@@handsonwithbabbar I agree! I am almost sold after test-driving the Jimny recently and this video kind of cleared some of the minor details I was pondering about. It is indeed a beautiful small machine but trust me.. it is the most comfortable in tight traffic conditions. I test drove this in Bangalore's mad bumper to bumper traffic and I love the nimbleness with which I could maneuver this machine. Simply brilliant. I am just not sold on the pricing but what the hell, there's nothing that beats this car in the segment after all. So mostly this is replacing my current 10 year old sedan.
My Brother in Christ, people like you are always happy to apply the "pseudo" tag to reviewers that take the time to work on and grow a RUclips channel. Why not try to do it yourself, and see how easy it is?
I have bought a jimny too recently when Maruti Suzuki offered discounts in December. My variant is Alpha MT kinetic yellow dual tone. I've driven it around 2.2k kms and this is what I feel about this car:- Pros: 1. Very capable off roader. Earlier I was driving 4x2 where sometimes I had to struggle during off roading but off roading in jimny feels way way easier. 2. Compact car. Maneuvering on narrow roads not an issue. 3. Suspension is really good. 4. Body roll over is almost non-existent. 5. Less road presence makes your car look different and with some modifications, people will keep checking out your car. 6. Boot space is adequate. U can put sufficient luggage if u want to go on a trip. 7. Five door system makes it highly practical. Ones who have used 3 door system on gpysy and thar would understand how tedious and uncomfortable it is to sit in the rear seats. Due to this reason, jimny can actually be used as a primary car. 8. Best 4x4 at this price. Cons: 1. Rear seat belt alarm is annoying. 2. Gearbox is stiff initially and may take time to adjust. 3. Stock tyres and the front grill give a bad look to this car imo. Stock tyres are really thin. From the front, car looks like a toy due to this very reason. Upgrade if possible. Side profile of this car looks great though. 4. This car feels underpowered. No matter what others say, this car won't compete with many on the highways. This might be a factor to many who like to drive fast (over 100kph). There's a lag in acceleration. 5. Turning radius is a bit more. 6. Cabin space inside is not enough for big bulky guys. If you're bit overweight, your arms will be touching the car door and also to the person sitting alongside you in the front. For skinny guys it's not an issue. Car is tall enough so there's enough space for your head also. 7. Under thigh support is not adequate in the rear seats. 8. This car doesn't have proper storage space for basic stuff like bottles, phones etc. It's really bothering.
Thanks for summarising most of my video 😀! The stock tyres are perfect for me and work like a charm. I don’t feel the car is underpowered and hey it’s not meant to compete in speed, this one is not fast but it’s fearless! The space inside is more than adequate I feel and I am a big guy, don’t know if you a big built or you are just guessing that it will be tight fit for two big guys! I can tell you from experience that it’s not a tight fit for two big guys sitting abreast in front! Yes rear seat belts are annoying, turning radius is tad bigger and cabin storage is a problem, however I have found hacks for them and you should see my 2 latest videos to see these hacks 👍🏻
@@handsonwithbabbar I've watched all your videos and the latest ones too with hacks. They're good. I'm saying space inside is inadequate because others who have sit beside me have said it. I'm not a big guy but few times I sat with bigger guys and I could feel the space issue. I said underpowered because this car lags in acceleration. I was trying to follow my cousin who was driving swift on chandigarh road but couldn't because of lag in acceleration. Anyway, I live in the mountains so speed is not a concern for me. As you said, this car is not for competing on highways. This car does it job pretty well for what's it made. I'm contended. Stock tyres do the job well but during off roading you might feel it doesn't perform that well as it would with better tyres (A/T).
@@freakout4775My dear fellow, the matter at hand is not with the vehicle itself, but rather with the unfortunate corpulence of your companions. It might behoove you to gently suggest they consider adopting a more refined and healthful diet. Such a course of action could not only extend their years but also allow you to derive greater pleasure from your conveyance.
One of the best reviews, the way it was done the way you spoke and the way you addressed issues and compliment the good features with real life comparisons , just the best
This is the only JIMNY video that I will share- what an honest no nonsense review by someone who you can so relate to- way better than so many noisy self styled auto journalists on the tube. Keep up the great work Ritesh - God bless
Real honest, simple and strsight forward review. A rarity now a days. Great going. Please upload more videos on anything under the sun you feel like. A breath of fresh air in the polluted environment!!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, really appreciate it. I am glad you like the IBEX! I will pass on your compliments to the Video Editor 🙏🏽
After viewing your review. I have booked the Jimny and will be driving in soon. Thanks for the comprehensive coverage and positive feedback.🙏😊 will name my Jimny “Godspeed”.
I did damping to the doors and bonet, changed the android system to the latest pioneer 6650 with new speakers, installed a Pedal commander throttle controller for the interior, and it was totally worth it.
Glad you liked it! Hope you have seen the second video, here's the link ruclips.net/video/mLnApi1oAPA/видео.html Thank you for your compliments, keep watching, Cheers👍
Finally something practical and honest. Someone who spoke what Jimny really is. It is a very underrated car and does not deserve all the bashing and hyped up reviews. Thank you and I just love my Jimny. 😊
Price breakup explained was so sensible enough...Not that we all don't know about it. We are so caught up with the current strategy of people just naming vehicles as over priced, that we forget to think about it...Just like how a import car cost more...
