Overall strong vehicle but has cost us a bit. After just over one year of ownership, the 4x4 feature started to fail. This lead to a complete transmission overhaul. $2400 there. Then within months, the fan clutch went for another $850. Less than one year now, the light is on again, what now? We already have the electronic circuit needing replacement. Apparently, that's to blame in the repeated blow out of the rear break lights. Great for camping or driving in snow/rain but you need to have some repair cash saved aside.

Renewed Faith in GM

I just purchased a new Envoy XL. What a joy to drive. GM has finally awoken to design and build a product that can compete with the imports. I looked at the Honda Pilot, Toyota's and Dodge. In my opinion, the Envoy is not only the best value, but puts GM back on the map with innovative design and what appears to be much, much improved quality. This vehicle drives so smooth. The Envoy proves that if GM listens to thier customers they can design and build quality automobiles and start attracting those buyers that would look to imports. Way to go GM.

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 just bought a White Envoy XL and I love it! The ride is so smooth. I love the space I have, even the third row passenger seating is roomy. I could not have picked a better SUV!

First time I ever bought an american SUV. Rides as good if not better than my Pathfinder and Lexus RX 300 did. So far I am very pleased. It is still early. Handles well in the snow and has plenty of towing power.

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.
