Did i miss something? 😅🙈
What's your opinion , Jimny owner or not.
The months heading up to my July delivery date are going to feel like forever. Ordering a front bull bar and snorkel. And there is a very simple solution to not using so much gas. Stop PLANTING YOU FOOT SO MUCH. It is a 1.5L Inline 4, yes they can rev, but you have been doing it since you got it and you should have been taking it easy on the BRAND NEW ENGINE for the first 1000kms to drive it in porperly. I promise if you started taking it easier on the wee car, you should get the fuel use down to at 6.5 to 7L/Km. As a helpful hint, even though it is brand new, might pay to check the mechanical bit just to make sure all the thrashing you have been doing hasn't damaged anything as a precaution.
It is a bit funny though, all the things you have mentioned are some of the reasons im getting one. I like simple cars, less to go wrong. I actually asked the sales woman if it was at all possible to get manual window winders 🤣
@@TobyRay45 garage said first 3-500km ride it normal and after that it's no problem. I just floor it for my videos. Don't do that on daily driving 😁. Pretty sure that Japanese engine is build to last 😊👌. Enjoy yours to , they are a ton of fun!
@@LifeofSmokey yea I wasn't sure if it was your norm or not. But yea, I would generally drive it in up to 1000kms to give the block a decent time to settle.
As for mine, it sucks because again, July is when it will be here 🥲
One life so why spend it fixing Land Rovers. Yes I'm a long time Jimny owner 👍😜
@@madfrank7972 hahaha 😂😂😂
I personally love how there isn’t a lot of tech. Makes it simple and reliable
Same here 😁👌
Agreed, but it was only coming out in manual and I can't be Arsed changing gears anymore.
I like how my old Jimny doesn't tell me it needs servicing but I don't like how its really rusty.
It's fine if a car doesn't come with many electronics. What isn't fine is charging consumers the same price as a car that DOES have electronics.
This new Jimny probably costs next to nothing for Suzuki to produce, yet they are charging a fortune for what it actually is.
A cheap asian jeep. Thats it.
@@genericgymvlogsph9739 Yeah it's quite frustrating! If it wasn't for the supply issues (deliberate or otherwise) they'd be going for much cheaper than they are currently. At the asking price of 30,000aud, or realistically 40,000 if you want one in the next 12 months, it's not value.
'Biggest complaints about small 4x4, it's not a huge 4x4'. Suzuki, if you're reading this, please don't change the Jimny to be a big fat, overweight, over complicated beast of burden, us owners like the simple rugged dual solid axle, light weight machines they are.
RIGHT! The "Costco" Suburban crowd already have their hideous minivans or plus-sized SUV!
Jimney 5 Door is coming
It will be more than 4 meters
It will launch in India
@@Blitzkers99 already launched few days ago in India
@Kaustav DIY I wonder when it will be brought to kenya or how can get it myself?
@@mozi3051 Import from Japan itself 😅
I love my Jimny, it taught me how to live simple, nothing to fancy about it. That's what makes it special
I couldn't agree more! 😁👌
AMEN! I am bright, a great driver, cameras, all that assistance just creates more dummies with no skills.
The fact is you stuffed your Suzuki Jimny. Changed the tyres, overloaded the roof, lose the rack and awning, you increased wind resistance, turned off factory safety controls and drove too fast on the highway. The 4WD Buggy winch is a good idea as are max tracks, carried on the spare wheel. A long range fuel tank would be a good extra. Keep the extra fuel down low and out of the cabin. definitely not on the roof.
The original WW2 Jeeps topped out at 55 Miles per hour or or 90 Kilometres Per Hour. The cruising speed was lower 45 MPH or 70 KPH.
The Suzuki Jeep is an off road vehicle. Drive it at 45 MPH and see how sweet it is,
And it has 3 rear view mirrors, don't overload the back.
