The Jimny has now sailed through 9k miles on the odometer and nothing of any significance to report, other than I continue to smile when behind the wheel.


They are rather boring in that regard. I've thrown it at every obstacle imaginable, including a 1200km round trip to drive one of the worst roads in Africa, Baboon's pass (23km of continuous grueling obstacles at 2800m above sea level). I have now covered 27000km without a single issue.



OMFG....... Do i have that right, your gen 4 has done 27,000 km ??? 16,777 miles.

Awesome!!


Certainly has. Almost due for it's second service.

…….. and the really good news is ……. The Gen 4 Jimny seems to be a well sorted and reliable vehicle. Phew! I did worry that the new model might not be but now I feel a warm glow of contentment.

Done around 2000 miles so far in my Blue SZ5 extremely happy with it, two points at the moment:
  1. Is anyone else experiencing problems with Android Auto/Car Play just refusing to connect, I'm having to factory reset the entertainment system every time this crops up which seems to resolve the issue, except that I have to set up the damn thing again and again.
  2. Is anyone else missing the clips for the floor mats? The dealership threw the rubber mats in with the purchase but it does concern me when they move underfoot

Im having same issues with android auto thingy and my floor mats (eco version) are kaput! The hook-in clips have disintergrated and a new set is now needed. Clearly the car is built to last, but the mats not so much.

I've found 2 consistent ways to connect with android auto : 1. Plug phone in, turn ignition on then wait for it to connect before starting engine. 2. Start engine, then plug phone in. If either method fails {either works perfectly for me) unplug phone, switch engine off, remove key, open door, lock car, wait a while, unlock car, and try again.
