I have a 3rd generation model Jimny and I love it ! (although I really prefer the look of the new 4th generation model). I live in a game reserve in South Africa where our roads are a challenge, and my little Jimny performs like a Superstar everytime !! I would definitely buy another Jimny. Yes the interior is not plush and there is a lot of plastic, but come on - for what the price tag is, its a fantastic little off roader with great reliability, acceptable comfort, good on fuel and very affordable !

[@josearnoldmadrona9246]

😊

[@guitaradam2000]

2 years later....still no sign of that 200hp you promised us

[@Real_MisterSir]

Suggestion: Try to make the ultimate Jimny in relation to what is the core essence of a classic Jimny. Increase ride height a bit, add knobbies (but not oversized). Increase power to a level where the car becomes fun to hoon a bit in. Make the interior all about utility and that feel of lighthearted adventure. In the grand scheme, when planning to spend a few bucks anyways, I'd say try to go with a new model so you get the proper color, no prior mileage, and also not having to deal with the surface rust before you have the underbody treated. The only downside is the wait, but I reckon it's worth it, when the used market hasn't seen a significant price drop yet. I have rented a few 90'ies and 80'ies Jimnys in Turkey to drive around for some weeks at a time (called either Samurai or Vitara there), and they are honestly the most fun cars I've ever had the pleasure of driving. They're slow and wonky, but always eager to go. The steering was awfully dead on center, the speedometer needle was flying back and forth between 20 and 50 mph no matter what my speed was, but that's the point! They're just so honest about their nature, the small details don't matter, you just want to have a fun time when you get into one of them. On road and off road feels equally youthfully spirited in these cars, it's less about driving them and more about just chucking them in the general direction of where you want to go, and the car will get you there somehow :D That's the beauty of the Jimny, and I think you should really try to capture this essence of the vehicle. Just do the right amount of work to it, but not too much. The simplicity is what makes the car :)

[@herbie53opf]

I own a Samurai and you spoke right out of my heart! It's sad to see horribly modified Suzukis. They are supposed to be small and simple.

[@theholty]

Agreed, the main thing anyone should concentrate on with one of these is making it more fun without going OTT. Just to add - The Vitara isn’t a jimny, it was a different and slightly bigger model in the Suzuki range :)

The 2020 might hold better value but from what I’ve seen in the past the Jimny has pretty high depreciation. I wouldnt expect a 3 year old sub 30k clocked example to go any higher than £10k.

[@j.franklin4999]

Tony B 3” lift is gonna be pretty unstable on such a small wheelbase though. It’s not like the ground clearance is poor, quite the opposite.

My advice: Pick yellow one. Mercedes G wagon 4x4 squared has the similiar color. They call it electric green or something. Add AMG look alike wheels. Add supercharger, tune the exhaust (choices: muffler delete / valved muffler / straight pipe / a new exhaust) Change the front grill to make it look like a merc. Merc did make a G wagon coupe and cabrio in the past. Doug Demuro has one. They do these sort of things to Lada Niva in Russia and other old soviet countries. It looks like a baby G wagon too. You can find some videos on net for inspiration. Profit. I like your quality content Mat. God bless you.

Pros of buying new: - choice of colour - no rust under the car - very few miles on the counter Cons of buying new: - ~3000 pounds price premium - very long waiting list - they are going to stop selling the car soon due to regulations - warranty will be void the instant it is tuned In my opinion you should buy this very car. Buying new just isn't worth the price and the wait. You won't have any benefit in warranty as supercharging will void it. The car can easily be wrapped. Ask yanni to make you a deal or even do it yourself if you have experience in that. 15000 miles really isn't that much. Adding to this is that you are not planning to daily drive this thing. So generally the long wait and extra price just aren't worth it.

Capable is relative... it can not haul around the gear and family so it's not as capable in this respect. Can't tow what I need it too either.

Dealers charging premium for this extremely small and anemically slow 🐌 vehicle does not sit well with me.

There are more than a couple of people who've experienced the same issues with their Jimny's in the facebook group.

@@kenzohkw Actually the most blinding are Xenon lights as they produce more light than LED lights. And what You, I and everybody else experience as blinding at night is a bad projector or no projector at all. I see that all the times, people buy Xenon light and install it in their headlamp without projector as the bulb itself is cheap and with minor adjustments you can fit it in you headlight unit. On the other side, the projectors can cost 50+ euros for one projector. So if you want a good and quality projector in your headlight you need to spring 200 euros for the units only, add to that the labor to convert the back of the headlight to make room for the projectors and you are easily in 250-300 zone. A Xenon bulb is 15-20 euros. See why no one buys the projector?

For £20k plus another £5-8k in mods you mentioned, the Jimmy (New) seems like a fun project. My wife and I are both "Jeepers". We both go off-road often and wheel hard & heavy. From the beach to rock climbing in the mountains to burying them in the mud. It is just a blast. So, I would normally suggest a Jeep Wrangler. But since you are in the UK, a Jimmy is more practical. Example: I bought my wife's 2013 JKU for $34k USD. We have added $12k worth of mods. I bought my 2015 JKU pre-owned for $26k (a total steal) and I have put about $9k in mods on it and we are still not finished. A Jeep build is never done. I hope you get the Jimmy and build it into a beast.

