Overall, I like my Jimmy. It has been reliable and has not given me many problems. I have not quite 200,000 miles on it, and it only needs some minor things worked on it. The door pins on the driver's side have become loose, and it is now difficult to get the door to close all the way, but that is my only mechanical complaint. I have not had any problems with any electronics in the car. I have accidentally left my windows down during a rain storm, and all of my door electronics still work.
Story
One fun memory I have of my Jimmy is taking it mudding down the road from my house last summer.
Pros
It has pretty decent gas mileage. One tank of gas will give me about three hours of city driving. The interior is ergonomic and cozy. The vehicle drives great in the snow and can handle ice pretty well.
Cons
One thing I would like to change about my car is how the four-wheel drive engages. It has a button on the dash to switch between four- and two-wheel drive. I would prefer if it were a manual knob on the floor, that way I know it engages. Otherwise, sometimes it slips when engaging four-wheel drive. I also wish the warm air would be warmer. It takes a while for the air to get warm in the winter, and even then, it's a little cooler than I'd like it to be.

2001 GMC Jimmy - very happy

I was very happy with the Jimmy. The thing I liked most about it probably was the space because I moved quite frequently during the period when I drove it and I also worked in youth ministry so I needed open seats to drive kids around. The interior of the car was comfortable. One of my favorite things about it was the seat adjuster because I took a lot of long trips and it helped to make the long hours of sitting more bearable. The one thing I would have preferred was for it to have been manual rather than automatic because I like the control you have driving a manual. Accelerating, braking and handling all feel completely different in a manual transmission. I can't say that it was particularly fun to drive for this reason. But for an automatic car, it was pretty standard in all these... (more)
Pros
Stereo system Seat adjuster Space Working AC and heat (a plus considering the vehicle I'd had before)
Cons
Automatic Gas mileage
