2005 Suzuki Jimny LX 1.3 DOHC 16v VVT

Summary:

A great all round package at a bargain price

Faults:

No faults to report at 4 months of ownership and 5000 kms from new.

General Comments:

A great little 4wd. Very capable on and off road. Good performance for a small engined 4wd. Equipment level and quality great for the price. Power windows, mirrors and air conditioning.

Fuel consumption is excellent. The noise level is low in normal driving and highway driving. The comfort level in driving is good in long distances for a small 4wd.

The new VVT engine pulls well and is a good performer.

2001 Suzuki Jimny JLX Hardtop 1.3 petrol

Summary:

Cheap reliable fun!

Faults:

Solenoid for front hubs has been replaced twice.

All wheel bearings were replaced at around 50,000km's.

Original suspension too low - have lifted this.

Original tyres too narrow - larger tyres fitted - all good now!

General Comments:

This is the first 4WD I have owned & I've had an absolute blast in it.

This vehicle can go places you wouldn't think possible - pretty much point it in the right direction & hit the accelerator & hold on! Climbs like a goat!

The ride gets a bit bumpy at times & you need to be careful on wet bitumen roads & when its windy, but take it off-road in the gravel & mud & it loves it!
