2019 Auto Jimmy test drive
Posted: Mon 04 Feb, 2019 7:00 pm
Hey crew,
I was in the vacinity of Gary and Warren Smith Suzuki on Springvale rd today with some time up my sleeve so I dropped in to have a look at the new Jimmy.
I worked in car sales many moons past and to my surprise was greeted by an old colleague from that time who is now the New Car Sales Manager there.
Had a good catch up and also test drove a yellow (can't remember there paint name) auto.
I want one!!!!
It drove nicely,with pretty good pick up and acceleration and was pretty quiet and comfy in the cab.
Approach and departure angles look great but unfortunately did not get a chance to test them out at all.
Super tight turning circle,would be great in the bush.
I tied low range on bitumen in a short straight line of about 150 mts or so.Noted that there was lots of transfer case whine in low,as was noted in a report I read recently.
The drive was far too short but the fuse has definatly been lit.
Damo
