The months heading up to my July delivery date are going to feel like forever. Ordering a front bull bar and snorkel. And there is a very simple solution to not using so much gas. Stop PLANTING YOU FOOT SO MUCH. It is a 1.5L Inline 4, yes they can rev, but you have been doing it since you got it and you should have been taking it easy on the BRAND NEW ENGINE for the first 1000kms to drive it in porperly. I promise if you started taking it easier on the wee car, you should get the fuel use down to at 6.5 to 7L/Km. As a helpful hint, even though it is brand new, might pay to check the mechanical bit just to make sure all the thrashing you have been doing hasn't damaged anything as a precaution. It is a bit funny though, all the things you have mentioned are some of the reasons im getting one. I like simple cars, less to go wrong. I actually asked the sales woman if it was at all possible to get manual window winders 🤣

The fact is you stuffed your Suzuki Jimny. Changed the tyres, overloaded the roof, lose the rack and awning, you increased wind resistance, turned off factory safety controls and drove too fast on the highway. The 4WD Buggy winch is a good idea as are max tracks, carried on the spare wheel. A long range fuel tank would be a good extra. Keep the extra fuel down low and out of the cabin. definitely not on the roof. The original WW2 Jeeps topped out at 55 Miles per hour or or 90 Kilometres Per Hour. The cruising speed was lower 45 MPH or 70 KPH. The Suzuki Jeep is an off road vehicle. Drive it at 45 MPH and see how sweet it is, And it has 3 rear view mirrors, don't overload the back. A very versatile farm vehicle. Drive around the paddocks 5 days a week, into town to shop on Saturday and the Missus can drive you to church on Sunday. I love 'em, Jimnys not the Missus.

With the latest version, instead of taking it off of the UK market, why didn't they put in their SCross 1.0L, LP Turbo, 3 cylinder engine? That's a good unit, makes the - basically small SUV style estate car - SCross pretty lively, good and torquey and returns really good mpg too (not sure how long the motor or turbo will last, but hey it's a Suzuki, so probably a long time). Also some extra sound proofing etc? Perfect, small 4x4. I note on the new low spec Swift's though, they lack sound proofing too, come on Suzuki you're better than that😉✌️ Very capable off roaders and very liveable with on road, merely horses for courses 😉😊👍 Even on Eg the SCross with engine under trays, they get filthy, same through entire range from what I can tell - a nuisance at its worst, no biggy though.

Yh Suzuki could have lots of 1.5 motors sat about but, as the SJ is so popular in the UK? Change the engine, get em sold. Of course the elephant in the room is the hype around climate change (and our cuckold, useless, treasonous woke govt.). Don't get me wrong, there is some carbon climate change going on, but the real climate change issues are being ignored. The love of money and greed are basically the drivers for the changes we're seeing Plus smug self entitleds driving Tesla's in the Cotswolds? A) The Lithium supply chain is filthy and dangerous B) To the best of my knowledge, there's no LiPo battery recycling facilities (ask Elon Musk he even approached our military). C) After a battery goes the car is virtually a write off. Hadn't some manufacturers gotten petrol burning so good, only water vapour came out of the exhaust? Then there is synthetic petrol and, HFC's. The new SJ has gotten caught in the cross fire and then the pandemic hit. The headlong rush towards electric power? Would have been okay if LiPo batteries weren't involved and Nikola Tesla's free energy had been adopted instead - tptb wouldn't like that though would they, free energy for everything on the planet. BTW his experiments were successful and repeatable. Without Nikola Tesla's there wouldn't be the modern electric age, Edison was a dunce by comparison 😉😊✌️

I love the Jimmy such fun little cars. I don't own one, I have the escudor though although about to change that for a land cruiser. I really wish they would have out the 1.4l turbo booster jet engine that is in my Suzuki Escudor. It is very fast. 0-60mph in about 8 secs which for a SUV of that class is quite lively. Main thing it has plenty of torque and would make that Jimmy unstoppable off road, especially if you put on after market lockers on it. The booster jet engine is also way better on fuel economy. I can get 17k/l and more motorway cruising and about 13 just running around in general. I have driven the latest Jimmy and that 1.5l engine is useless totally underpowered even for a small car. The 660cc turbo k version we have here is actually just as fast and gets about the same fuel economy.But the car itself I do like a lot. Very capable off road, more than most people realise and they look so damn cool too. Basic as anything inside, but then as an offroader that is what you want. Reliable, easy to clean and you don't have to worry if you get a scratch on it. But that engine, it sucks, why Suzuki opted for that crappy engine when they could have simply put the 1.2L booster jet engine from the Ignis or the 1.4L from the escudor straight into that Jimmy.

His bad fuel economy probably has to do with it being closer 4000 RPM most of the time instead 2500 RPM because the engine doesn’t have enough power for the heavier tires.

Ive got the 1997 Jimny (Samurai). Sadly, I get about 7km to a litre. Horrible going uphill. Goes about 60km/h on the uphill. Top speed of like 100km/h. Looking to get this new one

back in early 90's my dad had a Suzuki and its like as simple as it is. it can run around the estate just fine. Simple.. so if you buy this and complain on this and that metal here there then this car is not for you. i have already bought one as i know that this car is worth and capable going offroad, just with newer features.

Have you considered change the axle ratios to compensate for the larger tires? Curious how it would effect the fuel economy.

The larger wheels affect the braking ability also. It needs a lot more distance to stop on the bigger tyres.

at 1050 kilograms, two men can esily lift it out of trouble, as I have done this, try that with a Toyota or Nissan at double the weight. Change your wheels, my Jimny gets 100klms for 7.7 litres, that is 2 trips (about $7.50 a trip) from home to Bundaberg and back. My neighbour has a wrangler it costs him over $15 per trip. My Jimny is a quiet ride, it aint no Mercedes or Luxury car BUT they cant get down and dirty. More Bare Metal is what we want in 4wds to control RUST. why do you want that crap info on little lcd screen? you only need the two guages in a Jimny. and if you worry about dust, dirt, mud and poop buy a volvo and dont go offroad. Brabus cant improve perfection. I agree about Food, so dont eat in the car.(or smoke). Smokey, you are just NOT a 4wd Man, unless you want to spend $hundreds of thousands and squeeze between trees, scrub and bushes off road, scratching a fat, but quiet can.

As an Offroad and tech enthusiast i would probably ruin that simple design within a few months ... Mass tech expansion that would totally not be necessary but thats just me ... Also why dont you just install your own rear view camera you can even replace the mirror with a screen that shows... You know the rear wouldnt be supper hard and maybe do some fillers in the door to make it less bare metal...

Get out of the freaking car, go grab a coffee while not even inside the car, THE ALARM IS STILL GOING!!! AAAAA
