Your bang on with this quote, this is what almost every journalist basis their comments on. The Jimny in whatever version needs to be driven differently on the road than a normal saloon car . I remember back in 2001 when I traded my Mini Metro in for a new Jimny, whilst driving home from the showroom it took me by surprise. The road to my avenue has a sharp left with a steep incline, I took the corner a bit too quick and it gave me a brown trouser moment. :blink: After that I altered my driving techniques to suit the car and it was perfectly ok, in fact I enjoyed driving my Jimny more than any other car I have ever had. I am sure that the Gen4 will have even better road manners with its bigger engine, wider track and steering damper..
