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.
High Miles in an Envoy

I have put 160,000 miles on this Envoy since new. It had computer problems at 50,000 miles and it took three different dealers to find the problem. No issues since then. ery high level of features for the price. Very few compromises required. I moved from an Explorer to this GMC and it was like going from a Ford to a Cadillac in comfort, ride, and features. Handling is not that great, but on the highway it is limosine comfortable. The engine is adequate and the mileage with the original tires averaged 20 mpg. (Stick with the Michelins). I expect to put 300,000 miles on this Envoy.

Great SUV...but it's not a minivan

Got the SLE XL in hopes of replacing my minivan. Not a good idea. Yeah, it sits 6 adults...but I've got three little kids. Tumbling the second row is a pain, especially with all the car seats. Not a good idea. Now, in a few years it'll be ideal. And I love to drive it myself. My first GM product in a while (I swore myself off years ago after getting burned) so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
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.
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.
Mostly Great

We have 80,000 miles on our Envoy, and have have no major mechanical issues. We have had several annoying problems with door and hatch latches that have lingered.....again, not major, but annoying. Other than that the truck has been a perfect fit for an active family. Good size, good road manners, good performance, and has stood up very well to the wear and tear of family use.

The Envoy is the perfect size for my active family of five. Well designed for space, and ease of use. The engine and drivetrain are well matched yeilding a smooth ride with adequate power. We have had numerous small (but annoying) issues with the hatch latch, door locks, trim, etc....all small things. Other than that, very satisfied. Great family vehicle.
Great Test Drive

We have had our Envoy XL for 8 years. It has served as our family vehicle. It has help up well for the past 8 years but now it is starting to wear. EX: (Both heated seats broken, computer issues, load leveling suspension issues) We LOVE this car but realize that we have to get rid of it soon. Due to the load leveling suspension issue, the car will lower itself down to the ground while we are driving it or when it is parked, so we are reluctantly looking at the Acadia because we want the same reliability and quality of a GMC.
