Quick query!

Not clear from the brochure, do the door mirrors fold electrically?

No, electrically adjustable mirror but not folding.

G-imny you are correct but it's also worth a read at the Official Suzuki Manual which I understand refers to the mirror controls being located on the door! After examining the door card as part of a forensic study I noted the controls are actually on the lower front dash. As part of my 'Be Prepared' approach to driving a new car I also looked at the jacking instructions. Interested in other comments on whether the manual is rather ambiguous as to where you should place a trolley jack? Pictures and words don't quite complement each other.

From memory it was just over £400 and that seems to include 2 small services and a big one. Cheap as chips compared to Land Rover, although the Suzuki dealership doesn't seem to offer all the muffins, breakfast bags, luxury loan cars, mini-bus to the city centre and beautiful people smiling at you through chemically whitened teeth.

Interesting day with the Jimny today. First off it was rather chilly and the doors hadn't frozen up - good news. Secondly the car seems to defrost quickly - good news. Thirdly the windscreen washer jets seem prone to freezing solid after a few miles at speed down the local dual-carriageway. By the time I got to the office I was down to 2 out of 4 jets operating and the pressure was what some magazines would describe as flaccid. As the miles rack up commuting, the engine and transmission continue to bed in nicely. That raised edge around the rubber mats is proving very practical as my snowy boots thaw off under the impressive heater - thankfully I didn't spec the luxury carpet mats in this weather. Fuel economy has yet to dip below 43mpg and that includes a mix of urban dual-carriageway, city centre motorway and a few rural B-roads. Tomorrow morning will be interesting as the new car smell may have been permanently erased after I consumed a special haddock supper with vinegar on the way home.

My 3 year 'discounted' service plan quote is £679.52. Seems a bit steep compared to just over 400! Not sure weather to take it or not.