Those larger tires could lower the rpms on the road, that is if you can handle all the noise. The compressor kit is a must if you do so. All the trim parts are ugly and retract from the boxy look IMO. The diff guard can be made of a real thick plate of steel rather than aluminum for much less than that on a local shop. All in all I think a great series is about to be born!

[@flydanielp]

Buy a brand new and do the mods pls

[@TopCat9999999]

Wife has one of these. Absolutely brilliant little car- don't mess with it. Engine is fairly rough and would not sound good with supercharger. Too low geared for 200 bhp. No leave it alone- except perhaps some better 31 10.5 15 tyres. Holds value VG ours is post-it note Yellow!

Amazing car. Though in my specification it would probably be base spec, real off road mini with not much to go wrong. And those steelies suit it very well. And did I mention it's one of few still modern cars that comes in three-door. Lovely.

[@simonlloyd7557]

Yellow and mod the life out of it. I had a Jeep Wrangler TJ which i sold a couple of years ago. Probably the most fun car ive owned, and ive owned over 40! I did a lift, big wheels, fitted leather seats from a GTR, exhaust etc..It was a beast and awesome fun.

Hey Matt, I have a 2019 Jimny here in Australia and I love it, It's a 4 speed auto, I also have a 2001 Manual Jimny. I alternate between the two as my daily and I love them somuch, I've come from a performance car background to 4wds and now to Jimnys, I will never look back and as far as I feel, I'll never own anything but Suzuki bikes & cars again. Love my Jimny's, Wouldn't mind a swift sport too though. Also, The surface rust underneath.. Isn't that a UK Thing? Because of the salts on your road or something? Haven't heard of that happening outside UK. Finally.. Not sure what your warranty is but ours is a 5 year 100,000kms ot 140,000 extended warranty with regular servicing. Does the UK Lose 2 years of warranty?

this car is very cute , but due to its limited stock , in Indonesia the used one is more expensive than the new one. i’ve seen one sold here with a full offroad mod Rp 800.000.000 / £43220 🥴

[@davidwood3606]

Buy that one and do all the mods. I'm sure you can get the metal bits made way cheaper than 300 pounds ea. Another thing to consider is that once you start modding it you'll probably void the warranty so the new warranty will be meaningless.

[@klx100]

I really like the Jimny and in Malta it used to be called the Samurai in the 90s.. I really recommend you buy this one and mod it :)

[@alexmontanus]

Go have a talk with Jonny ‘car pervert’ Smith, who uses it as a daily driver. 🙂. I also like the look of this car and with some DIY work on it, it can be something very special I think.

[@whuffo]

Before boosting the power, try driving it at speed - get it out on the highway and find out what kind of stability it has. Then realize it'll get worse as it wears. The stock engine will make it go fast enough. I owned one as a daily driver and it was great around town but on the highway it always felt like it was just about to jump off the road. Off road it's a wonder - it'll go places other 4wds will get stuck in.

[@hein3g]

Black must be the most dull impractical colour, especially on an offroad. No contrast, the grills, tyres, chassis... Everything will be black. How boring. And you will be polishing weekly to avoid swirls or scratches. And then there's the high temps of black. Sorry, I cant see how people like any black car.

[@SeanJamesDocherty]

If your in the UK, you can't buy blue/black brand new anymore. I got the last one haha.

[@birtalanlorant5572]

@@hein3g Why polish it? If you are offroading a car, you dont care about the scratches. If you care, you are wrapping it, but why offroad a car that you are afraid to offroad? If I had the money I would buy a black G-Wagen tho, but the most offroading it would do is go on construction sites, as I wouldnt like it to be all scratched up. If I wanted to offroad, I would get a Lada Niva, upgrade it for like 3K, and it would be a monster offroad.

The ivory color scheme looks brilliant 👏

[@FourLowAdventures]

Had my Jimny for 9 months now. I bought Chiffron Ivory because it hides mud well, and I liked the "safari" look of it but you might want to get white and then add a vinyl wrap because you will care less when you scratch it (white is cheaper). Have taken mine some pretty gnarly places stock and had no issue with it. I wouldn't bother with the supercharger, it has a short wheelbase and bad aerodynamics so it will never make good use of that 200HP, and you will likely have to re-gear etc to take advantage of it. Would be a big job and bring the reliability of the engine into question, certainly not something you want for a car that is being driven into remote locations. My advice in regards to mods would be diff breathers, sway bar disconnects and a winch + recovery points. This is because an increased wading depth and full articulation on those live axles will really make the Jimny shine. A good set of recovery items and maybe a chainsaw for the boot will be money better spent than mods for the car itself because the Jimny is already capable enough from the factory. The lift kit and bigger tires will certainly make it look cool and give you slightly better clearance but will sacrifice braking, stability and the effectiveness of traction control. In regards to a rear diff lock I wouldn't bother unless you are climbing rocks. The electronic system is fine for mud and ruts etc. It lacks the predictability of a diff lock but a has a huge bonus which is that it is always active in 4-low, so you don't have to enable/disable it. And a diff lock will add extra weight. My concern is that if you modify it so heavily that you turn it into something it isn't then you might end up with a lemon. I have made this mistake several times with motorcycles and it sucks.

[@clooperman3745]

Have got a new Jimny, it has got electrically assisted recirculating ball steering, not hydraulic power steering.

[@ViveSemelBeneVivere]

Mat, the Rotrex won't be enough. The standard gearbox won't be able to handle 200 hp. The second most profitable business after turbo and supercharger sales is gearbox repairs.
