As for jimny, well i really wish suzuki kept the sierra and just brought them out new instead of thejimny. jimnys look ugly IMO.
totally agree with you!

ok guys i went for a testdrive in one on sat... drives really nice!!!(unfortunately i couldnt take it 4x4ing :( )haha

looks like ill be getting this car..

seems that suzuki has compensated the 3 door with a 4.6:1 diff ratio which i guess is probably good enough for beaching??

your opinions would help!!

No, they've put shorter gears in the SWB because it has less power.
