I myself bought a jimny end of last year, was driving a 1.4 astra before but mrs kept moaning about it getting covered in mud so decided to get another happened to be the jimny. And what can I say....mint !! Never done off roading but my mates do and I took it out, pissed through everything ! And we were going down some right boggy lanes up rock faces the lot, I also use it for getting about the city and I think it's sound on fuel. Unless your on motorway, over 60-70 mph and it burns fuel like nobody's business but I don't do motorway miles so to me....it's the perfect motor, wouldn't even swa
