I'd keep the steel wheels. ;)

I'd have had an SZ4 if I could have got an auto, I don't need gangsta windows, painted door handles and alloy wheels, and I'd rather have saved the money that they cost.


See.... I needed gansta windows, painted door handles and alloy wheels, because i'm single, and in need of some good lovin ;-)


I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you ain't gonna be getting much tail driving a Jimny, definitely a dependable best friend mobile! Sorry. You need a stage 2d fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost to get tail! :laugh:

Thanks for the info especially about the wheel size. I think we'll just calm down a tad, since we haven't even got the 'car' yet.

Since we placed our deposit for a SZ5 I think we're a victim of our over inflated expectations of all these toys. After a few miles of ownership I suspect, if we had them, then they would be largely taken for granted.

We will tint the rear windows so our long haired German Shepherd can stay cool. I'll keep an eye on this site for anyone wanting to sell their alloys, but there's no rush.

Of interest - this Monday morning I took our Suzuki s-cross to our local dealer for a service, and there on the forecourt was a white Jimny SZ4. I knew it wasn't their demonstrator since that's silver, and I've seen it before.

I just asked, on the of chance, if it was for sale and they said yes.

The story is another dealer wanted a silver Vitara and so they swapped it for this new Jimny. Since it was an 'extra' they just agreed to sell it to me - on the spot!

Funny old world.

Jon & Julie

There are some suggestions that some of the features of the sz5 are a little infuriating/under developed like the sensitivity of the auto headlights and the connectivity of the infotainment system to your phone and that the auto brake assist is somewhat unnerving. It might be a lucky escape having an sz4.
