This looks more like a Defender than the new Defender.
It’s more like the original jeep than the new one.
Giggitee O'Yeah so much better than the American junk
The shape and the rear really reminds me of a mini version of Mercedes G Wagon. :)
lt's what Land Rover should have done with the Defender.
Why can't more manufacturers make small offloader suv's? Love it.
id rather have one of these instead of the Land Rover Pretender.
Land rover pretender 😂😂
You mean the new Defender, or the old one? l am guessing the new one, and l am of the same opinion.
I've got a 2020 Jimny and a 2005 Defender
I have this Jimny’s Grandpapa here in India…the Maruti Suzuki Gypsy. It is a veritable mountain goat. It is still sold in NZ as the Suzuki Farm Worker for use exclusively on farms and is not to be driven on the road. However the farm worker is a short wheelbase whereas the Gypsy in India is a slightly longer wheelbase. Because the Gypsy in India has been for 35-36 years, the preferred light transport and quick deployment go anywhere vehicle for our Armed Forces and Police and Forest Services etc.
Still relevant
Do it Andrew. Build a Jimny offroad tourer with a tear drop trailer
trailer??? how much jimny towing capacity?
@@enjoymusic4895 wouldn't be much. Hence a tear drop trailer. Google it.
@@enjoymusic4895 According to the German Suzuki website it can tow up to 1300 kg (trailer w/brakes) or 350 kg (trailer w/o brakes). Maximum tongue/hitch weight is 75 kg. Applies to both the manual and the automatic gearbox.
Could easily be worked around.
@@enjoymusic4895 1dog= 50% reduction in power and clearance!
Come on Suzuki, release a Grand Jimny. Long wheelbase & four doors. You'll dominate the market.
Exactly
That was be awesome amigo
yes I would buy one blind. I love this car but I need 5 seats.
Soft-top version first, please... :D
Would be awesome
I so agree with this, I would absolutely love this as a hunting car but it is just too small. Abit bigger and a turbo diesel with a 6 speed auto and it would be gold.
So you can fix the problems you mentioned with it by buying the manual with the rear locker and adding a cargo mat. 👌 the modern Defender 90 - for now 🙂
The idea of an automatic gearbox on a budget offroader is unnatural to me. So yes, I agree with you.
He should have blurred out the profane automatic gear selector.
For a fraction of the price
You'd also leave out some seals so that rain can leak inside the car. - Oh, and some rust here and there.
Isn't the automatic transmission better for off-road?
Thanks for reviewing this gem. And thanks to Suzuki for remaining loyal to proper off-roading. Now to wait long until Suzuki can build enough!.
I suppose to get mine next week ... it is just posponed to august ... and I ordered it last september ...
I love this car. Fitted with a lift kit, slightly bigger tires, and a locking diff it turns into a surprisingly capable (and reliable) vehicle. And the size, well,... when I was younger, I used to travel through Africa and Asia with a motorcycle. Once you've done that, you'll find the comfort level and the load-carrying capacity of the Jimny not only sufficient, it's impressive😁
Moto travel is an art.
I am not a real off-road enthusiast, I live in Milan and have never considered it worthwhile to own such a vehicle. But when I tried my sister's Jimny in Ibiza, I fell in love with it. Easy to drive off-road for a beginner like me, it is a very practical vehicle, essential but capable of doing much more than what you would expect. You hit the nail. Jimny is a perfect car for many couples, even in the city, given its size. It is only sa shame that the approval does not allow 2 rear seats. I now have a Smart car, perfect in the city for someone who doesn't want kids, but I think my next car will be the Jimny, because it conveys the desire to get off the roads and have fun. Great video!
