Denali 2WD - WOW!

We transitioned from a van and didn't want to decrease the interior comfort. The Denali is unbelievable - my wife has spent the last week learning all the programming. For buyers, the 2006 Denali is the only way to get V8/DOD, and is only $150 more than comparably equipped SLT version once you figure V8 price into it. Rear seats recline - Tahoe/Yukon don't. XL version allows for open 2nd row, with exit over main floor of car instead of wheelwell. Same price range as Honda Pilot but no comparison. This is true midpoint between full SUV and van. DVD headphones are cordless, BOSE speakers awesome, exterior look is clean.
Excellent Car

I had the 04 Envoy XUV, it was good but need something with seating so I got the Envoy Denali. It handles great in all kind of weather and is fun to drive.

Best Overall SUV for $45k or less

I test drove ALL SUVs that could carry 6+ passengers and drag at least 5,500 lbs. This is the best overall vehicle for the money. Reviews about the soft suspension tuning are right - which makes it ride extremely smooth on the road (which is where it will stay for most of its life). Big V-8 engine is great, with mediocre fuel economy. User selectable 2WD or 4WD and self- leveling suspension in the back are great. Interior quality is good. Getting the same vehicle in a foreign manufacturer would cost $10k more - with a dubious return on that investment.
Great Family Vehicle!

I wanted a smaller SUV...traded in my Ford Expedition, and decided on the Envoy Denali for my family vehicle, and also to pull our boat. It handles like a dream, and we don't even feel the boat when we're pulling it. The only complaint with the whole vehicle is the lack of legroom in the backseat when adults are in the front seat....otherwise a beautiful SUV!
Disappointing

I drove a 2002 Envoy for 50,000 miles-- Drove like a dream. For 1000 miles and 3 sets of tires this SUV handles very poorly on the expressway from 60-80 MPH. I would not recommend this SUV-- apparently GM thinks sloppy vibrating SUVS are acceptable. Trying to return under the Lemon Law. Not sure what they changed from 2002 to the Envoy Denali XL--just buyer beware. I regret that it is a miserable ride at higher speeds and my worst lifetime auto purchase. I would recommend that you buy something else until they fix this problem or GM begins to care about their consumers again.
