SUZUKI JIMNY (1998- TO DATE)铃木jimny(1998年至今)
The Suzuki Jimny is a car with more to it than meets the eye.jimny的铃木汽车更是它却比眼睛. Many will dismiss it as just the latest in a long line of effete ?barbie-truck?许多人会以为只是最新的效果,在长长的?巴比车? 4x4s that would keel over as soon as they saw anything resembling a muddy track.四轮驱动车,要命一看到任何类似泥泞的轨道. Whilst that may be true of some lightweight 4x4s, it?s certainly not the case with the Jimny.虽然这可能是一些轻量级四轮驱动车,它?收盘不然与jimny. Think of it as a bonsai oriental version of the Jeep Wrangler and you won?t be far wrong.觉得是一种盆栽东方版吉普车wrangler你赢了?笔远矣. Yes, it is relatively crude, bouncy and noisy on road, but in the dirt it can more than hold its own.是啊,是比较粗糙,bouncy喧嚣安路但在污垢可以多举办自己. As a used buy, a well-looked after Jimny is the best budget way to experience the fun of off road driving.作为用来购买精心照顾jimny是最好的预算方法,体验越野驾驶的乐趣.
HISTORY历史
The Suzuki Jimny is a more modern incarnation of the old SJ413 series, unfortunately dubbed the ?tumble jeep?铃木jimny是一个更现代的化身的老sj413系列,可惜太快?滚落吉普车? by the press for its curious disinclination to remain dirty side down during vigorous cornering.由新闻界的好奇不愿留在肮脏方严厉打击垄断. The Jimny was introduced in October 1998, and its handling and road behaviour were far better than the old SJ ranges.jimny介绍了1998年10月其行为分别处理,道路远比旧修士不等. Although the ride was still somewhat agricultural on road, it had a certain charm, and safety had improved by leaps and bounds.虽然还是有点坐农路,它一定的魅力,和安全有长足的改善. The range initially consisted of a three-door hard top model only, but in spring 2000, the Jimny Soft Top was launched.射程由最初的三个月打门顶模式,而是在2000年春季,jimny的软顶拉开战幕. Retaining the basic appeal of the standard model, the Soft Top had a rather daunting two-piece hood arrangement and rather odd looks.基本保留上诉的标准模型,软顶已相当严峻两块方巾安排显得比较奇怪. Nonetheless, early sales were promising, fuelling suspicions that British motorists may have recognised a good car underneath the kitschy trappings.不过,早期的销售前景,英国警方怀疑可能助长公认的好车底下kitschy礼服.
The Jimny was subjected to an interior refresh in early 2005 and some modifications to its 1.3-litre 16v engine were brought in at the same time.jimny遭到了内政部的刷新,并在2005年初修改了一些1.3升16v发动机提起公诉的同时. Models later than this have a 3bhp power boost to 85bhp, a push-button selector for the 4x4 system and remote central locking.这一模式已经迟了3bhp功率85bhp刺激、一个电钮选择的四轮驱动系统和远程环锁.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Unless you plan to take your Jimny off road, it would be worthwhile considering the large number of alternatives which offer a more relaxed on-road experience.除非你打算用你jimny客道这是值得考虑的替代大批奖品更宽松关于路的经验. One drawback of the little Suzuki?s off roading prowess is that it necessitates a harder, more jiggly ride.铃木一小缺点?筑路实力在于它的产需费力,更jiggly旅程. The cabin, though dominated by grey plastic, is equally user-friendly, with a neat, simple layout that does a disservice to the term ?bland.?座舱虽然由灰色塑料,也同样方便,以整齐、简单的布置,不利于名词?平淡.? For a small car, the driving position is excellent however, accommodating for anyone up to a six-footer, with plenty of head and legroom.一小车,驾驶位置很好但是谁容纳多达六躯,头legroom充沛.
