I am writing this because I have never had such bad experiences with a car.I bought my 2006 jimny in 2008. Since then, the power steering has gone - twice1;the clutch has had to be replaced;the gearbox has leaked; the rear axle has broken and the front axle has also had to be replaced, and , today, it has broken down completely and needed towing for the 4th time - I don't yet know the cause but the gears roared and screeched, something underneath groaned and rattled and it gave out completely.
Every car place I take it to, I am told how great it is and how reliable, it will go forever apparently...
I consider some of the experiences I have had in my Jimny to have been extremely dangerous eg. when the rear axle broke a couple of weeks ago and the car swerved dramatically back and forth across the road and when the power steering gave out.
It's a cute car but my god, it's so not worth it!
