    While I currently ride a bike, I actively follow the Indian automotive scene and enjoy learning about cars through ownership reviews and media. Among the cars on sale today, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny stands out as my favorite. It's compact yet rugged, and brings true 4x4 capability in a practical, city-friendly package. What I admire most is its no-nonsense character—it's built for function, not flash. The Jimny appeals to the enthusiast in me because it stays true to its legacy: lightweight, reliable, and ready for adventure. It may not be the most powerful or luxurious, but it has a distinct identity, and that's rare in today's market. I also appreciate its mechanical simplicity, which makes it more accessible for those who value real driving feel and utility over just features.

    Jimny...people are judging the car based on looks and have not quiet experienced its full potential,its sales are quiet low in most area.Its cheap compared to other off-roaders available in our market and its reliability and suzuki brand reputation and easy service makes it more suitable to take it off roading.

    Jimmy is a very versatile off-roader. It's a unique car and it stands out in the crowd. Since it's a maruti it gives good mileage. Though small in size, it has a pretty much the road presence

    Probably the Jimny. Love the design and is a No Nonsense rugged do it all car. Doesn't have any unnecessary electronics either. It's the only "car" on sale that's good in India right Now, at an affordable price. Heavily underrated and it's value will probably be realised the second it's discontinued.

    I am personally a big fan old school raw unadulterated SUVs which a rare in this modern era Jimny meanwhile sticks to being a simple little go anywhere car with comparatively lesser electronics unlike the competition its simple 3 link rigid axle suspension stole my heart and its simplicity, this simple tiny little car stole my heart

    My personal favorite and my recent purchase is Jimny as I believe it's one of a kind and all-in-one offroader showing compact design with rugged durability. Furthermore, it's versatility is something that catches my confidence and adventure. Best for a adventure lover like me whose DNA is composed of thrills everyday.

    There’s something fun about the Maruti Jimny. It is small, but goes over bad roads like it doesn’t care. The engine feels decent and the boxy design catches attention. For city use and weekend trips, it fits nicely and is easy to live with.

    Maruti Jimny is a very well engineered, go anywhere car. Jimny's small dimensions helps it to navigate narrow city streets and difficult to access places. Jimny can seat 4 people in comfort making it very practical as an everyday car. Last but not the least, it has an old world charm, the Maruti Gypsy roots, which makes it perfect.

    I love my Jimny for its rugged 4_4 ability and compact size. Perfect for mountain roads and muddy tracks. In the city its a bit noisy and mileage is not good but off-road it shines

    All have their pros and cons, but my personal favourite is Jimny, it's being small in size, light in weight, body on frame, 4wd, and having Gypsy essence in it is my personal favourite. Above all it doesn't have a sunroof...

    I like Suzuki Jimny. I think the form factor of the car serves the purpose. I almost bought it, but in the end, traveling with a family came first, and being a single-car garage and having good comfortable rear seats were priorities, so I ended up with my Virtus. Even though I don't regret my decision, the Jimny still comes in my dreams. Every time I see one on the road or in Instagram reels, something heavy comes into my heart.