Thank you! what you said and also that the break-up is only visible to someone who is buying it otherwise everything is either bundled as ex-showroom and /or on the road! Cheers 👍
A very unique presentation on Jimny I had ever seen from an Indian RUclipsr. Great Piece of work sir & yes you busted a lot of myths which I had formed of this car after reading & watching the reviews. Keep up the good work. I would like to hear more about your first car the Fiat Uno if you could share.
Thanks a ton for your generous compliments, I am so happy to read your comments and to note that it made a difference! Like I said the Uno story another day but I can tell you that it was a dream car for a diesel head, pure unadulterated driving pleasure, Fiat service was a big challenge though 😀. Cheers!
Excellent Review. By far the best, among all. Excellent effortless explanation of details and also keeping the broader picture in view. Best part was clearing out many myths. Jimny is an excellent car and someday will go for it. May name it the Ram.
Thank you so much for your kind words, really means a lot to a newbie like me! I wish you all the best and hope that you join this growing Jimny tribe soon 🙏🏽. Watch out for the sequel of my video coming out shortly ☺️
Superb video sir. I booked Kinetic yellow and finally change it for Bluish Black. I also having same filling of Crome on front grill which actually not required for black colour. My suggestion sir, if possible make Jimny group for us Indians to make some memorable trips. Thank you.👍
Thank you so much Bhavesh for the encouragement! Great choice of color 😉, there may be a Jimny group of us in the future, who knows? In the meantime Please watch out for the sequel of my video coming out shortly ☺️
I am one of those who wish to own one. You're honest review is very helpful for me as personally to have an informed decision on buying. Thanks a lot. We hope we'll have atleast a hybrid version coming up soon.
I was worried about lack of power. Good. Since you drove a Mahindra and you feel that the Jimny does not lack power is encouraging. I am waiting for my MT Alpha to arrive. After watching your review I am now less concerned about power. Great review. Liked your style..
Thanks for sharing - the best way to put it is that its not the strongest but it's not weak either - it's a happy car 😊 Thank you for your compliments. 👍
Mine shall be called 'King Julien' (from the 'Madagascar' animated movies fame. Just love that quirky character - as so many people love this quirky little super capable car). I can't wait for mine. I did feel, though, during the test drive that the engine sound does come through pretty clearly at higher revs (maybe some sound deadening may help). The box shape will also result in wind noise. In your video too, when you were showing the 80 and 120 km/h beeps, felt/sounded loud. And the lack of door storage and the hand-rest is definitely an annoyance. But none of these would dissuade me.
Lovely name for this happy car indeed! You will pardon all the little shortcomings when you are sitting inside "King Julien", mark my words and do write back once it happens, good luck👍
Great style Sir... Brilliantly covered aspects of this very capable Mountain Goat. Icing on Cake's top was the name you suggested is really 👌super. Suzuki sure needs to provide an Arm Rest! Bells and chimes can be better than that ancient beep!!! I used to like the Ford chimes. This car is a must buy as one can keep it for decades like our elders did with the Gypsy 🙏 My IBEX is on its way. 😊
I really liked your way how u kept this conversation unbiased and opened a way for the people who were in ambiguity whether or not to buy this marvellous invention
Your review can make anyone feel that we are actually listening to someone who know the soul of car. Nowadays internet is filled with self claimed enthusiasts and car gurus who review less of a car more of a gizmo.
You are really kind and generous with your comments and you have made my day - many thanks, truly appreciate it - a follow up Q&A review coming up shortly, please stay tuned - see i am taking your advice seriously 😊
do not know if you are a journalist or now, but this video is such a great content. Hope to see more such content coming out from you. Love every bit of it, in fact could feel every bit of it
Thank you so much, its heart warming to read such glowing comments 😊. Not a journalist, but a passionate guy and i am overwhelmed to see this tremendous response and am motivated to do more stuff that folks like you value, thanks again and stay tuned for the sequel coming soon!
Thank you so much, your comment made my day 😊 Hope you got the opportunity to see the other videos as well, appreciate the time taken to watch and comment, cheers!👍
Thank you so much for your kind comments, I try to do my best and am glad that you liked them, hope you have seen the follow up video released yesterday. Cheers 😊
I have spent 3 days with my new Jimny so far. Mine too Is bluish black alpha AT. I changed the tyres to continental 215/75/r15 at on the day one as I didn’t like the stock and couldn’t really trust on them for my kind of driving. The vehicle is certainly very comfortable for front 2 seaters, the rear ones may ask to stop for a while after 100 or 150 kms. Only one thing i miss is the throttle response that I used to get from the duster awd I sold.
I'm getting my 5 door Jimny in June. Red color GLX Auto version. His name will be Charmeleon, from Pokemon japanese anime. Since Charmeleon is the second evolution of Charmander, it's perfect for the 5 door which pretty much is the second evolution from the 3 door version. And both are red as well, so I think is a perfect name. Thank you a lot for your reviews by the way, helped me a lot deciding to buy myself a 5 door Jimny! Greetings from Costa Rica mate!
Wow! Delighted to read your comment and the Charmeleon theory - I am aware about Charmander courtesy my kids, I wasn’t aware of it’s evolution into charmeleon 😃! Great choice of the car and name for it! I am really happy to learn that my videos helped you make the decision to buy the 5-Door Jimny - you will certainly enjoy it! Good luck and best wishes from India, cheers 👍🏽
What should I say...!!! People have commented enough about this man's reviewing style and his honesty and his personal take on the Jimny....I've been watching a lots of car reviews in years specially the famous ones on youtube, people know whom all I am referring too...After watching this man's reviewing style I can now feel how filmic most of the reviews are...Kindly do more car reviews...I'm sure you'll go places...All the best...!!!
