490 miles on the clock after circa 5 weeks. Engine feeling a bit looser, a bit less rough/tight and a little quieter on the motorway. Still very much enjoying the car.
Doors now shutting better.
Auto lights turned off as they are so sensitive - not sure if there is a control somewhere on the sensitivity....
DAB signal still hit and miss, drops a bit depending on station - and a bit more noticeable now than originally. Might get dealer to check the Ariel if i take it in for the 2 month check up.
Still showing 35 mpg as an overall figure.
Had 2 people come up to me at different times and ask what it was/looks cool etc. Which is nice.
Still have not seen another one on the road.
Finding the 'lean' a bit easier to live with and feeling my way round its handling now on corners and things. Taking it a bit further but not exactly sure how far i can take it round bends yet without it falling over !!
Seats for local journeys are fine but found they are a 'average' on longer journeys and feel they could be a bit deeper and more supportive at the sides for me.
Overall think its a great buy, as much as its a very capable off roader, it all suits the urban jungle due to size, height and general demeaner around town.
Shame we didn't see any snow a while a go as it would have been nice to give it a run out with 4WD working. Oh well next time.
Ill update again at 1,000 miles, could be a couple of months.
PS - hopefully an arm rest gets released - for me it needs one. Also may enquire about the rear parking camera which i see one or 2 on the facebook group seen to have which is a Suzuki accessory but wasn't offered to me !
Cheers guys, hope this informative.

Most informative and great to learn that you aren't returning to the dealer for any warranty; claims after 5 weeks usage. Interested that you have averaged less than 100 miles a week - so it looks like you aren't going to wear it out anytime soon!. Always like to read a good news story and it looks like owners of the new model aren't experiencing 'teething' troubles as the new model Jimny appears well screwed together.
