New owner, very happy !!!! was created by dj.brian
Hi all.
Just bought myself a 2001 jimny auto cabrio with genuine 32,000 miles and fsh
Bought it after having a major spine op 18 months ago and testing about 10 other cars, including a smart car, mondeo, sedona, charade, focus etc etc.
Even though the ride is a bit "shakey" at times, the seat is excellent ! I think it is the lumbar support in it, best I have driven so far.
Low insurance, good MPG, good looking, good fun, convertible.............and comfy, excellent...:woohoo:

Never thought of one before.
What more could you want ?
Convertible for the summer, auto, and 4 wheel drive for the snow !

What do you call good economy ?
I fancy an auto but was lead to believe mid 20's was about the average for mixed driving.

I do a 16 miles trip into work, Croydon to Brixton, many speed humps, average about 14mph (checked in my mondeo), I am getting between 31-34mpg at the mo.......not bad as my mondeo does 21mpg on the same trip !

Not checked it on a long run as it was bought for my commute.
