This Is the BEST Car I’ve Ever Imported From Japan!

I imported what might be the best car I’ve ever bought from Japan — a right-hand-drive Suzuki Jimny, and it completely exceeded every expectation. In this video, we take two Jimnys off-roading along Highway 1 with Big Sur as the backdrop, pushing these tiny 4x4s through dirt, trails, and real terrain to see what they’re actually capable of. Driving a Japanese kei 4x4 in the U.S. feels unreal, and the Jimny proves that small doesn’t mean weak. From on-road cruising to off-road trails, this car shocked me in every way possible. Watching my Jimny alongside my friend Matt’s Jimny made it even better — same platform, different vibes, same ridiculous fun. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to import a car from Japan, drive RHD in America, or take a Suzuki Jimny off-road, this video is for you. This might be the most fun, capable, and unexpected vehicle I’ve ever owned.
