Only if I got to where I could afford a toy. Be nice to tow behind a motor home for off-roading while camping.

The Jimny is adorable but Suzuki dropped the ball and lost a big opportunity by not bringing it here. It now has the Bronco to contend with and that is not an easy battle which is why it is unlikely to be imported to the US.
You snooze you lose.

Listen up TOYOTA!

If it was 10K cheaper than jeeps and Broncos it would do just fine. I think its closer to 5K cheaper though.

I would love to have one. I looked at bringing an older one in from Japan. But it would have to be a third vehicle. A dedicated toy.

The imported ones are cheaper than decent tin top samurai.

They’re here in Greece and the bigger the tires, the more lift, the more it looks like a matchbox toy. Too small for my taste.

This really explains why we no longer have the Jimny (called the Samurai in the US).