Thank you for your glowing feedback, you have indeed made my day 😊. I am flattered. I am so glad that you enjoyed the reviews, also have made a very serious note of your advice...Thanks again👍
Namaste and equally warm greeting from India, my dear new friend from Cyprus! Thank you so much for your compliments, appreciate it! Have you been able to watch the other 3 videos in the series so far? Check them out, cheers👍🏽
That's a good suggestion...naming your Jimny..never thought of it...btw,I changed my tyres to Yokohama 225 and I promise you the ride comfort on goes up big time..just finished 2500kms in 5 days in Rajasthan and it was makhan smooth
Glad you liked it, do share the name you finally come up with for your Jimny! I really like the ride quality and handling on the stock tyres plus there are bound to be small issues around odo and speedo errors, road noise, fuel efficiency, steering response with any tyre change etc. I might consider a tyre upsize after I wear out this set… thanks and cheers 👍🏽
It's a great car both on road and off road - perfect for a small family that loves a li'l bit of adventure and needs a practical fun to drive car for the city 👍. Thank you for watching and your wonderful comments.
Honest and thoughtful! All the words coming out of experience. Loved your take on the run in period, little does anyone know about it... keep up the good work... And i liked your other videos as well, keep on posting the DIY stuff 👍🏼
I appreciate that - thank you so much for your compliments! I know how that feels brother, please don't lose hope yet, this life is full of surprises, i am wishing you a future with a nice Jimny in it that is yours, cheers 😊
Great explanation 👌and I don't know about the car but this video is very interesting and I like this video I want to see better speed of the car ...I sure your explanation is amazing ❤
It's a really great review, unlike other you tubers. Jimny really a good depiction of ibex and what like its design which has hints of past, freshness of present and still looks futuristic.
Couldn't agree more on your spot on observations of the Jimny - many thanks, appreciate it - a follow up Q&A review coming up shortly, please stay tuned👍🏻
Exactly! Most people don't know this but the power to weight ratio for the Jimny and the Thar Petrol is exactly the same 😎, thanks for corroborating my findings, Cheers 👍
Superb and captivating unbiased review.The features are well explained. I am driving XL6 since a year,Three irritants for me.Firstly,no Led indicators on doors, display panel like XUV.Secondly,connecting to Music System thru Blue Tooth or USB is a big struggle.Lastly,the Gear change display gets hidden behind the Steering,one has to bend forward to see the Gear.hope they have addressed these irritants in Jimny.
Thank you for your compliments - appreciate your saying that! I hear you, it's a struggle to understand how big car companies miss the simplest things sometimes! The XL6 otherwise i hear is a fun car to drive...On the Bluetooth connectivity, have you searched the web and seen is this a universal problem or something wrong with your car or your phone specifically, because the Bluetooth connection in the Jimny is just seamless! secondly, the steering column in the XL6 is adjustable both for tilt and reach, so you can adjust it to suit your height / sitting stance and you should be able to see the gear info without bending, look it up, if you are not aware of it. Let me know if any of this helped. Cheers and good luck! 👍
Wow! Wow! What were these 21 minutes of watch like? Completely blown away by the way Jimmy was presented to the viewer, to me! And how was the video ended! God! Inspiring! And the creative touch: name your Jimmy. It was a struggle for me to think of a name if I happen to own one. BTW, what should I call my little toy, Brio in my garage! I don't know. Anyways, enjoyed every bit of it...never have I seen any review of this kind....you're in a different league. 😊
Haha...many thanks... i like your style too, you really know how to give compliments. I truly appreciate your comments. The Brio is a cute & capable car, let's call yours "Khargosh" 😊. Let me know what you think of it. Keep watching and engaging, cheers 👍
@handsonwithbabbar your comment makes it a perfect handshake now. Khargosh? Really! But yes, it sounds quite apt for Brio. Honda probably adopts fish philosophy. Honda makes most of its cars, if not all, as smooth gliding over the road as fish experiencing fluid freedom in the ocean. And the quickness and freedom of rabbits is no different. Anyways, the presentation, the quality of content, the analysis, observations and finally the pouring of the creativity touches all along the video, let me repeat my emotions, makes the video a perfect recipe for others to pick from and emulate. You've a gift, sir!
Sir, thank you for this review and other videos on the Jimny. I'm purchasing one this week, and I was starting to think I was making a mistake by choosing the Jimny as my first car, due to the opinions of self-proclaimed auto experts on RUclips. However, I fell in love with the car during the test drive, and I'm a huge fan of the Gypsy. Now, after watching this video, I'm buying the Jimny with full confidence and a clear heart.🫂
Congratulations on making this decision and you wouldn’t regret it! It makes a great primary car for a family of 4 and it outsmarts most other cars in the city driving too - potholes, narrow lanes, tight parking spaces, water logged roads etc etc are all a breeze for it plus you really enjoy driving it too .. good luck 👍🏼
wonder full and informative review, agree with all the details. beep can stooped for infotainment system in setting.. the car is crazy and wonderful, will recommend going for AT 235/75/R15 the tires are made for Jimny and help in better highway and off road control
Thank you so much for you kind words, appreciate it! Ya, figured out silencing the beeps in system settings. I am firm on staying with the stock tyres - the Bridgestone Duelers, its currently shod in, are amazing tyres in all respects. Thanks again, Cheers 👍
Great review. Very sensible. Ibex is an apt name. System sounds volume can be turned down in settings on touch screen. And system beeps can be switched off. May be you can disable Auto start / stop engine feature in the hidden system settings on the dashboard. Check user manual. If you use Auto light function then you don’t need to worry about DRLs & headlights. I think DRL should always be on by default - unless they have given to option to disable that for use in jungles. Many of the features are similar to Brezza / Urban Cruiser. Happy driving ! I think I will book one after watching your review.
