Another awesome review again here Tish! The Jimny is an absolute classic of an off-roader! Really rugged and tough as nails! Keep up the fantastic work-rate! Looking forward for the next episode! 🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Its a great off-roader in a cute package!

Ordered mine 2 months ago! Coming next week 😂👌❤️ Reason because they had the old radio back in instead of the newer digital screen is because they are out of raw material to make that radio 😅.

[@rodl.miller3353]

I remember in the US they were called Samurai. One of my bosses had one and he loved his. It was easy to customize with big tires and he had a lot of fun going through the creeks and back woods with his. The main reason that they didn't last here is they were known for Rolling Over; more so than the Jeep CJ's. I always liked them; but, I wouldn't buy one because I spend a lot of time on highways and need the power and safety that SUZUKI just can't deliver. As always, stay happy healthy and safe.Enjoy.

[@timday6087]

Great review. Just a small point on the rear bulkhead; I’ve got a Jimny commercial, and at 6ft I couldn’t get comfy but you can move the top cage back by around 100mm as there are additional fixing holes for the mounting bars. The lower half of the bulkhead can be unbolted from the top half, but I modified this (removed the lower fixing brackets) so that it fits neatly underneath the repositioned grill.

[@F3udF1st]

So, did you or didn't you get comfortable in the end? Modern cars are made for midgets unfortunately, it's always a big issue if you can fit in them or not.

[@tomokokishi3066]

Fun fact: the commercial version of the Suzuki Jimny is not available in Japan. They're specifically designed and manufactured for overseas market.

It makes more sense with that larger area in the back imo, much more usable. I do like the Jimny, shame about prices being so high.

[@whitemoor66]

Great review Tish. I love these, and you answered my only question, which was regarding the seat travel. Seems it has the same issues as the old Defender 90 commercials. The strangest thing about these, given the amount of demand, is that Suzuki didn't re-engine them with a more emissions compliant power train.

[@AutoSocialUK]

I would like to know what is really going on at Suzuki sometimes.... they're all over the place!

[@whitemoor66]

[@pittmotoring]

Good review tish, nice and honest about how old school and basic it is but in a modern era if that makes sense. They are quirky and I think its the quirkyness that makes it so popular. A great commercial offering for those that don't want to put out for the more expensive and larger offerings available. I still can't belive that you slept in it 🤣

[@antonthompson7838]

Awesome video Tish, the Jimny really is an unassuming car, where the off-road capabilities are concerned anyway. Yes the commercial vehicle angle was the cheapest way for Suzuki to go but I hope in the near future they make an electric⚡️ version and bring it back to being a 4 seater, because I would hate to see this cute little car disappear from our shores in 2030 (unless being commercial it gets to stay a little longer than normal cars?)

[@AutoSocialUK]

I really hope so too!!

Great video, Tish! I still can’t believe you slept in the back of that thing; that can’t be good for your back. 😂 😂 It’s interesting to compare to my Defender, which is the no compromises off roader, whereas the Jimny is compromised, but full of character and charm, and that’s what makes it special. Let’s get that thing off road and show what it can really do!

Back in the 60s lots of people bought vans instead of cars too get round purchase tax and then had Windows put in the sides and a back seat installed, there were firms who specialised in these conversions. I noticed that windows had been left in the sides rather than metal panels, which presumably would have been cheaper to make. Wouldn't be surprised if Suzuki starts offering a rear seat and seatbelts as a day conversion kit. What goes around comes around. Great little car and review.

reason for the lack of 6th gear is because this vehicle never comes with a powerful engine..it comes with a very LIGHT engine with just enough power to move its own weight of the vehicle to make it through the offroading fun stuff really.

Sure I would buy one - But my buget is not for it - I live in Denmark and I allready have an older Gen 3 Jimny. Just got home from Nordkapp in Norway with a rooftop tent on top and kittet out as an overlander with Kitchen and fridge. As I am retired I took it nice and easy, and had some great adventures on the way. It took me 54 days and 7200 Km before I was back home. Would love to get my handson the Gen 4. Great review by the way Tish.

I would prefer this Jimny LCV over the new made in India version that is more expensive.

