Love the little Jimny . Great for city driving and easy to park. I would say bit expensive compared to other vehicles. Interior is very sparse with a… Read more
tiny glove box , far to small storage compartments in the doors and middle console. Pity it doesn’t have an engine temperature gauge or digital speedo. The cruise control is a welcome addition and works well. If auto high beam lights are your thing then great. I personally prefer regular high beam lights. Electric Window switches on center console underneath the miniature lcd display. Not the best spot for these in my book. Haven’t done any long distance driving in the jimny but the seats seem comfortable for a road trip. If the above mentioned items were added and storage compartments improved, it would be a perfect little suv.

I bought this adorable little car second-hand 10 years ago, and in the time I've had it, it's been ridiculously cheap to run, cheap to service, and… Read more
wonderfully dependable.
THE GOOD:
✅ Fuel economy has been great. ✅ Parts have been relatively easy to source. Japanese make and very practical. When I needed a clutch cable for it in 2020 I was easily able to find what I needed cheaply from a Suzuki wrecker. ✅ It's fitted with a timing chain, not a belt, so it doesn't require replacement at intervals like many cars this size would! ✅ Apart from regular maintenance and oil changes, I haven't had to do much except change the tyres and battery periodically. Very undemanding, cheap and reliable! ✅ It's tall on the inside. I've moved house twice with this car and transported all sorts of furniture either in the car, or on the roof racks! ✅ Wonderfully small and able to fit into many parking spots that drivers of fancier or bigger cars wouldn't dare attempt ✅ Excellent driver visibility because of the high seat position.
THE BAD: - It's a light and teeny little car, so the road noise is definitely present, especially when on highways. - With a 1.3L engine, it lacks the power that a bigger car gets (but it is very cheap to run). The Manual transmission definitely helps with taking off. The air conditioner on/off button serves as the turbo button. - The car is tall, but not long. Back seats are a little pokey to sit in. - The turning circle is surprisingly wide for such a small wheel span; doing a U-turn on some narrower streets requires a 3-point turn. - It's been a popular second-hand car for this vintage, but in more recent years, sourcing some parts has become harder as the car becomes less common.

and helpful. Just had its first 1000 km check. Everything works perfectly and it’s a smooth, comfortable safe ride with sensors and cameras from and back. Roomy boot, leather two tone seats. I’m enjoying driving this.

Suzuki Jimny Lite 2022 – Too much FUN, it's the FEEL of the CAR, when you jump in! The only two criticisms I have, is 1) Speedo/Rev Counter difficult to read in Australian… Read more
Sunshine, 2) Drifts right on standard tyres (Dunlop AT20, 195/80/15) when cornering, a bit more than you'd expect ... so need to change driving style (also looking at upgrade of tyres). GREAT FUN CAR. Could be the "Last Real 4WD! (2023) ... Having driven it for a while now, 1000kms plus, pack a bolster on those long road trips for extra comfort, as seats quite "hard" on long, long trips (14.5km/l) ... and Windscreen is "bug" magnet, so maybe coat with something like "Rainex" to help keep glass clean, but driving and going "off road", ANYWHERE ... still FUN!
