New Jimny - one of the first in Perth AUS - passenger included! was created by Ivoryhotlid
Hi,
Finally got to collect my new Jimny last night from Suzuki in Osborne Park (Perth, AUS). I placed the pre-order at the beginning of Oct '18 so I'm glad the 4 month wait is over. By all accounts mine is one of the first to hit the road, at least on the West Coast, the waiting list is pushing 6 months now.
I went for the Ivory with Black/blueish roof after much deliberation, it was tricky as I had to choose from photos - no real life examples here until last Sat but I'm happy with my choice (first world problems for sure).
We don't have access to any accessories or upgrades over here yet, not even roof racks, but I will be looking at a set of AT's. My alloy is however only 5" wide so that gives me a very limited choice of tyre unless I change the wheels which would be a shame as I think they look great. ARB are saying at least Q2 before they bring anything to market, I'm sure the flood gates will open soon now that the car is actually here.
We only have one model over here so its either manual or auto and a limited color choice only, whether that will change down the line we shall see. We do get GPS NAV, AEB, lane departure warning, reversing camera and Apple Car Play as standard, alloys also.
I've added some photos of my car. A couple I took after the test drive with trade plates, the others show an uninvited (and unwelcome!) travelling companion hidden in the passenger side door. I found him this arvo, I've included a closer photo of said companion - oh the joys of living in WA! If anyone knows what type of spider it is I'd be interested to know, its not one I've seen before, maybe it's not a local and sadly (?) it didn't survive the experience...
I plan to take the car up to the local beach/dunes soon, those being Wilbinga and Lancelin, and up to the Powerlines in the Perth Hills for a shakedown after it's had it's 1000km check up, I'll post some photo's when I get the chance
In case you are wondering (you probably weren't) having a black roof in sunny WA isn't normally advisable, it can get a bit warm in summer (40C+) - hence Ivoryhotlid

Congrats on buying the best colour (although I may be slightly biased!), Just glad mine didn't come with added nightmare-fuel-critter *shudder*