This review evoked fond memories of the original SJ-413! - We bought it (used) as my ex's first car, and though it was no RangeRover, it was a great little 4WD to drive around town, I'd say that wintertime showed it's _real_ force: you started it up, and by the time it was swept free of snow. the heater was running nice & warm inside the cabin (not forgetting the added enjoyment of readily towing free Mercedes and whatnot stuck in the snowdrifts!).- Finding this video of the 2019 Jimny (many car makes & models) later, makes me realize I'd gladly go for one! - Thanks for posting this, greetings from Norway!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💓
Had one 10years ago and had the greatest respect for the little truck...
The new ones I am told a sooo much better in many ways.
I've done 45,000 miles through the middle east and on through Africa north to south and back in the earlier stock Jimny. Egyptian deserts, challenging Namibian routes, Turkana etc - fuel on board for 1000km off road, and it never missed a beat. Parts replaced - one rear shock. Superb and capable.
I rented a previous gen Jimny on Iceland a couple of years ago. It was bloody fantastic! Well yes, it was loud when driving off road, the steering vague, and the old 1.3 was under powered, but man was it a fun drive. In about 10 days me and a friend drove around the whole country and taking it to several F-roads. It was always clear to me that its limits was at a far higher point than my own. Also the feeling of accomplishment when getting to a point at the F-road where all the other vehicles was Land Cruisers and HiLuxes on 38" + tires was fantastic.
Oh how I love the Jimny. If only i could afford having two cars, I would love to own one.
Thanks for reviewing one of the most exciting new fourbys. A great honest review.
Andrew,
The Gen3 Jimny Automatic had an adaptive gearbox. Meaning, if the computer wouldn’t change gears as expected a hard reset would handle the problem.
Gen3; 1st reset method:
Fully disconnect the battery for >35 minutes.
Gen3; 2nd reset method:
Disconnect the plus & minus battery connectors from the battery. Connect the plus & minus connectors to each other for more than 10 seconds.
Gen3; 3rd reset method:
Find the little white connector at the steering column and shortcut it with a paper clip for a few seconds.
All three methods will reset the adaptive system/
computer and allow it to relearn your personal driving style.
- It is likely that the Gen4 Automatic has the same, or similar, system. Meaning a reset of the computer will handle the issue you had.
Best regards
..Boris
Look at Roam Overlanding, he has done his Jimny for Overlanding with out a trailer and it looks and works well
you could overland it in Tasmania or New Zealand, there is fresh water absolutely everywhere
9:15 heh, it's funny you say that, I understand your wisdom, however my own experience is to the contrary, in fact there is a joke at an offroad site I visit that there is a track called "Jimny hill". Because the only lightly modified vehicles able to make it up it are Jimnys and dirt bikes/ATVs.
I think it's the combination of a very steep incline & a very lumpy surface, the Jimny just bounces and scrabbles up, the Discos and Defenders seem to bog and lose momentum.
And yes, whilst your rear passenger space is limited, the load space is very square & useable.
I have a 2 door tracker and they key is good space management with containers and going as tall as you can in the space. Lots of room but plan to take stuff in and out a lot. Of course built in drawers and stuff help a lot too.
I bought one after watching a lot of videos like this one, and I love it. Even driving around town feels fun
Thank you Andrew, We have owned Suzuki 4X4's since 1980 starting with the LJ80 up to the current Jimny all being manual never tried an Auto,
& we have covered many hundreds of thousand km from the top end down the centre (When it was still dirt road) & East to West 13 times, &
anywhere in between. They have always had a 40lt tank with an average range of 430km so twin jerry can's in side sponsons gave us around 860km
A little mostly unknown fact is that when the Japanese decided to build these they based them off the Original WW2 Willy's Jeep,
If you check they are very similar in size & mechanical set up drum brake's etc & originally up until the Sierra in their appearance.
Anyway, thank you for once again another unbiased review, one more thing on Overlanding one of our longest stints camping/travelling was 22 days
you just have to plan the trip very well, but I definitely don't have to tell you of all people that fact. LOL
Kind Regards, Steve.
same we did to from the start
Bought a little Suzi in 1993, had it for 21 years till the rust finally got it. It was used on the beach its whole life, it was fantastic on sand. Mine was a manual so never had the shifting problems.
