top speed was created by jed60

What is the top speed supposed to be of an 05 plate jimny? I have just followed one along the A43 from Brackley to the M1. I topped 100 mph flat out and could not catch it. It was a scruffy one with a female driving and I just let her go.My 100 mph was keeping up but I could not get any closer. My wife has one and I now expect her to get home from work in 20 mins. not the 45 she takes.

Suzuki's claimed top speed is 87mph. I don't think I would like to try that in mine, and I suspect if one was doing a true 100mph it must have had an engine transplant.

I swear to god that it was doing 100. It looked standard but I could not catch her to talk to let alone look under the bonnet! The out side did not have any goodies fitted, it looked bog standard.

I've had an indicated 95ish out of mine it was wavering around there. I can just get about 80 on a looooong road but it doesn't sound or feel healthy!

I rarely go over 60-65 and its not until you sit with the wagons on motorways at those speeds you realise just how fast the rest are going.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

I must add that it was on a dual carriage way but it looked pretty stable. I wanted to get close to see what happened at the roundabout but couldn't catch her. The old bill would have had a field day as she had a youngster sitting beside her.
