Did i miss something? 😅🙈 What's your opinion , Jimny owner or not.

[@TobyRay45]

The months heading up to my July delivery date are going to feel like forever. Ordering a front bull bar and snorkel. And there is a very simple solution to not using so much gas. Stop PLANTING YOU FOOT SO MUCH. It is a 1.5L Inline 4, yes they can rev, but you have been doing it since you got it and you should have been taking it easy on the BRAND NEW ENGINE for the first 1000kms to drive it in porperly. I promise if you started taking it easier on the wee car, you should get the fuel use down to at 6.5 to 7L/Km. As a helpful hint, even though it is brand new, might pay to check the mechanical bit just to make sure all the thrashing you have been doing hasn't damaged anything as a precaution. It is a bit funny though, all the things you have mentioned are some of the reasons im getting one. I like simple cars, less to go wrong. I actually asked the sales woman if it was at all possible to get manual window winders 🤣

[@LifeofSmokey]

@@TobyRay45 garage said first 3-500km ride it normal and after that it's no problem. I just floor it for my videos. Don't do that on daily driving 😁. Pretty sure that Japanese engine is build to last 😊👌. Enjoy yours to , they are a ton of fun!

[@TobyRay45]

[@genericgymvlogsph9739]

It's fine if a car doesn't come with many electronics. What isn't fine is charging consumers the same price as a car that DOES have electronics. This new Jimny probably costs next to nothing for Suzuki to produce, yet they are charging a fortune for what it actually is. A cheap asian jeep. Thats it.

[@kais2345]

@@genericgymvlogsph9739 Yeah it's quite frustrating! If it wasn't for the supply issues (deliberate or otherwise) they'd be going for much cheaper than they are currently. At the asking price of 30,000aud, or realistically 40,000 if you want one in the next 12 months, it's not value.

[@rrrandommman]

'Biggest complaints about small 4x4, it's not a huge 4x4'. Suzuki, if you're reading this, please don't change the Jimny to be a big fat, overweight, over complicated beast of burden, us owners like the simple rugged dual solid axle, light weight machines they are.

In a Jimny you have adventures, not car trips! Btw, my standard Jimny’s fuel consumption is 6.9l/100km. All the other things are true, but I like to think of them as adding character rather than subtracting space/tefinement/performance etc…😁 I shouldn’t, but I love it to bits!

Totally agree 😂. There is more than those 10 things i just said. But the total character of a Jimny is just perfect ❤️

@@LifeofSmokey This vlogger’s bad fuel economy probably has to do with it being closer 4000 RPM most of the time instead 2500 RPM because the engine doesn’t have enough power for the heavier tires so it presumably upshifts more often.

Perú? Can you please tell me what is the wait time if you order one there?

[@bobjuniel8683]

The fact is you stuffed your Suzuki Jimny. Changed the tyres, overloaded the roof, lose the rack and awning, you increased wind resistance, turned off factory safety controls and drove too fast on the highway. The 4WD Buggy winch is a good idea as are max tracks, carried on the spare wheel. A long range fuel tank would be a good extra. Keep the extra fuel down low and out of the cabin. definitely not on the roof. The original WW2 Jeeps topped out at 55 Miles per hour or or 90 Kilometres Per Hour. The cruising speed was lower 45 MPH or 70 KPH. The Suzuki Jeep is an off road vehicle. Drive it at 45 MPH and see how sweet it is, And it has 3 rear view mirrors, don't overload the back. A very versatile farm vehicle. Drive around the paddocks 5 days a week, into town to shop on Saturday and the Missus can drive you to church on Sunday. I love 'em, Jimnys not the Missus.

a simple interior redesign with more storage space and better cupholders, something like the Wrangler, would make this thing a 10/10 vehicle for me. maybe a carpeted cargo area too so my grocers don't go flying everywhere

[@LifeofSmokey]

I asked Suzuki to send me the price of a complete new engine. So i can have that one forged and tuned to like 300hp or something without killing the original engine. But no price so far 😂. Or maybe a simple 200hp kit this summer not really sure yet what i'm gonna do with it. It's getting really REALLY expensive 🙈🤷‍♂️

I think something like the Jimny is a perfect car for hunters or other people who really have to drive into the forest during hunting season etc. It's not fun to do this with a big fat overloaded G-class.

Samurai frame,axles and transfer case, 1.6 turbo,etc. If Suzuki brought the new Jimny's to the U.S. I might would just go that route instead o building her one though!

