I have 187,000+ miles on this Jimmy and now I am starting a few problem...ball joint, booster and I let the brakes go so now have to replace rotors. It has been one of the very best vehicles I've owned and it looks so nice, too. I love the small SUV feel, not boaty big. I have to face the fact that I will have to soon part with it and don't know what will be as good for that many miles. Absolutely no major problems and the motor still carries a strong oil pressure.

My Jimmy has been a great SUV to date. I have used the roomy storage for both work and play (moved several times, outdoor activities, etc). The seats fold down easily to provide flat loading area. Although the 2DR can be an obsticle to some, I still prefer it over smaller 4dr SUVs like a Jeep-- much more leg room in back! AC, brakes, and 4WD have been problamatic at times. Spare tire on rear has increased cost of rear-end accidents and burdensome over time. Interior and comfort features have maintained well over time.

I think this is a great SUV for a sixteen year old to drive. It gets around a 20 miles a gallon and with gas prices your kids will not be asking you for gas money. They are a fun truck to drive.
Good SUV

I have had my Jimmy for 5 years and bought it used. Overall it is a very dependable vehicle. A downfall of the Jimmy is that the spare fullsize tire is mounted inside the rear cargo area. I have had to remove the tre to make room for hauling some bigger items.
Best Vehicle I ever owned

Bought him in January 2001 and plan on keeping him until I die. I used to have a Jeep Wagoneer and lived off road but Jimmy did so much better off road and in mud and snow, he even swims. Most of his life has been off road and crossing rivers and creeks and exploring. He is my best friend and always takes care of me and I take good care of him too. He has now over 230 thousand and running strong. I do use a fuel additive every other fill because in about 2015 he started losing power, but it did the trick and he runs great.
