Here's Why I Bought a Suzuki JIMNY!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 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!! 😂🤣😎
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 (?)
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.
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
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!
I was more surprised to this than the senna..
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
Love the fact that you are testing and driving this car. It indeed adds a lot of value and diversity to your channel.
This car is beautiful , I definitely want to get one in a couple years when there are more second hand ones on the market
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.
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
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!
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
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. 👍👍
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.....
You got me here Shmee, I hope there will be many videos about Jimny, I just love it.
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.
Just because you choose this car with all the cars you have you have become my fav youtuber, congrats on new wheels love jimny
Congratulations! You just got one of the best off road cars ever made.
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
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.
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
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!
Suzuki Jimny is crazy little G-Class! Amazing car! Congratulations, Shmee150!
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?
Memories of way way back when I had a Moke. What a fun car that was. As always Shmee150, love your videos man. Thanks
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.
I realy like the Jimny.
Might be the coolest Smeemobile yet.
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 😂
love that you can enjoy such a simple car
Haven’t been around your channel in a while, but I Loved this video.
Shmee, this is the coolest car you've ever had on your channel by far.
Are you sure its 3 cylinder?
.. Looks like 4 coil packs under that bonnet
It's actually 4
I think the JIMNY is really cool and thank you for shearing it with us
Absolutely love the Jimny! Great addition to the fleet as well :D can’t wait to see what your plans are with it :)
5:03 Old-school style, nice!!
I saw one of these yesterday and it is indeed the type of car that makes you watch videos about it :)
Just rented one for my trip to Iceland. Excited!
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.
"Jimny Power" as CarWow would say !!!
I would love to get one of these in the states.
Me too...I miss Suzuki 😔😔😔😔
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.
I can't help myself instant like all Jimny videos
Thinking this is what the new Defender should have been.
Because your fave youtuber TGE has one :)
Fuck off cabbage
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.
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
It suits you better shmee than your others 🤪
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.
This is the best Shmeemobile till date
Please take it off-roading!
Good stuff Tim....fun practical little car.
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
This NEEDS to be turned into a mini Brabus G Wagon Adventure @Shmee150
Love the variety! - Do take it off-road - it's another world!
love it looks awesome
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!
The Most wanted car in the world in 2019 :):):)
My favourite model and colour, great taste😍
Lovely town Tim! Keep up the good videos.
You sound like Korg in Thor: Ragnarok 🗿
It looks like a cross between a Jeep Renegade, a Jeep Wrangler Sport, a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, and a Hummer H3.
Didn't expect this car, but I like it very much, especially for the potential of it.
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!
Man... never judge a book by its cover. You never know when a guy driving this also owns all those other cars.
Black roof? Nice sauna for the summer
Colin or toasty for the winter?
Looks like a boxful of fun!
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.
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!).
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
I would gladly have one, I agree it has character and a charm all its own.
Great to see you driving a normal car for a change.. Jimny's a great choice... Nice video as well 👍
We could do with a small SUV like that in the states for off-roading!
"satin black", oh well, plastic:)))
I strangely love it. Especially the colour. Looks so much more fun than the standard white
Love it 👌 not all about power but is always about having fun!
I have no doubt shmee got a huge check by suzuki because of advertisement
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.)
Looks cute and rugged at the same time. Nice that you got the bright color, most of these new ones are grey.
That the engine is a bit gutless, but for many people this will be there dependable little offroad machine :) Also lots of horsepower and a high tipping point would feel a bit scary I think :)
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 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
At first I thought he said: “Suzuki Chimney”
Ideal for Spain. Like the aftermarket G Wagon or Defender kit.
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.
Owns some of the best cars in the world......gets giddy about the Jimny 👍🤣
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..🤣
V nice video , it made me like my new jimny more . Thanks
Jimny that's perfect for London downtown, definitely shmee kind of use and comparison. Keep your style man!
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 ?
We need this in USA🇺🇸
American trucks have v8s this suv's size...
@@masoomarizvi3495 I like one of everything.... great for farm and country towns run to store and post office school and church...
Country life is incomplete without an American truck
@@masoomarizvi3495 agreed! 3/4Ton 4x4 regular cab long-bed for Me!
With a camper top
At first I thought What are you doing getting a Jimmy Shmee. But I get it now!
I love it Tim. It comes from the other end of the motoring spectrum and I think it will make you appreciate the rest of the stable even more. How many more cars can you have though?