A very versatile farm vehicle. Drive around the paddocks 5 days a week, into town to shop on Saturday and the Missus can drive you to church on Sunday. I love 'em, Jimnys not the Missus.
all have their pro's and con's. I downsized from a '95 Toyota hilux Surf, to a Jimny. I now carry more junk & recovery gear in it than before, AND LOVE IT. Half the size...twice the fun
The interior of the Jimny was not intended / designed to be a dining room, so if you want to eat, get out of it, preferably whilst it is stationary. 😍😍
Agree haha :-)
Hahaha nice one
The best thing you get from a jimny is the smile on your face when drop her in four wheel drive & go out for a play when it snows . Then theres the sure Ultra reliability of Suzuki , easy to fix d.i.y . Easy to personalize your way . & The gen 3 was around 20yrs says a lot
Couldn't agree more 😁👌
Back in the 90's I had a Suzuki Jimmy pickup ,I mostly used it on our sugar cane plantation in Fiji. It was almost indestructible, it was a manual transmission with high and low range gears, we used to drive it off road and mountain terrain it was a great vehicle

In a Jimny you have adventures, not car trips! Btw, my standard Jimny’s fuel consumption is 6.9l/100km. All the other things are true, but I like to think of them as adding character rather than subtracting space/tefinement/performance etc…😁 I shouldn’t, but I love it to bits!
Totally agree 😂. There is more than those 10 things i just said. But the total character of a Jimny is just perfect ❤️
Thanks for providing your exact consumption! Is that highway, city, or mixed?
@@shawngall7846 mixed just driving around town and offroad. Highway it's about the same
That fuel consumption is the same as I get from my 2 litre SX4!
@@LifeofSmokey This vlogger’s bad fuel economy probably has to do with it being closer 4000 RPM most of the time instead 2500 RPM because the engine doesn’t have enough power for the heavier tires so it presumably upshifts more often.
No electronics wow I already love it
less electronics means more reliability
for the most part you mentioned stuff that i don't want in a Jimny... infotaiment, rearview cameras, and electronic gizmos are not my cup of tea... you will be glad of not having them in ten years(or less) when they start to fails...love the setup by the way, with those tires looks awesome...
Same here , don't hate my jimny but i love it in every way 😁. Less electronics is less fuss in the future and way more fun to drive in my opinion.
Simple means it will live forever 💯
Word! I have an auto glx..everything you say it’s true..and I wouldn’t change it fir the world 🙈 I love every bit of it 💜
I just bought my jimny a month ago and i love it 🤷🏻♀️
Congrats!! Plans on tuning it? 😅
Perú? Can you please tell me what is the wait time if you order one there?
Canadian here. Restoring my 1995 Suzuki Sidekick...
Please please please bring the Jimny to North America.
Another one came to mind today. The windscreen washer nozzles spray these hard 1 line jets , should be spraying it all over the place 😂🙈
My wife has a Jimmy and we love it’s simplicity. I fix broken pointless tech all the time so am glad not to have it here. 🙏🏻
I don't have a Jimny but just love it, and your video as well! Thank you!
Thank you , appreciate that 😁👌
Me and wife had a lil Suzuki Side Kick, 4 door 5 speed, we called it our lil Goat, not sure vehicles can have emotions, but we swore up and down she seemed so happy in the snow😟 Love the Jimni, wish we’d got it in the US
a simple interior redesign with more storage space and better cupholders, something like the Wrangler, would make this thing a 10/10 vehicle for me. maybe a carpeted cargo area too so my grocers don't go flying everywhere
Oh lordy...I have test driven the car three times, hate the weaselly engine, no speed, no toque, noise and terribly high 5th gear...so I ordered one in Jungle Green :) I've seen the turbo kits....Smokey, when are you going to sniff a Jimny turbo kit???
