I'm an environmental consultant and have found myself in a position where I need a car that can take me from a meeting in the city to a farm out in the sticks with no worries. I'm seriously considering getting a Jimny. Your video has almost convinced me (I'll need to sell my Defender, so that's the trade off) but the lack of power and speed in the Jimny is what's holding me back. The Defender is noisy, boxy and has zero aerodynamics, so I can handle all of that - but man is it powerful!

Got mine in Belgium march 2020. Since I drove 35K km. On all kind of terrains. Spend 7 weeks drivin´ in Morocco. Slept some nights in the car. Went through desert, drove passes on 2700 m altitude in december. Never the car did let me down. It was a dreamcar and still is.

Your Jimny journey is contagious. We are retired, and contemplating the adoption of a little Zook ourselves. Jimneys are like "honey I shrunk the G." And they still turn heads six years later. Badger is such an apt name. We think fitting an 80l LR tank. I was going to buy a Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen, a G350d, but AdBlu and DPF let me reconsider.

Great review and well done considering you said you’re both not car people... just a few things. Albeit the Jimny being rare, Suzuki brings them every month and there is a waiting list so maybe you were luckily and got one without a waiting list but it definitely was not one of the last ones available as they are still available and in fact there are over 2500 new Jimny’s in SA now. With regards to it’s wobbliness, the owners manual clearly states (and you should read it cause it’s actually very entertaining) that this is not a sports car and needs to be driven for it’s intended purpose so bare in mind that it has a high ground clearance and is built on a ladder frame chassis with a solid rear axle, this all contributes to it being phenomenal offroad but a bit “different” on road. You’ll experience the same feel in a Wrangler that is much bigger and much heavier (and of course much more expensive and less reliable). If you have not done so yet, I would recommend getting your wheel alignment and balancing done every 10,000kms. Suzuki doesn’t fit runflat tyres to any of there cars, those are also not “marie biscuit” tyres as you cant drive with those tyres for a long period over a long distance, a marie biscuit tyre is a temporary use tyre used when you have a flat tyre and is fitted as a spare wheel option. The Dunlops you have are a perfect combination of on road, off road, and fuel economy. If you want to put day mode on the GPS screen when you have you lights on the adjust the lighting, you can do this by turning the right stalk knob that you will find on your instrument cluster (it sits on the right side of the cluster by your speedo, you generally press this stalk knob to check and change range and average consumption etc) Otherwise great stuff, it’s nice to see reviews about “living with” a product. Although besides for the touchscreen radio there is tons different between a GA and GLX and going on your review you wouldn’t have been as happy with a GA.

Upgrade your coils and shocks before adding a rooftop tent, the first thing you ever do on a jimny is change your shocks and coils. If you going to upgrade your tyres get khumo road venture all terrains, they are fantastic and really well priced, I cannot recommend them enough. Otherwise happy offroading. FYI, my jimny is also called badger, I'm pretty sure many others have also named theirs badger for obvious reasons.

Same here! In Malta 🇲🇹 (Mediterranean) they stopped importing the 4 seater version & automatic transmission because they have higher C02 emissions and are no longer available here due to that reason. It’s a shame cos I wanted the automatic version. I’m getting mine before Christmas! Have the choice of Brisk Blue Metallic or Kinetic Yellow. If I get the yellow (which is more green in my opinion), I’ll call it Kermit 🐸

Hey Kyto! thanks for the comment. Weve spoken to a few people about manual vs Auto and they have all leaned towards the manual. That being said its all down to your need and how you will drive the Jimny. As far aw we know ours has all the bells and whistles (as we had no option as it wwas the only one on sale at the time) and we love the added extras. We will for sure do another review in 6 months 😃 Thanks for watching

Did a 4000km trip through Botswana, you have to be very creative with the gear you take and how you pack, but we managed just fine but if there's any bit of equipment you cannot do without it's a good camping fridge, I recommend the national luna weekender. This was in the 2014 jimny (older shape) corrugated roads were pretty uncomfortable but if you let your tyres down it becomes a bit more bearable. The short answer is yes, with a bit of experience you can most definitely do overlanding in a jimny

Congratulations on a very HONEST review of the vehicle and covering points that are most valid for owners as opposed to magazine reviewers. Regarding self locking doors, any auto electrician worth their wages can change that for you.

Bloody hell, I looked at them in 2019 when they first arrived and could’ve bought one for 27k but thought I’d be sensible and buy a 2WD DMAX single cab for 29.99K. Then COVID came and prevented me from using the DMAX as intended now I use it for 10 minute shopping trips.

Covid too is nothing to take lightly. As you know it’s a serious respiratory illness. I hope you recover from that one too.

I notice immediately the difference between an average owner review and professional reviewers. So called professional reviewers talk about and emphasise performance, steering and handling. You mentioned everything but that, just touching on steering wheel play when the car was new and the rocking of the suspension. Professional reviewers are always obsessed with performance, steering and handling, whether it's a micro car or a Rolls Royce, ignoring the more appropriate, everyday elements of the car.
