I have owned my Envoy for 7 years, I have 51,000 miles on it. I love the ride and the comfort. I did have one problem that cost me $700. I plan on keeping my Envoy for many more years. I want to thank GMC for making a quality SUV. I manage to get around 18 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway, I have never had a heavy foot so I believe that is why I get better mileage than most other owners.

What a great vehicle. I bought this one for my wife and I am now considering getting rid of my BMW 528 to get another. I got an LT with every option available and it was worth it. So many creature features make the Envoy a must drive. I must say that I was impressed with Burns Pontiac in Marlton - it was a no haggle environment and you only pay 2.5% over invoice.

To this SUV is easy to get into and out of, low the ground. Fun to drive and easy to park in any space. It is smooth on the highway and handles great. This is the first SUV I have driven and definetly will not be the last. The reason for buying this one was the styling and the third row seat. Then after test driving it, I was sold. Knowing about the safety features, side air bags, etc. also helped make my decision. I would recommend this SUV to everyone. I'm only 5'2" and it is very comfortable for me. My father is 6' and there is plenty of shoulder and head room.

After selling the Plymouth Voyager mini- van we were ready for a family vehicle that was fun to drive. Our new Envoy XL is great for getting groceries, going hunting, and hauling around the kids plus friends. I have long legs and my wife has short legs so the position memory for the seats is great. The great stereo, leather interior, rain sensing wipers, and onstar make it a great ride for a long road trip. We had some problems with the transmission, but GM has replaced it with a new one (after atempting a fix that didn't work).

After owning the Envoy XL for a little over 2 years I am happy with it. Except for the minor electrical problems with the memory switch and radio the truck suits our needs. Handling and power are fine and the room is more then enough for shopping trips. On long travel trips it is comfortible and easy to drive. Overall I am glad I got the Envoy XL instead of the competitors. Looking forward to trading up to the Denali Series.

I have had the Envoy XL for a month now. Looked at just about everything in it's class, but chose the Envoy after a test drive. What a ride! It's as smooth and quite as anything we looked at. My only complaint is the absolute shock over the horrible gas milage. Our first tank was a trip to Denver and back. It barely got 17 mpg. The most recent tank has been all city, 10.8 mpg. The dealer tells me the oxygenated fuels we are forced to use in the winter really hit the gas milage. But it hurt to fill up that tank at $1.80/ gal.

I am very pleased with my Envoy XL. I've driven Suburbans for years and had some reservations about purchasing a smaller SUV. I was immediately impressed with the way the Envoy handled and the solid feel of the vehicle. It's safety features and styling were very appealing to me when I began considering this vehicle. The Envoy SLT has numerous amenities that make it a luxurious ride and the practicality that I need in an SUV. Although the fold down third seat creates a minor obstacle in loading, the rear cargo area is spacious. The Envoy XL is a superb vehicle.

We ordered our Envoy from the factory with everything we wanted at the SLE trim level, and outside of a fairly early problem with the A/C (took four trips to the dealer to finally fix it), we have been very satisfied with our choice. The zero % financing was a definite plus as well.

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.

Compared all of the six to seven passenger vehicles including Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota and the features of the Envoy, looks, comfort and towing capacity was superior to others. Dealer discounted substantially with approx. 8k off of MSRP. Much better value than overpriced alternatives with less options. Good ride, lots of power, all amenities and options for same price as an LX Honda Pilot. GM's low financing rate is less too.

Had two Jimmy's prior to this Envoy. Excellent results with both drove me to the Envoy. I'm 6'3 and this car provides ample room and comfort. 22mpg highway, 16 mpg city, as advertised. Handles well, is generally quiet and I found all controls very functional. Fit and trim pretty good.Overall vision is OK, hard to totally elimitate some peripheral blind spots. Thought the 6 cyl might be a bit underpowerd, but no problems with quick acceleration when needed. One recall with a tail light problem, and a problem with an A/C pressure switch.

I like my first GM purchase. The V-8 has a lot of power. In comparison to all the SUVs out there within the price range, the Envoy beats them all in terms of price, features, power, and comfort. The Envoy rides much smoother than the Expedition, Tahoe, or Sequoia.

I've had this SUV for over 6.5 years, have 95,000 miles and never had any major issues. There were a couple of recalls early on but I've had it paid for over a year now and have never had to take it to the shop other than an oil change and only 2 tires. I haven't even had to replace the brakes yet. I have no plans on replacing this car. I plan to drive it until it dies and hopefully that will be for another 95k miles.

I was excited when I bought my first SUV. It was loaded and had everything I ever wanted in an SUV. The problem I have with the Suv is the seats are soooo uncomfortable, and the electric seats don't move very far in an upright position. I feel I am in a recliner while I am driving. I am used to a car with firmer seats and electric seats that go in all positions. $30,000.00 and my back hurts every time I get out of the car.

Bought it for room. That it has! Mileage is constant 15 - 16 mpg city driving. Especially nice is the rear heating zone separate controls, AutoVolume radio, cassette, CD player. Heated outside rearview mirrors, etc, are ergonomically perfect. Love the 8- way power seat with lumbar support, individual seating lighting, etc. Handling is strong and decisive, and the 4-wheel drive is sure and simple to use. Had considered the Buick Rendezvous, but the wife preferred the GMC Envoy styling.

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.

