Well after much procrastination I've bought a Jimny .. hope I picked right :-)

It's still being prepped by the dealer but I went for a brand new Khaki Green seirra manual. I took the lower spec one for a drive and loved it but didn't think I could live without aircon.

Probably not worth posting a picture yet as it looks just like how Suzuki show them on their website! I'll wait till I've found some extra wheels with mud tyres or I start fiddling with it. It's mainly going to be the play car for me and my boys, to pull my ride on mower out of ditches when I try to get those last few inches of grass and fail and for the odd commute run (got a smaller car for that)

Even though it's too late now .. anything to watch out for ? Anything break too easily ? I'll be rummaging through the forums looking for interesting things :)

Regards!

Good choice getting the Air con model, we may not need it much in this country, but when it gets hot its really nice to have. Mines still fairly new so I haven't had any problems only the four wheel drive would switch itself on upon start up occasionally, as it was still under warranty the dealer seems to have sorted it. ( I think they replaced the 4x4 command module or something along those lines) Overall I'm really pleased with mine, they're really reliable and really fun to drive. Happy new Jimny day.

Nice looking little beasty. How much warranty do they give you on a new one?

5 years ... I should probably read the wording to see if I'll be voiding it!
