Despite what it looks like, it is working well and still in good shape.

My car is reliable and comfortable for me to sit in but it is rusting and not looking so good. I just had it fixed and the mechanic said it is in pretty good shape for its age

It is a basic car it gets me from point a to point B

This is a good vehicle I will buy another when the time comes a safe reliable vehicle all around

My jimmy is a great car, that will be running long after others have died.

My jimmy has been a good vehicle. It always starts in the winter. Heated leathers seats are great, warm and cozy. I like the styling better than some of the newer cars. I find that the older cars have better metal in the building of the cars. If you notice, a lot of the newer cars have big rust areas around the wheel wells. And rocker panels. My jimmy is as good as new because of the care I have taken of it. I don't want all the fancy gadgets added on that just adds to the cost of the car. More add on extras only make it likely that something will go wrong. I just want a good looking, economical, dependable car or truck. You cannot tell one car from another these days, they all look alike and they are poorly made. Why are there so many recalls for dangerous flaws in the manufacturing? The paint is not as durable as when they built the older cars. Buy an older car, so that you don't overpay for it. There will be time for the problems to have been corrected. You will also have a chance to get a consumer's report on the car you are looking a.

Has powerful engine. Comfort, able to pull boat or camper.

I love it. It's very comfortable. It sits up higher than smaller vehicles. Its old but I wish they still made them. I would definitely buy a newer one.

Size. Color red. The way it sits it's not too low to the ground or to high.

I like the room that it has, and it has a place to hold my glasses and drivers license and anything else extra I want to keep in it. To me it's the perfect size because I love trucks but needed more room so I bought this and I got it for nothing actually 150 bucks is all I have in it and it's not required a lot of work. I had the transmission rebuilt because the reverse had went out of it.

It is a really comfortable car, especially if you have to drive long distances.

The only problems had with the jimmy was the a/c unit wasn't cold. It would blow warm air. Performance wise it does great. It is really comfortable and the heated seats are a plus. Especially in the winter. Another feature I like is how you can program the driver seat to set how you want it whenever you get in the car.

2001 GMC Jimmy 100k miles!

This car is great! As old as it is, it just hit 100k mileage and is still going! Aside from the general upkeep, it hasn't given me too many issues.

I just love my old 2001 jimmy.

It's a great 2001 car that has just hit the 154000 mark and seems like it's time to start replacing multiple items, like brakes, idler arm and heater core. The body is rusted behind doors but no leakage to inside compartments. But I still love my jimmy.

Very bad car no likey Jimmy's are bad

Kalaine W

Unusual because it bad s back seat but couldn't use it

Body held up pretty well with only small amount of rust towards bottom. Unusable back seat due to the two doors and limited movement of front seat

Elsie H

The jimmy is a piece of c**p. It has seen better days.

My vehicle is older so it breaks down a lot. I enjoy that it's a bigger vehicle because I feel safer in it. It's spacious enough for our three dogs.

Kyle P

It's a great vehicle but can become unreliable.

It works pretty good it has good drive quality. Very comfortable fit not hard to drive. Very comfy. The back seats can get a little cramped but the truck area is pretty big. Thing is it broke down on me several times and I have know clue why. It has not worked in close to 3 years.

Stephanie A

It was a great deal, but now we see why. The front end and the door panels.

On the way home from buying the jimmy it broke down. We are having the front end replaced now. 4wd is stuck on and so far there has been a lot of small problems. The door panels are coming off. We are probably going to have to replace the battery and yeah, lots of small problems.

GM products last if you care for them. Keep fluids full, your oil changed and regular maintenance will last for years.

Drives well, could get better mileage. Altogether i'm pretty well satisfied. Been on the road for a lot of years and is still going.

GMC jimmy 2001 comfortable car

My care is old so it is starting to have problems. The engine keeps acting up. Car is sorta reliable these days. The seats are really comfortable and i don't really have any special features of the car . It gets me from point a to point b safely and that's all i really care about
