Test drive one first and decide if you think its a good idea. Try hanging out here at the forum. Maybe a Tsikoteer would be kind enough to give you a ride around the block in their Jimny.

Common problems between the two units:
*Passenger seat rattles when no one is sitting on it. Not so hard to fix.
*Seatback folding knob also rattles. Again, not hard to fix.
*Front wheels needed balancing
*No lock for spare tire and spare tire cover (I put in a locking lug nut to fix that)
*Fuel economy may surprise you. It's not a Honda Jazz but a Honda Jazz can't drive through bumper deep waters also.

Otherwise, the thing is next to indestructible if you don't abuse it.

Sir, about the passenger seat rattling, how did you fix that problem? That problem has been bugging me since we bought our Jimny two years ago. Had it checked at the casa and they can not seem to make the rattling sound go away. What I do is recline the backseat and try to lean it against the rear cup holder. Maybe you can help me. Thanks

I put a huge book on the front seat in the meantime. On the first jimny, we put some clutch pedal springs on the seat slide adjuster with the other end on the seat frame.

Havent gotten around to check where this one is rattling so the book works well enough. Hehe

wifey used the jimny today. while stuck in traffic sa santolan parang nag shake daw while the a/t tranny was at N. parang mamamatay daw engine. although idle was 800-900 at that time. tested it again dito paguwi nya and everything was ok
