Crossed 12000 km on my Jimny AT: Smooth ownership & wife is happy too

I started feeling sleepy on the expressway, so I pulled over and handed the driving responsibilities to my wife.

BHPian HTC recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

There's not much to update, except that my Jimny has now crossed 12,000 kilometers. My wife has gained confidence in doing intercity drives without me needing to navigate. Mission Jimny accomplished, as this was one of the main reasons I upgraded from the Zeta MT to the Alpha AT . On the return trip from Mysore to Bengaluru, I set the cruise control to 85 km/h and achieved a fuel efficiency of over 17 km/l. This is quite decent considering the car was loaded with two adults, two kids, luggage, a 50kg rice bag, and a top box filled with various items.

I started feeling sleepy on the expressway, so I pulled over and handed the driving responsibilities to my wife. It was great to catch up on 15 minutes of sleep, and once we entered the city limits, I took over the steering again. I felt refreshed and was able to reach home without any issues. The sleepiness was due to an early morning run after a long break, which resulted in body aches and tiredness. Nothing else.

Cheers,

HTC
