Just got the 2022 version a month ago, and have used it as my primary commuting vehicle. Absolutely love it, and do not regret buying it despite the shortcomings of speed in highways. Also, the elbow out the window thing is a total vibe, it's the only way I've been driving so far!
@@sherwinh1661 Yes it will. That short wheelbase gives the Jimny a very small turning circle that makes parking a breeze. Plus it will be a conversation piece with every potential client that sees the vehicle. Only if your job entails driving on the highway at speed for long distances does it become a negative to drive a Jimny.
@@ash9x9 According to cars-data it is 9.8 metres though it feels less to me since I turn 180° around in a standard road without any 3-point turns. An indication of the small turning ration is this video of a Jimny doing doughnuts. ruclips.net/video/8k3rcBd0sR8/видео.html
For those with a few extra bucks to spend, adding a supercharger would boost the power/torque by 30%. For the body roll issue, replacing the suspension with the ARB suspension set would help a lot! You may also want to add anti-roll bars to the front and rear.
I love your review and wholeheartedly agree with your findings. I got my first Jimny in 1980. Replaced it in 1990 and again in 2005. You could call me a fanboy, and I admit loving this little marvel to bits. I used to live on a small Tasmanian Island, so driving long distances was never an issue. My off-roading consisted only with dirt roads and beach travel. I can recommend the Jimny to anyone loving small cars. All three were absolutely reliable, and I had never any problems. I live now in the city, still have my Jimny and would not hesitate to get another Jimny. However, being now 77 years, I would buy an automatic one!
Wow 40+ years of Jimny ownership! That's true commitment haha. I love the look of the older models but wouldn't want to give up the modern amenities now.
The older models did have some advantages, like windows you wind without power and the rear side windows could be slightly opened. However, my first and second one looked very similar to the new one without the mod cons... cheers@@thehardshift
Thanks for video ... exactly what i wanted to know 👍 ... as i'll be using it 99% urban use so why buy a capable off-roader? am i wasting my money? not making full use of it? .... well these are my main points ... 1. sit high is safer - better visibility of traffic ahead that suddenly stops (more delivery riders on motorcycles and more cyclists due to covid-19 - many inexperienced) 2. it looks like a classic - will not be dated in 5/15 years time nor need to have an up-graded model in 2 years time. plan to be long term keeper. 3. basic engine/transmission/suspension tech - means easier to maintain & repair. more tech & sensors = $$$ when they don't work 4. fun - the quirks make it a more engaging driving experience ... cheers
@@thehardshift ls the transmission on yours noisy? ie does it wine? on my manual version it is quite noticeable, even more so in low range, my Defender 90 Td5 didn't seem so bad but that could be because the sound proofing on the Defender wasn't good.
@@clooperman3745 there is a faint whine, you can hear it some of the driving segments in this video if you listen for it. It's not to the point where I've really noticed it and thought it to be a problem over wind/road noise though.
Hi MrPelican, you might have read my earlier reply regarding my long Jimny ownership. My main use still is sedate country driving. I fully applaud your point 1 regarding visibility, I just don't understand the modern trend to make side and rear windows smaller and smaller. It looks like the little Jimny is the last one in its class. Cheers
Good fair review. I test drove a manual Jimny a few weeks ago and thought it drove pretty well in quite windy conditions. As you said it’s relative to what you’re used to. I’m driving a 24 year old Mazda sp20 familia with 409000km so the Jimny is a step up. I thought it was pretty quiet also. The only issue is the small boot space and somewhat underpowered engine. Still deciding if I want it. Prices of used ones are coming down here in NZ.
If you use it for on road and long commutes Just go for full car soundproofing and insulation. Install old man emu suspension and tough dog steering damper to reduce the body roll by around 70%
Awesome , your review make me feel how to drive new jimny....thanks, I'm driving a 30 year jimny long 5 doors, long wheel base, from indonesian karoseri Corsica alexander, the ultimate fun is he has panoramic roof, still in good condition until now, I use my jimny as my daily car, I'm so exciting to drive my jimny👍🏻
Nice one. In next few months we’ll have the 5 door version on the roads here in India, 100 kgs heavier in comparison to the the 3 door and a longer wheelbase. Sadly the 3 door was not planned for the local market though it is manufactured, here, for export.
Nice review, I stay in South Africa and these are so available here and I’ve been considering buying this as a second car. Thank you for this review. 🙏🏽
Hi Mpho..have you bought the second hand Suzuki Jimny yet? If yes, please tag me along to your next off road adventure. I will bring along my 4×4 Renault Duster.
Mines fully modded for off-road, I thought it was interesting your comment on the ease of having driver window down and at the right level for arm rest. I’d never thought of that before, but since day one, I’ve always had the window down, it’s so comfortable armrest. Good review, even though I’m pretty familiar with it being owner for 2 years, still interesting to hear others opinions, 😊👍
I've mostly owned sports cars and sedans prior and with these being lower, my arm is on an angle upwards on the window. I really noticed the difference with the Jimny haha.
You can improve the body roll, stability and general handling by installing a set of wheel spacers that will extend the wheels to the width of standard vehicles. An automatic gearbox does hunt for gears while at speed though it is a great advantage with off-road handling and driving.
Hey Mate nice video I have the same Jimny Jungle green Auto. There is a fix for having no intermittent wipers you can buy a wiper stalk from a beleano from the wreckers that has the intermittent setting and it fits in the same as the jimny one direct bolt on. As for power I don’t have any issues with that anymore I have a turbo fitted to mine makes over taking much easier I do agree an extra ratio would be nice for highway driving.
