Here's Why I Bought a Suzuki JIMNY!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- The newest member of my garage is the Suzuki Jimny, but why did I decide to buy it? Join me for a walkaround look at the spec of my car and a drive-out to think a little more about the plans ahead and where it fits in the line-up.
A surprise choice for many, but a car I've actually been waiting a long time to arrive, the Suzuki Jimny is in the Kinetic Yellow launch colour and a full spec SZ5 manual. To kick things off let's take a walkaround and check out the little beast, with a 1.5l 4-cylinder making 102PS and 130mn. Inside it's actually fitted with some surprising gadgets and gizmos but of course is fairly back to basics - which I see as an opportunity to look into what we can do with it going forward. Should it get a new bodykit, what about engine upgrades, any other ideas?!
Thanks for watching, Tim

Lots of you have asked why I decided to buy a Suzuki Jimny and what I plan to do with it, so join me for a Fuel For Thought to take it out and discover why and what's on the cards!
You brought it because you are ripping off Archie Hamilton and TGE who got one 3 months ago
Think how crazy it is, that this Car would cost very close to 30k £ here in Denmark 😑
What are the odds that you can get someone to fit an Up! GTI turbo? Looks to have enough room for it and it would give it a bit more get up and go..
aand still a 4 cylinder😉 be happy that it still has 4 :D
You make some news bos, not English news, but with Indonesian language otomotifnet.gridoto.com/amp/read/231720499/bule-inggris-tajir-bangga-beli-new-jimny-padahal-hidup-bergelimang-supercar
Turn off the AC and it will be faster 😂😂. (AC off= sport mode)
Modern ACs disconnect when you're asking engine for full power causing no loss. Tested on the dyno :)
arekb5 I highly doubt that’s every car, my fiesta is 3 years old now but still not ancient and it definitely doesn’t disconnect the AC depending on throttle input.
@@arekb5951 I do feel the AC affected when I ask for more power. Idk if it disconnects or just gets less power. 16 Hyundai Verna
My friend is a tuner and during a remap of my 2010 renault we did a run with AC on and the power output was the same. He said that it's common even in older cars. Maybe it depends on the car, or maybe it only disengages the AC compressor at wide open throttle, I don't know. It could also depend on AC type, automatic, manual etc.
@@arekb5951 Interesting to know.
Replacing a Shmini with a Shimny. Great car!!! 😂💯
Lol. Well put.
I think you just came up with the perfect name for it!
Nice pun xd
I hope you realise we expect a v max run on the autobahn 🤷♂️
if it's even legal at the autobahn
Mattboyo wobloxgames I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t. Anything registered that is able to go 60kmh is allowed.
@@LaFPholytrinity it was a joke aaaaa
@@LaFPholytrinity you must be fun at parties
@@LaFPholytrinityall vehicles that are faster than 60 km/h topspeed is allowed
I wish we had these in the US. I’d buy one immediately.
Wiggie I live in brownsville Texas, right next to the Mexico border, called a dealership today in Mexico they will not get them until 2yrs, so I guess I have to wait until Mexico gets them! The salesman said about 15/18k ! Won’t need to do US plates since I live right next to there border!
@@VI-dr1ov So do you have to pay an import fee when they hit mexico? I would like one as well.
I want too!!! Here in Las Vegas NV
Nyquil07 Na the dealership said I wouldn’t have to but it wasn’t nothing for sure since still a while until the actually get them sorry just saw this
@@VI-dr1ov Oh wow. Dude I'm going to do the same. I live in California and the border is only 2 hours away from us. There is a Suzuki Dealership in Tijuana.
Shmee reviews supercars so much that he called plastic satin black 😂😂. He's not wrong though.
I did say plastic as well
@@Shmee150 lol!! Its a 4 cylinder too not a 3!! 😂🤣😎
Because it looks amazing and is surprisingly capable off-road 😆
Is that what this channel is about really
absolutely!
Okay first of it looks like a lime box and second it's suzuki and third it's not good for offroading 4th it's interior is shit the geae stick is disgusting and finally it's shit
Techno You sound like the kind of person to own some oversized pickup truck that’s modified like a monster truck for daily use.
Allen Saunders umm yeah? Different experiences? In all honesty, it’s pretty much a coincedence where events are filled with supercars because they exist. If there were no supercars up until today, the same thing will happen. It’s just that we will be using normal family cars but we’ll always be happy with what we have.