21 years on a beach ? Well gotta say thats very impressive for a suzuki jimny.
You & your wife are simply amazing 😁
True love. So adorable. more points to mrs for putting up with mr.short fuse. But, they are real and the best couple on youtube. Much love and God bless!
I'm in Britain and these jimny cars have grown on me. Its just like our old classic defender 😁. I want one
Always been a fan of your style of review. Thanks for another.
If they had built it 25% bigger and put a Land Rover badge on it it could have been the new Defender at a fraction of the cost and more how everyone expected and wanted it to be!
Your wish has turned into a reality, well almost. They made a 4 door jimny and unveiled recently in India. Will be launched in a few months.
"Plenty of room... for a hobbit" :')
The Jimny has always been good off-road, and as you say one of the few real four wheel drives left.
can any Jimney owner s tell me, without a garage do they ever leak from heavy rain? I live in the UK it rains a lot here. To me I have'nt rushed out to buy one even though this a favourite of mine. Thats because, to me UK isn't car country. its way so busy here, too many cars, too busy and compact , man made maze, no quite open roads between cities and the insurance racket here in the UK is a pain in the arse! so I use my feet walk, the bus , run and cycle . Maybe one day I will have the guts to do it. I read somewhere the saying: IS IT NECESSARY IS IT ESSENTIAL IS IT TRUE if not don't worry about it, keep life simple and happy Maybe one day.........
@@briantrend6675 I have the new model for almost 4 months and didn't have any leaks from heavy rain.
brian trend I have an x reg jimny and it’s never leaked
I live in Darwin, NT. We get extremely heavy rain almost daily for 5 months of the year. No leaks in both of my Jimny's (Gen 3 and 4).
I still love my Jimny, 4yrs on. Best car ever😊. Surpisingly good on sand on the standard H/T tyres too!
I want one. Suzuki, please bring these to the USA.
A very good review indeed. I'm glad to see that the suspension "chop" has been sorted on this new model, it will make driving longer distances much easier. I still think the Jimny is a great vehicle for the budget conscious country sportsman, fitting a deer box in the back easily with enough room for a dog too!
It's like the size of an old Jeep CJ 7 or early Wrangler, you know, before jeeps became oversized and SUV like. A proper little, nimble, trail runner.
Hello Andrew
Thank you so much for all the great videos and hard work, honest opinions and reviews. Over the years I have learned so much from your videos. Having had a 4wd UA-cam channel myself in the past I know how incredibly hard it is to shoot these videos. It takes planning, hours of footage and then even more when it comes to editing. I must have seen all your videos not once or even twice but some many times over. Last night I binge watched u til 3 in the morning and was onto it again first thing today. Thanks again, keep up the good work and hope to one day possibly meet you out on the tracks here in WA
thank you for detail video
as show Suzuki still great small off-road 4x4 on market today
I'd buy this thing in a heartbeat
A decent off road teardrop trailer would be a good solution for a long overland trip.could
fit fuel cans and water tanks trailer and carry enough essential gear.
yeah, 2 jerry cans & you've doubled the fuel capacity.. although I guess it's pretty easy on fuel
I wonder if anyone will make extended range tanks for these if they get popular. Even getting up to 55 or 60 liters would be a huge boon when offroading or going overland.
@@Swarm509 You could get the 60 liters one from the Sidekick Sport
I would not worry about your arms flopping around in a Jimny as your arms never stop flopping around....ever !!!
Not true
He's searching for the Defender window (aka armrest)
Had a Seirra soft top... Loved it and would go anywhere!
Fuck I miss mine
Also had one when i was young, would smash the larger more expensive cars, river crossings, sand dunes, never missed a beat !
Many years ago two friends did Cape Town to Kenya in the even more basic SJ 410, no problems.