Very interesting about the wipers.. I'll start looking around. Awesome that you got the turbo installed. I'd love to check one out one day! What did you use for engine management and tuning?
@@thehardshift I got my kit form AVO turbo world and sent my ecu to Japan to get tuned so still running stock ECU there is an option to run a motoec engine management but that would have bumped the price a bit
Thank you. Very informative. You saved my money. I decided not to buy the Jimny after watching this. Subscribed to your channel and hit the bell icon. Keep going!
@@RyanCaravana considered it many times haha. I've heard it's about $3k NZ for the OME lift installed. My concern is I think that the wheels look too small once you lift, so then you buy new rims and tires, which is more $$. Larger wheels and tires can reduce fuel economy too. You will also void your warranty for suspension. So it's a bit of a commitment. I have heard you can just change the springs with no lift and achieve similar handling improvements though.
@@thehardshift ohhh got it. Yeah I see what you mean re: the wheels . The one that I test drove the other day @ suzuki had tyre upgrade from stock to a set of bigger cooper discoverer ATR, it felt ok on the motorway and it was a slighlty windy day in Wellington. I might just skip the OME and get a tyre upgrade. Waiting time in NZ is now 9 months! Its like having a baby haha.
Hi, will be picking up a jimny this week and wanted to know if you are happy with the green colour and if you had a second choice on colour, what will you recommend. Green is my first choice and black is the second
Very happy with green and would go again. I wouldn't go black because I park outside so get very hot in summer + black harder to keep looking clean. Black looks very cool though and may have better resale value, along with white. I wish I got the front of the car ppf'd as new though, got lots of small stone chips now.
@@thehardshift thanks for quick response. Going green then 👍 Almost went for black, however a black car, black interior combo isn't a good combination. Thanks
Hello . I am planning to purchase Jimmny 5 door /2023 . I plan to use more on highway /not offrad . I like this Car due to It's design . - Do you think its safe to drive 140 km/h on highway with Jimmny ? - Thank you for reply in advance
Hey, this car is not suitable for 140km speed. The engine will struggle to even hold that speed (particularly being heaver with 5 doors) and the suspension is not set up to be stable at higher speeds.
Thank you for the very informative video, I’m looking to buy this for my first car, I live in Tokyo Japan, I will be using it mostly for city driving and commuting to my wife’s hometown in the countryside occasionally and transporting my cat safely. I’m not a confident driver and I’ve never owned a car before, mostly driving in my parents car back in the UK. Would you recommend this car for basically a beginner driver with little confidence? Thank you
Yes, I would recommend it for a beginner driver. It's small. Easy to park and maneuver. Tires are thick so you don't have to worry about damaging them on the curb. Also sitting up high gives you good visibility and will help with driving confidence. Get the car and practice in low traffic environments (early morning/late night), you'll be a great driver in no time. It will start to feel very natural very quickly to you.
I'm guessing you're in Australia.. I have heard the lead times are rough over there. My wait time was 4.5 months but it wasn't too bad as it's only a $1k deposit and didn't need to pay the rest until I picked it up.
It's basically a jeep (general purpose) vehicle designed for practical use, so you sacrifice some comfort for the price. If you have the money you buy a G wagon.Life is all about compromising.
@@spring9603 If you're a similar build to me (leg/torso ratio) then I think you'll be fine. I've had 2 taller people (6'4+) in the passenger seat and head room hasn't been a problem. Comments that it's not very wide are more common, but that's the nature of the car!
This video is very helpful. You told that while the car is crusing at 100 km/h the engine rpm is 3000. Can you please tell me what is the rpm while crusing 80km/h and 90km/h? Thank you very much.
It works as expected and keeps the car sufficiently cool. I occasionally find myself closing the front right vent as it can make my hand on the steering wheel too cold.
Smooth road test is useless on solid axles Jimny. Try to find uneven and chock full pothole road and you going to find the Jimny hops and skips all over the road. Lack of cup holders for both driver and passenger annoyed you, then don’t get Jimny! If you find the chair lack support, don’t get the Jimny as it going to punishing your back on long ride, the soft suspension will make body roll more pronounced. Stiffer coils and shocks will make Jimny bucking like rabbit so stay away from this if you easily get car sick.
@@thehardshift Thank you 🙏 Your review was good. Subscriber Suggestion: Try showing night time driving features for Jimny in urban & off-road areas. 👍🏽
@@djr3386 Thanks for the suggestion. I recorded some footage showing how the automatic high beams work on the open road for this video but the footage from the GoPro was a bit average so left it out. Need a better camera! Some urban night shots would have been cool though. Wish I thought of that.
Thanks for the insight, I have ordered a manual one and now doing research on the pros and cons, I was a bit iffy on the body roll, however I think it will be fine after your video.
This car is design for people who looking for a cheap affordable small off-road car … now if you’re a fast car guy you have your option you can buy BMW audi Volkswagen or any type of fast car …
I am sorry but in 2021 you are getting a 4 speed auto must be a bad joke even Chinese proper suv like jmc Great Wall Beijing auto are provide 8 speed zf at less than 30k usd also India Mahaindra thar also provide 6 speed auto for 25k usd I think suzuki has gone down a lot
It depends on what your needs are. I live on a very small island and there are no major freeways, and i rarely need to drive in between 80-100 kph. this seems like that perfect car for me, cant wait to get my hands on one.
The way you look down on Suzuki is spectacular, considering the reliability of the transmissions of the models you mentioned are yet to be proved and thar has already shown some reliability/quality issues
