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!

Vehicle handles well both on the highway and in shopping malls. The dispalcement on demand saves on fuel without any loss of performance. As a bonus the engine is E85 capable The nav system is easy to use and the xm radio makes trips more enjoyable.Third row seats provide plenty of extra room for the family and easily flip down to accommodate large packages. Interior is well designed and the front leg and headroom are more than adequate.

2006 GMC Envoy

2006 GMC Envoy XL SLT 4dr SUV 4WD (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

I purchased a GMC Envoy XL (SLT) in March of 2006. My criteria included stability control, 7-passenger seating, side curtain air bags, and decent towing. I also looked at the Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota 4 Runner, Toyota Sequoia, Ford Explorer, and Chevy Tahoe. I ended up choosing the GMC Envoy for a combination of value and capabilities. As an avid Consumer Reports subscriber I was hesitant in purchasing this vehicle but I am very pleased with my decision. I obtained a very good price with a combination of GM dollars, incentives and a discount from the dealer and the vehicle has more than met my expectations in providing a smooth and quiet ride into work with decent MPG.

Like the interior and dash layout. Love the way it drives, very quiet and feels solid. Looked for a long time for something with 3 rows that was not a V8 and was roomy enough for my family and their legs. This has fit the bill. First brand new car I've ever purchased.

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.