I asked Suzuki to send me the price of a complete new engine. So i can have that one forged and tuned to like 300hp or something without killing the original engine. But no price so far 😂. Or maybe a simple 200hp kit this summer not really sure yet what i'm gonna do with it. It's getting really REALLY expensive 🙈🤷♂️
Your comment really made me laugh 😂😂😂
The crazy thing is that even with a supercharger or turbo this thing would still feel lame 😂 so lame this engine is. Honda f22c would be my dream in a jimny.
I love my Jimny.i bought it new 18 months ago. I use it mostly for going into the forest etc to plant out trees I grow from seed. It’s good in snow, mud, sand etc.
I’m happy with the fuel consumption. If you fit it out with big, chunky off road tyres etc your fuel costs will rise . I use hybrid tyres. Ideal
If you’re wanting something to do what a land rover does , buy a land rover . But the Suzuki Jimny is ideal for my purposes.
I think something like the Jimny is a perfect car for hunters or other people who really have to drive into the forest during hunting season etc. It's not fun to do this with a big fat overloaded G-class. I'd always be afraid to get a scratch into the expensive Mercedes. Instead with a Jimny, you get shit done.
Hunters or Shooters? where do you put the meat on the way home?
I make 7.2/100 km in mine. Stock tyres.
Approx. 42mpg
You could just harden up Dude, Jimny's rock!
Best car i ever owned 😁. Don't really hate anything about it. The total package is awesome 😎
At 1050 kgs it has a big advantage over the heavy 2 ton suv's n ute . When offroading , more weight is never an advantage
Try offroading with a G wagon and you'll take your words back 🙂
I owned a 1986 rag top Suzuki Samurai new, went thru a few Chicago snow storms, the truck just loves to eat snow, best truck I ever owned. When we had our first child we had to sell it for more of a family type car :-(. The Jimny is so Samurai in every way! Thanks.
I had an old Jimny and I loved it ok not the most comfortable or roomy of vehicles but man was it fun
It's just a vehicle. A simple vehicle. It works and isn't trying to be anything. Light off road vehicle.
Still have Dad's Suzuki LJ20V AKA Golden Nugget He bought in '73. It's much tinier than the new Jimny's but a real blast to drive. Planning to trade wife's Subaru Forester sometime soon for a Suzuki LJ80V and build a very streetable but modified machine for her. Samurai frame,axles and transfer case, 1.6 turbo,etc. If Suzuki brought the new Jimny's to the U.S. I might would just go that route instead o building her one though!
to make the story short..the little big jimny is awesome!😁😊👍
The main thing that keeps me away is the fuel usage. The "Official" is 6.4L/100 for the 2020 model, but in reality that is probably more like 7.5-8L/100, add on a lift and big tyres and you'll probably hit 10L/100 for a 1.5L engine, especially if you live in a country with garbage roads. It's alot considering I had a 2001 Mazda B2600 with the 2.6L Petrol that used 10-12L/100 with a leaking injnector and no exhaust pipe for a year.
I have a 2021 model and 6.4 is pretty doable, I managed to do better but it is tough. I am currently getting 7.7 in the city with sporty driving which is quite good
@@sergiusabo His bad fuel economy probably has to do with it being closer 4000 RPM most of the time instead 2500 RPM because the engine doesn’t have enough power for the heavier tires.
Thats not the best but id still rather choose this over a lada niva if were looking at fuel consumption, those thing eat standardly 12l and if u go heavy pff road 30 40l is to be expected
My only problem with my JB43 is that the aircon keeps failing every 4-5mos after repair...:(
That's the best part of Jimny, it sux in every category but still we love it!
😉😅🤗
It's so weird 😂
all the tech i need today is just bluetooth connectivity, and im a happy man. lols.
