Suzuki Jimny - Any good?

[Captiva Fan]

It'll be reliable, it'll be reasonable on beaches & other places where light weight helps it offroad (& power isn't needed), it'll fit you inside it surprisingly well despite it's size 'cos it's so tall, but it'll shake your fillings out.

Used to sell 'em new @ the dealership I worked at.... they are shitter than something really shit.....

[dhs]

get a Suzuki Sierra instead

Geez and they were calling me gay. :p

[GT R31]

Yeh, buy one and throw a rainbow sticker on it.

They are good if you go dune bashing on the beach. Other than that a POS.

i wonder how many nay-sayers have driven one.
i have driven one and was happy enough with it. they are awesome on the beach and the aussie 4wd mag took one unmodified across the simpson desert no dramas.

On the back of a trailer..... boom-tish

Ok, I think I can see a trend here...

The shake your fillings out is what I'm worried about.

[hgmonaro]

the ride will get worse when you stick some 33" tyres on it too!

[Puff_Datto]

if this is your issue stay away from anything 4wd/commercial...

true that

We had a sierra for a while (don't ask) it cost bugger all to run and was fun for the first day or so but after the novelty wore off it drove me mental.

They are mega unsafe to drive....given the choice between one of these and my dads sit on lawn mower for a syd to brisbane trip....I would pick the lawnmower (serious).

In fact, my dad's yamaha golf cart would handle better than and also have better NVH outcome.

Ive been in a new Sierra, Awsome little car but they have enought room.

Cheap new
Good motor
Light
Great economy
Decent 4x4 capability

Basically, I'm looking for a cheap runabout and these grabbed my attention because they have the fuel efficiency without being a starlet/echo/jazz etc. Offroad capability aside, I really need it to cart me around. My main concern is it riding like a truck.

trucks ride better
