2005 GMC Envoy XUV SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Review
Rides like a dream. Looks exceptional, performs like a top of the line SUV should. Handles great in bad weather. OnStar gives me an added feeling of security, knowing that my wife and children are safe @ all times and just a push button away from help, allows me to rest easy. Sheer comfort! A joy to drive and plenty of room for all of us and our things. Towing capabilities are huge. I tow a 22 foot fishing boat with no trouble. The sliding rear roof feature has come in handy for my wife a couple times already. Bringing home large trees and shrubs for the garden, and I used it to bring home a new refrigerator. The only knock I could give, the gas mileage could be better.
Favorite Features
Towing capacity comfort ride is exceptional sliding roof dual heating and cooling zones looks really good handling in bad weather OnStar safety and ease of use cell phone hook up (hands free) sound system is awesome
Suggested Improvements
Better gas mileage, third row seating in the back

Review
After about 20,000 miles the check engine light came on then off. It does this reguarly about 1000 miles off and 100 on. By the time I get a dealer appointment it is off again. Other than that an excellent buy.

Review
This is the truck of all trucks. It is so versitile. It is also a fun vehicle too. I have a V-8 and it really adds to the preformance. Gas mileage is resonable.
Favorite Features
There are many favorites.... I love the way the tailgate opens in 2 directions. It will either swing open or lay down. Also the XUV came with compressed air. And last but not least, the style of the of the XUV the retracting roof over the cargo area. What could be more clever than that?
Suggested Improvements
This vehicle should have been advertised better. Since April I have been to Miami, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and LA, I have only seen one of these trucks. I see them all the time in my home town. I think that if this had been pushed more in other cities it could have been your biggest sellers.

Review
They poorly planned the console/CD holder area. It's not convenient or safe to use while driving. CD's do not go in and out easily
Favorite Features
Jam up Bose stereo and leather interior are awesome.
Suggested Improvements
Need to redesign enter center concole -- there's no room! Holds few CD's and very little of anything else.

2005 GMC Envoy XUV SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I love my Envoy XUV, but I do agree that the suspension is a little soft when cornering. My biggest complaint is that, for a woman, there are no little cubby-holes for stuff - sunglasses, pen, etc. There's the armrest, but that's not convenient to reach and dig around in when driving. There might have been a compartment over the mirror, except that with the XUV that has been taken up with the buttons to operate the moving parts. The other item is that there are tie- down rings, but not enough - you have to move them if you want it in another angle - couldn't GM just add all the tie-down rings? Other than that, I love my XUV.
Favorite Features
OnStar, heated seats for our cold Northern winters
Suggested Improvements
More pockets for stuff, More tie-down rings in back.

I love this vehicle. It is great--If I need hauling capabilities--it is there. Just driving--great. All around this car is the answer to having a truck when needed, but having a great vehicle to drive anytime.

Suggested Improvements
Just a little more room on console.
