Absolutely. A proper review of what the car actually is and no comparisons to other modern 4x4's that are trying to be a one stop solution for all markets, like my XC60. This new SJ - come on, lets all be honest here as that is really what it is - is not pretentious and not trying to be something is it not. So looking forward to getting one in a few years time - I really miss my old SJ 410 and this is the perfect replacement.

Here here!

I wonder if it will have the wiring in the rear for the missing rear speakers like the current one does

Martin Lines the is news to me, I had never looked. Just seems with Apple car play and a decent radio 2 speakers seem a bit mean. Have anyone fitted more to them ?

Lucky you, here in Germany we're currently on a 2 year waiting list.

@@admiralgant5271 The speaker's are not great, but heaps better than the old ones.

I only like the Forest Green and the medium grey but those two are not available in the UK..😟

Yes but how many of those will drop out. Ive heard countless dealer stories of ringing to tell the customer they have a car available, only to be told they no longer want one. My guesstimate would be out of the 4600 - 1000 to 1750 will drop out, not be in a position to buy at short notice etc...etc. Out of the remaining say 3000 people - probably only 1500 have a paid deposit put down. Paid depositors are much more likely to stay firm with the deal. And then of course we will have multiple individuals on numerous dealership lists. I know at least 20 people who have their name put down at over 50+ dealerships. Boil these figures down (even conservatively) and you have a Jimny waiting in the wings (IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS BUYER) and....Willing to jump in your car the very next day after receiving the news from your dealer that a car is available, pay the 18k within a few days, and it will be yours.

The body has a protection dip during the paint process and comes with a 12 year perforation warranty. The chassis is coated in something as well and seems pretty good even on older jimnys

Pretty much none I would suggest

Space in the rear might be an issue for you

@@bigjimny Thanks for the reply , yes that is my concern seats down flat ? i think might be ok , i'll have a closer look next time i pass by the suzuki shop . thanks .

I thought it was a programmable function of the Aircon in a similar fashion to the Suzuki swift I have rather than an actual heated screen

Cheers, just can't wait to get my hands on the Jimny, the mrs is never going to see me or her new car.

The front demist blasts the front windscreen with the air conditioner. No heater unless it's different in your market.

Hi Dave, what deposit did you pay to get on the list?

£500.00

spoony spoonicus yep, it can be slept in

@@farhorizonz that makes it a mini camper.

Not in UK spec, HT tyres

The king of Off Road.

William, haa haa, mate, in terms of reliability and servicing, I don't have to wait for the warranty to run-out. When my heating system packed-in during freezing weather, I went to the local Jeep garage who told me that repairing the heater motor wasn't covered by warranty!

William, I have two Jeep Wranglers - a TJ Sahara 4.0lt and my newer Rubicon and they are both built in the USA, unlike Jeep's other models. My TJ has a great engine and has been incredibly reliable, but the chassis is rusty, as I live in Scotland by the seaside. I should say that despite a few problems with my Jeeps, I really love my Wranglers and have had such great adventures in the mountains and it makes me feel special exploring beautiful places in such iconic vehicles. I don't think I will be buying a new model Wrangler JL, as the price is astronomic in Europe and only 1 star euro ncap safety rating, which is shockingly poor. A wee Suzuki Jimny is likely my next car, as I think it would a great little mountain goat, but with somewhat better economy, reliability and safety.

U don't have no vids of you offroading tho?

Najee, different generation pal, we didn't feel the need to video our life's adventures and we didn't have instaspam, or facebutt etc. with which to show off, just real living.

source?

@@sadiporter2966 dont be rude sasquatch

Eh, with the new tax system in the UK it is less of an issue than before for those who buy new and keep for a long time, or buy used.

We have to wait until later in 2019 ;)

needs a 1.0cc booster jet engine like the new vitara

UK.

Mercedes could never build a car this good for this price.

The gwagon is a rich posers SJ

Very poor.

Brian Paterson he moves straight into the overtaking lane. Not much wrong with that.

@@paulbarton957 yes, blocking the car that was in front. Complete ignorance and dangerous also barreling your way through a blind spot !!!

I hate it when people do that.

Have a good look under any new Volkswagen!

@@wangdangdoodie Wont that be an issue going forward? Its ok to say volts have it .... but that aint great is it??

I bought a alto brand new from a dealership in cardiff. The car had numerous faults which the dealership would not resolve as they suggested that I had caused most of the issues! Which honestly was bullshit . Would never buy a Suzuki again..but the new Jimmy looks nice as they have copied the look of a defender

@LM AO asshole

Stop/start being the most stupid of all. I got a 2017 Vitara, great car but so many bullshit systems on it.

@@mikehurley5052 Could not agree more.....I was really hoping the Jimny would escape all this Gimmicky Rubbish.....they will be parking themselves next !.....errr...wait a minute .

Doesnt have stop start, only japan donestic model has
