Had a drive in a Jimny...

V8MoneyPit:
As the title suggests, I had a go in an 06 hartop Jimny on Christmas Eve. My wifes friend has recently bought one.

Having only had Land Rovers and a Samurai, I was pleasantly surprised. It feels modern and quite refined! I found the power steering a bit over assisted and the brakes a little sharp, but other than that it drove really nicely. It was a bit skittish on the ice though. I wasn't doing anything silly and it slid sideways a little  :shock: Is that just rubbish tyres maybe?

I don't know what she paid for it, but she did well when she sold her Hyundai Accent Coupe for £1500  :shock: We bought it for her 18 months ago for £500!

damohick:
Mines a bit lively in the ice … and on muddy roads  :shock: . I've read it's due to the tyres, but then it is short and light too!

steviesuzy:
yep,ive got a jimny,not had any ice experiance yet,but very skittish on the road tyres,bridgestone duellers,may invest in some mud tyres soon,just to make it worse on the road lol.

V8MoneyPit:
I didn't get to see what tyres were fitted to Andrea's one. It was dark!

Tommo:
I learned to drive in one. found it a little too refined to be honest. good for someone who wants a car but also needs the 4wd bit occasionally.
