its good and reliable. get it or be sorry. there is nothing that this thing can not do. it handles perfectly, heats and cools without problems and gets some of the best gas mileage that i've seen for an SUV. looked at Pilot, Trailblazer, Yukon, Explorer, Durango and 4Runner. This vehicle tops all the others. It run perfectly and while being an american made car hardly shows it. HERE'S TO THE REBIRTH OF AMERICAN QUALITY CARS.

Did a lot of research, and loved driving this truck. Very smooth, feels like a luxury car. Had an Explorer and Volvo before, this absolutely trumps them in performance and style.

Envoy Experience

The Envoy XL is an outstanding luxury SUV with lots of room for full grown children (6' plus) and adults. The ride is outstanding and better than any luxury car (mercedes, cadillac, buick). Love the moonroof feature with the tinted glass and being able to open up. Superb handling in a SUV. Have had a great experience with the car, but... have had a "Service Engine Soon" light. The dealership has worked on it 4 times and it keeps appearing, but the SUV has not shown ANY degradation in performance and handling. GM has said this is one of only four to have this problem. Other than the light, I have loved driving it, and plan to continue to or have another.

My wife and I were looking for a big vehicle for all of our hauling and the two children and their friends. We had the opportunity to drive the Envoy and fell in love. We were a little concerned with the Six Cyl 4.2 Engine but WOW are we impressed now. We have never felt like more power was needed and the fuel economy is outstanding!! I have friends that have driven these veh's hard and the mileage is in line with the V8 models but I drive very conservativiely and love the ride. You drive this truck like you should with precious cargo on board and you will love the ride, power and MPG!

I was concerned the Envoy XL would be too large for me, but it handles so well, it was as comfortable as my old car. The feeling of safety and security is great. I feel very secure driving my Envoy because I can see traffic so well. GMC did a great job on the interior - very luxurious!

Just an overall joy to drive and be a passenger in. Sails along like a fine day on the Potomac river. We love the XM radio, OnStar and other conveniences on the vehicle. And the color is "RED" What more can we say, except, we highly recommend looking at them and buying one or two.........

Super truck that gets it done for the whole family. Storage and functionality is fantastic. The truck also looks great even though there are many of them on the road. Personalization is also key with grill add-ons that make it look even better. I am very happy with the Envoy.

Wonderful vehicle. Ride is top notch. Had a Honda Pilot for a while but there is no comparison between the Honda and the Envoy. Build quality is every bit as good as the Honda and it is much more comfortable. You really can put 7 adults in the truck and take a long trip!

I traded in an 01 Toyota Sienna for this Envoy because I got tired of the mommy van. I looked at the Honda Pilot first and thought I was ready to buy, then I looked at the Envoy XL, and there was no comparison. The vehicle is very comfortable and the interior is very inviting. The Pilot interior seemed smaller and not comfortable at all. There are also better rebates when you buy domestic! Foreign cars do not offer these great rebates! I saved a lot of money and it was well worth it! This seats 7 people very easily. I have even sat in the 3rd row myself on a long drive and there is plenty of legroom for adults. I had a DVD system put in for the kids and its perfect! I love this vehicle!

Great American made SUV. it rides like a Caddy. Bose sound system, leather heated seats and sunroof are 5 Stars. Gas mileage is a let down and I believe people need to get loud on this subject. Take care of your customers and they will come back for more.

My husband bought my 2004 GMC Envoy XL from a Chevrolet Dealer but it was a tester from GM. This meant I had every option on my Envoy. Although at the end of this year I will probably trade-in I might get another Envoy XL. I also like the 7 seats for when I'm hauling my grandkids.

This vehicle has some great features. I really like it. However, it has had some huge electronic issues such as the fuse module welding itself to the brain of the vehicle (almost a fire hazard), constant AC problems in both the forward and rear modules, and many other problems. Should have gone with Europe/Japan, will know next time.

My husband bought me my Envoy XL as a GM demo. I love my Envoy XL. I have every option available and have had limited problems. I also like having seven seats to haul my grandkids around. Everything about my Envoy says luxury automobile.

We've had our Envoy XL SLT for 3 1/2 yrs and we are trading it off today. We love this car, and it is so comfortable and roomy, but I have been out of work now for a couple of years with health issues, and we cannot afford the high payments any longer. We were on the top when we bought it, but not any more. We held out as long as we could. Also, with the gas price craziness, we cannot afford the 16 mpg. I will be so sad when we drive off the lot and leave it there, but I will be so happy to have lower payments. My grandchildren loves this car too! To all of you that can continue to drive your Envoy XL SLT, we are happy for you.