You booking a Jimny after seeing my review is the best compliment I can get! Thank you for your kind compliments and also sharing your knowledge on Maruti cars - I did figure out the Volume beeps silencing in settings & also read in the Owner's manual that you can disable start stop in settings but haven't found that yet, DRLs are still a mystery 😊 Thanks again, Cheers 👍
jimny is super fantastic car. i am so happy that 4-door version is available. but they need to make it available for wide range of countries worldwide.
I think it's coming to more countries sooner than later, they have the capacities here so i think it's just a matter of time! Out of curiosity, where are you located? Thank you for your engagement and for watching, cheers 👍
After your review. I'm feeling more confident to buy this as my new primary car. Dehradun reviewers were more likely to blind fan of thar. I would definitely name my Jimny "Ounce" a Snow Leopard.
I have spent 3 days with my new Jimny so far. Mine too Is bluish black alpha AT. I changed the tyres to continental 215/75/r15 at on the day one as I didn’t like the stock and couldn’t really trust on them for my kind of driving. The vehicle is certainly very comfortable for front 2 seaters, the rear ones may ask to stop for a while after 100 or 150 kms. Only one thing i miss is the throttle response that I used to get from the duster awd I sold. Am planning to replace the rear seat with 2 captain seats and make it a full 4 seaters after 1st or 2nd service. Please share your opinions
Congratulations of your new Jimny! You are right, the rear seats may be a challenge for long drives! If you do need 4 functional seats frequently, then it would make sense to go for the Captain seats assuming you will not miss the folding feature of the current rear seats for a bigger boot space when you need it as the captain seats are unlikely to have that flexibility. I would however be very interested in finding out how that works and if you do plan to execute it, you can let me know in advance through my YT mail turbobubdiy@gmail.com and maybe we can even make a video ;) who knows! My experience with the throttle response has been that, its really quick when you take off and then it tapers down - infact i always leave the traffic behind, everytime i take off from red light changing to green and i have noted it more than a few times ... may be its your tyre upgrade!! Cant say. However you that go for a throttle controller to correct that situation... Hope this helps, good luck 👍
After putting in a lot of efforts in researching about this vehicle for almost 4 months, I have recently booked Alpha MT in Buish Black. Now after watching this review, i feel i have made a right choice! Thank you so much Sir, for a most realistic, unbiased review on Jimny. Honestly, the best one i have watched till date. (Watching this video a bit early could have saved me lot of time and efforts and of course a tons of my data pack 😀)
I am so happy to see your comments and feel great that i could help you with the decision making 😊. Haha … you couldn’t have seen this video earlier, I just posted it 48 hours ago only, many thanks for watching. Congrats on your Jimny! What are you planning to call it?
Nice review of a versatile car..! Waiting for my Jimny, will remove the JIMNY badg and replace with GYPSY for obvious nostalgic reasons.. BTW I like the choice of music you have..Eye of the Tiger..!!
Congratulations on yours! The gypsy has a cult following in India, a lot of people were expecting that it will still be called Gypsy in this new avatar..thank you for your kind words, appreciate it! Cheers 🍻
Please do not stop reviewing cars. Far better than todays pseudo car journalists

I have bought a jimny too recently when Maruti Suzuki offered discounts in December. My variant is Alpha MT kinetic yellow dual tone. I've driven it around 2.2k kms and this is what I feel about this car:-
Pros:
1. Very capable off roader. Earlier I was driving 4x2 where sometimes I had to struggle during off roading but off roading in jimny feels way way easier.
2. Compact car. Maneuvering on narrow roads not an issue.
3. Suspension is really good.
4. Body roll over is almost non-existent.
5. Less road presence makes your car look different and with some modifications, people will keep checking out your car.
6. Boot space is adequate. U can put sufficient luggage if u want to go on a trip.
7. Five door system makes it highly practical. Ones who have used 3 door system on gpysy and thar would understand how tedious and uncomfortable it is to sit in the rear seats. Due to this reason, jimny can actually be used as a primary car.
8. Best 4x4 at this price.
Cons:
1. Rear seat belt alarm is annoying.
2. Gearbox is stiff initially and may take time to adjust.
3. Stock tyres and the front grill give a bad look to this car imo. Stock tyres are really thin. From the front, car looks like a toy due to this very reason. Upgrade if possible. Side profile of this car looks great though.

Thank you! what you said and also that the break-up is only visible to someone who is buying it otherwise everything is either bundled as ex-showroom and /or on the road! Cheers 👍
Amazing video and great knowledge sir hats off 👑🔥
Thanks a ton for you encouragement - truly appreciate it 😊
A very unique presentation on Jimny I had ever seen from an Indian RUclipsr. Great Piece of work sir & yes you busted a lot of myths which I had formed of this car after reading & watching the reviews. Keep up the good work. I would like to hear more about your first car the Fiat Uno if you could share.
