Anyone seen these videos? Guessing the jimny will behave similarly? Been looking for elk/moose test videos of the jimny after getting a little worried about the missus driving our 2yr old about in it, the actual elk test seems ridiculous to me though as anyone performing that manoeuvre would be on the brakes not rolling!?

I think you will find that they changed the handling set up on the Jimny to break loose at the rear rather
than roll. Much more fun on a wet roundabout. :)

always wondered where that rumour came from!

all i can say is even with 4" lift it still takes some to make it wobble about on corners.

was doing massive 4wd donuts on the beach last year in it and was really stable even when it dug in :-)

That was the result of the Swedish elk test in a 36mph swerve without braking, resulted in it never being sold in Sweden I believe?
