2009 Suzuki Jimny reviews

Suzuki Jimny reviews by year of make: 2000  2001  2004  2005  2007  2008  2009  Read all reviews

The Jimny is extremely driver friendly. On the road and in the rough, its high-performance features make handling easy for professionals and novices alike. Where you point, the Jimny follows. Its power steering provides not only welcome assistance in tight manoeuvres, but helps keep the Jimny tracking true. The Jimny stops as smoothly and surely as it goes. High-performance brakes are utilized on all four wheels, and the front disk brakes are of a large diameter for efficient heat dispersion. Since an 8-inch vacuum servo amplifies the force you apply to the brake pedal, little effort is required to bring the Jimny to a halt. As a safety precaution, Suzuki includes an LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve) that helps prevent premature locking of the rear wheels during sudden braking and improves braking performance when the vehicle is fully loaded. Compact dimensions also contribute to the Jimny's handling. In the city, they help you slip through heavy traffic and into small parking spaces with ease. In the woods, they help you squeeze between boulders and trees. Unbeaten paths that would challenge other vehicles are a breeze in the Jimny. You'll climb hills with confidence thanks to generous approach and departure angles and excellent traction enhanced by radial tyres with universal tread. Take the Jimny for a test drive and discover for yourself just how fun driving can be.

I am from South Africa and work and live in a rough terrain. The Jimny outpreforms all 4x4s in real tight and limited spots. I have videos to back this up. In Luanda, Angola we use them on the beach, they are real tough.

Suzuki Jimny 2009

5 star review

Hi, I live in South Africa and have owned a Jimny for 3 months and have done 15,000 kilometres in the most demanding places. I changed the tyres to more off-road type and fitted a 20 L jerry can bracket on the back of the car - replacing the spare wheel which now lives on the roof rack. The jimny is fantastic and easily keeps up with bigger 4x4s even in high altitude so I am very happy with it... Cool little car!
