Yep, the Jimny is a great litte car.

I've tried one, but haven't yet had time to write up the review for out website.

On the good side, it's cheap to buy, very versatile, and took just about anything I threw at it when it came to riding around the farm (it handled terrain that you'd very rarely cover on a shoot day!).

On the down side, I have to agree that the running costs do seem high for such a little car, and it seems unfair that it's taxed so highly. With regards to the size, once you get guns, cartridges, clothing, wellies, hats, lunch and a dog (probably not two) in the car their isn't much room for anytihng else, so unless your fairly confident that you won't be carrying passengers very often the I'd look for something a little larger.

With regard to the Shogun, I can sypathise entirely. I'm just about to move off of the farm and into a town (girlfriend isn't too keen on being that remote!), so the Shogun is pretty much redundant. Rising fuel costs are hitting the 4x4 market dramatically - that's easy to see from the shift in our car sales, and as a result the prices are dropping out of the used 4x4 market. It's a shame, but that's what happens when the economy is all to pot.

I can't supply used cars (although I do from time to time, but if you're looking for a good price on a new car (purchase, lease, contract hire, personal contract hire) then please feel free to drop me a line.