Thanks a ton for your generous compliments, I am so happy to read your comments and to note that it made a difference!
Like I said the Uno story another day but I can tell you that it was a dream car for a diesel head, pure unadulterated driving pleasure, Fiat service was a big challenge though 😀. Cheers!
Excellent Review. By far the best, among all. Excellent effortless explanation of details and also keeping the broader picture in view. Best part was clearing out many myths. Jimny is an excellent car and someday will go for it. May name it the Ram.
Thank you so much for your kind words, really means a lot to a newbie like me! I wish you all the best and hope that you join this growing Jimny tribe soon 🙏🏽. Watch out for the sequel of my video coming out shortly ☺️
This is the most unbiased and detailed review of the Jimny on RUclips.
Thank you for the positive feedback, appreciate it 😊
What a superb video. I don't know what you do, but this is discovery tv level narration. Love the pace
Thank you, you made my day 😍. I am glad you liked it, keep watching 👍
Saw many videos on Jimmy. But this one I like the most 👍👍
Thank you so much, You comment has made my day 😊, Cheers! Hope you have seen the entire series of 4 videos so far!
My all doubts are cleared, thank you sir. Our bluish black jimny AT alpha is also on the way, pretty excited...
I am so glad to hear that i could help! Congratulations on your new ride, great choice - you life is about to become more exciting 😃
Superb video sir. I booked Kinetic yellow and finally change it for Bluish Black. I also having same filling of Crome on front grill which actually not required for black colour. My suggestion sir, if possible make Jimny group for us Indians to make some memorable trips. Thank you.👍
Thank you so much Bhavesh for the encouragement! Great choice of color 😉, there may be a Jimny group of us in the future, who knows? In the meantime Please watch out for the sequel of my video coming out shortly ☺️
I am one of those who wish to own one. You're honest review is very helpful for me as personally to have an informed decision on buying. Thanks a lot. We hope we'll have atleast a hybrid version coming up soon.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for reaching out, i wish you good luck for your future Jimny 👍
I was worried about lack of power.
Good. Since you drove a Mahindra and you feel that the Jimny does not lack power is encouraging.
I am waiting for my MT Alpha to arrive. After watching your review I am now less concerned about power. Great review. Liked your style..
Thanks for sharing - the best way to put it is that its not the strongest but it's not weak either - it's a happy car 😊 Thank you for your compliments. 👍
You bought Jimny?
Mine shall be called 'King Julien' (from the 'Madagascar' animated movies fame. Just love that quirky character - as so many people love this quirky little super capable car). I can't wait for mine. I did feel, though, during the test drive that the engine sound does come through pretty clearly at higher revs (maybe some sound deadening may help). The box shape will also result in wind noise. In your video too, when you were showing the 80 and 120 km/h beeps, felt/sounded loud. And the lack of door storage and the hand-rest is definitely an annoyance. But none of these would dissuade me.
Lovely name for this happy car indeed! You will pardon all the little shortcomings when you are sitting inside "King Julien", mark my words and do write back once it happens, good luck👍
A very simple honest review so far i came across. Thanks
I appreciate that! Keep watching and encouraging me 😊. Thank you.
Excellent review and very frank opinions. Thank you.
Many thanks for watching and for lovely feedback, cheers 👍
Great style Sir... Brilliantly covered aspects of this very capable Mountain Goat. Icing on Cake's top was the name you suggested is really 👌super. Suzuki sure needs to provide an Arm Rest! Bells and chimes can be better than that ancient beep!!! I used to like the Ford chimes. This car is a must buy as one can keep it for decades like our elders did with the Gypsy 🙏 My IBEX is on its way. 😊
So nice of you to say that, I am glad you liked! Congratulations on your IBEX, may this tribe continue to grow and for decades as you said 😀
I really liked your way how u kept this conversation unbiased and opened a way for the people who were in ambiguity whether or not to buy this marvellous invention
Thanks again 😊
12:40 The song is perfect for this car
👍
Your review can make anyone feel that we are actually listening to someone who know the soul of car.
Nowadays internet is filled with self claimed enthusiasts and car gurus who review less of a car more of a gizmo.
...and your comment can make anyone feel happy and elated 😊, thank you for the very kind words! Hope you saw the new one too. cheers👍
A very well-done review, straight to the point Thanks! 💯
Thank you so much for the compliments and the feedback, appreciate it 😊
Mark my words sir, This channel is gonna explode! Fab and unique review. Pls add more car reviews and DIY videos, all the best
You are really kind and generous with your comments and you have made my day - many thanks, truly appreciate it - a follow up Q&A review coming up shortly, please stay tuned - see i am taking your advice seriously 😊
Excellent review 👏 especially name suggestion for each jimny ❤❤
Thank you 😊, glad that you liked it, cheers 👍🏽
do not know if you are a journalist or now, but this video is such a great content. Hope to see more such content coming out from you. Love every bit of it, in fact could feel every bit of it
Thank you so much, its heart warming to read such glowing comments 😊. Not a journalist, but a passionate guy and i am overwhelmed to see this tremendous response and am motivated to do more stuff that folks like you value, thanks again and stay tuned for the sequel coming soon!
This is really nice no zang pang and as the name suggests it's really from a hands-on man ....
