recently went on holiday, our log cabin was 200 miles from my house brimmed the tank and did it on 3/4s of a tank so fuel economy on a long run aint bad and that was on mud tyres!!!didnt exceed 60mph tho,get above 60 and it drinks it but then it is about as aerodynamic as a brick!!!

Secrets Ted:

Age for insurance. Credit to Flux, it's a cracking set of quotes for my motors.
Petrol - well I have driven only 4x4s for centuries so I don't know what it is like to get 50+mpg. I put a tenner in this motor and it lasts and lasts and lasts.
Speed.............could be luck, it's a little stormer, slightly nippy in the burbs but certainly no slouch on the motorway.

If you’re used to unladen 4x4 pick-ups and seasickness then the Jimny’s lack of road manners will be familiar.

Po-going and stumbling over potholes, it takes to tarmac about as naturally as Gordon Brown poses for photos.

A horse-drawn cart would behave as well on normal roads.

It’s been described as an uncomfortable, slow, droning, torque-less vehicle with Soviet-flavoured internal décor, and it’s hard to deny any of those things.


:(


whoever wrote that has clearly completely missed the point of a jimny...

small, light, cheap proper 4x4. 'nuff said

I think he 'PROTESTS TOO MUCH' and secretly would like one. Touch of the old Skoda syndrome!
