Congratulations Jimny's are awesome! I received my Manual GLX 2 weeks ago and I love it! I chose the manual cos I found it more fun to drive and it was more economical from what I read.

I like your green 'Mamba'. With modern gearbox/transmission technology, there's no wrong choice. For a game ranger's Landy in Kenya, go manual. For urban/offroad mix, auto is great. I had a '97 manual Pajero 2.8TDi for >10 yrs and loved it. Then we got a '17 Everest 4x4 auto and love it in traffic and offroad. Don't miss manual at all. Enjoy the new experience & project.

Finally Jimny 5 door has been launched in India and I have also booked the Magnite Grey Automatic. In India we are getting 4 speed auto transmission and this engine has been already tested for years and seems to be errorless, manual one seems to be bit hard. Great choice..

Congrats. What a feeling. I love the Jimny. Had the previous version and now the new one for about a year. Love the car. I drive an Isuzu double cab as well but the Suzuki is just always more fun for some reason. Definitely made the correct decision going for the GLX spec. Massive difference with the headlights as well.

Imo, anything then white off-road is a pain. I have a 2021 hilux in grey and it's SO easy to scratch it when going off the pavement. Do you have the same load ratings that we have in Europe for the jimny? That's the biggest drawback, payload is just ~270kg. I think that driving a manual is harder off-road but I can see why people prefer it. It's more challenging, simpler and often possible to jump start. Auto gives more control though. I've been a manual fan for at least 15 years and only bought manuals when I purchased new vehicles. The hilux was only available in auto when you opted for the 2.8 diesel so I had no choice. After 50 000km I'm starting to get used to it😀

now i have a 2000 Jimny manual that im working on, tranfer case or diff 'exploded' and my 5 speed is missing 5th gear lol and my other half has an automatic 2009(we are starting a fleet of them) and the first thing i notice is that thing is huge for a Jimny lol tbh i am a die hard manual fan boy but i would have probably chosen the auto if im looking further down the line for resale, the autos are super rare, they have always been and they command a better price usually than the same trim spec manual the Jimny's natural habitat is not the highway lol they will usually struggle(you usually hear about that in all the reviews) on the highway but adding a spot of weight in the boot usually helps with stability at speed

Hi there, I am excited to see the 5-door Jimny in person. To be honest, the Jimny handles the highway much better than I thought it would. I can easily drive 110-120kmp/h and still feel comfortable. But I would not recommend going over 120kmp/h as it does begin to feel a bit shaky, especially with high winds.

Hey Jana! This was an awesome video and I fully support your pick (being a Jimny owner hehe)! It's an amazingly cute and boxy little car that is also extremely capable off road. It's definitely not a highway car and even after almost 3 years I still get frustrated at times 🙃 but as soon as it gets of the tarmac if feels right at home As to your question about AT vs MT, each one has it's advantages . There is a really good video you can watch by Ronny Dahl about transmissions. Hope that helps!

Congratulations! I bought a new Jimny a couple of weeks ago, manual GLX. Did you find the manual noisey and very tight in shifting. It's getting slowly looser but I've never felt a gearbox so tight, reverse sometimes leaves me stuck in the middle of the road as it just refuses to go in.
@alu_cab
@alu_cab Жыл бұрын
Thank you! The tight gearbox was exactly my experience when I was test-driving the manual - I stalled it about 3 times before getting into the groove. But most people I've spoken to have no issue with the gearbox so hopefully, it does get looser over time.

Difficult choice, due to prior experiences I would lean more towards a manual, but a auto is nice for city traffic. (Prior experience) But Turbo diesel and automatic is not a great combination, probably different for a naturally aspirated petrol, like the Jimny. With the diesels the autobox (especially on the Pajero my Dad drives) is very unresponsive and is never in the right gear when you want it to be (so I use the paddle shifters, but there still is a delay). The one car I have driven that has a fantastic automatic gearbox was a V8 Land Rover Discovery 4, super smooth and a pleasure to drive.....when you get the chance. That does not have a turbo so my theory is that Turbo lag and a automatic gearbox have a compounding effect, making it feel unresponsive or exaggerates it. I am probably one of the few people that prefer the look of the Gen. 3 Jimny over the Gen.4 . The later Gen. 3's also came with a bonnet scoop to make it easier to install a top mount intercooler for a turbo.😈 I have discussed this before, but the Jimny probably holds the record for Solid axle 4x4 that has gotten many women interested in off roading and a lot of Jimny owners are women, so that's cool.
