Suzuki Jimny 2023
Carsguide Deputy Editor James Cleary had this to say at the time: On paper, the Jimny struggles as a purely urban proposition. It just gets over the line in terms of standard spec for the money, it’s not particularly practical or powerful, safety is a sizable question mark, and even servicing costs are off the segment pace.

The 2023 Suzuki Jimny carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1300 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Do you know if Australia will get the new Suzuki Jimny five-door this year or next?
The backlog of orders for the retro little Suzuki Jimny means that buyers need to be patient. At the start of this year, Carsguide was told that the average waiting time between purchase and delivery in Australia was between six and eight months. While ever Suzuki is experiencing demand like that, you wouldn’t expect any rush to expand the range.
That said, reports have emerged that Suzuki has, indeed, green-lighted a five-door Jimny which would have those two extra doors as well as the possibility of a turbocharged engine and even a mild-hybrid driveline (mainly to suit European tastes). The five-door concept is said to be 300mm longer and will probably weigh a little more as well.
At this stage, rumours suggest the five-door wouldn’t be in production until 2023 at the very earliest, but given Australia’s demand for the two-door version, you’d expect Suzuki to give serious consideration to sending the five-door Down Under.

Stretching out service intervals?
As much as I don't like to recommend that you don't service your car I think in this case you could extend the time between services, but don't let it go beyond 12 months.

Ongoing issues with 2000 Suzuki Jimny
Because of the long time that has passed since the crash it will be very hard to connect the problems you are having to the prang. Crank angle sensors often fail on all makes and models, I wouldn't attribute that to the crash, and the head and head gasket problems you have had are unlikely to be related either. The second instance of head cracking and the head gasket failure are more likely to be the result of poor repairs to the head when it first cracked.
