If you're coming from a Type R or an Audi TT, you'll have an opinion.

If you're coming from a MB S600 or an Audi A8L, you'll have another opinion.

If you're coming from a Yugo or Dacia 1310... another opinion.

Being happy with your Jimny is what really matters :lol:

I think it's just all about getting used to it. Of course every offroad truck is handfull to drive, and all over the road if you first drive a normal car and just jump behind the wheel, but eventually it grows on you so it feels "good" to drive...

But I think Jimny's are very good to drive compared to other modded trucks. I have 3" lift and I haven't even corrected the caster, and it still feels better to drive than other offroad trucks I've driven. :)

I agree with Paul, mine has a 3" lift and when I jump out of the company car and drive the Jimny it feels pretty bad , however after a few minutes you adjust to the different handling then iit's fine ;)
