The jimny need a more powerful Motor,maybe a little Diesel like the Fiat Panda or a Turbo in the petrol motor.. This is the reason i buy a Grand vitara,but the Diesel from Renault is a little bit prone to have problems..
*THE GIBBONS* offroad yes, but when you can afford only one car for everyday use and offroad you need a little bit more power for overtakes and acceleration.
