I hope their quality control is as good as Suzuki's, I remember when Dacia moved their Duster manufacturing for the UK market to Chennai in India the quality control was dreadful and it was a PR disaster. Dacia had to eventuality source all the UK Dusters from the Romanian factory as the reputation of an Indian built Duster was damaging the brand.

The finish is not really any different to the Gen3, it seems to be more that the "new" audience for the Gen4 Jimny are more critical of finish of a chassis based vehicle that any longer term owners. The chassis puts much more visible "metal" in the view of anyone looking including the radius arms etc. and a lot onnew owners have not owned a chassis based vehicle. These get the same coatings of surface rust etc that the Gen3s have. Equally, the apparent thin paint finish on internal areas (inside the engine bay etc.) is the same as our Gen3s. Now its true that this is rust issue area on vehicles of 10 years plus, but my point it is that it is no better or worse than it has ever been. You could answer that it should be better in the new version but I guess the answer is that they are a utility vehicle built to a price.
The only Gen4 specific issue that has been raised is corrosion around the spare wheel mounting bolts.

Definitely South Africa will be one of the destinations. Right hand drive with LED lights and no electronic safety stuff. Phillipines - LHD and no electronic safety, halogen headlamps.mlines wrote: Not only the first one done, but the first ones exported. Looks like they are destined for less mature markets