I was disappointed that they didn't come to the US, but then again they already had more tech on them than I wanted. I loved my Samurai. The only tech was an AM/FM radio that really din't pick up either brand very well. But what did work very well, was the truck itself. Very simple, very basic, and about 26mpg.

[@musoseven8218]

That's a very cool Jimny!✌️👍😊 l always loved our early Jimnys even with their quirks and fobbles. With the latest version, instead of taking it off of the UK market, why didn't they put in their SCross 1.0L, LP Turbo, 3 cylinder engine? That's a good unit, makes the - basically small SUV style estate car - SCross pretty lively, good and torquey and returns really good mpg too (not sure how long the motor or turbo will last, but hey it's a Suzuki, so probably a long time). Also some extra sound proofing etc? Perfect, small 4x4. I note on the new low spec Swift's though, they lack sound proofing too, come on Suzuki you're better than that😉✌️ Very capable off roaders and very liveable with on road, merely horses for courses 😉😊👍 Even on Eg the SCross with engine under trays, they get filthy, same through entire range from what I can tell - a nuisance at its worst, no biggy though.

[@LifeofSmokey]

They just know their N/A engines will never break down in a Jimny. A 1.0 turbo engine is most likely gonna have problems when the car is stuck and does some high revving 😅. Or maybe they had a couple more thousand 1.5 engines just laying around and it was cheaper 😅

[@musoseven8218]

@@LifeofSmokey Thanks for the reply, I understand that - good points 👍😉😊 We used to have a saying when I first started work - back in the day in the motor trade - 'turbos double the bhp and halve the engine life'. We'll see with our SCross, at least the turbo is easy to get at if it's just wear and tear, if it let's go? That's another matter, a stuffed engine. Yh Suzuki could have lots of 1.5 motors sat about but, as the SJ is so popular in the UK? Change the engine, get em sold. Of course the elephant in the room is the hype around climate change (and our cuckold, useless, treasonous woke govt.). Don't get me wrong, there is some carbon climate change going on, but the real climate change issues are being ignored. The love of money and greed are basically the drivers for the changes we're seeing Plus smug self entitleds driving Tesla's in the Cotswolds? A) The Lithium supply chain is filthy and dangerous B) To the best of my knowledge, there's no LiPo battery recycling facilities (ask Elon Musk he even approached our military). C) After a battery goes the car is virtually a write off. Hadn't some manufacturers gotten petrol burning so good, only water vapour came out of the exhaust? Then there is synthetic petrol and, HFC's. The new SJ has gotten caught in the cross fire and then the pandemic hit. The headlong rush towards electric power? Would have been okay if LiPo batteries weren't involved and Nikola Tesla's free energy had been adopted instead - tptb wouldn't like that though would they, free energy for everything on the planet. BTW his experiments were successful and repeatable. Without Nikola Tesla's there wouldn't be the modern electric age, Edison was a dunce by comparison 😉😊✌️

I once snatch recovered a stuck Jimny while driving a Land Cruiser Prado. I didn't consider reduced weight of the Jimny and gave er gas like I was recovering a heavy normal rig my size. I also expected the usual point of tension where my vehicle stops and I use power to pull it forward. Well lol, not only did the point of tension not so much as stop (or even slow down) my vehicle, but instead, according to onlookers, the Jimny launched forward, rear tires in the air first, then it tumbled down the uneven ground "like a cardboard box blowing in the wind", never settling on more than one tire at a time as I dragged it, until I stopped lol. The rope I had was made to create extra tension, by stretching a bit, like an elastic, which creates extra energy to pull the stuck vehicle farther forward after the initial snatch, and they work great. Just not on lighter vehicles🤣

[@JohnSmith-fv7gi]

The main thing that keeps me away is the fuel usage. The "Official" is 6.4L/100 for the 2020 model, but in reality that is probably more like 7.5-8L/100, add on a lift and big tyres and you'll probably hit 10L/100 for a 1.5L engine, especially if you live in a country with garbage roads. It's alot considering I had a 2001 Mazda B2600 with the 2.6L Petrol that used 10-12L/100 with a leaking injnector and no exhaust pipe for a year.

For the money that a Jimmy costs and a Jimmy can deliver off road , you are not going to be stuck with endless electrical issue . I once blue printed the engine on a Suzi Realto , we called it the Rocket skate , it was more fun than BMW M1 .