Will be eagerly awaiting more content on this channel
Thanks a ton! I promise you more coming soon, keep watching and talking. Cheers 👍
This is one of the best car review videos i have watched. Thanks sir.
Thank you, I am so glad you liked it 😀
Thanks for your review, I enjoyed a lot. Really it's wow car ❤
Glad you liked it! Its a brilliant car, it will take time but people will finally get it ... 😉. Thanks and Cheers!
beautiful review and very articulate.
Thank you so much, your comment made my day 😊 Hope you got the opportunity to see the other videos as well, appreciate the time taken to watch and comment, cheers!👍
Sir, I love your tone and command of the language, nice crisp No nonsense review 😍
Thank you so much for your kind comments, I try to do my best and am glad that you liked them, hope you have seen the follow up video released yesterday. Cheers 😊
I have spent 3 days with my new Jimny so far. Mine too Is bluish black alpha AT. I changed the tyres to continental 215/75/r15 at on the day one as I didn’t like the stock and couldn’t really trust on them for my kind of driving. The vehicle is certainly very comfortable for front 2 seaters, the rear ones may ask to stop for a while after 100 or 150 kms. Only one thing i miss is the throttle response that I used to get from the duster awd I sold.
Replied to your other comment, addressed all your queries😊
I'm getting my 5 door Jimny in June. Red color GLX Auto version. His name will be Charmeleon, from Pokemon japanese anime. Since Charmeleon is the second evolution of Charmander, it's perfect for the 5 door which pretty much is the second evolution from the 3 door version. And both are red as well, so I think is a perfect name. Thank you a lot for your reviews by the way, helped me a lot deciding to buy myself a 5 door Jimny! Greetings from Costa Rica mate!
Wow! Delighted to read your comment and the Charmeleon theory - I am aware about Charmander courtesy my kids, I wasn’t aware of it’s evolution into charmeleon 😃! Great choice of the car and name for it!
I am really happy to learn that my videos helped you make the decision to buy the 5-Door Jimny - you will certainly enjoy it!
Good luck and best wishes from India, cheers 👍🏽
What should I say...!!! People have commented enough about this man's reviewing style and his honesty and his personal take on the Jimny....I've been watching a lots of car reviews in years specially the famous ones on youtube, people know whom all I am referring too...After watching this man's reviewing style I can now feel how filmic most of the reviews are...Kindly do more car reviews...I'm sure you'll go places...All the best...!!!
Thank you for your glowing feedback, you have indeed made my day 😊. I am flattered. I am so glad that you enjoyed the reviews, also have made a very serious note of your advice...Thanks again👍
This is really nice no zang pang and as the name suggests its really from a hands on man ....
Will be eagerly awaiting more content on this channel
Thanks a ton, more coming soon 😊
Great video my friend. Greetings from Cyprus 🇨🇾
Namaste and equally warm greeting from India, my dear new friend from Cyprus!
Thank you so much for your compliments, appreciate it! Have you been able to watch the other 3 videos in the series so far? Check them out, cheers👍🏽
That's a good suggestion...naming your Jimny..never thought of it...btw,I changed my tyres to Yokohama 225 and I promise you the ride comfort on goes up big time..just finished 2500kms in 5 days in Rajasthan and it was makhan smooth
Glad you liked it, do share the name you finally come up with for your Jimny!
I really like the ride quality and handling on the stock tyres plus there are bound to be small issues around odo and speedo errors, road noise, fuel efficiency, steering response with any tyre change etc. I might consider a tyre upsize after I wear out this set… thanks and cheers 👍🏽
Excellent review with great narration
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching and for your encouragement, Cheers 😊
wow u are absolutly right! i was wondering y i liked jimmy but pple who are alone they really like this car small! and practical!
It's a great car both on road and off road - perfect for a small family that loves a li'l bit of adventure and needs a practical fun to drive car for the city 👍. Thank you for watching and your wonderful comments.
i subscribed you because of your english review. thankyou 🖤 hope to see this car soon in the Philippines
Thanks for the sub! Happy to help. I do hope that you get this car soon in Philippines, more the merrier 😊
Honest and thoughtful! All the words coming out of experience. Loved your take on the run in period, little does anyone know about it... keep up the good work...
And i liked your other videos as well, keep on posting the DIY stuff 👍🏼
Thank you so much for your compliments, truly appreciate them 😊. I will certainly act on your advice. Keep watching, cheers 👍
Excellent reviews for clarity
Glad you liked it, thanks you so much for sharing 😊
Dz was d best honest review of all... I've been following Jimny since 2017 or 2018.. Will buy in my next life 😢 Congrats 👏 👍
I appreciate that - thank you so much for your compliments! I know how that feels brother, please don't lose hope yet, this life is full of surprises, i am wishing you a future with a nice Jimny in it that is yours, cheers 😊
Great explanation 👌and I don't know about the car but this video is very interesting and I like this video I want to see better speed of the car ...I sure your explanation is amazing ❤
Glad you liked it! Hope you are now well informed about the Jimny, please keep watching the Channel, more interesting stuff coming soon. 😊
Great explanation on the pricing. Kudos to a great video.🙏
Glad you liked it, ya I always thought that pricing was a grey area in all the videos I saw, that could use some explaining, thanks and cheers!
Great review and great video...
Thank you so much for watching and your lovely comments, cheers 👍
It's a really great review, unlike other you tubers. Jimny really a good depiction of ibex and what like its design which has hints of past, freshness of present and still looks futuristic.
