New Suzuki Jimny :-)

[Zak33]

I've just got off the phone, literally just now, with Phoenix Suzuki near me. They're quoting 10 months as a minimum, if I placed an order today, going up to 12-15 months on some specifications.
Can't say I'm surprised, not one bit.

Looking forward to my test drive on Monday now, will report back with how I find it. I'll be test driving the SZ5 ALL-GRIP model.



It certainly has all the basic, utilitarian qualities of a Defender, but to me, it looks just like a mini Mercedes G-Wagon.

agreed

Just need it in Obsidian Black and some Merc badges and you got yourself a £140k AMG G 63 wagon.

i tihnk i know why we all love it... so much...

it's just landed in my head from reading youtube comments.

it's a Land Rover Defender replacement isn't it? Not just a little bit.. it IS.

and it won't break

Either it won't break or its a replacement for the Defender. It can't be both.

unlike the view in the rear view mirror.. which we all know will stay (under any acceleration) similar unless you turn the wheel... these aint quick

Zak, the more reviews I watch and read, and the closer to Monday I get, the more I can see myself getting one of these in a year or two.

Now...don't hang me...but I don't see the appeal...

Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but I'm afraid that yours is wrong.

see that /\...he's right

everyone is right.. as long as trhey agree with me

Seriously though... it really IS an aquired taste.

it's like wanting to play Quake 2 or Unreal Tournament in 2019, on a Ryzen 8 core 16 thread with 16 gig ram and a GTX1060.....

oh hang on.... that's me too

it brings the quality of hardcore off roaders nearly into the 21st Century

[Macman]

Never been a fan of the Jimny myself. But I love the look of this one!

[Zak33]

be aware this little beasty is only a 3star NCAP rated car... but what a tool

[Zak33]

another proper off road challenge

and Exeter this morning ... nutty car sales men

Is it just me that can only say Jimny in the same voice they say Timmy! In South Park?