Ahh, fond memories of the old Jimny. I happily watched a totally bogged and fully farkled Nissan Safari slowly pulled out of the door handle deep bog by a whiskery fella who happened to pass by in his battered Suzuki. He put a pulley on a tree to get some angle and literally inched the beast out. The 4x4 club were well humbled that day. Excellent videos, thank you.
I have a 2011 model and since 2014 is my only vehicle. It only gives me smiles!
I have seen many versions of the Suzuki in the past being used in game reserves in India, Police forces using them, utility companies etc etc.
It has always been a proper off road vehicle, just smaller than the usual 70's or Defenders.
Solid Axles, low range, nothing to fancy that will go wrong. Love the design, really nice looking vehicle.
Suzuki seems to be understanding that there is a place for a good old fashion 4x4 in the modern world.
I wonder if Land Rover are going to produce a modern Defender with similar values?
One very interesting thing about the new Jimny is it actually has electric power steering while also having a traditional steering box setup (Not rack & pinion). As far as I know no other vehicle has this but someone correct my if I'm wrong.
Great review by the way.
Well electric power steering saves on engine power no power steering pump..electric motor mounted on steering coloum is it whats the term i trying to think of....ajust to speed ? Ie the faster you drive the less power assist you get....can stand many usa cars as power steering seems the same at 10 miles an hour as it is at 100mph..
Also has auto dipping high beam headlights
Did... did Andrew just recommend a trailer? Or am i having a stroke? ;-)
Joke aside love the video, the Jimny brings up fond memorys of my mothers Suzuki Samurai from the ancient past of the 80s .
i feel like jumping into my car for a ride everytime watching videos like this.
Looks like a lot of good times can be packed into the Jimmy. Maybe we'll get this 4x4 option in the States one day. Thanks for the insight!
The 1.5ddis is a solid engine, our swift 4x4 rally car has 15k miles of rallying on it (that’s like 300k of combined driving and 200k of high heat off roading), if any one does buy it and it shares as much with the old jimny + the 1.5 as I think it does I would recommend before putting any load on to it or doing any work I would replace all the mounts and bushes with poly bushes and I would option it with the manual, I haven’t had a suzuki box fail on me apart from the usual rear transfer prop seal which is inconvenient but not the end of the world, at most a couple of hours. If you want to turbo it use the 1.3 swift turbo or the turbo from a 1.6 diesel sx4 (same manifold and you should be able to use the same oil tap for the turbo as exists already on the 1.5 oil pan. Another thing I would suggest is pegging the differential and bracing the axle if you have a locker and have slightly bigger tyres because previous gens of Jimmy’s had Micky mouse differentials that puller the pinion out (literally folds the differential inside its self) as I say that can be easily mitigated by pegging the diff and probably putting some bracing around the axles as they are only sheet metal.
Don’t mistake any of this for problems as such but if any of those scenarios arise take what I said into consideration
Also wheel bearings are made of cheese so get some good aftermarket stuff with a good load and chunky tyres the bearings will beat themselves to pieces
25 years Later and we in the off roading community in the states are still upset about it no longer being available here. F..... Consumer Reports
William Warner it’s not because of Consumer Reports, it’s government regulations.
Well william its like this..american consumers over loaded, drove them beyond their design cababilitirs and limitations and crashed them,of course they did what they do best put in damage claims and suzuki were take to court..its true that they did loose and government restriction made suzuki withdraw certain models from usa after that.. 25years later as you point out usa consumers suffer because of their past antics... i suppose grey imports is the way to go for a new suzuki jimny or any jimny model after 1998.... part of me wants to say tough shit..but really on a more mature level...being diplomatic about it...they dont meet all your government regulations and leave it at that.
I would buy one if they sold it in the states... but i think the orig issue was that it flipped when cornering hard
@@timexironman100m same story with ford explorer's, under inflated tires and overloading them caused people to flip them.
i think the main reason they're not here is there's not a very big market, its main competitor would be the JL and since most people are still gonna go by Bigger= better the JL is just gonna sell better.
