The older Jimmy’s are so fun to drive- This new model should be a thrill.

Subscribed ✌️ Love my Holdens (own a VR Maloo replica) and was checking out this channel and was pleasantly surprised to see a Jimny covered here too 😀 I bought a new one in 2020 in manual and so far have done a 2" Ironman lift kit that was also a pre rego GVM upgrade, aftermarket rims and A/T tyres, ARB diff lockers, ARB bullbar, winch etc etc. Absolutely LOVE every minute driving it and gets so much attention. Worth mentioning the 5sp manual is noticeably quicker at 0-100 than the 4sp auto, manual 12.02sec vs auto 15.15sec (according to PDriveTV) on their private country tar road. Any extra weight from passengers really kills performance lol especially in higher speeds for aero since its shaped like a brick 😂 The 1.4L turbo from the Vitara theoretically should be an easy swap, but there are already aftermarket performance upgrades like superchargers and turbos available for the standard 1.5L surprisingly. I want the Greddy turbo kit or the supercharger from Harrop once they've finished r&d, but I might wait until warranty runs out first. If you're ever up northern NSW way, feel free to take my Jimny for another review ✌️

I have seen these little Jimmy's on the tracks uo here in the mountains they are pretty capable lil machines but I'd never buy one. Glad to see some more 4wd reviews, love me some good dirt action when you make it to the east side I know some skits tracks that will get the heart pumping lol some of my scariest moments in a 4 wheeled vehicle is off road at 10kph. That G wagon is bloody skits too haha I haven't seen one of them on the tracks yet.

Actually, the G-wagon doesn't have as much advantage offroad compared to a stock Jimmy as you would imagine. One of the biggest problems are those exhaust tail pipes, which affect the clearance significantly. You don't want to know how much they are to replace if you crunch them on a rock. I can't think of a worse feature to replicate on a Jimny.

I don't know what they did to that Wald Jimny, but the auto stock does 0-100 in about 14 seconds. The manual is about 12 seconds. I think WALD stuffed it up somehow. The 1.5 litre KB12 redlines at 7K and produces maximum torque at 6K. Not that I recommend driving it like that all the time.

@@RossReviewsau Good point, I didn't think about the bigger tyres stuffing up the ratios that much, though I'd already decided to stay with a very similar diameter tyre so it doesn't affect the ratio too much for rock crawling.

Another great video Jon! The Jimny looks like a fun car! But I don't understand the G Wagon. 500 horse power in something with the aerodynamics of a brick. Why? And as you said, no-one is going to take it anywhere near dirt. But yeah, each to their own!

It would be interesting to see how much the wheels, tyres and lift kit cost opposed to the upgrade from Wahl. As for the auto in a 1.5 noise maker, yeahnah. Should be a manual and it may even break the 0 - 100 time.

The G Wagon is probably going to be the worst car to take off road because the ground clearance isn't as good and it has stupid low profile tires / massive mag wheels.. Giant waste of money imo..
