The 3,985 mm body is easy to place, but the upright cabin and short 2,590 mm wheelbase give the Jimny a distinctive ride. Compare manual and automatic versions in traffic, inspect the rear access and test the GLX wheel and tyre combination on broken town roads. The extra doors are a practical gain, not a promise of a large cabin. The Jimny 5 doors should be driven through a normal weekday rather than judged from a quiet dealership loop. Check visibility, access, parking, climate control, storage and the exact safety equipment fitted to the quoted suv. A short route should include the awkward turn, speed hump, ramp or loading point that normally exposes a vehicle's weak point. If it cannot be tested at the dealership, ask for a second drive or make the question part of the purchase record.
