I Like It So Far

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.

While this review covers the VORTEC V-8 in my envoy, the inside materials are really of sub standard quality compared to other vehicles in this price range. I must say that im not as happy as i would have been and hope that GMC will change these in the future ..as they say we are professional then use pro parts.

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.

This is a great riding SUV! I love the power. The SLT has all the amenities. Hey what is up with Charlie? Maybe he should be test driving a buick? Yes, the SUV is a truck! A rugged one!

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.
