The Suzuki Jimny has been around since 1998, and feels its age.
The Jimny is actually very good off-road - it can easily keep pace with a Land Rover Defender through the rough stuff.

The Jimny's cabin is dated and even the artificial leather on SZ4 models doesn't lift it.
The Jimny uses an old-fashioned 1.3-litre engine with little power and even less refinement.

The car takes over 14 seconds to get from 0-60 - or over 17 seconds in the automatic version.
The Suzuki Jimny can't even return 40mpg.

The Jimny's rear seats are very cramped - and only the front seat occpants get airbags.
The Jimny's boot is tiny, seats up or down.

The side-hinged tailgate isn't especially practical either.
