I really liked the look of this vehicle, and have never regretted choosing it for my main transportation. I have been more than satisfied by the way it has performed for me since I bought it six years ago. I drive it daily to work, and on the weekends I use it to haul music equipment. I play a full-sized upright bass and by putting one of the backseats down and sliding the neck of the bass between the two front seats, it is a perfect fit. I think the gas mileage is very reasonable for a six-cylinder vehicle of this size. I only have to fill up the gas tank about twice monthly. The parkway which I drive daily has very short on- and off- ramps. My GMC Jimmy has the acceleration I need to feel safe when I am merging into traffic or need to get out of the way of another vehicle. I have only had two major repairs to deal with since I bought my Jimmy, and neither repair cost more than $500.00 At my local Firestone repair center. There have been minor things I have had to work around- the handle of the pull-cord that 'pops' the hood came off, but with a bit of homemade engineering I was able to fashion a new handle. One of the plastic doors for the seemingly superfluous overhead doors broke off, but that is hardly worth consideration. Overall, though there are minor problems with plastic bits breaking, the mechanics of my Jimmy are sound, the seats are comfortable, and the vehicle handles well plus has been very reliable.

My Jimmy is pretty old, so I know it is not going to work perfectly. I have a lot of problems with the car overheating. I have to add water and coolant in the radiator at least once every week. Other than that I like the it is still running and it is a durable car.

The engine quality was great. Car ran good and was very quiet. Good for hauling and towing. Showed great power when towing. Towed a big boat that I thought was too much for the truck, but it showed exceptional performance. There was no strain on the engine at all. Truck has good steering and carriage. I hate a car with bad suspension. This truck handled well on all types of terrain. Drove to Texas and Atlanta and experienced hills and snow for the first time. I was worried about how the truck would handle in those conditions. It passed with flying colors and I was very pleased with the traction on the roads and climbing hills and going down. Made me feel very confident that it would do well in all kinds of weather and road conditions.
