  Everything I expected - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By barr - August 7 - 8:39 pm

  I bought this SUV new from the dealership in 2001. I now have 90,000 miles on it. I get around 18 MPG city and 22 highway and I love to hit the gas. The biggest problem I had, was needing new tires at 28,000 miles. Was told that it helps keep the cost down to build them. This is a great SUV and will keep it for a long time.

  Jimmy - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By bat nedo - February 4 - 10:23 pm

  I bought this GMC Jimmy RWD with manual transmition. Very powerful for its size and also very quick. The 4.3L engine competes very well with many cars and I personaly am very impressed with it. The only thing I dont like about it is that the panels make some noises when going through bumps but I dont mind that.

  Good workhorse - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By capelt - January 26 - 8:24 pm

  I have been exceedingly satisfied with my Jimmy, having pushed it a bit further than most city dwellers might. It has hauled heavy loads cross-country more than once, and has performed almost as well as a full size truck (and coming from a ranching family, I know trucks). I have been a little disappointed at some of the electrical problems with the gauges. That said, I enjoy driving this truck very much, and it has responded well to every curve Ive thrown it, from rural snow drifts in Maryland, to rocky ranchland in central Texas. Its not a glamorous vehicle, but its a workhorse in true GMC fashion, and I plan to keep my truck for a long time to come.

  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.

  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.

  Nothing but trouble - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By fedude - June 2 - 2:00 am

  Let me see if I can list all the problems Ive had with this vehicle in just the last year. Tires at 15K, Wipers failed, Check engine light always on, Cruise failed, Been to the dealer about a dozen times for non- routine maintenance. Front end rattle. I had a Nissan pathfinder before this one and Im sorry I switched to a chevy.

  Comfy but Problemmatic - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Rande - October 12 - 2:00 am

  Purchased new in May 2001. First year was great. Starting the second year it has been a nightmare. Wiring went faulty, car woulnt start, lights flickered and eventually stalled in traffic. Ball joints (all) replaced 4 times and Im taking it in for a fifth. Control arms, idle arm, battery, alternator, and tires have all had to be replaced. GMC does not stand behind this vehicle so Ive had to flip the tab for rental vehicles.

  I would buy another one tomorrow - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By mtjhiggs - May 16 - 2:00 am

  This truck is exactly what I expected. The people who are complaining about it, obviously bought the wrong vehicle. This vehicle is the perfect mid-size SUV. Performance, ride, gas mileage, and quality are exactly as expected with this vehicle. The selling/ servicing dealer can make all of the difference.If buying one, definately go for the DiamondEdition interior. The comfort is well worth the extra money. Only problems have been, 4x4 switch went bad and fog light had water leaking into it.

  Underrated American SUV - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Steve Sherrod - May 10 - 2:00 am

  Four wheel drive with the touch of a button. Comfortable cloth power seats, great moonroof, Bose stereo, and gas milage is good-- I average 18 mpg in city traffic and much better on highway. Complete instruments on dash are eash to read. Cruise control is straightforward. Dealer service was quick (overnight) with free rental car for minor recall and one leaking seal.

  Stands the test of time - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By JJMSpartan - March 5 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned this vehicle for a little over 2 years, and its still a great family vehicle. It has all the features youd ever want, and the build quality is excellent. It rides well and handles well in all weather conditions. In all, an excellent vehicle.
