If I were you, I would stay clear of buying a 2002 Envoy. So far we have had this thing in the shop 5 times since we purchased it. It's been recall after recall and we have had to have this thing towed to the dealership 2 times because of re-occuring problems with the vehicle not being able to start or turnover at all. Haydocy's service department has been very slow and non responsive. They offer absolutely no restitution at all !!!

Great ride, marginal initial quality

We brought the Envoy XL for the smooth ride and 7 seating capability. Initial quality was a disappointment - required front differential kit, audio tuner, and mirror auto-dimming repairs before 10K miles. Since then the mirror auto-dimming has ovurred again but no other problems. Not sure if I would buy one again - dealer has been moderately helpful but was a real pain on the differential problem.

Great package as far as room, style, and garageability. Ride is very smooth and fine steering for a big package. Radio is great. BUT...this rig has more mileage going up on a service lift than on the road. Everything electronic keeps going wrong. 4WD system breakdowns, twice towed, lights and switches working as if possessed. The dealer acts as if we are crazy. When a modulator(?) broke, he actually said that if we brought the car back to the dealership for regular oil service, they can continually update the computer. Whaaaa? Mr Goodwrench is a fraud. Looks are deceiving. Avoid this car.

We purchased the Envoy XL with the 1SJ package. The ride in the Envoy XL is incredible. Bumps, train tracks are non existant. I am more than pleased with the comfort of all the seats. My kids love the DVD player. Callers on the cell phone have to ask if I'm driving because they don't hear any road noise. I'd tested the Explorer, Durango, Trailblazer and Highlander they don't compare to the XL. The best feature according to my wife is that it still fits in the garage. After all the research and time spent testing I know that we made the best choice.

The Best Vehicle I Have Ever Owned!

For a sport utility, the Envoy XL rides like a luxury sedan, and has all the comfort of some of the best luxury vehicles. It is easy to drive and rarely ever feel a bump in the road. My wife insists that her back feels better after riding in the Envoy. I originally intended on getting the Yukon, but after driving the Yukon it felt more like a truck and did not have the comfort of the Envoy. In addition, I do city driving and the Yukon is much wider than the Envoy, but the Envoy with a third row seat gives you the same seating without the bulky size. Overall, an EXCELLENT sport utility.