Sometimes, these types of videos are the best videos, the personal 1 to 1 conversation. I also appreciate it when "the rich" genuinely appreciate "lower-end, affordable" cars. like you said, the diversification is great and that's why I love this channel. Keep it up Shmee!
You are saying it's a 3 cilinder. When u opened the bonnet/hood I saw 4 ignition coils. This means that it's a 4 cilinder (?)
You like the car
That is enough reason
Jimny is a cool 4X4 car
We like it too ✌
Tough Guy looks like the old twodoor-G-class. Looks Good in my opinion
I was more surprised to this than the senna..
It's a 4 cylinder. I don't know if they told you the wrong thing in the dealership, but when you opened the hood you can see 4 coil packs
The bloke is a moron,you can't expect him to know that.
God knows how he made his money, he's thick as f
He Is confused
They were going to put a 3 cylinder 1 litre engine in it, but opeted for the 1.5 4 cylinder instead
@@MrMarkhall1 People can be mistaken, you're thick for not knowing that.
@@Exciteddelirium1 I figured something like that must have happened
This car is beautiful , I definitely want to get one in a couple years when there are more second hand ones on the market
3:59 A small correction, is a 4-cylinder engine, not 3😊😊
Correct! I made a mistake while thinking about too many other things; it'll be right in the next video!
@@Shmee150 Matt from Carwow will be proud..😂
@@marksapollo Yes, Japan only market 0.7L 3 cylinder option available. All other markets the same 1.5L 4cyl.
Thanks I wondered why there were 4 coils
Yep
Suzuki is now wondering why there is a sudden spike in sales for the Jimny
EDIT: this was joke.i heard what Shmee said about there being a high demand for the vehicles.
Fezza bucked the trend over a month ago 👍
Lol
There was already a waiting time of over 2 years here in Germany a month ago
@@tomtellem joke, I heard what Shmee said that they have been in demand for awhile
They are already high in demand and cheap to buy.
Love the fact that you are testing and driving this car. It indeed adds a lot of value and diversity to your channel.
You got me here Shmee, I hope there will be many videos about Jimny, I just love it.
Tim with your ever growing collection of cars surely you must have been looking at a permanent garage is this going to be a surprise or do you have a date that you will be revealing it
Check my recent video about the costs of a hypercar, I answered that exact question
@@Shmee150 I was about to sayyyy.....
Love it. Very excited to see what you do in terms of modifications and styling.
I think this is the car from your collection, which I'd like to own mostly. I love all the supercars as well, but this quirky little thing just made a comfy little nest for itself deep down in my heart. And also I love to be ensured about that you're still a true car guy, no matter what the brand is. Huge thumbs up, and have fun!
Man!! You've got some unique choices on your car colors! I like it!
It's a rainbow of cars... Violet McLaren 675 LT Spyder, Indigo Aston Martin Vantage(sort of), Blue McLaren Senna, Green Suzuki Jimny, Yellow Mercedes GT R, Orange Ford Focus RS, Red Ford GT
Much respect Tim, nice to see you have a foot in the real world, just as interesting as your other videos. Money does not always make things cool. Takes me back to the Veyron on the A303 video that got me into your channel. 👍👍
I had the previous gen for 3 years as a daily for my Mrs and I used it for a bit of greenlaning - totally agree with your comments, they get under your skin and on paper they seem so terrible but they are so endearing! It is amazing to see how little has changed on the new generation!
Glad you got this, proves to me you are a real car enthusiast because you can appreciate different types and makes of vehicle. Cheers.
I love this tiny beast, and as long as I lived in the country side that would be a excellent choice for me !!!
Very cool car. I love the new Jimny.
LOVE the Jimny!! Brings back taking my old one offroad and on camping trips when I was much younger. Nothing beats lifting up a corner with your hands when you get stuck :D
Love, of course.
I had a Suzuki SX4 for 7 years and it was great to have it.
I can fully understand your point.
Make something special out of it. Can't wait for the evolution.
at 14:50 there's a Classic Mini in the background
sangam kr I need one
Classic clubman, very nice
Nice catch!
