Excellent handling in snowy conditions. I've repalced in the five years owned the water pump, breaks, rotars, Thermostat, wheel bearings, tires, a/c condensor, fuel pump, alternator, fuel gauge & battery. It has over 130,000. miles on it and runs great. With the money I've put into it I feel like I have a whole new suv. What else could go wrong? I love my Jimmy! Comfort and ease. Love all the little gadgets and stereo system on the steering wheel. Bose stereo! Excellent system.

I have had my Jimmy for about 4 years now and I have had some basic problems check engine lights on and no one can figure out why, blew a head gas get. I have been good to it always get oil changed on time. It feels like the car is made of plastic and it makes terrible noises when you drive. I guess all in all it been OK to me. Also terrible gas mileage I don't even want to check and see what it is now with gas $4

This car has been nothing but one problem after another. Bought it for my wife to haul the kids around in but it seems like im working on it more than it runs. We have replaced rear end, month later the transmission went out, next the fuel pump quit, then the lock quit working, and now the thing wont start half of the time. Had it checked today and its the spider coil. It has been nothing but a money pit.

When I first bought it off the dealership I had to have them replace the thermostat, radiator. I haven't had any big problems since then, but it does seem like it's slowly slipping. They charged way to much money for this SUV and it's a gas hog!

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. I'm not a big fan of the exterior either. I should have gotten an Envoy.
