    Well done.. I would have said the same about mine. I have one 5 doors with MT, 1000 km and basically your thoughts covered what I think about this car. I am still getting use to the Manual Transmission since is so slow but It is what it is.

    Hey Eric, I am the same height as you. Do you find with the baby seat behind you make it difficult to change gears? I want the manual but thinking the auto will be easier with less leg room due to baby seat.

    Hi all, after some info. I’m looking at buying the 5 door XL ,so chatting to the dealer in the yard I was looking at the chiffon ivory,he happened to mention this was “about $700” more with the black roof compared to the Jungle Green ,no black roof,does this sound correct or was he already jacking up the price. I can see nowhere were it mentioned this in any reviews. Cheers guys.

      Yes, this is normal. The two tone Jimny comes with an extra price tag

    As soon as you exceed the roof load limit your insurance is null and void.

      @@josh3221ify So I currently have a newer brz and I heard they are getting banned in Europe because of how low they are. Laws are weird everywhere. I get it though don’t want to destroy pedestrians. I stopped riding motorcycles because I don’t trust other people.