I got an ad as soon as i clicked lol
Sangam Mr I think it was a austin Alegro
I just realised the background colour at the intro depends on the colour of the car the video is about wow. Attention to detail 🔥👌
He's been doing that for bloody ages 😂😂😂
@@emilyw3192 I started following him recently you see😂🤷♂️
Hehe yeah this started a year ago or so; takes a lot of work and I do sometimes forget
@@Shmee150 haha😂👌
@@paavanpanchal1067 Haha fair enough 😂
Absolutely love the Jimny! Great addition to the fleet as well :D can’t wait to see what your plans are with it :)
Wow I’d love to see something like this back in the US... It’s like a modernized Samurai. I’d buy it in a heartbeat lol.
Suzuki Jimny is crazy little G-Class! Amazing car! Congratulations, Shmee150!
Shmee, this is the coolest car you've ever had on your channel by far.
Congratulations! You just got one of the best off road cars ever made.
Just because you choose this car with all the cars you have you have become my fav youtuber, congrats on new wheels love jimny
I realy like the Jimny.
Might be the coolest Smeemobile yet.
Thinking this is what the new Defender should have been.
Good job with the jimny! I was honestly getting tired of the amazing cars you’ve been showing.. >_< the jimny puts a new perspective to your character! Will continue to subscribe to your videos!
Haven’t been around your channel in a while, but I Loved this video.
You sound like Korg in Thor: Ragnarok 🗿
I saw one of these yesterday and it is indeed the type of car that makes you watch videos about it :)
Memories of way way back when I had a Moke. What a fun car that was. As always Shmee150, love your videos man. Thanks
I think the JIMNY is really cool and thank you for shearing it with us
Liberty Walk Jimny? Or Brabus Jimny? xD
Would you do an interior redesign like in the red RS, or will you keep the interior as is?
5:03 Old-school style, nice!!
Just rented one for my trip to Iceland. Excited!
that is about as close to the original jeep as you can buy today, i like it! can't wait to see some off roading in it
The Most wanted car in the world in 2019 :):):)
It looks like a cross between a Jeep Renegade, a Jeep Wrangler Sport, a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, and a Hummer H3.
Great choice Tim - I live near Henley (Berks) approx 2 miles from a Suzuki dealer. Theres been a Jimny outside now for the past 3wks - I've been have the identical thought as you 'wouldn't that be great for a bit of fun + some casual off-roading' ! Great car to commute the 50miles to work Vs my thirsty 335D.
Look forward to seeing more of it on the channel - enjoy!
What many wouldn't appreciate is how clear the roads in London were, one would expect a continual jam but the traffic looked incredibly light.
Are you sure its 3 cylinder?
.. Looks like 4 coil packs under that bonnet
It's actually 4
Love you for using meters instead of foots and inches. ☺️ Greetings from switzerland
Mr Tropical Some other TH-camrs still always tell everything in mhp and so on ;-)
Most people in the UK under ~30 will use metric for most things.
love that you can enjoy such a simple car
This is the best Shmeemobile till date
Please take it off-roading!
Man... never judge a book by its cover. You never know when a guy driving this also owns all those other cars.
Because your fave youtuber TGE has one :)
Fuck off cabbage
JIIIIIIIMNEEEEEhh! lovit, wanna see your smile when you drive it offroad
Love the variety! - Do take it off-road - it's another world!
"Jimny Power" as CarWow would say !!!
I would love to get one of these in the states.
Me too...I miss Suzuki 😔😔😔😔
At first I thought What are you doing getting a Jimmy Shmee. But I get it now!
I can't help myself instant like all Jimny videos
It suits you better shmee than your others 🤪
"satin black", oh well, plastic:)))
I love it! Totally practical for London. I love the supercars too, but like you said. You're kind of wasting them going around London. Awesome choice. Awesome colour too.
My favourite model and colour, great taste😍
When’s the Ikea run video coming?😉
Think youd maybe manage to squeeze in a packet of Tea Lights in that thing.
In his garage equipment he's going to use this Ikea jack stands....
th-cam.com/video/MqzKG69NCMQ/w-d-xo.html
I wish they would sell these in the U.S. I would love to have one
Start saving money.. you'll never know! I'll get one too!
Jimny that's perfect for London downtown, definitely shmee kind of use and comparison. Keep your style man!
Schmee looks so excited about this mini G wagon! I absolutely agree, it's not about the price or the horsepower but about the excitement driving it. I would put a winch on it, LED bars everywhere and take it on a road trip from London to Cape Town.
