It is a shame the modern Jimny was not on sale for long - why didn't they just put in a different engine?

I thought they were auto only so that is good. Not sure hybrids are great for rough agricultural regions where the mechanics are more used to tractors than anything complex.

My son’s old Aygo was in today for some recall work on the rear window hinges. Top marks to Toyota for bothering with a ten year old car. Anyway, that aside, I followed him to the dealers this morning to give him a lift home. While there, like you do, we had a poke around the showrooms. He is totally smitten with the new Aygo X. Must say, I thought it was very nice too in the metal. Perhaps I should get a beige one, y’know, when the time comes. That’s what you’re supposed to do at a certain stage in life isn’t it? Get a small beige Japanese hatchback? I’m not sure I’m quite ready yet, but I’m warming to it. That Aygo X really is nice by the way.

Price, Humph? North of 15 grand I presume?
Manufacturers seem to be quietly phasing out or reducing the model ranges of their smaller cars aren’t they? More profit in the bigger, pricier vehicles. Toyota have never bothered to import the Aygo in to NZ anyway. The Yaris sells fairly well so I guess they don’t want to undercut it.
VW recently halted all new sales of the Polo down here too…
Raise prices, limit choice, gradually get motorists priced off the road?

Just picked up an Aygo X from Tel Aviv airport last night. Can't say too much given I have simply driven 30 miles on the motorway up the hill to Jerusalem.
Thrummy three pot engine well matched to the automatic gearbox but noisy if trying to maintain speed up a hill. Nippy on the city street.
Comfortable for two. I'm 5'7" and I can just sit behind myself for a short journey.
Will advise further.

I know I should at least consider the merits and demerits of a small Japanese hatchback given my new found demographic. 🤔
How is the gearbox? Some say the automatic in those isn’t its best feature?
I suppose they are attractively cheap. A quick google suggests you can get one that has barely been round the block for under £15k.
The ones with a canvas roof look like fun.

A bit form over function, IMHO. What does it do that an ordinary Aygo doesn't? Not much. Just looks 'roughty-toughty'.

It is a shame the modern Jimny was not on sale for long - why didn't they just put in a different engine? I bought my wife a small, rugged Suzuki SUV She would stand on top of the bonnet and roof to tell anyone who would listen, how wonderful it was. She was shouting from the Jimmy tops. Hat, coat, door, gone...
