- couple of benefits of the 3 door vs 5 door in town - you can park it in spaces that very few others can use, it uses under 7l per 100km (manual).
Its not a performance car, its a small car with great off-road ability that you can buy new in manual from a dealer & doesn't have all the needless tech that makes other modern cars so heavy and expensive/difficult to repair.
I might get a 5 door in addition to my 3 door - that way I can turbo my 3 door (IMO will be better than my old manual Pajero evo) and put off-road kit on my 5 door.

- I adore jimnies but I can't help thinking it's too much money for the lack of power and especially torque. Easy around town, lovely when you get to your destination. Downright horrible getting there though. Loaded with luggage for two on a long trip at max 100km/h... let's just say frustrating.

- If Suzuki slap a turbo on this 4-door Jimny then this engine going to make more power then now because this engine is good for the 2-door Jimmy because it is not happy but this four-door is more heavy so slap the turbo on it Suzuki what are you doing
