Just have, it's very clear it ticks the dual purpose vehicle box which makes the speed limit the same as cars, so take it to the limit.
Slightly academic in my opinion, based on the Jimny "comfort" performance envelope, as it only impacts speeds over 50mph

Reading those regs it also seems to me that you could put transverse seats in the back of the LCV to legally carry passengers?
Not sure if there would only be space for children or not but what do you reckon?

Just returned from a drive along Scotland's A9 camera monitored highway. As I'm running the LCV in gently - I kept the speed within the LCV published rules. Just wondering if all those cameras are 'smart enough' to distinguish between different classes of vehicles? The Jimny seemed quite happy at the legal LCV speeds, with all fluids getting the opportunity to reach their optimal temperatures and pressures - and no labouring the engine or transmission! Overall driving the LCV wasn't an unpleasant experience - unless you are in a hurry or have a long distance to cover with a family or business colleagues. Odd noise from cage on rough surfaces but nothing has failed or fallen off so far. The garage supplied a set of Suzuki floor mats with the new Jimny - I got a set of 4 for a 2-seater!
Not sure that I'd want or need to add Abudugal's suggestion of additional seating - rather enjoying having a 2-seater car and no demands for getting a lift.

Ever wonder about professional product development and planning about the Suzuki Jimny. I have received a market research questionnaire from Suzuki's contractor asking for feedback on the new LCV JImny - Unfortunately it was produced by an individual who clearly has a very limited knowledge of the Suzuki Jimny. "How many seats does it have" they wanted to know? Sadly the drop down selection commenced at - 4 seats - no option for the real answer (2 seats) which as the manufacturer you might think that they would already know! Now if Suzuki want to burn cash asking questions like that - then I'm busy elsewhere

Strangely I'm not missing the lack of rear seats in the LCV - although dog owners seem to be very interested in the pre-installed dog guard/cage when i park up! As a non-dog owner I never gave any thought to the factory-fitted feature. I must remember to target my marketing campaign at sales time to a rich dog owner. On the road the LCV seems a 'better runner' than my previous Jimny - it doesn't seem to run out of steam on long Motorway hills as easily - engine spec reads the same but maybe it's all in my head. Other than that it's a case of turn the key and enjoy it. This car puts a smile on my face.

Is it possible to remove the cage in the back? Something I've always wondered about the two seater and lack of recline space.