9.6L that converts to almost 24 mpg doesn't it? If that's the case that's awesome. I get 10 mpg in my jeep 🤣
Lol...it' pathetic for such a small car.i get 10.1in my 2.4 tonne prado
@@petersajkic6749 with the weight and size of the bigger tires, the non aerodynamics of the square body I think 24mpg is great. If they sold em here in the US I'd buy 2 lol
@@cwpitsenbarger3295 they only weight 1100 kg.so not so great really
@@petersajkic6749 dang 2500lbs, that is a changer. I'd figure it would weigh around 3500ish. Good strong wind would blow that over lol
Take all that crap off the roof and you'll see a big difference
Phantastic video, greetings from the land of humour!!!!🇩🇪
My Jimny Sierra comes with tech like auto hi beam headlights, but what I really want is adjustable interval wipers!
Slow as fuck and a heavy drinker. Thats the jimny. Expensive to buy, high taxes, high pollution no space, shitty suspension, low range, small tank, no 6th gear. Dangerous when wet and icy. But - due to no alternative i have one 😂
Just as i love my cars 😂👌
@@LifeofSmokey just finished my comment 😆
@@enolamns hahahaha love it 😂.
I live close to a very slippery roundabout , when i leave the house with the ESP off i know i'm gonna drift it 😅. The good part is that IF it goes wrong i can just drive over the roundabout 😂
@@LifeofSmokey thats when jimny shines 😎😆
rear view mirror standard in UK/France/Germany. Registration costs for 2 seat utility model nothing excessive and even modest in France. Agree consumption a little high. But you buy this 4 X 4 for its utility appeal. There is nothing really comparable.
my dad got a jimny today. i was able to drive around with it for about an hour. i can see why people love it. it is fun to drive.
but one of the first thing i notice is the lack of storage space LoLs theres that 2 cup holders. lolols.
it isnt a family car. 2 grown men can barely sit infront. LoLs. its kinda like sitting at an economy class w your friend, sharing a chair arm together. LoLs.
i then went home and got some parcels that i need to ship out. the storage space with the 2 seats folded down is pretty useless. lols.
fun factor is through the roof, however. and this is a lifestyle vehicle.
i wont give up my regular sized suv anytime for this. but yea i can see the appeal. i smile alot when i drive this car. i dont think i can ever say the same thing with my suv that you can see everywhere you turn. hahaha.
Hahahaa just my thoughts! There is so much wrong with it that it makes you smile for no reason. Enjoy it 😁👌
This actually sounds like my kind of vehicle. Just wish I could buy one here in the United States
Yeah hearing this a lot! Would be awesome if they go to the states one day....but Japan can't keep up with demand. Crazy 😅
Go to the Philippines !
@Irma Leon if you get caught it will get crushed by CBP you can cross it over but if you get pulled over its not legal
@Irma Leon i need to get mine Mexico sells a bunch of cars. We Don't get in the US like the Mercedes A45 AMG
@@Finestizpro if you are resident in Mexico you can plate one in Mexico then drive them in the USA.
had an opel tigra 1.6 1998 that had a fuel consumption 10L/100km city drive, then switched to Suzuki Swift 1.3 1996 with consumption of 6L/100km, loving the light weight cars with literally no electronics that Suzuki produces.
Even if the little one has a tendency to consume a little more of the high vol alcohol ( 😅😂 )...
I somehow trust the engine more to be an uncomplicated and solid ride companion, than any of the modern fuel efficient small turbocharged engines. Maybe i'm wrong....i'm no engineer...i just can't imagine the 1.5 engine to be a troublemaker....
Regular maintenance provided of course ☝🏼✌🏼
I’m waiting for the next version. I have a Suzuki Grand Vitara 3 -Door Auto and I love it!
I get 24mpg and love it and it's the 4 one I had ! Do want to turn off the traction control tho lol
I tested the new Jimny today and I agree with most of what you say. But you do infact have plenty of space to put your food, ofcourse not while driving. Up front on the dashboard there's plenty of space for chicken nuggets, sauces, burgers, really lots of food. Just don't leave it there when driving.
I currently drive a 2018 Qashqai, which has even more space for food up front. I'm considering swapping to the Jimny, but I think not still. Sadly several practical things stop me from it.
