Hi Leo, you are very welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it and I’m especially glad you laughed (mission accomplished).

I have been planning to buy the new 5 door Suzuki Jimny and have been reading reviews about them every now and then. Came across your blog a few minutes ago and I love it. I laughed quite a bit while reading this post. Thank You 2Summers.

Hi Lorna, I love everything about this comment and you’ve also made me want to buy a goat farm. Thank you. I hope you and Black Panther (and your goats!) continue on together for many more decades.

It is light and the torque is absolutely spot on. I drove home in a blizzard one night after work, snow was bonnet height, my only problem was keeping the windscreen clear as snow was pushing up over the bonnet. I was single at the time and felt 100% safe driving her. I think, because the jeep is lightweight, nearly square and has a good off road tyres at each corner, traction is excellent. My present Suzuki ‘the black panther’ pulls an Ifor Williams trailer with a big round bale in it for my goats, she never complains at anything. We live in Ireland so had to buy the commercial model which is perfect for us as I can get two adult goats in the back if I need to go to the Vet or a show.
I am now in my 70’s and believe me when opening the door to get in, I simply slide onto the comfy seat, something not possible to do in an ordinary car (fall in and climb out).
Coming up to junctions you can see much more over hedges and walls etc.
I will never drive anything else, I think the Suzuki Jimny is the most versatile, safe and economical vehicle for rural and urban use.
They keep their value, are not expensive to run
and so many people ask “where can I get one of these”. I tell them, “go to your Suzuki dealership and ask to stay on the top of the list for when the next Jimmy’s come in”.
Coming from an agricultural background I know this little trojan of a jeep will go anywhere in any weather, she will never let you down. I love my Black Panther.

Yeah, apparently they aren’t a good fit for the U.S. automotive market — too small!

Id never heard of it and Googled it and it says they are “not street legal” in the USA, whatever that means. So that’s why I never heard of them And so lovely of you to give Henrike a good new, “lucky” home.

Hi Sibusiso, we have only done one short (300km round trip) road trip so far. But we really liked it. Some reviews say the Jimny isn’t as comfortable as the larger 4x4s, but I personally find it very comfortable and easy to drive! Also apparently it’s not the best ride at speeds above 120k/hr but again, we didn’t struggle at all. We’re not fast drivers anyway, and it’s actually quite zippy when passing slower cars on the road.

How I the Jimny (comfort-wise) on a road trip?
