Hi Nick Thank you for your thoughts. I'm a single dad too and I'm picking up a jungle green Jimny XL today here in Western Australia. I am looking forward to driving out to the forest for a cup of tea in nature with my kids - enjoying the simple life. This may be the last generation of petrol cars made and I bought a jimny for its simplicity to fix unlike modern electronic heavy cars. I will be running this car for a long time. Please make some more videos with your philosophy. Cheers
I’ve owned and driven the last iteration of the Suzuki Jimny (2018). It’s a manual and very basic. Super reliable, pretty economical to run and fun…I love it!
Got my jimny (3 dr) mid last year as well, and I have raked up close to 30,000km for outdoor and camp. I absolutely love it. It may be small, but it packs a mighty punch in it's own environment ❤
Hey Nick Super video clip, cool with a philosophical take on why you actually want to buy a Jimny... I myself, I'm totally crazy about this little mechanical wonder. This vehicle is in many ways "The Last Action Hero" it's a car for the rough terrain, created in the present but built as in the past. Old school, in the very best way.
Hi! I couldn’t agree more. I have a Jimny and love it. Reliability seems to be a value in danger of extinction and the Jimny is all reliability. Cheers from Mexico!
I ordered a Jimny last summer, and it's scheduled to be delivered this summer. Of course, it's a four-seater model without the lattice-like metal partitions that are used to transport prisoners or animals. The Jimny can be sold for more than the purchase price even after 2-3 years of ownership, so it's a useful car for a kind of asset management.
Hello Nick! Thank you for the video. I’m currently waiting for my Jimny to be shipped from Japan (the same grey color, by the way), and I couldn’t agree more with what you’d said about modern cars being phony. I’ve seen an influx of Chinese crossovers which all look the same, especially on the inside: basically, there is a weirdly shaped driving wheel and a ginormous tablet that controls everything. If something goes wrong, you’ll be stuck indefinitely. Jimny is a completely different thing. Hopefully, it’ll bring you even more joy in the future.
Agree 100% with you. Sooner or later all these modern day tech filled cars will bow the knee to the old school stuff that just keeps on working no matter what.
Hi Nick I got a 2022 Jimny and love it got mine for similar reasons its very small like a hatchback easy to park very economical and cheap to service can hold a family of 4 in Australia we get them with 4 seats can fold down to sleep in and its like a mini 80series landcruiser solid front and rear axles very capable 4wd plenty of modifications can be done to these cars there are very minimal electronics like you mentioned which is the best part, manual transfer case. manual transmission option simple 1.5l engine not much to go wrong the best 4wd's are simple old Japanese designs
Possibly the single most important thing to do with a new Jimny is rustproofing it everywhere as there is zero rustproofing from the factory and quite a lot of areas that haven't even been top coated !!!
I hate that this video is only 6min long. Couldve watched atleast 30min. The car is very interesting to me but having 2 kids and the 4 seater not being sold anymore I cant find any use for it.. I live on the country side with atleast 15min of just gravel/mud roads to get me anywhere. Currently I drive an XC70 -15 but would love to add this little piece to the collection somehow. Thanks for the video!
When will Suzuki come back and sell cars in America? I had a 2000 Suzuki. It was very good to me. I hope they come back to America cause they were affordable, practical and reliable.
Absolutely super 😊 Considering options and doing research at the moment. Thank U for this down to earth and honest approach 👊 New Jimny definitely an option for myself. My wife is driving a new Volvo "SUV" XC60 with all that extra modern, trendy stuff... Well yes, good for "safety" of the kids... Or is it?🤔 In the 70's they (3 kids backseat) were piled up in a Saab 90 without seatbelts... My dad always had a big American car 😅
yup expensive... but I got one of the last in Switzerland - even more expensive!! - as someone once said, you quickly forget the price for a quality product, engine (1500cc) is more than adequate. Mini defender and I've had 3! love it, my only gripe is rust, she's 8 mths old and already surface rust underneath... when I get the next service (2-3weeks) she's getting her bottom treated proper!
😂du lyder dansk , jeg er 100% enig i biler er ved at blive halve smart fon 😢og det er heller ik noget for mig , ærgeligt de i suzuki ej laver en 1,6 diesel motor til jimny