This NEEDS to be turned into a mini Brabus G Wagon Adventure @Shmee150
I have no doubt shmee got a huge check by suzuki because of advertisement
I thought it was just me. I also stalled it a few times when I first got this car - the engine is very quiet and the clutch is high. Took some getting used to but I love this car :)
Lovely town Tim! Keep up the good videos.
I love this car, if only the USA didnt suck and liked fun cars, instead we have Rav4s and CRVs
Don't you dare shit on the rav4 lol
Well You do have rapter and ram trucks!
@@abhinashpattanaik5109 true, but they cost 70k to get a good one
1 installment for the senna buys you 2 Jimny's🤣
Kau Mohlamonyane kinda wonder now how many Jimnys it takes to over power a Senna in a tug-o-war xD
@@Windows98R I bet you that's a challenge no one would be willing to do 🤣💔
[] now that is a challenge where I would die to watch
One, the first bush track renders the Senna powerless..🤣
Great to see you driving a normal car for a change.. Jimny's a great choice... Nice video as well 👍
I have a Suzuki Vitara ( 2003), I bought it two years ago, so I love this so much, I Can go any where with this car, so amazing car. I love Jimny too. but it can be nearly 50.000 UDS in Việt Nam... so this is my dream.
It's absolutely insane how many luxury SUV's there are parked next to the road when you look through his window. It's just audi porsche bmw volvo SUV's everywhere lol
That’s probably the ‘poor peoples’ cars where he lives lol
Blandsdale welcome to london mate
that's cause London's full of cunts
Michael Courtney 😂 how did you work that one out ?
He so used to push a botton
That he forgot the manual hand brake
I absolutely love it, the colour is great and it's a cracking car, I'd do exactly what you do tim if I had your opportunity mate
@Shmee150 add the DIR Offroad roof rack, ladder and some LED bars😎
Black roof? Nice sauna for the summer
Colin or toasty for the winter?
this car is perfect for London , well England in general
Need long-travel soft suspension to handle the London roads (wrecked by overweight double-deckers!).
old world charm of retro looks, moderate power, city and off roader, utility types, practical...at a price pt one cant really refuse to get noticed on the road amidst all the car typebodies...
I do love Suzuki for very much having a 'if it's not broken don't fix it' attitude, so many little bits & pieces I spot on the new one that they have just lifted out the old version.
And yeah, you are so right about the character aspect, I must say out of all the cars I've owned, from big pickups to roadsters, hot hatches & whatnot. My lightly modified 3rd gen Jimny is by far the most randomly complemented car I've owned.
At first I thought he said: “Suzuki Chimney”
All those reasons plus it's an amazing and underrated car
Speaking of stalling some bloke at my gym stalled his 911 turbo in front of me today. Hahaha
You know what I like about Schmee150? This guy has the financial means to buy pretty much any luxury SUV, sports or super car he fancies, yet he gets very excited from a relatively cheap and simple car like this Suzuki and he absolutely loves this little thing. Same with the Ford Focus RS, it's an amazing hot hatch and not by far the most expensive or fancy thing out there, but he loves that car to bits. Unlike many other "super car channels" on youtube.
Nothing wrong with the owning Jimny and really shows that you are a proper car nut and not a car snob. And when you do drive one of your super cars you will appreciate it more. Thanks for sharing.
Owns some of the best cars in the world......gets giddy about the Jimny 👍🤣
We could do with a small SUV like that in the states for off-roading!
Shmee has a Senna and a Jimny, life's amazing
Will you do a video on trailer shopping for the G wagon for when you tow the senna ?
Surprise surprise!! And why did u get manual jimny instead of auto?
When is your g63 and supra coming?
Just because I fancied the 5spd manual more than the 4spd auto, it fits the car better. The G63 is probably late June or July, I think the Supra we are talking more like September or October but we'll see
Hes not disabled.
@@martinallenuk me?
@@AmeerHamza-nv2ei Manual is so much more engaging - so much more fun to drive with - especially in a low powered car like the Jimny
@@AmeerHamza-nv2ei Plus cheap autos can be terrible at low speeds (jolty etc.)
"comes with beefy offroad tires"
me: "where?"
Absolute love the Jimny hope you make lots of wids with it
i test drove one the day they hit dealers in Australia. Loved it.
