7 Reasons Why You Should AVOID The 2024 Suzuki Jimny...!

[@DriMarqangel]

Clearly you have not driven one and you do not understand the purpose of this vehicle, as it is not in the same category of regular SUVs. Although it cannot be driven at high speeds, it still is a good vehicle for highways, although its main purpose is off-roading. So the context of the video is knowingly out of place, it is like if you named 7 reasons why not to buy a Suzuki Swift Sport and you listed off-road conditions. In its environment, the Jimny is an excellent vehicle, of course, like any other, with its drawbacks. I am the happy owner of one and have driven it both in highways and in dirt road conditions, and as since the beginning I was aware of its capabilities and limitations, I love it. That is why it is so important to make informed purchases with the objective opinions of experts and not only based on a subjective comment based on a technical sheet.

You are clearly correct, this expert is an Ai/computer voice. Those that like these little Suzukis already know before they even make the purchase. The Jimny was not meant or purports to be a GWagon or Rover.

@@imsmiley23 5 door isn't a hybrid. Same engine, transmission and low range box as the normal model, but with some beefed up shaft components to handle the extra weight. It does have some different cabin gizmos - the Aussie spec 5 door has adaptive cruise control and new infotainment screen. I'm ordering an 5-door auto box in the new year and wish we could get it in the LITE tech-stripped spec (no touchscreen, no LED lights, basic manual aircon), but that's only for the 3-door manual.

[@orcaflotta7867]

These people didn't get it. Jimny is not a luxurious, fast highway cruiser, it's not what it was built for. It's a small, basic, adventure vehicle, not a Rolls Royce. And the absence of a lot of stuff means there is less hit that can break.

[@rumpoh8039]

BEST 4X4 on the market. SIMPLE, RELIABLE and FUN.

[@LiminalSpaceMan192]

I don't see simple dashboard controls as a drawback when we basically got iPad screens shoved into so many newer cars. Having everything as a touch screen creates a distracting and often laggy experience. Also, the MPG from what I read was about 30 MPG which isn't bad at all. Your points about lack of insulation and noisy highway driving are very valid though.

[@MondayMorning-yv7nf]

You know these modern cars, they have somuch of really really really advanced electronics which means that they have unlimited electrons in them. When these electronics are switched on, those unlimited electrons rush out and flood the road.... they go and fill out in every nook and cranny of the road thus making the road very smooth..... so smooth infact that the car literally glides over it. The jimny does not have that advantage of those electrons because of which it is so difficult to ride offroad. 😝

[@drtimakianeurosurgery9601]

Agree - less technology means simpler build and easier to fix - we live in countryside and value of car is how easy u can get it fixed

[@Renissim0]

I have one and drive it on the highway often. I don’t notice any noise when driving it.

[@SirFrancoQ]

Clearly, your 7 reasons for NOT wanting to buy a Jimny does not apply to us in Australia . We certainly don’t buy the Jimny for any of your reasons mentioned . By the way, we also don’t eat in our vehicles, so chicken nuggets a poor reason not to buy a Jimny 🤣🤣! We understand many Americans eat & drive, we don’t . And most importantly, we buy the Jimny to go shopping, short trips to the bush & hopping down to beach, for long trips we use out Toyota Land Cruisers, so here in OZ, the Jimny is our favourite knock about vehicle. I don’t think the US are able to build a comparable vehicle.

[@conmanumber1]

[@Ranger-Ford]

I dont like Touchscreens in cars. Cause you have to look at them while using .

[@Syulang-nt4kj]

7. Lightweight is pretty much always good. It drastically improves it's performance on sand and mud as it is much less likely to bog. It makes it far more agile on rocks and broken terrain. Best, it lowers fuel burn, which reduces emissions and increases range. 6. I don't know where they get the idea the Jimny is heavy on fuel. It's pretty much the most efficient true 4WD out there. Is it fuel hungry compared to a Yaris Hybrid? Yes. It's also slow compared to a Ferrari, cramped compared to a Ford Falcon wagon, and low tech compared to a Tesla Cyberwank. The reason I'm going to trade over to one in the new year is that I worked it out to be the lowest emissions, lowest fuel burn true 4WD (i.e. mechanical 4WD with low range, solid axles and reasonable ground clearance). 5. It's a workhorse 4WD not a limo. Why would anyone buying one care about something that adds weight and makes maintinance and access to components and anchor points harder? Honestly, I would be happier if they offered an option to replace the carpet with rubber matting. 4. See above. People buying this car don't want electronics. In Australia we have a LITE version without any infotainment, just an old school radio. If it wasn't for the fact they don't offer that with an automatic transmission that'd be my choice. Touchscreens are just one more thing to fail and be hard to repair. 3. Tell me you're American without telling me you're American. 2. Rear air con vents in a Jimny? Let's be honest, the rear seats are strictly for ocassional use. They were designed to easily fold completely flat because that's where the Esky and sack of firewood goes. And maybe the dog too. 1. It's an offroader, not a sports car.