CR drove them like sedans and complained about the likelihood of a crash. The market responded by not buying them. The government had very little to do with its removal from our shores. That's how I remember it.
That green paintwork would look nice with a creamwhite roof, like a little mini land rover 😊
FUCK landrover. They couldn't deliver what Suzuki delivered for tenth of a price of the Discofender.
Oliver Janeba Hahaha! True!!!
Saw a Jimny with a Defender body kit on Instagram, I want to get one when and if they start selling them in the U.S. of A.
Looks more like a Defender than the new Defender.
You still have that instagram link?
There's a young South African Guy who on his channel has made/is making 1 of these an overlander very successfully.. a young guy learning all about overlanding and going to Botswana etc. done mods incl suspension, bumpers, roofracks, sliders, dual batteries etc..
Jimny's aren't a car to test drive. You need to own one, and once you do you'll never sell it. My 88 Sierra has been converted to overland and has no issues for 2 people and remains comfortably below the 1340kg gvm. I have no intention of ever selling it. Cheap to buy, cheap to run, cheap to repair. What's not to like?
Sandfly Bites what roof top tent have you got on? and any storage or fridge system in the back I’m currently doing my 88 samurai up.
@@s.wvazim6517 My set up is false floor to the top of the wheel arches.
Facing from the back looking in the left side houses a Travel Buddy and behind that a Century 165ah deep cycle battery. To the right side it's storage with a flip up lid. (no drawers).
On top of the floor on the left Waeco 50lt fridge. It leaves enough room for 3 x 60lt storage tubs I got at Bunnings.
No rooftop, I made a custom 3/4 roof rack and use a Kamp Rite double tent cot.
I have a tarp which attaches to make an awning for longer stays.
@Stuart Vaughan also forgot, I have a load barrier behing the front seats made from 25 x 25 mesh.
Sandfly Bites awsome thansk 💪💪💪
@@s.wvazim6517 I also removed the parcel shelf in the passenger side and mounted a 160lt compressor up under the dash for onboard air. It fits easily and don't lose leg room.
They are certainly not deal breakers for most buyers. I rented this in the carribean and boy, this thing took us all the places we wanted to explore.
Great review, I don't know why anyone would buy a Jimny with an automatic though, with such a small petrol engine you need to be able to pick your gears to keep it in the power-band.
autos are better for rock crawling. thats one reason to buy a auto and if you live in a city that has alot of hills the auto are abit better
@@brysonnorman7772 i live in a city with a lot of hills and my sister had a car with an auto and i drove it a few times. It was awful to drive, that thing would always choose the wrong gear. It would rev like crazy at 5krpm at a steeper climb when it would perfectly handle with one higher gear. A manual is much better for that because you are in total control, especially with a NA lower power engine like the Jimny.
In my opinion i have been in both a auto and manual jimny and the auto handled it better
Might be nice offroad with auto
I met a RCAF Spitfire pilot who got to fly one of the later Mk.'s. He took off on the west coast of England out to sea and circled back over land to get his bearings, but had a problem finding landmarks. He rechecked his map and then looked out again and saw water. He had crossed the breadth of England in the time he would normally have had to find his bearings.
Had a SJ413 30 years ago, couldn’t break it, huge abilities from a very tiny vehicle... This is just a continuation from that vehicle as that was from the LJ80...
Had mine almost a year now. Not for overlanding no, for hunting and offroading for fox hunting. On freeways at 120kph its awful. I had several SJ410 and one 2003 jimny. This new Suzuki is awesome for my needs and I give it to Suzuki for not giving up this thing is a real 4x4 but in really miniature form.
Wasn't expecting that much praise. Will have to try one out myself.
Idk bout yall but I found this soooo entertaining 😊
"For a Hobbit!" - love it!