In true Suzuki style, you can also jazz up your Jimny by choosing from a huge accessory range.铃木在真实风格,你也可以选择从爵士乐您jimny庞大配套射程. Front guards, alloy wheels, grille covers and surrounds for the multi-reflector headlamps are amongst the obvious add-ons.前警卫合金车轮,包括门锁及周遭的多反射大灯明显的是其中新增. If you really must, there are also rear spoilers, body graphics and 'themed' spare wheel covers (!).如果你真要,还有后方拆台、图形和身体『主题』涵盖备用车轮(!). Bear in mind, however, that these things are likely to do little for residual values when the time comes to sell.记住,但是这些东西的人可能会有点剩余价值时候卖.
The Soft Top version is a fun item.软顶版是一个有趣的项目. Despite pages of terrifyingly complicated diagrams in the manual, raising and lowering the two-part hood is pretty straightforward.尽管页的手册,具有惊人的复杂图表,提高和降低两个部分方巾是这么简单. The front section, above the driver and front seat passenger, can be folded back ?targa style?前一段段司机及前座乘客可以折叠?targa风格? from within the vehicle and closed again in a matter of seconds.来自汽车及在几秒钟内再次关闭. A separate ?pram style?另?手推车风格? hood covers the rear passenger area and load space.方巾复盖面积和后排乘客空间负荷. Once the clear, zipped-in PVC side and rear windows have been removed, this roof section too can also be folded and stowed in a single, easy action and reinstated just as rapidly.一旦明确,zipped-聚氯乙烯方和后方的窗户都被拆掉,这也可以顶过一段折叠存放在单一、正如行动和迅速恢复容易. Zipping the windows back in requires patience and is not a job for cold hands!压缩窗口回到工作要有耐心,不是冷手!
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Jimnys are cheap.jimnys便宜. Expect to pay just £3,500 for the first of the manual hard top cars on a 1998 S-plate.预计仅付了3500英镑的手工打顶先于1998年的汽车板块. You shouldn?t countenance handing over any more than £6,000 even for a 2002 52-plate example.你不应当?笔嘴脸交出6000英镑以上,即使2002年52板块例子. The cars with auto boxes are worth around £400 more, but should only really be considered by those who wish to indulge in high street parading, a task for which an older Jeep Wrangler is a far flashier piece of kit for the same money.汽车与汽车400多箱,价值约英镑、但只算是那些想当官高街游行,其中一项任务是远远flashier旧吉普wrangler套同样一块钱. Prices for the Jimny Soft Top have yet to stabilise, but it costs the same new as the hard top car, although used values will be marginally higher.jimny的软顶价格尚未稳定,但由于成本难以同顶新轿车,虽然用价值将会稍高. There was a big options list for the styling accessories for the Jimny range including items such as alloy wheels, chromed door sills, fog lamps, roof racks and so on.备选名单上有一个大的造型配件的范围包括物品如jimny合金车轮铬门口窗台,雾灯,屋顶衣架等. Don?t pay any extra for these items ?鲍思?这些项目支付任何额外笔? the only piece of optional kit worth paying a premium for is the smart Suzuki roof box, and then only offer an additional £100.唯一值得付出的溢价择洁是聪明铃木屋顶盒然后才给予额外100英镑. Insurance for all Jimny models is a reasonable Group 7.所有型号jimny保险集团是一个合理7.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Jimny is a hardy little beast, but as with any off-road vehicle, it pays to check them out carefully.jimny的小兽哈是一,但正如任何越野汽车,自付仔细检查出来. Inspect the body panelling and paintwork for dents and scratches, ensure the underbody and suspension are undamaged and inspect the exhaust system.检查身体镶板为金属桶、擦伤、油漆、确保车身底部和暂停检查排气系统都安然无恙. The shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive system can be abused, as can the low-range gearing, so ensure they are working properly on the test drive.转变---飞四轮驱动系统可以被滥用,可以作为低幅度传动、所以确保他们的测试工作,妥善径. Otherwise check for a fully stamped up service history.另有一个全面检查服务历史烙印.