Are jimny really this slow!
Are jimny really this slow!
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!
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

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

cant really match is with the td5 then!!, major service and a good proper ecu tune might get some more power out of it then! might be able to pull the skin of a rice pudding aswell