Couldn't agree more on your spot on observations of the Jimny - many thanks, appreciate it - a follow up Q&A review coming up shortly, please stay tuned👍🏻
11 minutes, You are right. What counts is the power to weight ratio. The Jimny is more than adequate
Exactly! Most people don't know this but the power to weight ratio for the Jimny and the Thar Petrol is exactly the same 😎, thanks for corroborating my findings, Cheers 👍
Superb and captivating unbiased review.The features are well explained.
I am driving XL6 since a year,Three irritants for me.Firstly,no Led indicators on doors, display panel like XUV.Secondly,connecting to Music System thru Blue Tooth or USB is a big struggle.Lastly,the Gear change display gets hidden behind the Steering,one has to bend forward to see the Gear.hope they have addressed these irritants in Jimny.
Thank you for your compliments - appreciate your saying that! I hear you, it's a struggle to understand how big car companies miss the simplest things sometimes! The XL6 otherwise i hear is a fun car to drive...On the Bluetooth connectivity, have you searched the web and seen is this a universal problem or something wrong with your car or your phone specifically, because the Bluetooth connection in the Jimny is just seamless! secondly, the steering column in the XL6 is adjustable both for tilt and reach, so you can adjust it to suit your height / sitting stance and you should be able to see the gear info without bending, look it up, if you are not aware of it. Let me know if any of this helped. Cheers and good luck! 👍
Wow! Wow! What were these 21 minutes of watch like? Completely blown away by the way Jimmy was presented to the viewer, to me! And how was the video ended! God! Inspiring! And the creative touch: name your Jimmy. It was a struggle for me to think of a name if I happen to own one. BTW, what should I call my little toy, Brio in my garage! I don't know. Anyways, enjoyed every bit of it...never have I seen any review of this kind....you're in a different league. 😊
Haha...many thanks... i like your style too, you really know how to give compliments. I truly appreciate your comments. The Brio is a cute & capable car, let's call yours "Khargosh" 😊. Let me know what you think of it. Keep watching and engaging, cheers 👍
@handsonwithbabbar your comment makes it a perfect handshake now. Khargosh? Really! But yes, it sounds quite apt for Brio. Honda probably adopts fish philosophy. Honda makes most of its cars, if not all, as smooth gliding over the road as fish experiencing fluid freedom in the ocean. And the quickness and freedom of rabbits is no different. Anyways, the presentation, the quality of content, the analysis, observations and finally the pouring of the creativity touches all along the video, let me repeat my emotions, makes the video a perfect recipe for others to pick from and emulate. You've a gift, sir!
I am honored!
your honesty is appreciated
Thank you! Appreciate your comment and encouragement 👍🏽
Amazing view ❤and nice explanation. ...
Thanks a lot, i am so glad you liked it. Cheers. 😊
Nice review. It's helpful
Glad to hear that, thank you so much, cheers 😊
one of the best review of jimny till date hatts off to you sir 🙏
subscribed 😊
Thanks a ton for your kind words my friend and subscribing, cheers 🍻
Loved your comment "Irrational logic of NGT and Mouthful for the lawmakers" 😆
Thank you, brother, it came straight from the heart 😜
Cheers👍
Sir, thank you for this review and other videos on the Jimny. I'm purchasing one this week, and I was starting to think I was making a mistake by choosing the Jimny as my first car, due to the opinions of self-proclaimed auto experts on RUclips. However, I fell in love with the car during the test drive, and I'm a huge fan of the Gypsy. Now, after watching this video, I'm buying the Jimny with full confidence and a clear heart.🫂
Congratulations on making this decision and you wouldn’t regret it!
It makes a great primary car for a family of 4 and it outsmarts most other cars in the city driving too - potholes, narrow lanes, tight parking spaces, water logged roads etc etc are all a breeze for it plus you really enjoy driving it too .. good luck 👍🏼
wonder full and informative review, agree with all the details. beep can stooped for infotainment system in setting.. the car is crazy and wonderful, will recommend going for AT 235/75/R15 the tires are made for Jimny and help in better highway and off road control
Thank you so much for you kind words, appreciate it! Ya, figured out silencing the beeps in system settings. I am firm on staying with the stock tyres - the Bridgestone Duelers, its currently shod in, are amazing tyres in all respects. Thanks again, Cheers 👍
Fan ho gaya paaji aapke review ka, c u soon with both our Ibex in Himalayans
Thank you, brother, for your appreciation...who knows, we may meet soon. Cheers. 😊
Brutal & honest! 🤘
Thanks so much for appreciating it, cheers 😊
I’m going to preorder one, they look amazing. Thanks for the great video
Thanks for saying that!
Great decision, you wil have a great time with it too 😊
Loved your crisp matured review..Thanks. Looks like soon a Jymny will be home.
Hope your Jimny is home already … thanks you for your lovely and generous compliments, appreciate it 😊
Great review. Very sensible.
Ibex is an apt name.
System sounds volume can be turned down in settings on touch screen. And system beeps can be switched off.
May be you can disable Auto start / stop engine feature in the hidden system settings on the dashboard. Check user manual.
If you use Auto light function then you don’t need to worry about DRLs & headlights. I think DRL should always be on by default - unless they have given to option to disable that for use in jungles.
Many of the features are similar to Brezza / Urban Cruiser.
Happy driving ! I think I will book one after watching your review.
