      Have two completely unrelated cars for your time. Both are very good cars at least?IMG_8971.JPG

        That Jimny....it's the only 'proper' off-roader I have a really big want for. The last-gen or current-gen Jimny. Neither were sold here, so I guess I'll have to import one from Japan!

          Same! I had one as a rental in some travels last year... super fun. Probably the slowest car I've driven and this was a 1.2L 🙂 but despite topping out at 100-120kph, it's a ton of fun. Super long throw gearshifts and heavy (manual?) steering, feels like you're driving an old 3/4 ton truck that happens to be tiny. And even on totally shot tires it's great fun on a muddy dirt road. I'm considering NZ for grad school and would totally own one there, cheap fun DD that'll go anywhere.

            Bah, top speed is overrated....short of a track, most national speed limits aren't higher than 120kph anyway!

              @rallydarkstrike 120 wouldn't happen if going up a long hill though! But yeah, plenty fast for the chassis all things considered, even if it's super buzzy over 80kph or so. 5th gear is only 1:1 haha
