2005 Suzuki Jimny A/T
MAtagtaG
mABAGAL
Masikip
Malakas sa Gas (8 to 9km per liter) Dont get fooled by the 1300cc hehehehe
When we bought it i expected the three characteristics.
but the fuel consumption was a dissapointment.
But am loving it! hehehehe
Another thing, battery is quite a pain in the a s s not much choice but to one single brand (GS). why? it requires small post with reverse polarity
maintenancE?
Its got 15000km reading and only oil change was done(every 5k). and ako na lang nagpalit para mura hehehehehe
Mga pre meron kaming 2002 Suzuki Jimny MT. This has the dated dashboard and cheap plastics all around which I really despised pero wala akong magagawa dahil si erpat ang may gusto nito... Kinda right considering that time na wala ka ng mabibiling cheap 4x4 cute-ute na 600k... Expand ko lang yung earlier thread...

True. sasakit talaga kasu-kasuhan mo after a long stretch of potholes along the San Jose Del Monte Bulacan Area pero ok lang naman ang ride pagdating sa mga aspaltadong lugar ng makati. Siguro ang nagpalala lang sa kaso namin e in-upgrade ni erpat yung stock mags & tires to 17 inch mags & Pirelli tires... imagine that... not a livable car pero dagdag pogi points lang...
mABAGAL
Ang dahilan kung bakit mabagal eto e dahil sa curb weight ng sasakyan. When I went for the test drive sa Suzuki Commonwealth, kumuha na rin ako ng brochure ng Sentra bee-hive version... Lo & behold parehas ang curb weight ng Sentra 1.3 at Jimny 1.3...
Whats really bad is that the SUV is not torquey... kaya ayun mabagal talaga... hirap pa paabutin ng 100kph
Masikip
2 6-footer guys can be accomodated without problem sa harap with the seats at the farthest slide setting... sa Likod... 2 5'6 na tao siguro can ride comfortably... dont bother squeezing 5 sa SUV na to kasi talaga namang magiging parusa ang ride.
Malakas sa Gas
We get 9-10 kasi nga hindi naman pwede sa hatawan to... U will just get frustrated kung gusto mo tumakbo ng mabilis... Kaya leisure driving lang talaga kaya as a result you get fuel savings ng konti...
Add the curb weight facts described above... kaya hindi ito gas misser... buti pa ang Rav4 2.0 na 3-door, 8km/liter pero mabilis naman...
Mechanicals
Add to the cheap plastic feeling... parang ang konti ng insulation na nilagay dito dahil lahat ng bagay dito e parang ramdam na ramdam mo... When you brake... parang ramdam mo yung caliper na kumakagat sa brake pads at disc... when you pull up the hand brake parang ramdam mo yung clicks ng mechanicals sa ilalim...
Pero ok yung feeling ng pag engage ng 4x4... pag ine-engage mo yung manual gear mararamdaman mo rin yung pag engage sa ilalim. Pero even using 4x4 cannot make you go faster unlike sa Pajero na when you engage the 4x4 you feel better grip at faster acceleration from a standstill.
Maintenance
Very cheap... it already clocked 45,000km for 3 years... wala pang major na piyesang pinalitan..
Accesories
Very basic walang cupholders.. fabric seats lang... CD Radio with 2 speakers... bad trip yun... hindi man lang stock na 4 speakers...
Verdict
You are completely out of your mind to choose this as your primary car... It pretty lives up to its purpose for us as a weekend car or a toy car or an enthusiast car or a car to show to the world that I can buy any car I like kasi gusto ko lang...
Nung November 2002... I was vouching for the Hyundai Matrix because of the interior design of the car... mas mura pa sa Jimny that time...
Pero what the heck kung wala kaming Jimny e di hindi ko nasulat tong litanyang to! :twak2:
*mikmik316: good summary! :grin:
That's why we didn't get one when we were offered it as a trade for our Sentra FE 1.3 . It's a much cuter and possibly more fun (off-road, that is...) choice than the FE, but it just didn't have the same utility.
I'm still dreaming of it as a third car... since we already have a Crosswind and a sedan, we don't need another big vehicle, but we do need the extra wheels.