Small Suzukis has surprised people for decades. They are short, not wide and light - all of wish is quite good in a lot of off roading.
When the Jimmy was announced I was moments away from signing the dotted line... Holding out for a 6+ speed auto for now. The last shape Jimmy got a new engine and diff ratios 3 years after launch so I'm hoping new gearbox options come shortly.
After owning the last shape Jimmy I would go with the auto. Due to the smaller tyres and short wheelbase, technical obstacles need to be taken slower, and the manual low range isn't quite low enough. Lots of stalling, clutch riding and clutch dumps.
Awesome little land rover! I mean jimny!😎👍Suzuki got a winner! To bad they dont sell them here in the states!
I wish they did I would buy it instantly
Suzuki have always build excellent 4wds. I'm glad they are still going strong. Shame the same can't be said for some of the other old-faithfuls.
@ben walker, I absolutely agree with you and have had exactly the same thought. Second to Suzuki I think Mercedes might have done a good job. Third to that would be Toyota(due to their agricultural build style, 76/79 etc).
@ben walker, I agree. (as someone who runs a Defender body on a Perentie chassis with a S2a firewall, series 2 tailgate, series 3 doors with Perentie door tops, isuzu engine and a discovery 5-speed gb) ;)
Hats off to Suzuki for carrying the torch, together with a few other manufacturers
This is what the New Defender should be - Only Defender Sized - Land Rover have really dropped the ball with their latest yuppie wagon - Well done Suzuki.
You mentioned no arm rest..i agree,first thing i bought was an arm rest makes all the difference...im surprised the 1.5 engine still has the 40 litre tank which was in the 1.3 versions...did notice it needs a 6th gear...thanks for reviewing an auto box i have manuel..
The lane change alert is there to wake you if you nod off!
It's there for all the people driving while looking at their phones.
15 minutes already??? I was enjoying that, awesome review and great that you included the parts of "human error" like the Overdrive button, I want a Jimny but I'm too poor to get one.
It's a shame these probably will never make it to the states. This is probably the first new vehicle in a decade that I would consider buying new. I was really expecting you to hate it Andrew, but I'm glad you found it quite enjoyable!
I wish if they added a bolt socket to the left and right corners of the hood, so you could install two support poles on them, and extend your roof area.
other idea, how about designing the whole rear end to be a drawer, so if you put the seats up, you could simply extend the floor. a little transformer jimny.
and a bigger diesel engine of course.
and 2 exterior electrical sockets.
I love this little thing.
Coming up on 4xoverland... Andrew tackles cape york in a zook with a trailer. Followed by doing the first 6 and a half kilometers of the canning stock route again before running out of fuel... and carrying it home 🤣
Brilliantly done mate 👍🏼
I want this Suzuki jimny so bad, but not being sold on the US market. Come on Suzuki! It would be an instant hit.
I understand they cannot keep up with supply demands as it is.
I wish they would sell it in N America. All our rigs have gotten stupidly giant. Not necessary. This is perfect for a couple people for a couple days.
Yes I completely agree I'd park it right next to my Jeep. Love the simplicity and utilitarian looks that's why I love my Jeep but even these are getting bigger and wider my 2 door Jeep would dwarf that in every way.
I have one 2012 and is a amazin 4x4, I go to the Atacama desert, Patagonia, hi altitude snowy road of the Andes here in Chile and the Jimny go happy always.
Exactly, they should do Carretera Austral in one of those.
Just a comment from a certified mechanic about the auto box. Depending on how many kilometres are on it, the adaptations of the auto box might not be suited to your driving style. Most new Automatics are self adapting to driving style. The longer you drive it the better they get.
I wish we got this here in the USA.
ua-cam.com/video/w3sGkP8HeBY/v-deo.html
Wish they sold these in the U.S. Unfortunately I don’t think that will ever happen. This little 4x4 would meet my needs perfectly: Small and easy to drive around town while still able to tackle trails ands its way more affordable than a Jeep.