A Jimny is going back to basics and that's why i love it so much 😁.
@@LifeofSmokey In deed it does.
For the money that a Jimmy costs and a Jimmy can deliver off road , you are not going to be stuck with endless electrical issue . I once blue printed the engine on a Suzi Realto , we called it the Rocket skate , it was more fun than BMW M1 .
Have you considered change the axle ratios to compensate for the larger tires? Curious how it would effect the fuel economy.
Nope not at all 😊
The larger wheels affect the braking ability also. It needs a lot more distance to stop on the bigger tyres.
@@LifeofSmokey His bad fuel economy probably has to do with it being closer 4000 RPM most of the time instead 2500 RPM because the engine doesn’t have enough power for the heavier tires.
I once snatch recovered a stuck Jimny while driving a Land Cruiser Prado. I didn't consider reduced weight of the Jimny and gave er gas like I was recovering a heavy normal rig my size. I also expected the usual point of tension where my vehicle stops and I use power to pull it forward. Well lol, not only did the point of tension not so much as stop (or even slow down) my vehicle, but instead, according to onlookers, the Jimny launched forward, rear tires in the air first, then it tumbled down the uneven ground "like a cardboard box blowing in the wind", never settling on more than one tire at a time as I dragged it, until I stopped lol.
The rope I had was made to create extra tension, by stretching a bit, like an elastic, which creates extra energy to pull the stuck vehicle farther forward after the initial snatch, and they work great. Just not on lighter vehicles🤣
I absolutely love the Jimny, they are so cute! My one piece of advice for you is don't drive into a fast flowing deep river. It will not end well. Unless of course you are carrying oars, then please disregard this advice🤣
The only thing i hate about Jimny here in the Philippines, is the Price...
Its too damn expensive...
P1,200,000.00 pesos
Blame your government and the 50% markup on imports (except Bajaj motorcycles because they’re assembled locally to avail of a loophole). Sadly you all will never fight back against your government. Trust me I know, I lived there for 3 decades. You went from People Power right back to enslavement again under fake flu sickness.
I want one massively. Easily one of my favourite new vehicles and I absolutely hate that I cannot afford one.
I love little Suzuki's, but not the Jimny!
I've owned three SJ413 Samurai and still have a 1989 soft top which is my every day drive.
Although mine is only 1325cc, I can drive at 90KPH and do 110KPH at a push.
At my speeds I get around 11KPL.
I love low tech, it means I can fix most things myself!
The more electical junk you have, means more to go wrong!
Keep things simple SUZUKI.
If I was Suzuki, I'd put the 1600cc engine in a samurai (which people are doing).
I believe in "KISS"!
KEEP IT SIMPLE SUZUKI.
Still driving my mint 1994 Geo Tracker for a reason: 25-30mpg, amazing offroad ability, highway capable, spartan simplicity and absolutely reliable 🙂
Is that imperial mpg or American mpg? I now prefer to state L/100kms…
@@vincefairleigh6899 definitely US mpg numbers and prefers 87 octane. Fuel efficient for sure!
@@peijae1 very impressive, im so disappointed with all that is out there, too expensive, too many electronics, bad fuel economy… the last few times myself or my friends got stuck is because we forgot to turn off the traction control… what irony,lol. Traction control is pure garbage in my opinion.
I like how theres a $100 million dollar fighter jet flying around overhead, but this guys only got eyes for his Suzuki Jimny
Genial una visión simpática y cool del pequeño tanque. Saludos from Chile 🇨🇱
I dont see the no electronics as a bad thing.
Those analog gauges are going to work for a long time, replacing them will be cheap compared to if it was an LCD panel like all others are doing these days.
The Lite version does not have a back up camera, the higher end one does, it also has a better radio with apple car play and android auto.
