SUZUKI JIMNY | An Honest Review After 3 Months 

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.

It's the first car I bought and I am so happy with it. Can't get enough of it! Enjoy your off roading adventures and stay safe!

What a great review. All I wanted to know. Also a great team presenting the review. Thanks and keep it up 🏅🏅🏅

I love the way the two of you speak. Loved the review! Good job!

Appreciated the frank, good-natured, informed discussion! Thanks so much!

very thorough / practical review! fantastic video.

i hope i get to buy one i really love it! thanks for the review

This is pretty awesome! Thanks for the review guys :)

Great video guys. We just got our kinetic yellow Jimny. Loving it. Have taken it off road too: it’s a wee mountain goat!

First time viewer and you just got yourself another subscriber. Why? Because I love the way you both are down to earth and don’t talk over one another. The love and passion that burns between you is not difficult to recognize. Your point outs on this car not biased but realistic...I love, i love, i love you two little birds. 😘😘

For your lights - there's a little knob on the right side of the spedo. You can turn it to the right and left to increase the brightness when the lights are on

Nice understanding between you guys ....love it

Really good video. I've had mine for 5 days now and love it. You covered all the important aspects of owning this car and gave a really honest and informed opinion of the car.

What a lovely couple! Great review!

Best review on the Jimny. Well done guys.

Thanks for a great review 🙏🏽

Came up as recommended video. Good review. I own Jimny also and love it.

I have ordered one, as a van. Only Van edition is sold in Denmark. Have to wait 2 months, for delivery and now i have watched, more than 100 RU-vid videos about the Jimny ! Cant wait !!!!

We own one since June...I couldn't agree more !

I've had mine for a month now. Love it 💗💗💗

Oh yeah - would definitely put on a lift kit! Put mine on 2 weeks ago on my baba and makes such a difference on and off road!

Had mine a year on Dec 6th, love the Damm thing to bits.

I Definitely get one, If I do have the chance! Awesome, love on first sight! VERY GOOD in City: Difficult to find parking space, but forr this small size, easier to find one!The shaking is very good for the offroad, I saw people, professionals put it on hard test offroad! Amazing performance for a small car.

Bought mine since April ..and I love it ..great review!

Very nicely covered key aspects that matter when you want to know the little things from your ownership experience; wonderfully complimented review by both of you, indeed an honest review. Thanks so much to both of you for making this. I am really looking forward to the launch of Jimmy here in India.. Hopefully next year August they also plan to launch a 5 door version. Currently it's made here and exported but not sold here unfortunately! Wish you both Happy driving in RSA .. God bless 🙌 🙏

Nice review. Take a look at the cruise control, it's wonderful to have it in so many ways. It's easy to use and very relaxing to ride at the right speed, not too fast, not too slow. I use CC on my manual gear car every day and not only on main roads. You can use it at slower speeds also.

Excelente reseña, gracias por compartir su experiencia

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.

Good review... thinking about getting one ☝️ of these 🎯🔥🔥🔥

Great video! Looks like a great car

Nice review. I love your Jimny´s name 😀

Lekker Jimny! Loving it every day!

Thank you for the honest review, I'm in the market to get one but not sure wether to get manual or automatic. How advanced is the top model compared to yours in terms of bells and whistles for the driver? Could you do another honest review in six months ? Great review, Cheers from down under former South African. 🙂👍

Mine is 3 weeks old and so far I am very happy

I want one. These need to come to the 🇺🇸. I would buy one in a heart beat. I do wish they come with a 6th gear for highway driving but other than that it ticks all the boxes for me.

Got the 2021 model back in October - I can honestly say I look forward to getting in the damn thing, every. single. time. Ditto on the headturner part - it gets loads of attention, particularly every time I stop for gas lol Love it

Absolutely love this video. My Mrs and I are seriously considering a new GLX Auto. Do you guys still have yours and are you still happy with it?? Thanks Shaun

Very beautiful video. Nice creation. Great work friends.

You can turn off dark mode for your navigation from instrument cluster when you turn on your lights

The right nib button at the speedometer adjusts the line instrumentation lighting, including the media player. You can turn it up to max when using the lights in the day. Just twist the button

Greetings from Germany 👋 I am also considering buying a Jimny.What do you think about the poor fuel tank capacity ? Does it bother you a lot or do you get well along with it ?

I gone to name my jimny "tejon" which means badger in spanish in honor of your jimny great revies. Greatings from mexico

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.

