Introduction
Main purpose
- The purpose of this page is to simply compile the links to various professional, semi-professional and amateur reviews and advertisements of Jimnys.
- For each review, a short comment about it (a review of review) should be written here.
- A review can either be in the form of a video documentary, an audio documentary (rare) or a textual article.
- Since Jimnys have been in production for the last 20 years, there are many reviews and advertisements of them through the years, worldwide.
- It is interesting to see how the reviewers' stances, review styles and opinions about Jimnys have changed over the two-decade span.
- The review or advertisement can be in any language, it just has to be placed in the corresponding language chapter.
- Some reviews and advertisements also contain useful information like technical specifications (some of which are hard to find in case of old or obsolete Jimny editions, like DDiS).
The content
- All kinds of reviews are included here, even badly conducted (or written) ones.
- The purpose is that you can learn the difference between four types of reviewers:
- amateur,
- professional,
- amateur idiot,
- professional idiot.
- The easiest way to spot an idiot doing the review is by observing their driving style - if they are driving like a bat outta' hell, then it's probably all about sensationalism and pomposity.
Gathering methods and contributors
- Forum user Bosanek browsed Youtube far and wide, and gathered as much Jimny advertisments and reviews as he could find, grouping them into several language-centered Youtube playlists.
- Most video reviews are currently externally collectively linked as a language-centered video playlists on Youtube, because it is a LOT of work to link each video independently here.
- Once a Youtube playlist web page is accessed, each individual video from the playlist can then be separately invoked for playback.
- There is no specific ordering of the videos in the playlists - videos were added into the playlists as they were encountered during wanderings through the vastness of Youtube.
- If someone is willing to link each video here separately, they are welcome to do it!
- There around 450 videos in total!
Sorting and categorizing methods
- Language-based grouping of videos and articles is not ideal - there are cases where a language in the video or article does not correspond to the world region where the material was made.
- Example is a review by a Russian in Russia, but in English language - it will still belong to the English language category.
- There are also languages which are spoken is several distinct world regions, like English in UK, South Africa, Australia etc. and Portuguese in Portugal, Brazil, etc.
- Each video or article is featured only in one language category (so no double-categorization).
- The only exception are videos and articles about diesel (DDiS) Jimnys - they are featured in the DDiS chapter AND the corresponding language chapter too.
- Language chapters are ordered in alphabetical order.
- If someone notices that a certain video or article is in the wrong language category, inform user Bosanek of the error.
Note for non-Latin writing scriptures
- Due to a different writing scripture than Latin, it is very hard to find all relevant videos and reviews in the following languages:
- Arabic
- Ukrainian
- Russian
- Serbian
- Greek
- Japanese
- Korean
- Chinese
- Hebrew
- Users who are familiar with their writing scripts could find more such videos.
- There is a chance that these language categories might contain videos in other languages by mistake (for example, Chinese and Korean in the Japanese chapter, etc.).
Speechless / Textless reviews
- This chapter contains all language-independent reviews - where (almost) nothing is written or spoken in any language.
- The reviews in this chapter come from all over the world, and may feature a Jimny edition which is specific only to the local region.
- This is by far the largest category regarding videos, and is very diverse in types and styles of featured content - from simple "walkarounds" in saloons, over pompous advertisements, to elaborate field tests.
- Most of these kind of reviews feature awful, loud, pretentious, pompously, hard-core rock or techno music - you may want to turn off your speakers for better enjoyment!