I was disappointed that they didn't come to the US, but then again they already had more tech on them than I wanted. I loved my Samurai. The only tech was an AM/FM radio that really din't pick up either brand very well. But what did work very well, was the truck itself. Very simple, very basic, and about 26mpg. (Yea, not as great as I expected either, my Lada Nivia did about the same....)
You can buy one in Mexico if you are resident and drive in the USA.
Well. Gordon Murray, drives one as his winter vehicle so there must be a few good points....
Had a 5 door Vitara for many years. All the same little faults, but fun off road and so reliable!
My Mustang 5 litre V8 gets better economy than a Jimny
I got in a 1990 Suzuki samurai one time , my boss man had bought it. I like the newer ones like yours better, they look like a little Ford bronco.
Thanks for your honest review. Well noted...Back to my PRADO then...Cheers from NYC!
I also love my wife and she has a few things that irritate me as well, but I would not trade her for anything 😊
That's how I feel about the Jimny....and my wife also 😂👌
at 1050 kilograms, two men can esily lift it out of trouble, as I have done this, try that with a Toyota or Nissan at double the weight. Change your wheels, my Jimny gets 100klms for 7.7 litres, that is 2 trips (about $7.50 a trip) from home to Bundaberg and back. My neighbour has a wrangler it costs him over $15 per trip. My Jimny is a quiet ride, it aint no Mercedes or Luxury car BUT they cant get down and dirty. More Bare Metal is what we want in 4wds to control RUST. why do you want that crap info on little lcd screen? you only need the two guages in a Jimny. and if you worry about dust, dirt, mud and poop buy a volvo and dont go offroad. Brabus cant improve perfection. I agree about Food, so dont eat in the car.(or smoke). Smokey, you are just NOT a 4wd Man, unless you want to spend $hundreds of thousands and squeeze between trees, scrub and bushes off road, scratching a fat, but quiet can.
did you put something on the plastics of your Jimny it is like Line-X or something?
It's called bedliner of raptor liner yes. Bought it at 4x4deals.com , comes with paintgun and everything you need.
My Jimny is 24 years old, yours is far more high tech.
I still adore mine
Rear view camera??? You can reach out the window and touch anything behind you!!!
Those are actually facts! 😂 When i reach out to the back window inside i can almost touch it 😁
Getting a new Jimny soon, super excited ❤❤❤
How about audio system? Does the sound suck? I mean is there even decent bass sub sound?
The original audi is terrible 😁
Can't wait for the 4 doors version!
its out
The fact that this isn't sold in the USA makes me depressed.
Blame your stupid government..
No space for nuggets, fries, or coke? :) this vehicle cares for your health-gotta give it credit for that!
That's a very cool Jimny!✌️👍😊
l always loved our early Jimnys even with their quirks and fobbles. With the latest version, instead of taking it off of the UK market, why didn't they put in their SCross 1.0L, LP Turbo, 3 cylinder engine? That's a good unit, makes the - basically small SUV style estate car - SCross pretty lively, good and torquey and returns really good mpg too (not sure how long the motor or turbo will last, but hey it's a Suzuki, so probably a long time). Also some extra sound proofing etc? Perfect, small 4x4. I note on the new low spec Swift's though, they lack sound proofing too, come on Suzuki you're better than that😉✌️
Very capable off roaders and very liveable with on road, merely horses for courses 😉😊👍
Even on Eg the SCross with engine under trays, they get filthy, same through entire range from what I can tell - a nuisance at its worst, no biggy though.
