60k is nuts. We have one built in South Africa for a little over 35k. It’s also a turbo’d unit..built beautifully.

[Gastronaught]

60k for world has gone mad! A new Defender please.

[OverlandTT]

Vicki, you’ve always been one of my favourite motoring journo’s subbed from your ad without hesitation.

[benschofield]

You lost me at 'just under £60, 000' as if it's a bargain. Jimny is a great car anyway, doesn't need all that extra money pumping into it. Bonkers.

[spacegreycoralred]

In 1986 i bought a Suzuki samurai for $6000, and you are trying to tell me that its now worth $60, 000+

[MrDeepakvasudev]

Last seen on fifth gear, great to see you again.

A more powerful engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission are all the Jimny needs to be the perfect vehicle. Here in Brazil, people install mechanical compressors and it gets 190HP, but this installation costs 1/4 of the vehicle's value.

Hi🇦🇺😃in australia there every second car on the road, tuff, easy on the pocket, easy to park, plenty quick enough and above all else…reliable as a land cruise! Never going to let you down😃❤️🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺

[ivordavies]

Good for 17-19 year olds and it's 60k. My first car was a used Citroen 2CV!

[barryleddicoat]

Hi Vicki. I have been a fan for many years and I love the passion with which you express your opinions. I enjoy the report on TJ however being a brawny Aussie I would love to have seen more challenging 4wding as we are quite demanding of our off road chariots. Cheers Barry

60 bags of sand! You can get a brand new Defender 90 for that

[fenflyer]

When ever I see Vikki....
I just remember when she whipped Clarkson in her nova 😂👍

[Android-vkyh]

Small fun and unique, and the Jimny is great to 😊👍

[travelmates]

Epic Jimny! Just needs some aftermarket front&rear diff-locks to be perfect.

[maurooliver]

Great video.
watching in Brazil 🇧🇷
root Suzuki Jimmy jeep 💪🏽⚒️🙏🏽🙌🏽

[inovartesmedialdainovartes]

Beautiful… Does it have any lockable differentials?

[DriverTuition]

Great car - I own a standard Jimny SX5 - but this is way too much money. Save a bundle, go standard. Just as much fun and spend the difference on travels. Mine's been across most of Europe. Best bit is that it is completely unfazed by conditions, weather or roads.
Nice to see Vicky again, met you once at Bruntingthorpe when I had a 964RS there.

[doctormoonbass]

Are those custom shocks supposed to be banana-shaped?

[Brendan-mg]

Fantastic vehicle but why why why can the load bay only carry a max 150kg...☹️
