BHPian RijuC<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n I am a 6 footer and 93 kg body weight driver. Drove the Jimny Alpha AT from Gurgaon to Dalhousie, Khajjiar to Gurgaon, Gurgaon to Lucknow, Lucknow to Gurgaon without getting tired. I never felt the driver’s footwell is too cramped.<\/p>\n During the expressway drives for these above mentioned sections, drove my Jimny at 100 kmph on cruise control. And there was absolutely no problem. I am a sedate driver and don’t need German\/ Czech sedan characteristics and dynamics in my BOF 4×4 boxy shaped Jimny. Otherwise, I can do zig zag through the trucks or overtake slow moving trucks safely with OD-off.<\/p>\n I recommend getting a real test drive for 20-30 kms or ask your Jimny owner friend to lend it to you for a day and then post a proper review instead of posting your perception about this 4×4 vehicle.<\/p>\n I am not an off-roading enthusiast. I needed a relatively well built vehicle which can easily be driven through extremely bad roads of Gurgaon and an occasional AWD capability for not so aggressive off-the-tarmac adventures, with Automatic Transmission, within my budget of 14-15 lakhs. There was no petrol engine AWD+AT available in India below 20 lakhs. Hence, I am driving a Jimny today.<\/p>\n This is my primary and only car.<\/p>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n
