Very great photo shots.

I'm contemplating getting a black one too.

Also trying to visualize if ok na paint yung spare tire cover na black din.

hello po mga tsikoteers! newbie po ako. magtatanong lang regarding sa Jimny dyan satin sa Pinas. Currently nasa China ako and I've been eyeing the Jimny for years. Ganito na po ba ang itsura ng top of the line satin? steering wheel controls, included na rin ang 2DIN head unit ? (pictures attached)

Maraming salamat!

Grabe, some 2 years ago the pricing of the Jimny was sub 800k. Then they raised it to P849k with the touchscreen option, they say to justify the price increase. Now it seems they're importing the base model ones with the new price.

No touchscreen, no airbags wow. This is one overpriced unit. Akala ko ba. Ay JPEPA, at least somehow dapat may incentive naman Ito made in Japan vehicle na Ito .

Only vehicles with a 3L engine or more is exempt from taxes under jpepa. The jimny is a 1.3.

Bro, kagabi pa lang pinapanood ko na vids mo (sa iyo pala yung lumang vid ng gen 1 black apv with a young girl outside, hehe!).

May isa kang video dun na night or dawn, basta madilim pa rough road na kayo?

Ilang hours mo kinuha QC to Baguio? Where did you get your Sagada tour guide?

Pagbalik mo with your kids, jimny pa din ba gagamitin mo or apv since madami dami kayo niyan?

Congrats to the 3 of you for a successful roadtrip!

- Yes, Suzuki big fan ako hehe. Bad trip lang kse nagkaparehas ng coding day APV at Jimny ko. Pero ok lang meron pa akong ibang nagagamit na kotse,

- Yes gabi yun pauwi na sa Rock Inn Hotel. We went out that afternoon kaya gabi na umuwi. But it's totally safe although meron curfew sa Sagada 9pm.

Ilang hours mo kinuha QC to Baguio?
- 6 hrs nung papunta. 4 hrs pabalik ng Baguio (medyo hataw to). Gamit ko lang gps ng android phone ko. I used Navigator kse gps lang kailangan and not wifi connection.
Btw, walang signal mobile and wifi sa Sagada. Limitied spots lang meron signal.

Where did you get your Sagada tour guide?
- You have to register at the tourist municipal hall. Dun nakakuha ako ng tour guide and map and tour info.

Pagbalik mo with your kids, jimny pa din ba gagamitin mo or apv since madami dami kayo niyan?
- Gusto ko Jimny pa rin with roof rack. And baka that time magaling na mag drive 2 kids ko kaya baka maka score pa ako ng 1 more Jimny nun para 2x Jimny dala ko.

Congrats to the 3 of you for a successful roadtrip!

- Thanks man!

great thread! i am living my dream as last march 27, i took delivery of a bluish black unit from wheels e rod! i had to choose from a variety of brands and models (yaris, jazz, swift, and ecosport) but i have so far not regretted the fact that i chose a two door 4x4 as our second vehicle.

my first impressions: macupad, matagtag, at masikip...but i won't trade it for anything else! this thing has a lot of character! this reminds me so much of my parents' nissan safari - but an ultra diminutive version of the beast!

im looking forward to learning more about the jimny and hopefully, share some experiences with it, soon.

ingat po!

Thank you, batchmate!

Congrats sa first long trip mo with the love of your life, and your wife.

Panalo!

Regarding the temp gauge - yes sir, five bars here too.

**teteng** · April 3rd, 2015 08:52 PM

Question po, 2015 jimny owners, regarding temperature gauge: mine reaches 5 bars, is that ok?

Medyo naninibago pa ako sa automatic transmission ng jimny, hehe....

Thanks!

Another question to those with automatics po:

Kasi sa A/T di ba there's D, 2, and L (jimny nga meron pang 3) and normally we just leave our gear at D except kung steep yung slope going up or down.

But I have heard other A/T drivers who claim that they habitually start from L and work their way up to D, just like driving a manual but without having to worry about the clutch pedal.

If you get the hang of it, mas maganda daw ang arangkada and/or mas matipid?

Any comments, please?

Thank you,

Thank you,

in my opinion, there's no point in buying an AT, and still insist on raking thru the stick. i just go to D and let the car take it from there.
if arangkada is at the top of your performance list, AT should be at the bottom of your shopping list.

Hi question po sa mga Jimny MT JX owners, ok po ba sya sa day to day bumper to bumper Manila driving, Hindi ba matagtag or masakit sa pwet in case lagi na locked sa traffic. We're originally planning to get a swift MT but siguro mas ok Kung mas Mataas na din coz the rainy season is s coming

I don't