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1998 1.3) There aren?t too many horror stories when it comes to Jimny spares prices.(大约1998基于1.3)有西哈莫尼?笔太多恐怖故事说到jimny备件价格. A clutch assembly kit is £115, whilst a complete exhaust system and replacement catalyst is around £280.离合器装配了115套英镑,而完全排气系统,更换催化剂280英镑左右. Front brake pads work out at less than £50 a pair, whilst at under £40 you?ll be able to afford an Imelda Marcos-like collection of rear brake shoes should the fancy take you.前刹车皮出低于50英镑舞蹈家而在40英镑吧?当地能够负担得起的马科斯夫人一样闸瓦应收款后方花式带你. A new radiator is around £185, and a new starter motor only slightly dearer at £195.新散热器约为185英镑,而在新的起动马达仅贵195英镑. Break one of those headlights and you?ll be looking at a bill for just over £100.打破其中的头灯和你?当地有一项看刚过100英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The Jimny doesn?t show its best side on the road.<jimny不惜?笔一边拿出最好的道路. Noise levels are quite high, as the 1.3-litre engine generates its 79bhp at a heady 6000rpm.噪音水平相当高,为130万公升79bhp发动机产生了一个振奋人心6000rpm. The handling is rather roly-poly, with the tyres making some tortured noises at quite modest cornering velocities.经办相当不倒翁,轮胎噪音也比较温和一些折磨墙角速度. It?s all quite good fun due to the fact that the Jimny is the sort of car whose on-road antics can?t be taken too seriously.?收盘各不错的乐趣鉴于jimny是那种对车的路点滴可以吗?采取笔太重. One note of caution ?一个值得注意的问题? watch that handbrake.手表,handbrake. It?s one of the strongest on any car available and will easily lock up the rear wheels at any given speed.?其中最强的汽车可在任何锁好,容易在任何特定的后方轮子速度. The other interesting point about the Jimny?s drive system is that when switched into two-wheel drive mode, it?s the rear wheels that receive the drive, making the little Suzuki great fun to punt about on loose surfaces.另外有趣的一点jimny?收盘传动系统就是当切换成两个轮驱动模式?收盘后,收到了车轮径铃木制作小玩踢约松散表面.
Like the original Vitara, four-wheel drive is selectable (these days via Suzuki's 'Drive Select' system), a surprisingly painless operation that can be accomplished whilst on the move.像原来vitara,四轮驱动的选择(这几天经铃木的'驾驶责'制度)无痛手术出奇地好,能同时对乔迁. Over reasonably rough terrain, the little Suzuki feels very confident, thanks to its tough ladder frame chassis, a standard design feature that many small off roaders lack; this renders cars like Toyota's RAV4 effectively useless for serious off road work.超过合理崎岖的小铃木感到很自信,由于其强硬底盘架梯子,标准设计过一样,缺乏特色,许多小;这使得像丰田汽车的产道严重无用rav4有效工作. You'll have to accept, however, that the Jimny won't ultimately have the wherewithal to reach the places that larger off roaders can.你必须接受,但是jimny,最终都不会达到必要的地方一样可以过较大. At least not in normal circumstances.在正常情况下,至少不要. Over in Iceland, they prefer light, simple little 4x4s like this because they don't sink into the snow: in soft boggy conditions here, it?s the same.过去在冰岛,喜欢轻,这样简单的小四轮驱动车,因为他们不陷入雪地:在软环境泥巴这里吗?收盘相同. Due to it?s inherent narrowness, the Jimny will also fit between obstacles that would leave a Range Rover flummoxed.由于它?收盘内在狭隘,也符合两国的jimny障碍将使罗孚flummoxed射程.
OVERALL 总体
Buy a used Jimny if you want to go off road in a nearly-new, reliable manner.买jimny如果你想用就去了将近路-新、可靠的方式. If you want it purely for on-road purposes, there are literally hundreds of better alternatives.如果你想在这纯粹路目的,还有数以百计更佳的选择. Don?t let the Suzuki?s diminutive stature deceive you ?鲍思?笔让铃木?收盘爱称气势骗你? it?s a lot of fun and surprisingly capable when things get rough.?收盘好玩的东西时,居然能得到粗糙. In these days of GATSO cameras and ten-mile tailbacks, that has to be a good thing.在这些日子gatso照相机和10英里tailbacks,则是一件好事.
