1996 GMC Jimmy SLT review from North America

"The best for the money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I had to charge the air, cost $21.

Flushed the tranny, cost $39.

Power mirror fuse blew, cost $0.30.

General comments?

I bought this SUV because I'm sick and tired of paying out the nose for import parts (oh yes, you need them for imports also), in fact the Honda this Jimmy is replacing is STILL sitting in my driveway with bad bearings, seized air compressor, some freaky electrical problem that causes it to just STOP running AS YOU'RE DRIVING IT (pile of import junk if you ask me).

Now don't get me wrong, all these things can and should be fixed on the Honda, but why? The Jimmy is by far cheaper to maintain, looks better, drives better, any part I might need doesn't need a trip to the bank to dip into my saving account, and anybody that doesn't own their own creeper and grease gun shouldn't own a car in the first place. So you all go out and get your Honda SUV, and WHEN they puke on you and you can't afford what Honda thinks their parts are worth, just line it up behind my Honda, but hurry, my brother just towed his Civic over and I'm running out of room for the "more money than brains cars"