[@leonardfourie8684]

Unrelated issue. I drive an Mitsubishi Pajero sport with 60 000km’s driven. Shortly after a service my handbrake dash warning light came on. I took it to a Mitsubishi service a dealership. They assessed it and reported that my handbrake linings are worn completely and metal on metal. They charged me $160 for checking and then more than $500again for replacing the handbrake linings. They also warned me not to use my vehicle until they replaced the parts that took 7 days. I contacted Mitsubishi complaints and head office for clarity on this. It seems they don’t check hand brake linings on services and it is OK for them if one break down at an inconvenient time with worn handbrake linings. Even though my vehicle is only on 60 000km’s and it is not expected for hand brake linings to fail so early they refuse to explore it any further than me paying twice to have my linings replaced. They also also have no answer whatsoever when I asked, how do I prevent this in the future…so if you drive a Mitsubishi you can’t rely on dealership services to warn you prior to having you breaking down and having to pay twice for something that can be fixed at services. It seems like checking the handbrake linings yourself is the only option. I think this is appalling from Mitsubishi.

Although Suzuki has pulled out in the USA, but this car is a great, fun car. SUVs and crossovers are on the rise; the Jimny is a good combo where it is a SUV, yet with the compactness and efficiency for the city.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

It pulled out of the US and A in 2013, but after 2013, they introduced some cool Suzuki’s eg the Ignis, Swift, Jimny and Vitara. Doug DeMuro reviewed a Jimny which was borrowed from someone who lives in Mexico, and at the end, Doug gave it a 49/100.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Do you think it's too small for the US?

[@vroomvroombrian1372]

@@AutoSocialUK I will say it depends. Out in the country, then the car might be small compare to the Wranglers and Broncos, plus with the pick up trucks. On the other hand, as living in the urban environment, I do think it may be a good size.

What's it like off road then Quest? I loved my red 1983 SJ410. I ran it for 15 years. Once when i had a blocked fuel filter, three different mechanics couldn't identify the problem, even though my wife said she thought it seemed like a blocked fuel filter!!! Suzuki garage said mechanics didn't expect the filter to be at the back by the fuel tank! I'd LOVE an electric one. How would you set that up? Can't see how you would do it???

[@AutoSocialUK]

Best we find out!! There is rumours for a hybrid but then i also saw rumours of a long wheel base!

[@pauldotdll3276]

You can always replace the headunit. The only thing that's too bad is the auto climate, can't really aftermarket that for a price that makes sense. A 10.1 inch fits perfectly, and much better than the stock one.

Crazy when you think that Japanese cars were ahead of the game regarding emissions. Seen quite a few over here in Australia. Funny how they were always Jimny in Japan but were called Sierra's for year as an export. I'm surprised the older models aren't snapped up in the UK as grey imports especially with the small engine versions.

[@AutoSocialUK]

The old models are certainly not as sort after. Can you still buy them in Oz?

The two seater is a perfect vehicle for a dog transporter. What doesn't make it a perfect vehicle is the 6 month waiting list and the 33k price tag

[@savagegtalks5912]

should make a review on Lada Niva, get the Lada Niva 2131 aka 5 door variant. it's was designed over 50 years before this Jimny and still more advanced. Niva was the first unibody SUV ever made, Lexus was next but it took them like 15-20 years to follow. Jimny has drums in the rear while Niva has disc breaks on all 4 corners... and optional extra is a snow plow, now that's cool and a rare option to have with a car. Jonny Smith made several on the Niva and still not given it the credit the car deserve for being advanced and innovative in design and technology for a 1960's car, you can get new today. If you was to make a Golf Alltrack back in the late 1970's, a Niva is what it would look like... we all know it. But even the Golf had drums back then, so Niva was years ahead of any VW.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Not sure there is any Lada Niva in the UK?

[@leemingmerlin]

You are mistaken...the current Niva does NOT have disc brakes on the rear axle, it has massive drum brakes! Also it certainly is NOT years ahead of the current Jimny! It is just a heavy slow and very agricultural vehicle.

[@savagegtalks5912]

@@leemingmerlin bla bla, easy cost savings... it's to be expected, they all do it, VW most known on their Caddy... they all do it, it's normal, no need to mention it. it's not slow, it's adequate. The Model S and Nissan Leaf is barely breaking 10 years old and people start to throw them away, Niva still here today going strong. It's not even a competition for the Niva, it's a slaughter. Can't change perfection and you just salty cus you weren't born a Niva, or you'd be perfect too lol

You have to be a bit of a weirdo to buy Jimny. And that is exactly what unites us who have our sympathies for him. Even with everything he lost for the EU, it's just Jimny and Jimny's darling.
