Are jimny really this slow!

Post by Henry » Sun Oct 20, 2013 7:35 pm

Hello :)

I've run the jimny for a few months now, and I love it! Fuel economy is good, and the ride isn't too bad! :hahaha:

Only problem I can see is that it's sooo slow! The book recons it can tow 1350 kg... How I have no idea.

My 1600 sj had more get up and go than the jimny!

Anyone else have the same issues? Resolutions?

Henry :D

1600 vit conversion? lol

in all seriousness though you'd think bein a newer 'modern' car it would have at least a bit more grunt.
any idea when it was last serviced mate?

Yeah that's what I meant. It had a mini service when I bough it. Will be doing a full go over when it hits 50k in a few months time ;)
