"my 1st vehicle and i dont have any experience about them, It will be used for light work and city running most of the time. Basically i want to buy a SUV,( coz i like the JEEP factor), so i want to know." > Jimny is a 2 door (3) suv and u can have 4 average adults in it. But it is a bit of a pain as the back seat has to be accessed by the front left door. this issue is relates with how many u r taking and whether there are many pick ups and drop offs. Again if you don't mind then no issue. Jimny doesn't give much trouble for maintenance. Engine spares are available and engine is almost similar to the swift with vvt. Jimny is capable of offroading and u will be able to use it for adventure trips as well. It all depends on what u require. But mark my words, when u have a SUV, u would want to try that out someday... 1. Is suzuki jimny is the vehicle for me, is it good when comparing with terios daihatsu or RUSH, Honda Hr-v etc > Well u need to figure that out depending on what u want to do and what u got (money). Rush and HRV are not in ur price range so leave them out. Advantage with daihatsu terios is that it got 4 doors. But the width of the vehicle is not that great to accomodate a 3rd person in the rear seat for a trip. Stability is also a concern with terios as the width of the axles compared to the height of the vehicle. Also, most terios are not having 4wheel drive. So, oneday u might wake up and wonder why am i having a suv with no 4wheel drive. (again if it is only for showing off then ok.. till somene tell u that urs doesn't have 4whl so it's no good). 2. What is the average price range ? (i did a search, so comes up with range 17 to 20 ) > 17 to 19 would be a better range. but it is up to you to decide the age of it. 3. What is the fuel consumption? > Jimny does about 14kmpl long distance with a very light foot on the gas (5fwd manual) with 95octane 4. what about the spare parts and general problems associated with this vehicle? > Basically a reliable vehicle if maintained properly.Engine spares are not much difficult to find and other spares are available (not with A*W) outside shops. But worst case, you will be able to order anything for this online (but I am sure that it will not come to this). My simple advise is thatu keep away from Perodua.

Hey Guys, Does anyone know how the vehicle speed and RPM are related with the engine capacity. I have driven a 1100cc car at 120kmph with the RPM going up to 4500. In this run I got fuel efficiency of 9.5kmpl. I am interested in knowing, that if I had a bigger engine say like a Rav4 1900cc, what would be the fuel consumption and RPM going at 120kmph or so? Just trying to see if it would be more economical to buy a RAV4 in long distance driving..... Please give me some real good information. Has anyone driven a 4X4 at these speeds and noted the RPM??? Thanks...