They just know their N/A engines will never break down in a Jimny. A 1.0 turbo engine is most likely gonna have problems when the car is stuck and does some high revving 😅. Or maybe they had a couple more thousand 1.5 engines just laying around and it was cheaper 😅
@@LifeofSmokey Thanks for the reply, I understand that - good points 👍😉😊 We used to have a saying when I first started work - back in the day in the motor trade - 'turbos double the bhp and halve the engine life'. We'll see with our SCross, at least the turbo is easy to get at if it's just wear and tear, if it let's go? That's another matter, a stuffed engine. Yh Suzuki could have lots of 1.5 motors sat about but, as the SJ is so popular in the UK? Change the engine, get em sold. Of course the elephant in the room is the hype around climate change (and our cuckold, useless, treasonous woke govt.). Don't get me wrong, there is some carbon climate change going on, but the real climate change issues are being ignored. The love of money and greed are basically the drivers for the changes we're seeing Plus smug self entitleds driving Tesla's in the Cotswolds? A) The Lithium supply chain is filthy and dangerous B) To the best of my knowledge, there's no LiPo battery recycling facilities (ask Elon Musk he even approached our military). C) After a battery goes the car is virtually a write off. Hadn't some manufacturers gotten petrol burning so good, only water vapour came out of the exhaust? Then there is synthetic petrol and, HFC's. The new SJ has gotten caught in the cross fire and then the pandemic hit. The headlong rush towards electric power? Would have been okay if LiPo batteries weren't involved and Nikola Tesla's free energy had been adopted instead - tptb wouldn't like that though would they, free energy for everything on the planet. BTW his experiments were successful and repeatable. Without Nikola Tesla's there wouldn't be the modern electric age, Edison was a dunce by comparison 😉😊✌️
No extra taxes in France with the latest 2 seat utility model. Even 6 months old there is such demand here you can easily sell your Jimny for 30,000 euros. Not many like that on the market !
Jimny is iconic brilliant little car future classic for sure n won't lose a penny
I’m yet to find a reason not to love my Jimny
Ive got the 1997 Jimny (Samurai). Sadly, I get about 7km to a litre. Horrible going uphill. Goes about 60km/h on the uphill. Top speed of like 100km/h. Looking to get this new one
People this is to everyone!
Just don’t eat in your car. Just enjoy life
My most hated points: 1.The door alarm! Impossible to listen to music with the door open! 😤
2. The seatbelt alarm! Drive away without the seatbelt on, the alarm goes (logic)... drive slow, the alarm keeps going! Stop the car, the alarm keeps going! Get out of the freaking car, go grab a coffee while not even inside the car, THE ALARM IS STILL GOING!!! AAAAA
😂😂😂 yep all my other cars have keyless go so they never make a sound when i leave the door open. The Jimny is driving me nuts with that 🙈
@@LifeofSmokey Why the seatbelt alarm keeps going when you are outside is truly misprogramming since you have person sensor in all seats
@@CarChrisMC i hate it when the Jimny is beeping when i turn of the ignition but leave the key in and open my door. 🙈 For some reason i do that a lot so very soon i'm gonna go on a quest to find the beeping thing and cut it's wire! 😂
It’s a great vehicle that should be available everywhere in the world- alas some are stuck spending 1.5-2.5 times as much to get into a new vehicle that’s as off road capable.
Less bells and whistles the better! Wish they sold them in Canada!
I wish it was available in America. My only real option is a Jeep Wrangler. Yes, I know about the Bronco, but it's a Ford product and I don't buy Fords.
No tech is the dream... Although, why didn't you get the 4x4 option????
Brutally honest review…Gotta love that 😂
Yeah I hate your Jimny too! Now you can ship that to me and I'll sell it! 😆
Whats the size of the rim and the offset? Where can purchase it?
I wish there was an electric Suzuki Jimny or hybrid. Kind of a "normal" simple car but still to be loved. Do you think it is to hope for? 🙏🏼😊👋
Suzuki is working on a hybride Jimny yes :-)
WOW!!! Thank you! You made my day!
We also hate our Jimny... added a tough dog suspension.. hate it a bit less!!
As a single female, moving to the forest, I need a car to drive with muddy road? Is that better/simpler/cheaper than Ford pickup? I already have a car for nice weather.
This is perfect! 😌🙏
It's all true, but I'm so in love with mine...
