I had a 97 Jimmy that I loved, I saw the new Envoy and wasn't impressed at first, then I drove it, that was all I needed to do. The ride is excellent you would think you were riding on air. The appearance is beautiful.

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.

Terrific handling and design of features

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
