Suzuki Club UK

Hello. I'm currently living in Hong Kong where there's no point in having a car and no driving freedom (or freedom generally), so upon my return to the UK next month I'm going to buy something small and cheap that will put a smile on my face. I've wanted a wee suzuki 4x4 since I before passed my driving test, so now seems like the time.

I'll be using it as a daily driver and in some airsoft games, so it will be pimped up army style and pretty rough around the edges, with a gun mount on the top for the weekends!

Welcome to the club, and all the best finding your perfect Vit!

Don't pass up an SJ or Jimny if you see a good one without giving it serious thought - they're blinding off road.

What have you been on tonight Anton? Three identical posts!!

And Furey, and good luck with the search.

Hi to the club

Thanks all! What's the practical difference between a jimny and a vitara by the way?

Also, is there any way to get a Suzuki with reasonable fuel consumption? I'm making a career move which will will see my pay halved for 8 months.

As I used to own a Jimny, they are a fantastic anus to have, good on road and good off road. only a little bit small inside, but that was fine for me, not good for passengers on a long drive.
I would be happy to buy another Jimny as soon as I can.
The common problem with Jimny's is that the crankshaft sensor , they need to be replaced when needed, not expensive.
Vitara's n Grand Vitara's are bit bigger. cost more to run depending on engine size.
It all comes down to budget and needs. costs like insurance, road tax, fuel costs.

I had been originally looking at getting a Jimny but went for a 5 door Vitara,its a few years old but in very good condition as i hated the idea of a newer motor being damaged when going onto farms that i visit most weekends.

Depending on your age the biggest killer is the insurance,i am lucky that i am at the lowest premium range and have fully comp and recovery for a very small amount of money and that is with a 2ltr V6.

Good luck in finding one.

Welcome to Suzuki club UK, you won't be disappointed with a little Zuki!

Thanks! My puter does that from time to time, and I can delete the extra posts myself usually - but I missed them this time!
