I bought a 2000 Jimmy with a v6 and it was the worst vehicle I ever owned, sank alot of $$ in repairs and sold the pos at a huge loss. On the other hand I've owned several ford vehicles w/ the 2.3, several mopars with the 2.0, 3 jeeps with the 4.0, all of those were great values. put lots and lots of miles on and regular maintenance is all I ever needed to do. In my experience, its obvious and I won't be buying any GM vehicles
