It's paid off and no money is owed on it. I paid cash for my Jimmy
I like that it gets good mileage and still has pretty good power going up hills

A great vehicle to have in winter months in Wisconsin.
My jimmy is very comfortable driving. Great for long road trips. It has 4 wheel drive which is awesome in winters in Wisconsin. Lots of room and storage space. The stereo has great sound throughout the vehicle. The only problem I have had since I bought it is the 02 sensor goes out a lot. Overall very great vehicle. Power doors and windows. Rear defroster.

Good to go. Long rides okay.
Needs shocks. Runs good. Could drink a little less gas. Good to go on long trips. Enough space to put cages for chicken.

People should know that a GMC Jimmy was built to last this truck is fantastic
I love this size of the truck it has me higher up then a car but isn't giant like a truck. Great mechanics I haven't had any major problems in all the years i've owned this vehicle. It drives smooth it's just a great vehicle and i love it

It fits 5 people comfortably. It is great on gas mileage.
Not enough leg room. Rides easy. It is a 4x4 and still good on gas. Awesome AC and heat. Good radio.

Negative Owner Reviews

Several new parts in the past 9 months.
Like it because it is 4 wheel drive. It has a tow hitch. Room in the back to transport items such as boxes, building materials etc. Dislike because it is falling apart. Not very good gas mileage. Door does not shut all the way. Lots of rust.

5 seats, big back, about 18 miles a gallon.
There are lots of issues. AC doesn't work, brakes are loud, let's water in, etc.I bought this cafe for $500 but for all the amount I have been spending to repair things I could have very well gotten another, better vehicle. It's not an absolutely bad car but it's not very luxurious either.
accountCircle Tyler G
The vehicle rides very smoothly which is something I really enjoy in a vehicle.
It is a great car if maintenance is kept up. Mine is only a pain because my uncle had it sitting for a couple years so I get the pains of fixing all the problems its running through.
accountCircle Lillian S
Poor suspension it's a very uncomfortable ride.
Don't like the way it handles the road. Gives a very rough ride not comfortable. Not good gas mileage.
accountCircle Dallas A
I really like my car you should to
I really like my car. It is easy to fix and has decent gas mileage. I recommend buying one to any person looking for a dependable car
accountCircle Emma C
It was a used car gifted from my neighbors for my 16 birthday.
I like the way it drives. I do not like the way it looks. There is not enough space inside. I do not like the push 4wd.

American made long lasting Good for a long haul for most people.
So it is been an old hand to me. However it is definitely seen better days and it is time to look into purchasing a new one
accountCircle Austin F
It's best for short term traveling, rather than going out of state or some such.
I like this vehicle because it has proved to be reliable, but it has its fair share of issues -- such as, but not limited to, rapid gas consumption, faulty radio and tricky air conditioning.

Great 4 wheel drive vehicle with no problems.
We have fixed several problems on this vehicle so it is in great shape, not rust well maintained. Used as " work " vehicle for past 5 years. Seats in very good shape good ride. Has been equipped with hand controls. Has never been in an accident. Miles are on this car but has been very well maintained so that is not a problem. 4 wheel drive works great. You can have lots of fun in the mud or snow!