Same 😂🙈 Was doing some offroad yesterday and had some mud on the front window. So i sprayed some water onto it and my buddy laughed so hard. It's like 2 jets of straight water. Not some kind of mist or more sprays like you have on most cars 😂
for us americans, the fuel consumptions about 24.5mpg. might not be great for the weight but that’s pretty good for combined mileage in a car you take off road with big ole mud tires. I wish we could get these in the States
That's absolutely awful for the size, I got 16-18 mpg (14-17L per 100) average in a 99 Suburban that weighs 3 times a Jimny and it also had slightly larger than stock tires, I could keep it around 20mpg/11.76L per 100 if it was all highway, but if I used a full tank (300L/79gal) in the city I might get 8-10mpg/27Lper 100. So yeah, at all highway it wasn't to bad but a Jimny would use way less fuel in start/stop traffic but the Burb was 20 years old, compared to a new vehicle.
@@frumsmcnoodles323 the jimny claims ~35mpg on pavement with stock tires. this guys dash is showing 24+ and he off roads it regularly. trail time will kill fuel consumption. another note, my 2004 suburban claimed 15 city. i bet it really got closer to 13.
back in early 90's my dad had a Suzuki and its like as simple as it is. it can run around the estate just fine. Simple.. so if you buy this and complain on this and that metal here there then this car is not for you. i have already bought one as i know that this car is worth and capable going offroad, just with newer features.
My Jimny 2016 A/T drinks 13 L/100km. My Hilux drinks 10L/100 km. My Jimny parks everywhere. My Hilux parks .... after I find the spot. :-) I have ordered new Jimny MY2019, After two years the gave me back my downpayment and said no more new Jimny...emisions. I bought Hilux and newer sell Jimny. So sell Jimny if you hate it. Buy G classe 4x4 squared. You will be wery happy!!!
Can ya do a top 10 on what ya love mate ? Also I reckon the dislikes on what you said although I don’t disagree with what you said I reckon it comes down to what you intend to do and those cons you listed such as the engine bay having no much going on is also a blessing for someone that wants to tinker without having all sorts of other crap in your way in my opinion but yeah good work mate love your vids bro 🤙
Januari 21st the Why I love My Jimny will come online , already made and planned it. I even believe i said that about the engine that it"s so easy to work on if needed 🙂. Love my Jimny for 200% haha
@@LifeofSmokey Had a Defender 90" Td5 before l got the new Jimny, the Jimny is more economical, around 38mpg, quieter outside and inside, and faster, and our 3 dogs prefer being in the Jimny, l can't complain except for the lack of torque and low range is too high meaning engine breaking is very poor!
@@clooperman3745 that's the first person i have ever seen that likes a Jimny more then a Defender 😁. Yeah the engine is kind off an issue sometimes. Would be cool if they put like a 1.6 16V Turbo with 150hp in it 😅
As an Offroad and tech enthusiast i would probably ruin that simple design within a few months ... Mass tech expansion that would totally not be necessary but thats just me ...
Also why dont you just install your own rear view camera you can even replace the mirror with a screen that shows... You know the rear wouldnt be supper hard and maybe do some fillers in the door to make it less bare metal...
Have you put more power to the engine or it’s not possible? Recommended?
Only exhaust and intake from Forge Motorsport. Make the Jimny breath in and out better. But it's an N/A car so mods are not gonna increase horsepower. The only way is a turbo 😉
🙄🙄🙄 Talk about first world problems. I bought a rebadged Suzuki Sierra (Holden Drover) rag top new back in the 80s. Thing was a great little beast and it spent more time off-road here in the Aussie bush than on tar. Never bothered with any of those things complained about in this video. Two things I will say going through Maccas drive through was never a big deal and you want to talk about fuel consumption all my cars including my modified Toyota Celica and my Holden SS Commodores got way more than your 9litres. 😂🤣😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I wish they sold these in the US!! I’d buy 2 of them!
