Jimny Alpha AT - Clestial Blue - ownership review

Hi friends ,
Yesterday I got my Jimny alpha At after a few weeks of waiting time . Being a petrol head had my eyes , keen on a lifestyle vehicle and off-roader which is easy to maintain and stylish . Jimny came into the picture long back and I really wanted the three door version . The five door version in the pics seemed odd . So even though after the media drive reports, initial booking wasn’t done as I wanted to see the car in real . Saw it on June 12 th unveild at NEXA - SARATHY pallimukku kollam . Fell in love with the car especially the interior fit and finish . Inside was spacious than I thought . Perfect for my travel needs as I travel alone or with my small family . For us it was perfect . But was skeptical if my parents could have an easy ingress . Took mom along with me to the showroom so that she can have a glance on the car and if she can have an easy Ingress and egress . She was really ok with it . Father too was ok with the car as he mostly prefers our Phoenix - Honda city Zx Cvt 2017 , even my mother too likes it for it’s unmatched comfort . Booked the Jimny then and there . Was keen on kinetic yellow but the booking on the colour was too much .our sales advisor Shyamlal was very helpful . We changed our mind and booked with celestial blue . Our booking was no 6 . They said I can expect it in few weeks time as celestial blue chances are more to get. Booking was done on June 23 rd . The car was unloaded from the trailer on 22 nd July and pics were shared with me as I couldn’t reach the yard on time . Mr Vinod service head SARATHY was really helpful and he fired up the engine for the fist time when it touched down from the trailer . After all the PDI and registration formalities Shyamlal stood behind as Pillar to deliver the car in time. We got our car on July 27 . As of today the car has completed 250kms with an average of 13kmpl . Coming from hatch back like ignis
AGS & sedan like honda city CVT , jimny felt jeep like . The body roll is not that evident . High seating position has a commanding state while in the road . Keeping fingers crossed . More miles to cover

Hello mates ,
A small update on my wolf ( Jimny alpha At 2023) prime celestial blue . Jimny went for its 1 st service . 1000km in less than 10 days . Getting accustomed with drivability in Jimny as it’s my first 4x4 . Have been using sedans and hatch backs . Getting accustomed to AT TORQUE CONVERTER OF JIMNY - 4 speed . It feels really different from honday city Cvt and Ignis Ags which I have been drinking for the past 6 years . Getting adapted to new driving style . 1 st service was done at NEXA SARATHY motors kotiyam , kollam . A general check was all done for this service . Altogether 15 min time . Posting some pics of the same .

Hello fellas,
It’s been a while I have posted on my Jimny alpha at , last week Jimmy crossed 5000km in its odo , gave it for its second free service at SARATHY Kotiyam , had to change the ac filter as it was fully spoiled due to NH WORKS GOING out at Kerala . Had to spend 600₹ for the same . The behaviour of the car post 4500km is commendable . Now the engine has Allmost settled with ease of speeding with reduced rpm . Car feels more planted now . Posting pics and videos
