Short test: Suzuki Jimny 1.3 VVT Style Allgrip PRO
Let's start by listing everything that Jimny doesn't have? Well, it will be easier to say what it has: heated front seats (we can only turn on both at the same time), common and two daily odometers, electrically adjustable windshields, electrically adjustable and heated (large, excellent, but completely on force with aerodynamics ) rear-view mirrors, ABS and (switchable) ESC, gear indication, hmm ... hours. More or less the enumeration of (modern?) Equipment ends here. But can you even imagine how much fun it is to sit in a car where everything is immediately clear? Ventilation is controlled by three rotary knobs, seat settings with classic levers ... Everything is ready in four seconds. The image under the hood is also raw: the longitudinally positioned aluminum engine is not hidden under the plastic. Everything is at hand. More than just a windshield washer fluid refill plug ...
Let's put it this way: The Jimny should not be seen as a (modern) car with many flaws, but as an assistant to work (ATV = All Terrain Vehicle) with a roof and heated seats. That's when a lot of advantages manifest themselves: not only do we see all the corners of the car, the driver has the feeling that he can even touch them from the driver's seat. It is difficult to understand what kind of balm this is in the Gorensky district: when you hit a fallen tree during a storm, you push the car backwards perpendicularly along a steep slope and turn. Although, as someone commented on our Facebook page, a real Jimny owner always has a chainsaw in the trunk. We add: but a rifle. Or a basket of mushrooms.
Off-road performance is also mind-boggling: With the gearbox engaged, the 1,3-liter naturally aspirated sander can quickly rise above idle, and the excellent (yes, new) Bridgestone Blizzak tires added theirs in December's first snow.
What about the road? Thanks to the short gearbox, we can quickly shift to fifth gear, in which the 120-valve engine spins at 16 rpm at 4.000 rpm and is still quite loud, while driving on the highway significantly increases fuel consumption. This is not only noise, but also annoying irregularities of irregularities, which are directly transmitted to the cab and violate the directional stability of the car.
This year Jimny is saying goodbye. Have you seen the Suzuki e-Survivor concept unveiled in Tokyo? It is reported that a successor will appear in 2018. Jimny, on behalf of a narrow constituency: thanks for the authenticity.

evaluation
If you look at the Jimny as an uncomfortable car, you've missed the point. This is a pretty handy working tool for foresters, hunters, rangers, mountain doctors (those real ones who know how to cure Franka's bad teeth and how many in Lisk) and electricians in the field - it was the end of the last millennium, and this is still the case today . The needs of these people have not changed.
We praise and reproach
field capacity
Powerful enough (gearbox!), Quiet, quiet engine
quick warm-up of the engine and interior
transparency, maneuverability – in the city or on narrow forest paths
charming timeless shape
analog design
spaciousness (split rear bench and trunk for a minimum)
poor sound insulation, especially the rear tracks
glass for four passengers
sharp shock absorption of irregularities, especially for the passenger in the back seat
poor road stability (short bumps at high speeds)
bad smell of new
intermittent jamming of reverse gear
lack of modern (safe) equipment
