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.
NO TIME 4 WHEEL DRIVE
IN A SNOW STORM W/MY 2&4 YR. OLD KIDS I FOUND OUT THAT THIS BRAND NEW BIG HEAVY CAR HAD NO 4WD.IT WAS A BLESSING WE DIDN'T DIE!!! WE TOOK IT TO BE FIXED THE PART WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL MID- FEB!!! THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM W/THIS CAR.. I LIVE IN NJ SO IF IT SNOWS I HAVE NO CAR! LOVELY....NEVER AGAIN IN 4 YEARS IT'S BACK TO TOYOTA!!!!!!PS. WE GOT A SURVEY ASKING ABOUT WHAT DOESN'T WORK..
Good vehicle but cheap interior
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.
Great Mid Size
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!
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.
