2004 GMC Envoy XUV SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I love everything about the Envoy XUV. It's extremely dependable both for performance and comfort My friends also say how comfortable it is to ride in and drive. I have a 2004 model and have never had 1 problem with it! And I have about 65,000 miles on it.
Favorite Features
It has so many useful features: OnStar, retractable roof, built-in air compressor, heated leather seats, multi CD player, mid section (you can hose out the back if dirty), moon roof, dual climate controls.
Suggested Improvements
The wind noise when driving 50+ MPH. And the CD console is too small.
Awesome

2004 GMC Envoy XUV SLT Rwd 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Review
OK, so this car was like my first car and it's so awesome! At first I thought since it was kind of big, and clunky, and costs a fortune to put gas in, (which it does), that it was going to be horrible. But, its so fun! I love how I can fit all of my friends in there, and just go out for a night on the town!! Its amazing! (I dont recommend it for older people though). But yea. Ive had it 4 6 months now and its been like a friend to me. The seats are comfortable, it rides smooth, and its gorgeous. And after my parents kicked me out of the house, I had to live in my car for like about a month, and its so comfortable to sleep in. I love this car!
Favorite Features
I love everything! I guess if I had to choose I'd pick the power seats!
Suggested Improvements
I think it needs to be a lot more gas-efficient.

Review
This is a great vehicle. Smooth riding and not too bad on the gas.17.5mpg average for 3 years. The only problems I've had have bee electrical and they have all been fixed with a minimum of time and under warenty. When you open the sunroof and put down the windows and rear top it feels like a convertible.

2004 GMC Envoy XUV SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I've driven this truck for nearly 3 years and love almost everything about it. It' the most versatile SUV on the planet. Whether it's taking my dogs to the beach, pulling a 7000-lb. boat, taking Boy Scouts on a campout, going skiing through feet of new snow, taking recycling to the dump or anything else, nothing handles it like the XUV. I got the V8 4x4 with air suspension, navigation, sunroof, heated seats, Bose, etc. Very comfortable, very reliable, gas mileage improves with age, retractable roof and a midgate with electric window (the way the Avalanche midgate should be!) allow for incredible shifts in function. Can't understand why GMC only made it the one year.
Favorite Features
Roof, air suspension, midgate, multi-function tailgate, reclining rear seats.
Suggested Improvements
Better interior storage, tailgate to open to 90 degrees, allow roof open with back window up.

Review
I owned a 2005 with all the bells and whistles and loved it. My son totaled it and walked away without a scratch on him. I was only able to find a 2004 to replace it that had some of the options I wanted. Would not have been satisfied with another truck style. Everything else I even remotely liked was over $50,000. One terriffic truck to own and drive. By the way the 2004 has a V8 that gets better milage then the six in the 2005.
Favorite Features
Roof, seats, and Bose XM radio

2004 GMC Envoy XUV SLE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I got the XUV to have a new vehicle to drive to my son's college graduation in May 2004. We fell in love with it during the trip. We had 3 rather large adults for the 1000 mile trip out to the college and we all were amazingly comfortable. After 3+ years the automobile continues to please the family. I have had it back to the dealership only for the recommended service at 6000 and 12000 miles. The OnStar phone has become a necessity. Beware the phone on my OnStar uses analog technology and will need to be upgraded to digital by 2008. This "conversion" costs about $400, but gets you OnStar telephone service for 3 years, which appears to be a good deal if you are going to use it.
Favorite Features
OnStar. Large cargo area that can be sealed off from the passenger area. Retractable cargo roof. Drivability. Comfort.
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage improvements and Flexfuel option. Passenger cup holders. Better visability to the rear. (The "blind spot" can be overcome by just inspecting what is in back of you before you get into the vehicle! Not an option for tail-gate drivers while driving though.)

2004 GMC Envoy XUV SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Review
Extremely versatile vehicle. I needed something that could double as a pickup truck, carry 5 passengers and still have the option of leaving open the rear area like a pickup. Large items can be placed in rear with moderate ease, and still be able to tow a reasonable Gross Vehicular Weight. Very comfortable drive but slightly underpowered with the V6 engine. When towing the V8 would be my choice now. Overall I can't think of another vehicle that would fit the need.
Favorite Features
Sliding roof in the rear that opens up like a pickup, yet allows the area to be completely enclosed and air conditioned. The window behind the rear seats allows for furthur options since it can be left open or closed. With the rear seats down you have a large cargo area.
Suggested Improvements
Needed option of electric seatfold inrear.

Review
My XUV is a very versitile vehicle. I love it for hauling dogs, tall cargo like trees from the nursury and other big or dirty stuff in the back cargo area. The passenger compartment is first class and comfortable. I love the automatic windshield wipers. I have the V8 version which has plenty of pick up and really goes. I think the fuel mileage is very good for the size of the engine and vehicle. I really will never have another vehicle without OnStar. When my lease is up I am going to get another just like it.
Favorite Features
The separate cargo area and the sliding roof over the cargo area. V8, leather seats, automatic windshield wipers, OnStar,4 wheel drive, XM radio.
Suggested Improvements
Driver Information Center should show gallons used similar to the DIC on the Yukon

Review
I bought my car last October and loved it until a month after having it I was in the shop with windshield wipers not working and other electrical problems. It is now one years old with 12000 miles on it and it has been in the shop 9 times. Check engine light keeps coming on, keeps stalling, and has had many parts replaced, such as egnishion, flush of fluids, they had to take apart my transmission, the brakes keep jumping, sometimes things work sometimes they don't. I love the look of the SUV but that is it! Too many problems for a Brand New SUV.
Favorite Features
Look of the outside
Suggested Improvements
Start over, needs a lot of help in to many areas. Do not feel safe (keeps braking down) I have two very young children I can not be stranded.

2004 GMC Envoy XUV SLE 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Review
This is a great all around SUV. I needed a pickup truck to haul things every now and then. So the XUV fit the bill, almost to a T. The only problem is you need to leave the tailgate down when hauling 8ft. drywall. But it's a great vehile. I recently, sold it because, I have Range Rover as my daily SUV and I have a pickup how to haul 8ft. stuff. If the Yuhon XL was avaliabe in an XUV, I would have one.
Favorite Features
The opening cargo bay.
Suggested Improvements
I would have extended the Envoy XL another 12-15 inches. I think this would have helped with sales of the XUV.
