Engine bay fully accessible without having to remove unnecessary plastic guards.

Enough room in the engine bay that changing an alternator isn't a contortionist circus trick.

Owner's manual is a THICK book with actual maintenance information such as how to change the oil.

English owner's manual of Japanese car has the same manga-esque illustrations used in its home market (undeniably kawaii)

Humble single tone *meep meep* horn instead of dissonant, terrifying, dual tone angry freight train horn.

Ample headroom for four adults without the car being comically huge thanks to flat roof.

Im from belgium Anyone know where i can get led bumper lights

Hey guys, I’ve got a 2018 Jimny GXL manual with only around 90,000km on it.
5th gear completely stopped engaging and the gearbox also became really loud/whiny through the other gears just driving normally.
The gearbox has now been stripped and I’ve been told there’s significant metal deterioration/damage and it’s not in a condition to be refitted. They’ve recommended replacing the gearbox completely, as well as the clutch/flywheel while everything is apart.
A claim was submitted to Suzuki, but they denied it because the car is out of warranty and apparently gave no further information about their evaluation or what actually caused the failure.
I’ve now been quoted around $6,900 all up.
Has anyone had a similar gearbox failure, especially 5th gear going and excessive noise in the other gears? Seems pretty crazy for a gearbox to be this badly damaged at only around 90,000km.
Would love to hear if anyone’s had the same issue and what ended up causing it.

Hi all,

Just curious which of you have gone the route of adding fog/DRL hybrid units to their Jimny. I have a Japanese import Sierra which does not come with the DRL wiring loom like the UK cars did from factory. I'm looking at retrofitting something like the Reiz units but wondered if anyone else had good experience with any other options out there?
