Used 2003 GMC Envoy XL Consumer Reviews
Loving it so far...
As a mom with 3 kids under 6 years old, I needed something that could comfortably accomodate all of us and all our stuff. I had grown tired of my mini-van and longed for something fun to drive. After an accident in the mini-van, I was forced to rent a car while the van was in the shop. I told the rental person I needed something with 3 rows. Enter the Envoy...I had it for a week. There's no better test than trying it for that long. We'd always driven foreign cars and really seriously thought about buying the Envoy since we really needed another car to fit our large family. The financing deal was too good to pass up and so far, we are very happy.
Ideal Family SUV
I drove every competitor and near competitor, and this was the most versatile SUV of all. Get ECAS for leveling the ride. It delivers superior performance, comfort, driveability, and features. Better gas mileage with more horsepower and torque than most. Comfortable and easy to drive while relatively quiet. Load it with features and still pay less than many competitors and a total cost of ownership reviews less than any of its competitors.

Horrendous City Gas Mileage
City driving is a disaster. 12.5 mpg using premium fuel (and I drive conservatively). This is awful for a six cylinder engine. It is a beautiful vehicle, but it "squeaks" and gets (in my opinion) lousy gas mileage. I can't wait for the lease to expire.
Best Car Ever !!
This car is the best ever. We use to have the older model,'92 GMC Jimmy SLE, it was a little bumpy, but once we got the new Model, we were hooked. Ours is a Pewter with the 3rd row. I just simply love it.
Did I purchase a lemon?
First the winshield wipers (recall) goes out during a thunderstrom in middle of a highway at night. Second, the rear glass (incorrectly "glued" metal piece to the glass) breaks the metal hinge, causing the entire glass to tilt in all angles. Mechanic then tries to bill us $2,600 to fix, stating that the car was struck in the window while the rear window was open. Someone tell me how a rear window can be struck by an enormously high vehicle and not manage to break the glass...let alone not put a scratch on the vehicle.
