Next-Gen Suzuki Jimny

[dr. d]

most folks would choose the fort, hands down.
a select few, would go for the jimny.
"cult car."

I don't own a 5 dr but I own the 3 dr.

My thoughts on this is if you buy a Jimny, you want a Jimny.

So if your case right now is comparing it to a Forty, then probably you'll get better value with the Forty. Baka magsisi ka lang sa Jimny kasi. :D You buy it for what it is, and don't compare it to other bigger SUV's kasi you will likely end up regretting it eventually. :D

Personally, I won't buy the 5 dr, too expensive and somehow misses the true appeal of the Jimny (which is in 3 dr). I'd probably buy Corolla Cross instead (if I had the money)...

My personal take, get a 3 dr (when you can) or buy something else with better value.

Tanda ko pa dati ung lumang jimny around less than 900k lang. Then dumating etong new model na pumalo na sa 1m mark. Ofc di maiiwasang isipin ng iba na malaki ang itinaas mula dati. Ang problema kahit used units mataas pa ang prices. You will only get this one as an extra car na pang hobby kc lugi ka if gagamitin mo as an all-around ute or pang porma lang. Kahit ung 5-door hindi suited for family purposes. Also, sobrang hindi justifiable ung srp ng totl na archaic 4-speed a/t lang. Daig pa sya ng ags sa s-presso na naka 5-speed na kahit papano.

Seeking shop recommendations for JB74 PMS.

Preferably south Metro Manila or Laguna. Thanks.

Probably not... most LED headlights/taillights assembly are fixed set and good as disposable if it breaks.

Thanks. Was afraid this is the case.

Just had my diff/transfer case oils replaced yesterday 2 years and 3 months (ran 30k kms) from last drain.

- Front diff is still like new, so I plan to double the interval next time (4 years or 60k kms). Used Red Line 75W85 (as per manual also).
- Transfer case is also pretty clean, replaced it this time with Redline MT-90 (75W90). Interval should be 4 years or 60k kms as per manual so probably that's why it was still spanking clean.
- Rear diff, the shop recommended I go for a thicker oil (SAE110) - they had Amsoil 75W110 so I went for it (no stock for Redline). Hopefully it's not detrimental since it is a bit thicker than SAE90. But as pointed out, Diffs could be better protected with a slightly thinker oil especially the rear one.

May I ask where you had your diff/transfer case oils changed?
