I had one in Cyprus a few years ago.
Ok if you treat them like the old Toymota Rav4, in my opinion.
Quite cramped, nothing really remarkable.
Probably fine for peace of mind getting to from work in bad weather.
Took mine off road in Cyprus a few times, got stuck more often than the swb Pajero and and SJ and Jimny.
As I said, treat as a Ravioli4.
Just my thoughts.
Edit:
Just re-read original post.
5 door a little less cramped.

I had one for a couple of years, 2" lift, custom rear shocks, 29" Maaxis Trepadors Custom snorkel sliders & underbody protection. Punted it many places it shouldnt have gone following a friend in a Toyota Landcruiser ( I swear it had little car syndrome 
). It had more space & better driving position than the Jimny (in my opinion)

Still on highway tyres

Springs were Dobinson. I think about 35-40mm lift. Front struts must be KYB - the spring plate is mounted ~20mm higher which gives room for larger tyres. rear shocks were custom Tough Dogs with longer droop.
