Suzuki Jimny review | Retro, quirky and simply good fun!

[@NotApplicable678]

The best review yet. No silliness just good honest opinions. Well done.

[@johnhewitt1096]

I test drove one 2 weeks back. I cannot fault it in any way. I have ordered one for delivey in 2 months. I love it to bits

[@NobbyOnCars]

Very quirky, very fun.

[@eamonnmcdermott1939]

Haha, that was a great intro! You’d have to love this car. Haters are motivators! Great review Mark, thanks

[@MrGrentch]

You smiled a lot throughout which is a good sign. 😬

[@ruckusroke]

1 year now with my 2021 Jimny and it's still an absolute treat getting behind the wheel. Ppl just love it, from gas station/drive-thru attendants to seasoned business people, even college kids. It's no fuss but plenty of personality. If you want comfort for long drives, she's not for you. But if you zip around in bits or love off-roading, I'd DEFINITELY recommend getting one of these if you can. Cheers!

[@NobbyOnCars]

Great to hear that feedback, thanks!

[@albertsnijders7566]

Have a white one too. First thing I did is to remove the cage separation. The seats gain 8 cm space to the back and most important, the inclination is possible! And love driving it!!! Motorway speed is ok up till 120 km/hr, faster is not comfortable.

[@nathycoleman5494]

Just looks gorgeous with plenty of personality. Perfect for bringing home the Christmas tree.

[@brianrocks7277]

I love that, great dog cart.

[@exile730]

great review - hugely populatr here in Australia. You really seemed to enjoy the little Zook with all it's shortcomings. Keep up the good work.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@anthonylynch4168]

Really enjoyed that review Mark, great point about boxy Starlet and Manta love the older stuff, can’t stand tailgating either, I usually say to myself that’s an expensive trailer I have there behind me😬

[@NobbyOnCars]

Glad you enjoyed Anthony, thanks for watching!

[@terrydelahunt842]

Second hand non commercial ones selling for more than the price new!

[@wolvoman1]

Another great review. That commercial edition is the base model, upper models get alloys, rear seats, no cage barrier, larger sat nav screen and more. Thing is they are as rare as hens teeth, and selling for more than list.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Only the one spec available here

[@terrydelahunt842]

and not available new here. Would love one with the extra bit of refinement over this, and then rip the back seats out.

[@NobbyOnCars]

@@terrydelahunt842 commercial is available new here.

[@terrydelahunt842]

@@NobbyOnCars sorry yes, I was referring to the non commercial. The higher spec non commercial has a nice few refinements such as cruise control, climate control and android auto infotainment which isnt amazing but its the same as in the Vitara which I've driven and its serviceable. I'd love to get one and take the back seats out!

[@richardbarton2830]

Brilliant Mark, picking up my new Jimny in January and would you believe I just sold my Skoda Kodiac sport line automatic with all the bells and whistles to drive one of these fun-loving vehicles as I live in the country...and your right they have gone up in price now 24,000

[@NobbyOnCars]

Quite the pivot in terms of comfort there Richard 🙈🤣

[@andrewgill1749]

Brilliant, fair review. I wish I had a spare garage and a spare 21k and I too would just buy it and have a laugh with it at weekends

[@garrytuohy9267]

It seems like the ideal vehicle for everybody working for Coillte.

[@KevinWPruitt]

LOVE the look of this! I'm with you, fingers crossed they make an electric - super cool and I know I'd buy one!

[@iriliral6366]

Jimny with roof rack and a small utility trailer would make it complete.💪

[@johnfahy6515]

Good work. I Enjoy your reviews Mark as usual

[@NobbyOnCars]

Thanks a lot John!

[@terrydelahunt842]

Would make a great dog mobile.

[@bordersw1239]

Local dealer was selling the passenger version at £5k above list and people were buying them - crazy!

[@GavinByrneLand]

I absolutely LOVE my Fiesta ST. I'd happily swap my Fiesta ST for this Jimny.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Ah now!!

[@GavinByrneLand]

Lol, I didn't say permanently.

[@steliosieronymakis2480]

Funny thing is the commercial Jimny in Greece, which is mid spec, costs the same as it cost in its 4 seat top of the range version, that is before its commercialisation. That alone is a deal breaker for me Nobby.

[@Walktoasixpack]

Hi. Great vid. Does the commercial version have drivers seat height adjustment?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Afraid not

[@ridgmont61]

Can it be retrofitted with rear seats etc?

[@garethtalbot8950]

Great review. Shame we can't buy vehicles like this in Ireland unless you have commercial licence, though I know some have found a way to do it.. non profit business etc..

[@ronmccullock1407]

Good video

[@stuartmchugh1754]

Stupid question but can this be bought at retail? Is it €21k plus VAT?

[@NobbyOnCars]

21 includes VAT !

[@stuartmchugh1754]

@@NobbyOnCars shut up and take my money!!

[@NobbyOnCars]

19k without the VAT. Some price isn’t it!

[@DaraM73]

So they did bring it back (by ripping the rear seats out). Emission dodging bollocks.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Got it in one!

[@ryanstafford7776]

Great Review. Can I ask is it commercial tax? Also would this be due a yearly CVRT as opposed to an NCT? Cheers Ryan

[@NobbyOnCars]

Commercial VRT but tax was €400 odd

[@stevencampbell1150]

Great review as ever Nobby. I know 21k Euro is probably cheap for Ireland but it's still very expensive I think for an apparently cheap 4x4. I dunno what the commercial Dacia Duster is it may be more and part of the price is dictated by the ridiculous VRT you guys are subject to but that still seems hideously overpriced for what it is. I know the non commercial version is available in the UK but is Ireland not getting the non commercial or standard car version at all?

[@NobbyOnCars]

No car version happening here

[@graemetaylor629]

Is it twenty one grand plus vat ?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Including

[@MrSunnyBhoy]

Hahaha, that guy 2ho shouted at you is a nonce. Quirky car.

[@chrisblay]

A fun little retro 4X4 with lots of character. The rear seat delete means it’s potential market is closed down a lot though. Suppose that’s fair enough for a commercial vehicle. They’ve even restarted importing a small number of the Lada Niva 4X4’s to the UK market, so there must be a demand for these.

[@ruckusroke]

Trust me, even with rare seats its a tough sell for those in the back (my friends can attest to the discomfort in mine lol). This is a ride for you and your partner, or you alone.

[@Mancozeb100]

Surprised to see this .. thought they were gone here. Jonny Smith had an update on his one, only last week ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2K3f2x6od6Wbdk Great smile car - every way ! Volvo .?.?.?. - the car is supposed to keep the driver safe - while they mow down everyone around them !

[@NobbyOnCars]

No, just gone available again here!

[@Mancozeb100]

@@NobbyOnCars ...and agree - yeah - they oughta do an electric one. Jimny is a classic !

I've a volvo the last year or so and I drive like a granny since I got it :)
