2007 Suzuki Jimny reviews

Suzuki Jimny Sport 2007

G’day, always loved the little Sierra, especially with the top down as a convertible when I was a pimply teen. I’m 43 now and have had all the proper ’adult’ and ’family’ cars. Now it’s time for some fun! It’s like a Mini that goes bush! I bought a Jimny Sport brand new after seeing one at the state motor show in Melbourne, could have bought a Jeep but why? I could have 2 Jimnys for one Jeep! Have you looked at the design of a Jeep underneath and compared it to your car? It does everything I ask of it, though my bush experience may be lacking the Jimny is teaching me well and I have taken it off road many times to get to bush not accessible otherwise. It also gets a lot of ’looks’ dirty too. It can, it didn’t cost half the cost of a house unlike some 4X4’s or is that $X$’s. I don’t go serious 4wd where it’s got two wheels hanging in the air while it’s leaning on 45 degree angle, it’d probably roll in standard kit, but as I said it handles all the Aussie outback I care to put it on. Yes it’s not a great handling car on the road sometimes, it’s small inside, a little under powered - why not a 1.5 or 1.6 like the same sized Vitara predessesor Suzuki?), but if you respect the type of car it is and drive accordingly it’s okay. I have roof racks and a coffin to store gear for trips so thats okay and a bike rack for the rear. I have an ARB bullbar and driving lights to replace the factory fogs, still 55watt globes, headlights are fine. In short its great for what it is, and James May made it to the end of the challenge in the ’Top Gear Bolivia’ special too, says something I reckon! Happy motoring!
