Richard Hammond is the Jimny of human beings.

I think this Richard Hammond guy has a bright future as a car show host.

Doesn't look so tiny with hammond at the wheel

I've had my 2001 Jimny for 16 years now. It's been in 5 collisions and It is still road worthy. It's a Mini Me HILUX. 😁😎

Funny thing, nowadays the old model is quite expensive, and even the 2020 one is also quite expensive.

True story. I’m from the. South Island of NZ and a bloke I know , big burly police sergeant had one for years bashing it around the bush and alps hunting and gold panning...absolutely loved it. No need for a tent and being cheap , didn’t matter if it got a dent or 5.

Amazing. But Hamster was 11 yrs old when he made this.

I have driven a suzuki jimny for ten years, It's an awesome 4x4 it holds its own with the big boys, it as loads of advantages over bigger 4x4 's, it gets into places they can't, shorter wheel Base means it climbs better over ridges, it's lightweight and doesn't bog down as easily as the bigger 4x4', fuel economy it's far better more miles for your money and on tarmac it even out performs most conventional cars it's a legend simple as.

Richard makes the Jimny look like a Hummer!!

It’s amazing to think Hammond started reviewing cars when he was still back in school.

It's amazing how different he was in that video compare to his first appearance in top gear. Thanks for the upload.

My Jimny is 14 years old....a great fun jeep....keep the oil changed every year....keeps going forever....mine is blue too 😄

After a lot of LRs, I dabbled with one, and liked it - low running costs, competent enough for "real world" off road stuff - rough tracks on the way to walking the dogs, super reliable. If they do have one weakness - the rust proofing underneath is woeful, and doesn't take long to look dreadful - buy one that's been looked after, and keep it well wax-oiled, and wash off any salt from winter driving. Arguably, the earlier ones are better (lower class RFL uk), and less electronics to go wrong.... I gather, in Japan, there's a diesel option - pity that wasn't brought to the UK.

S644CNJ - Suzuki Jimny - 120,000 average miles - Recently passed MOT (SEPT) - V.GOOD CAR AND nice to see its still around

I remember the biker bloke (steve ?) on top gear driving a jimny at 60mph in a quarry, over big rocks and no damage to wheels or suspension. He was well impressed at the quality of the jimny.

You'd be surprised how much you can fit in the back of one of these. I went on a week camping trip and took, Gas Stove, 10 Man Tent, Stretcher, 1 Medium/Large Esky, 1 Regular handheld esky capable of holding say a 32pack of drinks?. Camp lights, a single foam mattress for the stretcher, spearfishing gear, sleeping bag, a bag of clothes, gas stove stand. A Tarp. And more (that I can't think of). Oh and 2 small gas bottles. Going from 0-60 is fine in suburb/city traffic. You can comfortably sit on 80 with about 2600 RPM. Going 90-100, you'll sit on approx 3000 RPM. Fuel is definitely more economical for city driving as the small cylinder engine with the high rpm on highway driving will drink some fuel (not heaps tho). I definitely don't agree with the 6ft person having heaps of leg room, I'm 5ft 11 and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone taller. 4WD'ing in these are a breeze, since it's so light, going on the beach and up the dunes is no problem at all. Can easily get to where the heavier 4WD's would struggle. Paid $4000 for my Jimny which has about 132,000km on the clock which I thought was a great price. Bought it from a Dr. who was first owner.

How ironic to hear Hamster talking about the potential of a car rolling over. Omen of the future.

Botth the Jimmy and the Hammond are around and still look the same.

I really did enjoy this video hosted by Mr Richard Hammond and I would most definitely consider one ☝️ of these as my next vehicle purchase.

I had a year 2000 one years ago, in that blue actually! Genuinely unstoppable doing anything day to day, i loved that car 🚙

Seeing Hammond in a Jimmy it's like an optical ilussion, it looks like a regular sized SUV being drived by an average height person. 🤣

A friend of mine is on her second (possibly third) Jimny and swears by them. Round here (south Wales) you can hardly turn a corner without seeing one.

I love my little Jimny !! My dogs go in the back and it`s great !!

It's funny listening to Hammond bash a car for being small... He looks like Jeromy getting into an american full sized pickup or suv when he's in that thing.

I have no need for one, but if they were available in the USA I'd buy one. It just looks fun.

Perfect Hammond size vehicle

some times i feel am gonna go crazy for loving the Jimny so much ha!

When that guy stepped out of the car his height barely changed, that little car is almost taller than him

Back in the day when he only had 37 crashes under his his belt, and his insurance was only $4600 a month.