[@shizenjapan]

I love the Jimmy such fun little cars. I don't own one, I have the escudor though although about to change that for a land cruiser. I really wish they would have out the 1.4l turbo booster jet engine that is in my Suzuki Escudor. It is very fast. 0-60mph in about 8 secs which for a SUV of that class is quite lively. Main thing it has plenty of torque and would make that Jimmy unstoppable off road, especially if you put on after market lockers on it. The booster jet engine is also way better on fuel economy. I can get 17k/l and more motorway cruising and about 13 just running around in general. I have driven the latest Jimmy and that 1.5l engine is useless totally underpowered even for a small car. The 660cc turbo k version we have here is actually just as fast and gets about the same fuel economy.But the car itself I do like a lot. Very capable off road, more than most people realise and they look so damn cool too. Basic as anything inside, but then as an offroader that is what you want. Reliable, easy to clean and you don't have to worry if you get a scratch on it. But that engine, it sucks, why Suzuki opted for that crappy engine when they could have simply put the 1.2L booster jet engine from the Ignis or the 1.4L from the escudor straight into that Jimmy.

I tested the new Jimny today and I agree with most of what you say. But you do infact have plenty of space to put your food, ofcourse not while driving. Up front on the dashboard there's plenty of space for chicken nuggets, sauces, burgers, really lots of food. Just don't leave it there when driving. I currently drive a 2018 Qashqai, which has even more space for food up front. I'm considering swapping to the Jimny, but I think not still. Sadly several practical things stop me from it.

Is that imperial mpg or American mpg? I now prefer to state L/100kms…

[@peijae1]

@@vincefairleigh6899 definitely US mpg numbers and prefers 87 octane. Fuel efficient for sure!

[@vincefairleigh6899]

@@peijae1 very impressive, im so disappointed with all that is out there, too expensive, too many electronics, bad fuel economy… the last few times myself or my friends got stuck is because we forgot to turn off the traction control… what irony,lol. Traction control is pure garbage in my opinion.

[@og882001]

How about audio system? Does the sound suck? I mean is there even decent bass sub sound?

[@LifeofSmokey]

The original audi is terrible 😁

[@austiwollongongwolf]

Had a 5 door Vitara for many years. All the same little faults, but fun off road and so reliable! My Mustang 5 litre V8 gets better economy than a Jimny

[@mahra456]

Love it getting one defiantly

[@skylineeeeeeful]

Can't wait for the 4 doors version!

[@florialdoneza7694]

its out

[@louel9272]

My only problem with my JB43 is that the aircon keeps failing every 4-5mos after repair...:(

[@Waywind420]

I like how theres a $100 million dollar fighter jet flying around overhead, but this guys only got eyes for his Suzuki Jimny

[@stevewalsh-balshaw1727]

Jimny is iconic brilliant little car future classic for sure n won't lose a penny

[@xiaoyu88]

My Jimny does 1:10 (1 liter to 10 km) with a roof basket, rock sliders/step, front small iron 2 tow hook attachments (mini bumper like, below the cut real front bumper), M/T tires (205/70/15 standard size) if I drive normally without going full throttle and being around 90 km/h on the highway

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

M/T tires destroy fuel economy.

[@brandonw6622]

The fact that this isn't sold in the USA makes me depressed.

[@jamesheverin1293]

Blame your stupid government..

[@ryane516]

did you put something on the plastics of your Jimny it is like Line-X or something?

[@LifeofSmokey]

It's called bedliner of raptor liner yes. Bought it at 4x4deals.com , comes with paintgun and everything you need.

[@joeym1635]

I got in a 1990 Suzuki samurai one time , my boss man had bought it. I like the newer ones like yours better, they look like a little Ford bronco.

[@vincefairleigh6899]

Does it come with selectable lockers? If not it should, im very impressed by the lack of electronics… every time I have been stuck recently with myself and my buddies is because we forgot to turn traction control off… such a useless thing to have on a vehicle! I recall once owning a honda civilc and when I had a loaner car a Honda Accord I couldn’t turn off the traction control in the snow, I literally couldn’t get out of my driveway, my civic made it out easily without any traction control.. the irony…

[@pim1234]

you could have made a button for turning off the traction control instead of a piece of wire

[@marzgtp]

I wish they sold these in the US!! I’d buy 2 of them!

[@gilbertsanpedro8570]

Thanks for posting

[@gordonski9310]

No extra taxes in France with the latest 2 seat utility model. Even 6 months old there is such demand here you can easily sell your Jimny for 30,000 euros. Not many like that on the market !

