There's one on adverts now - €950 should buy it as there's been massive levels of the ghey in terms of buyers, someone actually commented on what a crap "for sale" thread it was, ahem.

Had both the Jimny and the terios, the Suzuki is a far superior machine off road, the terios very good on the road, if you getting a terios get one with the diff lock button on the dash. The terios fails the nct on the suspension arms in the front, they are 185-220 euro a side before labour, high milers can and do fail the emissions a lot. get one sub 70k if you can. I also had a vitara, I would have a jimny again, unreal off road.

i'm on my second Jimny with the right tyres can and has gone anywhere,more fun in the field or bog than on the road.I'm just after a change really i'm still going to keep my jimny have seen a few terios already but either crazy miles or suspension seems dodgy which even tho on low budget was too risky.like your post they did seem comfier on road if in good condition.was thinking of vitara but will see if any joy with terios first

The terios rear shocks trail quite low so ground clearance is affected, now I put mine into some quare spots and never got stuck with a/t's but they will never match a jimny. No low box also. also solid beam axle

yeah i thought that much with the terios tbh i'll be hoping not to have to use 4wd unless necessary the jimny at the moment even in 2wd the places it goes in and out of is surprising.the right tyres help
