Used 2003 GMC Envoy XL SUV Consumer Reviews
I love my Envoy!
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.

03 Envoy XL
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.
Awesome SUV
By far the best SUV I haved owned. Haven't had a chance to tow anything with it yet, but it will get a workout in the spring with the boat and camper.
Not Bad...Actually Pretty Good!
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.
Good purchase
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.
Love it!
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.
Where is the comfort?
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.
Smooth, Roomy, Comfortable
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.
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.