This car is actually amazing on steep gradients
Man the US is missing out. We get like four main options for 4x4. Our Aussie, Tassie and Kiwi friends have all the options.
I'm so jealous.
Nice views going up the Lindis Pass, should have gone over the Danseys Pass though with the Jimny, you’d have enjoyed that and Naseby and some time around St Bathans, would have been a good test and stunning scenery. Still nice work guys p, def needs some arm rests and agree with your statement about making a proper off road car not another plastic cup holder SUV.
it depends on are of overlanding... europe trip is overlanding too but you have petrol station everywhere so its ok to have small fuel tank
and he confirmed that car can be good enough depends where you live , what are around you that you can drive what surface is there... we must just move on from that old thinking that off roader for weekend fun must be live axles heavy old 4x4 car that uses lots of petrol. these days we can have all that with electronic traction controls and such...and fuel usage its very important thing to make your day or ruined it
Andrew you should try on similar locations some new subaru outback , it would go even better then jimny and have plenty of space too , more ground clearance etc. again you dont know what you didint tried yet , so still plenty things in life that can surprise you ...
I wish we could get these in Canada... I wish they never pulled out of North America, we love our 06 grand vitara!
Mine arrived last week. I'm so happy. :-)
Mr St Pierre White, the reason they have the lane-change flashy nonsense is that it's a Japanese car. After living here for over 12 years, I can tell you that the average driver needs all the help they can get.
Greetings from India! Nice video and vehicle. Perhaps in 2021 India will get the Jimny! Long que here😊
If this jeep come to US, I will definitely getting one!!!
@@imlemoni3202 True!!!! Simple 4x4 like Jimny that never break the bank. You don't need to spend tooooo much money for adventure!!!
Don’t ever disrespect Jeep like that.
It's just too bad it's not available in North America, Suzuki should really take advantage off the popularity of off road vehicle in America today(2020)
The best Jimny review on youtube.
Robert Remijnse Probably yes. I do recommend Roamoverlanding for fun with Jimny
These things still live, not in the states but still cool. It’s about the size of a classic Willys Overland Jeep. Been around since what the 70s?
Smile ---- knew, you couldn't have left your hands from this little gem.
But seriously, many thx for your great work, your knowledge and experience. Really outstanding. Greetings and all the best from Switzerland.
PS: How about a combo project: overlanding and fly-along with an ultralight ... ??
Thks for your view point.
I live in New Zealand and I own a earlier model of the Suzuky Jimny and I absolutely love it! Once you get to know it a little bit it's incredible what this little thing can do! it always put a smile in my face! with the manual gear box which my ones has the steep roads are absolutely fine because you have a complete control over your gear box.
I love your video's, but this one is particularly good, everything in it!
Reasonable price, 26K for quite a lot of car!
The new Jimny is just awesome! There is nothing like it in it's size to compare it to! Not anything current anyway. ⚡👍
Your timing of saying elephant in the room is a bit suspect 😂 I used to own an old SJ410. It was horrible on the long road, but unstoppable offroad. Not good for any more than 2 people for travel.
Borrowed a 2019 Jimny and was in Mavora almost the same time you were! Would've been wicked to catch up, but check the video on my channel. Vs the Jeep i was rather impressed with the little 4wd and honestly feel its Japans version of a Jeep. Awesome little truck with a lot going for it. EDIT: I was driving the manual (would may have refused the auto) and no problems with the gear box, was surprised to see it hanging at 3k revs at 100kmh however its a TINY engine! so its gotta work to drive at speed haha
Best review ever of that little truck! Thanks
Outstanding quality as always! I know it will have the same issues with water/gas payload, but i'd still love to see you driving a Niva, it's tough as nails too :p
Wonderful review Andrew! Keep up the good work. If you got a jimny with a manual transmission would fix the undesirable transmission characteristics
