For some reason you can’t buy it as a “van” and they will only import them to Denmark with manual gearboxes.

1) I hate driving a manual....I like to just putting in Drive and cruise along without having to work a clutch and select a gear constantly

2) I don’t need rear seats, it’s always just me or 1 other person driving and I always have equipment,  a large dog or something to haul around...so a “van” is ideal for me

I prefer a manual gearbox
Rear seats would be okay as long as you have the option of taken them out :tu:

Looks cool but what engine options do you get  :tu: :like:

A very agricultural (by today’s standards) 1.5L naturally aspirated in-line 4 cyl. with 100 (ish) HP

Which is fine for a little lightweight “Jeep” like this and for taking it off road...but don’t expect to win any races in it

I think for the type of vehicle it is and for its intended target group / market....”less is better” if you know what I mean..

Just a guess

Suppose it’s better than the 1.3 litre engine
they have used in the past on their 4x4s :D

Yeah I don’t think Jimnys ever had anything remotely impressive in terms of their engine options

Like with Mazda MX5s

But both are not the type of vehicles where you need tons of power to have fun or use them for their intended purposes

Hmmm......

So a Brit who drinks coffee instead of tea?

And a Viking who drinks wine instead of beer?




Illuminati confirmed!

Moon landing was fake!

CIA shot JFK!
