Bear in mind im comparing it to my older modified one, but I was pleased with the new one. Easy to drive and comfy. No ball of fire, but much better than the old 1.3 to drive. Heated seats were my fav bit today, but also really pleased that the electric window switch is no longer at knee height :-)

Noticeably smaller than J999MNY




Yeah also used to a big jimny, the size thing bothers me a bit although I still think it looks way better stock than the stock Jimny it's replacing. The size thing is easily fixed though, and that's where the fun begins! Will be a bit of a wait before the stores like Jimnybits etc develop their products, although if we're lucky a few items will be directly transferrable.

I wonder regarding the suspension if the usual suspects (Trailmaster, etc) who've developed Jimny-specific lift kits will be transferrable. I'm sure the dampers will be, question is will the spring seats be same size, and how different will the radius arm geometry be.

Thanks for the feedback and the scanned accessory list, I've already spent a grand from seeing that! :D

Street pack from mats and rear parking sensors, front grille with Suzuki on it, load area tray, side body mouldings and tow bar and electrics. Kerching!

Colour photos of the accessories are available here: auto.suzuki.gr/photo/master/201809/sxz2g3c1536328343033.pdf

Thanks for the scan, £122 for a new gear knob :lol: . They sell touch up paint for the colours they don't offer too. :whistle:


Be nice if we could actually buy one, maybe the demonstrators will reduce the 11,000 enquiries to less than 600 orders.

The rev counter is on the wrong side! That will take some getting used to :(

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