[@arniegajudo]

do you install lifter on your Jimny bro?

[@Oldman.Roaming]

Where did you get the armrest? Ive been looking like crazy for one!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Jimnystyle.com 👌😎

[@yetiemotion9763]

Have you put more power to the engine or it’s not possible? Recommended?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Only exhaust and intake from Forge Motorsport. Make the Jimny breath in and out better. But it's an N/A car so mods are not gonna increase horsepower. The only way is a turbo 😉

[@BlueJazzBoyNZ]

Well. Gordon Murray, drives one as his winter vehicle so there must be a few good points....

[@xWhiteRice]

for us americans, the fuel consumptions about 24.5mpg. might not be great for the weight but that’s pretty good for combined mileage in a car you take off road with big ole mud tires. I wish we could get these in the States

[@frumsmcnoodles323]

That's absolutely awful for the size, I got 16-18 mpg (14-17L per 100) average in a 99 Suburban that weighs 3 times a Jimny and it also had slightly larger than stock tires, I could keep it around 20mpg/11.76L per 100 if it was all highway, but if I used a full tank (300L/79gal) in the city I might get 8-10mpg/27Lper 100. So yeah, at all highway it wasn't to bad but a Jimny would use way less fuel in start/stop traffic but the Burb was 20 years old, compared to a new vehicle.

[@xWhiteRice]

@@frumsmcnoodles323 the jimny claims ~35mpg on pavement with stock tires. this guys dash is showing 24+ and he off roads it regularly. trail time will kill fuel consumption. another note, my 2004 suburban claimed 15 city. i bet it really got closer to 13.

[@pierremy]

It's all true, but I'm so in love with mine...

[@LifeofSmokey]

Same 😂🙈 Was doing some offroad yesterday and had some mud on the front window. So i sprayed some water onto it and my buddy laughed so hard. It's like 2 jets of straight water. Not some kind of mist or more sprays like you have on most cars 😂

[@EdgarCruz-lc3kt]

That’s a really nice car man at the end of the day.

[@joserizal877]

Hi would you mind sharing your tire and steelies specs, tia! Any lifts required as well?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Tires : 215/75r15 Goodrich MUD terrain Wheels : Goss steel 8 spoke black 7x15 , 5x139,7 , ET -6 😊 No lift kit needed with this wheels 😎

[@joserizal877]

@@LifeofSmokey awesome! Really appreciate your response... Drive safe😊😊😉

[@markcosta4337]

Yes I wish I had one here in the states and the things he's whining about is stuff that could be resolved by heal and stick insulation on the doors if he's that worried about noise. They're just like a Jeep not made for luxury and if you compare it to a Lexus it's a wrong comparison.

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

Insulation needs to be every where not just in the doors. Adds weight.

[@davidjames1007]

I also love my wife and she has a few things that irritate me as well, but I would not trade her for anything 😊

[@LifeofSmokey]

That's how I feel about the Jimny....and my wife also 😂👌

[@juanamaro8600]

love my Jimny

[@TrinidadPuppets]

I’m yet to find a reason not to love my Jimny

[@NiellCoetzee]

We also hate our Jimny... added a tough dog suspension.. hate it a bit less!!

[@willsonsuper]

Yeah,genuine suspension is Really suck lol. I haven't had any complaints since I put in the Bilstein damper.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Bilstein is some descent quality stuff 😎👌🔥

[@punklast447]

As an Offroad and tech enthusiast i would probably ruin that simple design within a few months ... Mass tech expansion that would totally not be necessary but thats just me ... Also why dont you just install your own rear view camera you can even replace the mirror with a screen that shows... You know the rear wouldnt be supper hard and maybe do some fillers in the door to make it less bare metal...

[@petergoh4425]

I heard there's a CD player included. Amazing! Mine didn't come with one. 😞

[@LifeofSmokey]

Yep , now i can play my 20 year old cd's again! Awesome :-)

[@stefanlageambecker6077]

only one question. way did you bye it???

[@Sam-lk6eo]

My VT Commodore v8 does better mileage than 9.6 ltrs per/100km, if its gonna cost that much to run, wouldnt you choose luxury and power plus cool factor over not getting stuck ?

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

I explained in other comments how to fix his fuel consumption.

[@Multheman01]

Less bells and whistles the better! Wish they sold them in Canada!
