"Its a very reliable car for the winter ive never been stuck before but the gas mileage at least for mine is non to be desired. 10 miles per gallon is not what im looking for. Although i love this car and will most likly have it for a while that is just one thing that i wish i could change."

"I am proud of my 1994 GMC Jimmy 4D. Like others have indicated, it is a go anywhere/anytime vehicle. It is reliable. I have customized wheels off of the older 1983 GMC S-15, and they look awesome. Remember the 1983 S-15? This was one of the first vehicles I fell in love with and it still stands showboat alongside its rivals. My 83 S-15 is a bit rusty now but talk about dependability, I've brought that thing home without a clutch. The 1994 GMC Jimmy was sort of an accident to fall into but now that I own one, I love to drive it and show it off. The 1994 GMC Jimmy was the final year of the flat nose front, with the 1995 Jimmy changed to the ugly sloped front (i.e. my opinion). These vehicles are rare so if you can find one in good condition, I suggest you buy it and try it out. Some say that you have to be a mechanic to own one but that's not true. All vehicles need to be maintained and the 1994 GMC Jimmy was no different. If it idles rough, change the EGR valve and away you go."

Amazing Reliability

By K9 Trainer (NE) on Wednesday, November 23, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 235,000

Pros: "Compact easy for tight spaces. Cold weather Beast!"

Cons: "Cup holders are a joke. Door handles seem fragile."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This car is one of the most reliable cars Ive ever owned. It may not be new or shinny anymore but in -20*F weather this motor fires better than my 2010 diesel truck that has been inside the garage and plugged in. With four wheel drive and some aggressive all terrain tires the car never gets stuck because of how light weight it is. With all that it still gets about 20mpg mixed city/highway driving with a pretty heavy foot on the accelerator. I'm proud to have a car like this."

Great Car

By Lexy (TX) on Sunday, November 20, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 140,000

Pros: "4wd reliable and fun, safe feeling"

Cons: "pieces are expensive to replace, like window motor"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"We've owned our Jimmy for years and LOVE IT. We feel safe in the metal cage. Little problems have happened over time, but nothing major until this year (it was made in 1993). Highly recomend this car. The only problem regularly is that the engine is a different shape so mechanics take longer getting to things, like changing the oil. Brakes were easy to replace ourselves."
