sya, im sure matipid sya compare sa mazda 3 2.0 ko.

ano kaya sa tingin nyo mga sir? sana matulungan nyo ko haha..

sir paolo, kung 1-2 lang kayo daily gagamit ok lang. pero kung may kids o may uupo sa likod, medyo hassle mag-move in and out.
regarding sa fuel consumption expect 8-9km/liter. di naman mabigat maintenance ng jimny.
mine, regular change oil lang. 2005 a/t model sa akin. it's my daily drive but we have a family car for the wife and kids.

Hi Guys, I'm a new member. My Dad is thinking of buying me a second hand car first because I'm a new driver. Coincidentally, my uncle is selling his 2003 A/T Jimny. He's selling it for 385k? What's the ongoing market price now? Also, how much do you think would it cost daily in gas if for example you'll just be shuttling in between Katipunan and North Ave. Triangle Area? Or how much your gas consumption would be? Thank you for those who can answer my questions.

I'm a girl and the jimny is not a typical car for girls here in our country but I'm not one for conventional cars. I like the functionality of it when there's floods and for rough roads in the province.

[olidotcom]

a A/T Jimny drinks around 7 to 10 kilometers/liter afaik

Im assuming that the Jimny 2003 is and currently in good working condition.. (no damage-nothing to fix) then the price i believe is quite fair enough.

[paolo37]

hi mga sir, ask ko lang po kung meron kayong kilala na nag sesell ng jimny nila? and anong model po ng jimny yung shift knob wala ng pindutan para mailipat sa ibang option like Neutral, Drive, Park and so on? 2005 model po ba yung wala na syang pindutan sa shift knob?

[OTEP]

My current girlfriend and the one before her both drove 2003 Jimnys. Other female doctors here also drive Jimnys.

A 2003 Jimny with 60-70 thousand kms sells for Php350k for an automatic variant in good condition.

2005 models started using the gated shifter and went to a push button 4wd system as well (older Jimnys had two shifters sticking out of the floor). Though a bit debatable, us old school guys still prefer a shift it yourself 4wd system instead of that pushbutton affair. But both of them work well enough for most terrain you will subject the Jimny to.

ok sir salamat.. so 2005 model pala and dapat hanapin ko para mejo bago na dahil sa push button at sanay kasi ako sa foot shifter ganun kasi sa mazda 3, mejo alam ko lumang style na yung sa stick shift yung pag shift ng gear,, salamat ulit sir, sana makahanap na ko ng jimny 2005 model...

[larshell]

In addition to Dok Otep's comments, Push button shifter for 4wd is a lot more convenient than the stick type and it will give you extra cup holder. BTW both are electronic driven. Meaning stick shifter is not directly connected to Tcase same with the push button. Good luck.

[battaglin]

To add also, the 2005 models have different interiors. namely the dashboard, seat fabrics, side panels too. mags for the 2005 is the 5spoke design. earlier models have the triangular design wheels.
good luck!

[paolo37]

ok mga sir salamat,,, sana maka kita na ko for sale 2005 model, mga magkano kaya dapat ang price ng 2005 jimny? and ano dapat mga titingnan ko before ko kunin? kung nabaha ba?

[cktlcmd]

ako ang car ko bago ako bumili ng Jimny 2 months ago, is a 1 year old Ford Fiesta with only 12000 km on the odometer. my main reason for swapping... baha at road conditions dito sa CDO, Bukidnon, Iligan, etc...

so far... no complains ako sa performance... ok lang pala yun "talbog" sanay na ako sa jeep sa Manila. :-) isa sa nagustohan ko is tahimik ang underchasis di tulad sa Fiesta na may tumutunog. :-) sa Jimny... solid ang feel ng pang ilalim. :-)