[@mrgladstone4044]

I was on the 2yr waiting list fot the first import Steel wheel SZ4, no sat nav [ it is now the 5 ] As a 70yr old I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Tiny, noisy, uncomfortble, hard plastics, zero aero on motorway, just like the cars I rememeber. Alas now with power steering, air con, it may look 80's but is a modern car underneath. I could aford a new defender but think they look a bit entitled, showy, a Jimny is not a satus symbol. PS rubbish irelavant review.

[@asfn5267]

You just described all the reasons i love this car. I love the simplicity and rawness of the Jimny. We have a Model Y and this is a perfect second car for us. Easy and cheap to maintain, goes everywhere and puts a smile on people's faces when they see one.

[@ernestford1182]

Agreed, the Jimny is not everyone's cup of tea, but then it was neither designed to be, nor does it pretend to be. Having owned a Jimny since 2021, I would only agree with two of the seven reasons, the lack of insulation and the limited interior storage space. Lack of weight, that's actually an advantage, fuel economy is not a problem, the wheels are certainly not big & fat, it's "off road capability" is THE REASON to own one, you do have to refuel frequently but that's because it has a tiny fuel tank, my smart phone integrates just fine and the advanced driver assistance systems are there. It has DRLs, and it's too small to need rear air conditioning vents. Steering & handling - definitely a matter of inappropriate expectations - we're not discussing a compact crossover SUV intended for trips to the mall here, if that's what you want, then the Jimny is not for you, this is a body-on-frame construction, live axle, rear wheel drive (when in 2H) purpose built off roader, and it's going to drive like one, I knew that before I bought my Jimny and I have not been disappointed in the slightest. I found this video looking for details on the new five door Jimny, which I see as potentially "bigger & better" and I'm seriously considering one.

[@Mountainman2468]

I’ve had one for 18 months. So far it’s been excellent. Lots of off roading in order to plant out trees I grow from seed. So far I’ve had no problems as you would expect from a car bought brand new, but I do work it. It’s not a Landrover, but for the off roading I do it’s perfect. For driving on motorways etc, not an issue.

[@CraftCisco]

Once you get 225/75/R15 or 235/75/R15 tires plus some good suspensions like dobinsons, it will give you way more stability and I'm sure you'll love it.

I don't understand what the throttle controller actually does? It's cheap upgrade but looks like a gimmick, I have the auto version 3 door. What benefit does it give since it's not an expensive or difficult to install upgrade so I would consider it if it actually makes a big difference

[@gregjennings1595]

The reviewer has an impressive grasp of the obvious, especially given the price point of the Jimny in comparison to full size/ high end SUVs. The comments about fuel efficiency are absurd, the small 1.5L engine is suitable for city commutes, the small size and enhanced visibly mean that it is an ideal city car. But snark aside, the review is a valuable reality check for those who aren’t familiar with the vehicle.

I want to experience my Jimny, take it with me where I always wanted to go. I see my self growing old with my Jimny yeah that kind of feeling ... sorry you missed it.

[@marklythall8712]

If I wanted a to carry lots of stuff, I would buy a Ute, if I wanted a car full of electronic gadgets, I would buy a sedan, if I wanted a highway cruiser, I would buy a big sedan, if I wanted a hugely expensive gas guzzling 4WD that would send me broke and depreciate thousands of dollars every year I would buy a huge 4WD, that I would be scared to take off road or on the beach - but if I want a cheap runaround with 4WD ability and minimal electronic crap to corrode and breakdown, I would buy a Suzuki Jimny. 95 percent of the time, I am driving by myself, and the remaining 5percent of the time is either a mate or significant other - the jimny has to be one of the cheapest 4WD’ to run and maintain ever made ands its so reliable it hardly ever needs to see a mechanic. I feel guilty taking my Jimny to a mechanic as I have to beg him to find something wrong with it as otherwise it’s just taking up his floor space and time for no return.

[@dman1848]

The Jimny has a cult following and for good reason. Allot of reviewers that aren't familiar with the Jimny's heritage don't realize that the cons that they usually state for this vehicle are actually the very reason why people buy them. These vehicles are low tech because that's what people want. It provides reliability and ease of repair. Especially in off road conditions. These vehicles really shine off road so naturally there would have to be some drawbacks to comfort on road. The light weight makes the vehicle incredibly nimble off road and also makes for a very cheap 4wd. These are just some of the many reasons. So no, I don't want heated seats, sun roof, reverse sensors, tire pressure sensors etc. I want something that's cheap, rugged, reliable and very good off road. That's basically it's market interest. I think you really need to understand a vehicle and its target audience before you make a uneducated review on it.
