It's great how you commented truthfully on the size of the rear seats. It really does hold four average sized adults (5'7-5'9) comfortably. I almost passed on this car because of reviews about poor rear seat passenger space as well.

How have you found it going uphill on motorways or with payloads (passengers or gear in the back)? I've found it revs out at only 60-70km/hr in these cases.
@MinisterVids
@MinisterVids Жыл бұрын
I think with the manual transmission allows me to have more control so you can easily shift down a gear and rev it a bit more, i have not had any issues going on uphills or motorways at all. I can keep up the other cars sometimes even go past them 😅 ofcourse not a sports car but very standard normal for these situations

Get what you want, that works and evokes that emotion and excitement. Pride in ownership is a big thing. Love the colour and heritage grill which is a must accessory. These are pretty slow and have body roll, but around the city, compact size, great visibility and up high seating make for a sweet ride. Think these look super cool.

Great review. I picked up my 2020 model (Jungle Green also) in July last year, got 13,500km (on and off road) on it already and love it. Agree with your comments re other reviewers assessments - they know not what they are talking about! The little Jimny IS NOT a sports car! It's a 4WD vehicle! It doesn't and never will perform like an Audi Quattro. The only valid criticism I have to agree with is limited load space but even then it makes you think twice about how much 'junk' you 'need' to carry on a road trip. You just travel 'light' is all.

Good honest review. I received my Jimny last October so have had it now for 8 months. It is a total joy to drive. I live in Melbourne and it is my daily drive. At present I use it 95% on sealed roads and only 5% on dirt mostly because we are always in lockdown here (almost 6 months in total now). I have done about 8,000 km so far. It is a joy on rough dirt roads and can easily cruise down the highway (and overtake) at 100km/hr in overdrive (5th gear) It is a small light car so on a very windy day on the highway at 100 Km/hour it does get blown around a little but not that much. For the past 25 years I've only driven automatic cars but I purchased a manual Jimny , it was very easy to get used to driving a manual again !! and is super fun to drive. Go buy one you will love it !!

Because you can buy 4 jimny's at a cost of 1 wrangler, I know jeep is more powerful but jimny performs equally on track with 5 times less fuel consumption and cheaper parts. We have the reason why it's not in USA but why the hell it's not in India considering the point that it's a joint venture production of an Indian company 'Maruti'.

But I wish they provided a bit larger wheels and a some tad more space for bottle holder or a sunglass holder... but like you shared, I hope I can get that aftermarket.. what's important is the core soul of that Car is a true compact SUV that will last ages and reliable!

Like you - I like stock, no heavy mods and the bad review people give makes me wonder if their expectations are too high... in the Jeep people complain about creeks and sounds, the fix is simple, we just turn the volume up lol. Take care and thanks for showing your Jimny.

It's same as the jimny but the finishing's not so much perfect in details. You can see it in folds of the rear seat for boot space. And man how grand it looks when customised🤘. I'd give it a 10 🙌👍

@@MinisterVids Liked the dash mat, have to see if available in England, not sure what is meant by a negative review though, the steering would strange to someone used to driving a saloon etc, lack of a 6th gear might be a problem if you do a lot of highway driving, transfer box noise might put some people off, my Jimny was bought to replace my aging and rusting (chassis) Defender Td5 while l wait for the new Defender 90 Commercial to come out, so far the Jimny has been everywhere offroad that my Td5 went, and on the highway at the legal limit (70mph) it has been okay, even slept in the back including our labrador and 2 pugs, cosy but okay, the Jimny is a good small multi purpose vehicle that is capable of being made a lot better with the accessories available, l'm impressed. To me a negative review is saying a car is crap and the Jimny aint. Happy Jimnying!!!!!!!!!

Regards to being noisey on the motorway depends also if you have auto (4 gears) vs manual (5 gears), however i havent really noticed anything too bad to be honest. Also depends if your comparing the noise level with a luxury electric car vs if you driven 4wd before, its just normal. Its a good ride on motorways overall 👍

Do you change gears based on RPM? If so, what is your usual RPM on a normal road?
@MinisterVids
@MinisterVids 2 жыл бұрын
I change gears by engine sound and road condition, but RPM is good if your new to manual. Now this is just a rough guide so i can answer your question but there is no "rule" on this, its more about feeling it. But Approx. 2000 RPM is ideal as a rough guide to stay on while driving (as long as the engine doesnt lug your fine). In the Jimny shifting gears up (it also depends on which gear your currently on, road conditions, when shifting) around approx. 2500 - 3500 RPM is a good guide for normal flat road to shift up. Other people might do it different but this is the approximate rough guide. I have a video of how to drive manual as a refresher or for newbies on the Jimny you can check it out 😆

Can I ask how much you paid for it? It seems each year they slightly increase the price to my sadness 😂 And I heard the manual was more fuel efficient how many L per 100km do you get?
@MinisterVids
@MinisterVids 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Isaac, it was about 29K to get the vehicle. I know price since then has increased due to supply and demand. Manual will probably be more fuel efficient due to having the extra 5th gear. Havnt really measured it carefully but around 7L per 100km (around there).

@MinisterVids
@MinisterVids 3 жыл бұрын
I think corolla is designed purely for comfort. In saying that, i find the jimny comfortable (probably not as comfortable as corolla as the jimny is more of a fun ride). The seats are very comfy actually. Its hard to compare the 2, as their built for different reasons.

The platform for this vehicle really hasn't changed much over the years. But most people would buy one for its 4x4 capability. They have always been a bit top heavy and with a narrow wheel base which does contribute to body roll. The old ones were always known to flip fairly easily. But they also very good off road as they are short wheel base and light. I know people who remove the back seats which allows for way more cargo space. I actually really like them but i do a lot of off roading. Mostly beach work. I actually own a dmax but would look at one of these in the future. Will wait for prices to drop and grab one second hand as im not into loosing the shirt off my back buying new. Shame they dont do a diesel version as its better for low end 4x4ing.
