Quite like the Blueish Black Pearl Metallic / Quasar Grey Metallic Two Tone. It makes the car look a bit more utility.
So there you have it - decided. Now just got to get the pennies together. I am hoping that shortly Suki do a deal on the Jimny once the "need" for a winter cars are past.

OK, the colour is sorted. Now I fancy an automatic, my main car is auto and I have got used to not changing gear. (The Suzi site has a much limited colour choice anyway when you opt for an auto). I am not bothered about the performance as it will be quite a different driving experience anyway. Any opinions on this?

Love my auto Jim but the fuel does vanish fairly quickly

:laugh:

that's the first time I've seen or heard Jimny and performance together

auto or manual unless the engine has been changed won't make much difference they will both be slow :silly:

I wonder, if you have an auto and a decent oil cooler for it's gearbox oil, save the engine braking benefit of a rocklobster, would it be as good at climbing steep hills and rocks, perhaps with more control than a manual with a rocklobster.

If the gearbox can't handle it then a manual would be better I suppose. The chain driven transfer box is the other thing being crap that they are, but second hand ones are cheap to buy and they are easy to change. A rocklobster does away with it though.

If you don;t want to do any real off roading and it's just for a little light offroad use an auto might be nice.

I saw a gold Jimny in Dubai yesterday. Didn't look too bad. Should have had alloys tho!

Totally agree, silver is best.

Obviously after BLACK, goes without saying, so I won't ~~BLACK~~ say it.
