Used 2003 GMC Envoy XL SUV Consumer Reviews
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.
I like it
Had two Jimmy's prior to this Envoy. Excellent results with both drove me to the Envoy. I'm 6'3 and this car provides ample room and comfort. 22mpg highway, 16 mpg city, as advertised. Handles well, is generally quiet and I found all controls very functional. Fit and trim pretty good.Overall vision is OK, hard to totally elimitate some peripheral blind spots. Thought the 6 cyl might be a bit underpowerd, but no problems with quick acceleration when needed. One recall with a tail light problem, and a problem with an A/C pressure switch.

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.
Ideal Family SUV
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.
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.
Best Car Ever !!
This car is the best ever. We use to have the older model,'92 GMC Jimmy SLE, it was a little bumpy, but once we got the new Model, we were hooked. Ours is a Pewter with the 3rd row. I just simply love it.
2003 Envoy 2WD
Have used the Envoy for 3 yrs and 60K miles and have found it to be reliable and confortable vehicle to drive. Towed a boat from NJ to Fl 2 times. The truck drives like a car the only repairs were a AC switch at 5K, brakes and tires at 55K I like the truck so I traded it in for a 2007 Envoy and the sticker price was less on the 2007 for more options than the 2003.
Do your homework!
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.
WHAT A DRIVE
This is my second GMC vehicle and I love it more than the last.This SUV rides like a car. Comfort is great.I love the I6 engine, plenty of power when you need it. So far it's been a blast to drive. I put about 25 to 30k miles a yr so comfort, power and reliability are very important to me and so far my Envoy XL has lived up to my expectations. Fuel ecomony so far is avg at best. Looking for mpg improvement as soon as the weather gets a bit nicer