This is my second GMC vehicle and I love it more than the last.This SUV rides like a car. Comfort is great.I love the I6 engine, plenty of power when you need it. So far it's been a blast to drive. I put about 25 to 30k miles a yr so comfort, power and reliability are very important to me and so far my Envoy XL has lived up to my expectations. Fuel ecomony so far is avg at best. Looking for mpg improvement as soon as the weather gets a bit nicer

Have used the Envoy for 3 yrs and 60K miles and have found it to be reliable and confortable vehicle to drive. Towed a boat from NJ to Fl 2 times. The truck drives like a car the only repairs were a AC switch at 5K, brakes and tires at 55K I like the truck so I traded it in for a 2007 Envoy and the sticker price was less on the 2007 for more options than the 2003.

This is one of the best rides I have experienced in an SUV (of the ones I could afford.) The suspension is incredibly smooth for such a powerful engine. This SUV has many luxury features without having to pay the luxury price. The front has great passenger head room and leg room easily allows for a 6'2" passenger to stretch out. However, the leg room in the second row seems a little tight. The only drawback is the gas mileage. I feel like I am always putting gas in this vehicle. All in all, this is an exceptional vehicle that gives this family man a little ego boost when driving and provides good features for the family to enjoy the ride.

Just bought the Envoy XL SLE. I love it, but it's not a minivan. I bought it with the idea that my wife and three kids (2, 4, and 6)would use it. Great idea...it sits way up high, handles/rides superbly, nice quality (and I am leery of GM products) but the execution didn't pan out. The Envoy is too tall for her to get in (solved: purchased running boards), doesn't have nearly the functionality (cubby holes, cup holders), and the tumbling seats are a nuisance to pile into/out of every time for my three little kids. Don't get me wrong, I like the XL...but it's not going to work out for the "wife car".

I have put 160,000 miles on this Envoy since new. It had computer problems at 50,000 miles and it took three different dealers to find the problem. No issues since then. ery high level of features for the price. Very few compromises required. I moved from an Explorer to this GMC and it was like going from a Ford to a Cadillac in comfort, ride, and features. Handling is not that great, but on the highway it is limosine comfortable. The engine is adequate and the mileage with the original tires averaged 20 mpg. (Stick with the Michelins). I expect to put 300,000 miles on this Envoy.

Got the SLE XL in hopes of replacing my minivan. Not a good idea. Yeah, it sits 6 adults...but I've got three little kids. Tumbling the second row is a pain, especially with all the car seats. Not a good idea. Now, in a few years it'll be ideal. And I love to drive it myself. My first GM product in a while (I swore myself off years ago after getting burned) so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.

We have owned the truck for 4 years and 80,000 miles. Love the overall design and size...perfect for a family. Engine and drivetrain are smooth as silk, and make driving this big vehicle more enjoyable. We have had many small and non-critical problems....door handles, tail gate, power window relay, weatherstripping....etc. Overall very satisfied, but the small things can be annoying at times.

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.

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.

I have only had my Envoy XL SLT for only a week but it is a great vehicle so far.This is my 3rd SUV and bye far this is my favorite so far. I have had a 1999 Durango loaded and a 1996 Nssan Pathfinder and this beats them both hands down. The Envoy rides much smoother than either one of them and is very much quieter than the other ones. Well we will see if the gas milage will be what they say it will be. Very impressed with the 6 cylnder with 275 horsepower. My Dodge was a V8 360 and only had 245 horsepower and averaged 16 miles on highway and 12 in town. Well this is my first GMC and hope it will be a great experience for my family.

After looking at the full size trucks (Suburban,Tahoe,Yukon)I decided that the Envoy was the truck. We have had it for 4 months now and are very happy. This truck rides so smooth. Its like riding in a town car. I opted for the V8. There is no shortage of power. I loaded mine up with about every option and walked away with the truck for 38,000...Better than 50,000 for a Denali. The rear seats are more comfortable and have more leg room that the other full sized trucks. The interior is nice than its sisters (Chevy) I own a 2002 Mustang vert and a 2001 Dakota pick up and I always find myself driving this truck over the other 2.

I've had my Envoy XL for a bit over a month...however I do about 3,000 miles a month so I've had some time to get to know it. This vehicle is extremely comfortable, especially for a person like me who does many highway miles. I like the interior features of the vehicle. Everything is truly at your fingertips. As I mentioned...I do a great deal of highway mileage so my average MPG is about 17.9, which is much better than other SUV's I've owned. Oh, by the way...I have the V8. My business partner bought one a week later with the V6 and is averaging worse mileage under the relatively same driving habits.

Owned now for almost 1 year, everything is GREAT except: One recurring problem is with the automated sideview mirrors. They have replaced the part that is supposed to provide a curbview when you put the SUV in reverse. Also had a problem with my dashboard lighting going out which turned out to be a 3 day problem to fix. Also had a problem where in the mornings, I would step on the gas peddle, the SUV would rev up very very loud, but the tach may only show perhaps 2500rpm's, and the Envoy would barely move, then it would just go away. They did a fix, and haven't had the problem since.

Have put 5,000 of vacation miles in 3 mos. Ride,acceleration, and gas mileage (19-21 with V8) much better than expected. With cartop carrier and 4 adults, had plenty of room and power. Did not notice numb steering or drifting that reviews mentioned, was terrific on open road and freeway at 65- 75mph. Wife is former mini-vanner and loves it. Came with all options.

We have had our Envoy XL for 8 years. It has served as our family vehicle. It has help up well for the past 8 years but now it is starting to wear. EX: (Both heated seats broken, computer issues, load leveling suspension issues) We LOVE this car but realize that we have to get rid of it soon. Due to the load leveling suspension issue, the car will lower itself down to the ground while we are driving it or when it is parked, so we are reluctantly looking at the Acadia because we want the same reliability and quality of a GMC.
