I definitely agree with your review of the Jimny. I got my first Jimny in 1980. Replaced it in 1990 and again in 2005. You could call me a fanboy, and I admit loving this little marvel to bits. I used to live on a small Tasmanian Island, so driving long distances was never an issue. My off-roading consisted only with dirt roads and beach travel. I can recommend the Jimny to anyone loving small cars. All three were absolutely reliable, and I had never any problems. I live now in the city, still have my Jimny and would not hesitate to get another Jimny. However, being now 77 years, I would buy an automatic one!
With HT tires my new jimny did 5.8L/100km, with AT tires its 6.3L/100km on inter city paved road. You can do it if you keep the car speed below 90km/H.
i love the car. My biggest hesitation is the 300kg payload. By the time i put myself and my wife in and a tank of petrol there isn't much allowance for mods and luggage.
But you have a point. The doubled gastank ads already 30 kg fuel. Max on the roof I saw specified max 30 kg. Let’s say, you spent allready 5 kg on the rack. In EU there is a version without backseats. That is a gain as most users have them down anyway. But one man 85 kg and wife xx kg and you are getting close to the max. I would like to have this car for me and my two dogs 2x 10 kg. The wife may take a seat at rare occasions ;)
I swapped to the mud tires by BFG.Know a few things fuel consumption went up, the tires often slip and skid on wet roads ,the vehicle is sluggish on takeoff .If you swap to these types of tires weigh the pros and cons
The 3 star safety rating was low because is was bad at pedestrian safety. I would care about what is inside. 73% adults 84% kids 52% pedestrians 50% safety assist Good for me
Would a compressor be a better option than Turbo, by gradually getting more power at higher revs? What would be the best to have more power but less revs at >60 mph?
Nice video! I really like your tyres. I'm thinking of getting some all-terrains that fit with the stock alloy rims. My concern is if it would void warranty at all? I understand bigger tyres would also adjust the speedometer, could I get this adjusted so it is accurate? Thanks for the advice.
@@soheil8317 i paid in ILS so i don't know how much it will tell you. cars are super expensive here because of taxes so it's nothing to go by for the rest of the world
