Caught your video before seeing your post, I believe that you’re sporting what’s known as the “new Jimny grin” in much of it!
Even though I’m still waiting for mine, a quick drive of the demo model showed the same lack of grip, the back end skipping out when i hit a manhole on a corner.

I've not driven a new one but you might want to make sure the tyres are not over-inflated. On my older Jimny over-inflated tyres made it very skittish. You would hope there are not from the dealer, still worth a quick check.

I'll echo that, I picked up my new Jimny on the 15 Jan, the tyres were set to 38psi, should be 26psi.
I watched your video the yesterday, saw your video when you placed the order and subscribed.

Forgive me, i'm pretty new to 4wd cars. What makes a car with 4wd skittish? I thought they would have loads of grip? Is it due to the lack of a limited slip diff or?