I feel like this guy would have a good future as a car host

Watching this in 2021 with my beloved 2003 blue jimny parked outside. That was funny and pretty accurate

Love the way he puts it in 4x4 whilst on tarmac then goes around a roundabout! No transmission wind-up then?

"this car is small, if you got over that" in what 1999? Now small cars are sought after in the time where a compact wagon is bigger than any minivan of the time. No joke! My old minivan broke down just last week and I am in the need of a new car and man are those big. The Jimny truly is a niche car, but the niche is quite changing.

20 years and it's still the same...

I could see him.owning one of these bad boys

oh my gosh. he looks exactly the same!

Was this filmed before Richard Hammond had his teeth whitened?

Capable and good looking Jimny.

No mention of the thats its rwd fun . Give it beans from a stand still and its mad to go. Also the torque is insane it will flex the front shocks up and give a fast launch for a 1.3 na

5 minutes without a crash? I want my time back.

JIMNY! 😍

Damn, this model is 20 years old and it is still in the production. I wonder when will Suzuki come up with a new one.

The music at the start is amusing.

Bought 1 today and its still the same 😂 but its fine because its the true 4x4 of all times

He HAS to review the new one

Digging after so many years

What is the socket for the fog lights?

Hammond did this review on his lunch break in secondary school

I love my jimny

not enough info in the review

I kinda want this thing

? I have one of those ,and I love it!!??

I love my jimny!!!

Does anyone know if this has this got a centre diff, ie can you drive it in 4WD in dry weather on tarmac?

😱Holy shoot, he‘s lookin young!🙈😂

I have a '93 Jimny. I love it! It has a very low top speed though. Not great on the freeway.

The new Jimny is even more badass. Unfortunately the only cool trucks we get in the US are $70,000+ "work trucks" or you can lease for a frugal $1,800 a month. 🙃🇺🇲

I guess Hammond threw in with the bogus Consumer's Union lot and drank the punch. :(

Wish I could get one in the USA

There was honestly more room in my old 1998 Fiat Cinquecento hence I didn't buy a Jimny, which I really wanted before going to look at one. Instead I got a 2000 Toyota Yaris Verso 1.3 VVTi with looooooads of room in it plus it was cheaper to insure. Ok, I can't drive over a ploughed field but there aren't that many where I live anyway.

did he just say what i thought he said?

I can almost hear Homer Simpson say Whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop Hahahaha driving around in circles like that

cotl! how are zou? black list what's your opinion about it, gzys

Can you take it off road Richard and show us some of those capabilities :~D

The jimny can keep up with your land rovers and range rovers off road with a flourish those who mock it are fools.

0.30.....if Clarkson had been stood next to him when he said that 😂

Great! Hi how's it gonng? dream coast !!

Pagi mau taya betapa mobil jimmi sekarang

Did he just lock the centre diff on tarmac?

"its made from galvanized steel so it s should last forever" that sentence didn't age well most are rotten 😂

Looks like an Hummer next to him :D

This is a big car for a small man like him.

Small....you make the car look huge

Hammond still looks small in that

At least it manages to chirp out about 79 bhp, which isn’t bad. Especially in a car weighing no more than a packet of [REDACTED].

24.500 US Dollars in Brazil....

I want it

it was not looks like 1999 but 2008

he|a. you're a shining star& shake discover what's your opinion about that !!

Imagine this with a high output 4..

9k! I think a smart cars more than that wow.

are you sure this is Hamster? This dude seems to be taller...

"Its not a frightening vehicle" I would shit myself if I went round any corner at anything over 10 mph.

Try picking up a good condition jimny in 2024 for less than £7k... they held their value well!

A litlle Japan monster off Road

‘Not likely to sound fruity and deep chested’ hold my muffler delete

This car looked huge.... until a normal sized human came along

Funny to think they still sell this.

Wow you look like macauley caulkin👍

Cute little thing, but if you're looking for a cartoonish little 90s Japanese 4x4, the X-90 does it even better. Plus, it's even less practical.

Perfect car for hamster 😄

he looks like a 12 yr old getting out of that car😁

At here Finland 24000€ with our mighty taxes. =/

Leaving review of jeep aside. He is now paid highly to act the twat as oppose to being down to earth in this review.funny thing is all the good things he said in this review and the winters we have had since 1999 has he every bought a jimny..anyway small vehicle suits small people !

Do Jimny's have Renault engine's???

He even looks small in this. 😀😀😀😀The dwarf

My Jimny is 2016 version. If U'wanna get one, just drive the other side of the line….it's safer…:-))

Suzuki come back to NA!

galvanized steel... last forever.. :)) i'm falling out of it after 19 years... but hey.. the engine is tip top and it climbs as a .... ask samuel l jackson
