Are Suzuki Jimnys prone to skidding in the wet?
Can anybody answer if the 2007 Suzuki Jimny is prone to skidding on a wet road surface? My wife skidded on leaving a roundabout- speed circa 15mph - and the car ended up facing the wrong way.

It's a short and tall car and handling on the road is pretty dire. But what happened may be due to the choice of tyres. They're best bought for off road use.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.

Outstanding ability off-road. Cute looks, especially as a soft-top. Cheap to buy.
