Wasn't expecting as much as £2.5k between specs (€2k in mainland Europe)
Was on the fence about which model to go for.
Steel wheels it is then!

If they offered the auto box on the SZ4, I think I'd join you (although would miss heated seats!), but I believe they only offer the auto on the SZ5 and I want to get away from swapping cogs.

That is a good down to earth review.
Re. their comments about the ride being considerably better than the outgoing model, I wonder whether there is actually any difference. If there is some improvement it may well be that the springs and shocks could be fitted to the older model and offer the same benefits. Or it could just be that the older one they drove had 30psi in the tyres...

If the pricing has been revealed it must be a leak. Dealers going to event early December for what they understand will be the release of information.

Dealer principals going to launch driving event in Bulgaria around the same time.

Position on accessories not yet decided on UK. Very fancy catalogue of accessories that are available in Japan may not appear in UK. This is said to be because UK is reluctant to buy into it because of the restricted volumes of the cars themselves. Why have a comprehensive set of accessories for only a few cars.

Hopefully UK dealers will stock a subset of the accessories catalogue with the most popular items available here, otherwise I'm going to have to start learning Japanese to order direct!

My dealer (Hodgson Suzuki Newcastle) is at a launch event for the new Jimny today. He was under the impression that they would get the pricing information at the same time.
