I bought a Suzuki jimny (3 door variant for sure) about 3 years ago. I was kind of impressed by its look when it was introduced to the Philippine market. Immediately I noticed the following while the car was still brand new - just few days after vehicle was released: 1. Tin can sound of hard rain on the roofing. The interior insulation can not isolate this tin can sound of raindrops hitting the roof 2. Missing the center console arm rest to rest the right arm while driving. Though I bought something from Shopee for this. 3. Much cheap plastic materials around in the interior like the door trims 4. Bare functionalities on the instrument cluster. (There is no TPMS, no variable wiper speed adjust, infotainment not grea, parking brake is still the oldest manual one....etc) 5. Infotainment sounds is quite far from my expectation for the money that i pay for this vehicle. 6. To me vehicle pricing is quite expensively priced compared to the overall value of the vehicle I think (my conclusion after getting to experience actual vehicle) After the third year of driving my Jimny at 11K kms on the odo. I can only share to you ff: 1. The front tires seems to degrade unevenly on the outer side/part and is not the same wear and tear effect on the rear tires 2. The Y connector for the windshield washer got brittle and was broken. as consequence, windshield washer liquid goes out in the mid portion just below the windshield everytime i operate the windshield washer function. 3. The plastic tool box at the rear portion got broken by frequent open and closing due to the second row back seats movements. This one Suzuki has no spare. I think it is very poorly designed compartment. 4. The front speakers rattle at a certain volume level. and becomes too disruptive and annoying when operating the radio while driving. Now service adviser tell me to change the 2 front speakers at 2,699Php per piece. 5. The entertainment display had hung up and lost displays so many times and i had to reboot it by turning the keys off and turning it on again. 6. The Service Advisor in my dealer location seems to be always new and doesnt know the basics of the vehicle. 7. For me, this vehicle is never economical on the gas. It averages 8Kms/li for my city driving with this 1.5L engine and to me that is below expectation no matter how I inflate the tires (I am on a 45psi inflation for all 4 tires). I know diffrent traffic and driving conditions but I readily compare this to my existing vehicles which is able to get higher (12-13 kms/li) than this rate. Of course I am still driving it now because i love the looks. But I am seriously thinking to sell this vehicle now only after 3 years. But I share my own personal experience so you dont get misled on the vehicle quality side. I own 2 other vehicles (the Jimny is my third personal car) but i have never experienced these kind of vehicle handicaps for those other vehicles, even if they are small and insignificant but they are important to me.

Design

Boxy and rugged type. Looks like the smaller version of the Jeep

Comfort

Nothing extraordinary for the comfort feature for this vehicle. Airconditioning works and is good but the seats a bit small and the drive is very ordinary.

Performance

Maybe it is just me comparing to my Montero but I find this vehicle sluggish and uneconomical to the gas

Safety

No Safety Belt warning for the 2nd row passengers. Not really good

Dealer

Very good Dealer service extended to me when I purchased my vehicle. All support was provided to me to release vehicle as promised on the date of release

Road Trip Experience

Very sluggish and not so economical on the gas for me

Service Center

Not so knowledgeable about the vehicle. Always "no spare part available" remark

Buying Journey

Not so happy after 3 years of owneship. It is mainly because of vehicle service and vehicle performance itself.

Car Comparison

Unfortunately I won a Mini and 2 Montero Sport. So then I can not help but compare it readily with my experience for those vehicles. People always tell me it is not comparable but many aspects like Service, vehicle performance, interior quality and parts quality is very much comparable.

  • The most pretentious car that exists

    The Jimny is not a good car, and that’s not just because it's built poorly and uses cheap materials almost everywhere. This car is highly pretentious and built for a specific audience who’s trying to look cool and overcompensate for their lack of personality. While that may... Read More

    The Suzuki Jimny is a cost-effective option for those on the lookout for a rough and tough adventure vehicle. Its tough build quality and cheerful demeanor make it a great choice for both experienced and novice off-roaders. It is one of the smallest 4x4s that you can get in the... Read More

  • A light off-roader

    I manage properties in remote areas, and after spending a year with the Suzuki Jimny I can vouch for the fact that it is a reliable workhorse for handling country roads and rough terrains. Its limited cornering ability and handling quirks have not been a concern for me... Read More

  • A superb little car

    The Suzuki Jimny is an addictive car. I can drive it all day long without a single complaint or the slightest amount of discomfort. It will carry a canoe, tow a small trailer, and stow a dozen heavy boxes effortlessly, and its all-round visibility is quite good. I can’t stop... Read More