You booking a Jimny after seeing my review is the best compliment I can get! Thank you for your kind compliments and also sharing your knowledge on Maruti cars - I did figure out the Volume beeps silencing in settings & also read in the Owner's manual that you can disable start stop in settings but haven't found that yet, DRLs are still a mystery 😊 Thanks again, Cheers 👍
A good review, Ritesh!
Thank you so much, appreciate it 😊
jimny is super fantastic car. i am so happy that 4-door version is available. but they need to make it available for wide range of countries worldwide.
I think it's coming to more countries sooner than later, they have the capacities here so i think it's just a matter of time! Out of curiosity, where are you located? Thank you for your engagement and for watching, cheers 👍
@@handsonwithbabbar eastern europe.
@@johnreno8909 I hope you are away from the war, keep safe, good luck & God bless 👍🏽
@@handsonwithbabbar thnxs appreciated.
Nice video, explaing about tyres was useful. I have named my Jimny as FREEDOM.freedom to go anywhere.
Right on! Lovely name too, wish you many happy miles on the FREEDOM! What color and spec is it? Watch out for the sequel to the video, coming soon 😊
@@handsonwithbabbar
Red,Zeta Manual.
Need some tips for offroading. Word about traction control and 4H&4L. No manual from Maruti side.
You can download or get a pdf copy of the Jimny Owner's Manual from Nexa - just ask them. 👍
After your review. I'm feeling more confident to buy this as my new primary car. Dehradun reviewers were more likely to blind fan of thar.
I would definitely name my Jimny "Ounce" a Snow Leopard.
It is a very capable and enjoyable Primary car, for a family of 4 or less, go for it! Lovely name, very apt 😊
I have spent 3 days with my new Jimny so far. Mine too Is bluish black alpha AT. I changed the tyres to continental 215/75/r15 at on the day one as I didn’t like the stock and couldn’t really trust on them for my kind of driving. The vehicle is certainly very comfortable for front 2 seaters, the rear ones may ask to stop for a while after 100 or 150 kms. Only one thing i miss is the throttle response that I used to get from the duster awd I sold.
Am planning to replace the rear seat with 2 captain seats and make it a full 4 seaters after 1st or 2nd service. Please share your opinions
Congratulations of your new Jimny!
You are right, the rear seats may be a challenge for long drives! If you do need 4 functional seats frequently, then it would make sense to go for the Captain seats assuming you will not miss the folding feature of the current rear seats for a bigger boot space when you need it as the captain seats are unlikely to have that flexibility. I would however be very interested in finding out how that works and if you do plan to execute it, you can let me know in advance through my YT mail turbobubdiy@gmail.com and maybe we can even make a video ;) who knows!
My experience with the throttle response has been that, its really quick when you take off and then it tapers down - infact i always leave the traffic behind, everytime i take off from red light changing to green and i have noted it more than a few times ... may be its your tyre upgrade!! Cant say. However you that go for a throttle controller to correct that situation...
Hope this helps, good luck 👍
Awesome review, Sir.
Thank you sir, appreciate the feedback 😀
Thank you for such an amazing review! This is my dreamed car ❤ Greatings from 🇨🇴Colombia
Namaste from India and thank you so much for your generous compliments, appreciate it! Wish you get your Jimny soon 😊.
Best jimny review so far.. So practical, loud n clear.
Glad it was helpful! You comments mean a lot, a follow up Q&A review coming up shortly, stay tuned, many thanks 😊
And yes without any hesitation I have subscribed to this channel....
Thanks so much for the sub 👍
Great video, nice name !
I'd call my Jimny , "Vagabond " 😃
Very useful information
In good simple language
Thank you ☺️, appreciate the feedback and i am so glad that you found it useful 👍🏼
After putting in a lot of efforts in researching about this vehicle for almost 4 months, I have recently booked Alpha MT in Buish Black. Now after watching this review, i feel i have made a right choice!
Thank you so much Sir, for a most realistic, unbiased review on Jimny. Honestly, the best one i have watched till date.
(Watching this video a bit early could have saved me lot of time and efforts and of course a tons of my data pack 😀)
I am so happy to see your comments and feel great that i could help you with the decision making 😊. Haha … you couldn’t have seen this video earlier, I just posted it 48 hours ago only, many thanks for watching. Congrats on your Jimny! What are you planning to call it?
My favourite part is your closing remarks. Keep at it sir!
Thank you so much but I do hope you benefited from the video content too 😅
Very good video, i had almost decided not to buy a Jimny, now i'll rethink. thank you for very detailed explanation, god bless
Thank you for your generous comments, I am so glad that my videos have helped you😊. Wish you good luck, cheers 👍🏽
Nice review of a versatile car..!
Waiting for my Jimny, will remove the JIMNY badg and replace with GYPSY for obvious nostalgic reasons..
BTW I like the choice of music you have..Eye of the Tiger..!!
Congratulations on yours! The gypsy has a cult following in India, a lot of people were expecting that it will still be called Gypsy in this new avatar..thank you for your kind words, appreciate it! Cheers 🍻
It’s good to watch ☺️
Thank you ☺️
I have a similar view on tyres. In person i found the tyres to be good sized. These tyres I feel will work well as overlanding tyres. Pizzacutters.
Totally agree, I am going to keep running on the first set of stock tyres and see later! Love the name Pizzacutters, nice, good luck with yours 👍🏻
