Bought my Envoy brand new in 2005. Was my first car that had EVERYTHING I wanted on it. Absolutely love sunroof and satellite radio. Car has been very dependable. I've only had to replace belt and do routine maintenance. Very comfortable inside - especially on a 13 hr ride on vacation! Would definitely recommend this car! Lots of room for luggage and carrying capacity.
Terrible Vehicle. Repairs are frequent

Have sunk at least 15k into this vehicle for repairs starting from the fog lamps, the interior, and almost everything to the back windshield wiper. Have owned dozens of vehicles in my lifetime. I wouldn't sell this POS to my worst enemy. Update: I own 2 Jaguars which COMBINED have cost me less $$. I have sunk over $20K plus in repairs. Constantly in the shop. Silver lining . . . last repair would have been $3K . . . sold it for scrap for $300 . . . best financial decision I ever made!!

Highway MPG not as promised

I traded in my 2001 Isusu Trooper anniversary edition for the Envoy XL for the 3rd row and better highway mileage est. of 18 mpg., o4 better than I was getting with the trooper. I drive consistent hwy speeds for 39 miles each way and only maxed out at 14.2 mpg. Anybody else experiencing the same thing? I'm considering having the dealer look at this because that is the claim for city mileage not highway and will trade in the lease for something with better fuel efficiency.
A vehicle with great quality

I have been driving for over 60 years and have not found a vehicle that I have been more satified with. As far as I can determine after driving and close inspection I feel that the Envoy compare very well with any vehicle of Japanese manufacture. As a registered Quality Engineer, I feel that that in the Envoy the American manufacturer has met and exceeded the quality from Japan. I feel that anyone purchaceing the Envoy will be completely satisfied with the quality and workmanship on the GMC Envoy.
Love my new Envoy XL!

We traded in my Lexus GX 470 since we car pool a lot and frankly needed more room. I was worried that it wouldn't handle as well as my previous SUV. It's a gem. It rides so smooth and the interior is extremely comfortable.
