Suzuki Jimny opinions

[pete]

As above, what are they like. I need something for a learner and it won't be doing big mileage.
I know Mick would recommend an s204

Anyone ever had or drove one?

 

[Dagnut]

why would you want to learn in a crap jeep with a horrible turning circle?

 

[pete]

I know nothing about them, I wa chatting to a man that has one and they like it.
He wouldn't be into his cars but said it served him well

 

[JAMIE-TYPERV6]

They're awful yokes Pete. Ex you to have one... nasty to drive and felt f**king unstable too.

I've a nice Pajero for sale if they're after a Jeep :tongue:

 

[pete]

I spotted the mitzi j, too high tax

Not looking good for the jimni .....

 

[JAMIE-TYPERV6]

Yeah.. the reason it's being sold! It's killing us on tax!! Perfect yoke as a commercial though.

any learner you couldn't steer them past polo/micra/yaris..they are supposed to be good off road but I can't see how they could be a good learners car...the previous model had a bad reputation for toppling over mid bend..not sure if it's relevant to the jimny

wouldnt buy a jimny , as jamie said , not a comfortable ride (semms like your driving on the moon) and wouldnt take a lot to roll it (high centre of gravity) . my opinion

rav 4 would be better option but have no experience !

Horrible thing to drive, but if thats what he wants I know a guy here in Wexford deals only in small jeeps he has 12 pajero juniors at the minute, 2 jimnys, a suzuki i cant remember the name of but its a 2 seater hardtop with a boot behind it, and a few bigger yokes like vitaras and pajero pinins, he's just outside Enniscorthy village called Monageer

Name is Darren no is 0857304247

How ironic...a chap that hasn't seen a hairdresser in the last few years asking about a hairdressers jeep

Thanks bevan, seems to be a good few deals knocking around my way on the jimnys.
I had thought they might have been a handy parker with a bit of a view out of them. They look short enough too.

What you on about Brian