Thanks so much!

Love mine had it for 2 months and takes me on great trips in Magoebaskloof!

I think you mean demisting not demystifying! I like the army green colour! Friend of mine in Joburg just fitted a Bilstein kit to his Jimmny with improved ride in all ways.

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.

Il est formidable ce jimny 😊

Agree with the door locking thing...I suspect this is a Japanese-car thing, as both a Mazda and a Toyota I owned before did the same thing

North America NEEDS The JIMNEY!!....Come On Suzuki....'Bring IT'!!

The window switches etc are in the middle in Minis as well. I think the only thing that isn't is the electric wing-mirrors.

That's funny, i was looking online for one of these and 90% of the ones for sale here is the 2 seater with a cargofence behind the front seats (Torakku), and was wondering where all the 4 seaters where.

yes definitely need a crate for kids!

hey guys, I just have a quick question. Do the sun visors slide out, like when the sun is on one of your sides so it can cover your face???

Lovely couple 😇

Got a new Jimny in February 2020, my girlfriend named it Badger because it is white with the black trim, how spooky is that!! Replaced a Land Rover Defender, Jimny much more civilised.

Fellow capetonians. Just traded my 2018 jimny for a 2020, cant wait to get it.

I lov seeing fellow Pakstanis doing so well in South Africa. I watch your videos all the time, tell us if you feel comfy as a Pakstani in South Africa? Pakstan Zindabad

Eagerly waiting jimny 5 door version to be launch in 🇮🇳 india

i have been thinking about this car a lot ...this review makes super easy for me to consider one.....but i hear they are so hard to get...suzuki must fix that....

Forget the roof top tent, totally messes up the road holding. Small trailer the way to go. Greetings from fellow old capetonian, will be looking out for you, ours arrives hopefully in February.

Still got the Jimny? Any new mods? Just got ours. Bought a few storage space items from Jimny Style in the UK. Only been driving around on the beach. Like the name.

Hope you guys are well

Nice video. Mine is on its way.

Sold, mine is due in AUS late next year

How is the Jimny for over-landing traveling long distances?

Do you think that jimny is a good car , for first car? I just started driving and I really like it, but I’m not sure that it’s an easy car to start with !

Good too see you did the review with your mum thats kind of you a loving son 👍

Waiting for the launch in India.

Very cool

Where are you good folks? Missing the Badger! 😁

Hi how's the fuel consumption for daily driving

You both are an extremely good looking couple. Love from India. We're hoping that the 5 door comes here.

Everyone loves these cars. Most can never have one

Ordered mine in metal grey !😁

I wish you could buy these in the US.

No entiendo nada, pero que lindo Suzuki!!!!!!!

cool car

What's it like to drive in cross winds on the highway?

Hello is it safe to drive 130 km/hr on highway with this Car?

40K+ Aud here in Australia. The markup is insane.

Were do you store your gun in the car ?

Guys every Suzukis got Auto locks now check the menu on the dashboard

My Jimny / Rabbit_NZ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n9kbCUGFHJQ.html Video he made for SuzukiNZ competition Which he won. They then sent a professional film crew to make their own video. Suzuki Jimny / Rabbit_NZ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gAdSbpw3-sw.html

I want this in usa

Have you seen Mahindra thar? We are getting jimny 5 door in India. I have booked a automatic jimny. But loos and power wise Thar seems better. Thar costs 50% more than Jimny in India.

Sold....i wouldnt swop it for any other car....thanks

You might as well have provided a live demo of how 2 adults fit at the back. Sometimes actions speak louder than words.

Mate's supercharged Jimny. / Carl Ellacott ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kkuUJEoLDb8.html New Zealand new Jimny ute. / Carl Ellacott ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bf6SjS58010.html They are great little car's. My mates Supercharged his now 180hp plus. And in New Zealand you can also get Ute's too.

Not launched in INDIA yet .

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.

I was like “why does auto locking when you drive matter” then she spoke about SA.. I see, high crime rate? 😯😯

No videos for the past 7 months. Are you guys OK?

I play the KJV Audio Bible when I drive my Jimny. Praise God for Jesus Christ giving His life for a wicked person like me. Amazing Grace.

De-fog OK? xD hahah u mystifiers

I feel like this car is too expensive in SA so I won't buy it.

How did you score such a hot 🔥 girl

I well like to knoe if day have soft Top jeep
