  Nice Small Truck - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Robert Marks - July 2 - 2:52 pm

  This truck never failed to start. Gas mileage was not the greatest but there is lots of room especially with the back seats laid flat.

  Worst Vehicle I have ever owned! - 1997 GMC Jimmy
  By ryanv97 - June 18 - 10:53 am

  I dont know where to start complaining about this worthless piece of garbage! Rear wiper only worked for a short period of time before burning out, door hinges squeak even after lubricating. Transmission has gone once and have had it back twice for more repairs and is leaking yet again! Will not pass emissions test even though I have dumped tons of money into it. Brakes stink and it stinks even worse in the snow. Very poor handling. Water leaks into this thing and my feet are constantly soaked. Sound system works sometimes, but not always. My brother has major problems with his too, from the transmission going to everything else I have described. I wish I had my Dodge back!!!!!

  The Jimmy! - 1994 GMC Jimmy
  By India - March 28 - 4:59 am

  I bought my Jimmy used in January of 2004 as a result of having my car stolen. Although I was not thrilled about the exterior, (I wanted a more femine looking car since I am a girl) I was excited about the leather interior. After buying the Jimmy, I had to replace the front brakes and the fuel injection pump all for the price of $900. Since then I havent had any problems. My friends and I take lots of road trips (college students, of course) and we always look forward to taking the Jimmy because of the comfortable ride. And believe it or not, my friends with newer cars actually prefer my car beause they feel it is roomier, more comfortable, and they feel safer!

  My Mistake - 1998 GMC Jimmy
  By NoMoreGMC - March 10 - 4:49 pm

  Bought used w/60,000 miles. So far replaced water pump, fuel pump, wheel hub assembly, windshield wiper motor & washer pump, brakes twice (rotors & all), right side mirror (bolts broke and it fell off), fixed various a/c leaks, a/c compressor, catalytic convertor. Power mirror motor has just died. Lots of quirky little electrical problems. Rear stereo speakers only work ocassionally. Cant use the rear windshield washer - it leaks into the back of the vehicle. Exterior paint chips easily. Sorry, I just dont have a lot of good things to say about this one. I just spent $1200 in repairs, so Im keeping it for another year (or until it breaks again)... then its bye- bye!

  Built to last - 1996 GMC Jimmy
  By carol griffin - January 27 - 1:10 am

  This SUV is truly a good automobile. Ive driven on large rocks and many unleveled consruction sites and I havent gotten stuck. With all the room in the rear, and the fold down seat, Ive even traveled a few times very comfortably. My SUV has been hit in the rear without damage. Thats when i realized that this SUV was built to last and is durable.

  Love my Jimmy - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By Carol Evans - January 2 - 6:35 pm

  I love the handling in snow and ice, the reliability starting in heat and freezing temperatures. Very responsive handling, good cargo room. I wish the gas mileage was better. This vehicle has a small gas tank just like the Chevy Blazer, and Chevy Trailblazer. This product needs better gas mileage and a larger tank or a hybrid design.

  Piece of Tin - 1997 GMC Jimmy
  By Beberday - January 2 - 2:45 pm

  While I enjoy sitting higher in a vehicle and having 4 wheel drive capability, this vehicle has been a disappointment. From riding like a lumber wagon, getting 17 mpg, road noise, no tire traction whatsoever (read: white knuckling it on ice/snow and Im from Minnesota and know how to drive) to the fuel gauge/thermomemter/CD player, etc., crapping out, I wouldnt buy a GMC again.

  Nightmare Finally Over - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By Hoosiersec - January 1 - 12:27 pm

  I finally unloaded my Jimmy. Took a big loss with trade-in. SUV was the biggest money pit I have ever owned. Performance through first three years was good, but as soon as the warranty expired, bang, the problems occured. GMC had to know this car was substandard by only offering the 3/36 warranty. Wheel bearings/ball joints went at 60k-dealer told me I was lucky, as he had seen them "as early as 14k." That was $1300. Other problems: drivers door joint fell apart/replaced rear window hatch rusted/replaced alt. replaced, etc. I maintained this car meticulously with no off-road. Much of the miles were highway. Reading other similar ownership reviews leads me to believe this car is a lemon!

  You are wasting your time! - 1996 GMC Jimmy
  By lifeiscars - December 31 - 2:33 am

  I bought the car as my first car. It has been a reliable car but when you put it in the shop you find out things that are wrong. Ive replaced the radiator, Ive replaced almost everything. Now at 120000 I have to replace oil hoses, brake lines, front suspension pieces, ball joints and so much other things.

  Go Bigger - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By cards1 - November 5 - 11:49 pm

  I purchased a 2001 GMC Jimmy because I wanted something bigger than the Plymouth Breeze I had. I was disappointed. The front seats were smaller and cramped at the feet. The radio is not very good. The back seat not really made for three. However, it drove nicely. I liked the high ride and engine power it provides. It also is easy to park and hasd great visability. It does feel like it leanes too much when going around curves though. Im not a big fan of the exterior either. I should have gotten an Envoy.
