I have over 250,000 miles on my one-owner Envoy. Too bad they don't make them anymore, or I'd buy another one!

Love this truck. It is roomy, comfortable and fun to drive. Doesn't drive like a truck, but more like a car. Had my Envoy for almost a year and no big problems. Had one recall, no big deal. The dealer fixed it and treated me very, very well. Expected problems with them , but had none. Gas milage sucks. I would buy it again and recommend it to everyone.

It has been a reliable and especially comfortable vehicle for me. You could not ask for more options with the SLT package.

1 of 2 people found this review helpful
I have bought 8 new vehicles in the last 5 years, 3 of them from GM , all of them have been nothing but trips back to the Dealer. My new Envoy $37,325 peice of junk, wipers stopped working twice in the middle of a snow storm (replaced censor) the front bumper had to be reattached the AC stopped working. The rattles underneath sound like the truck is old. (4800)The front drivers seat Squeeks and now a recall that the engine block could crack and the electrical system (dash board) could fail, Two recalls in the same month. I have only 4800 miles on this truck and I just sold it for a TOYOTA, never again GM.
Good, but could be better.

I am a commuter who drives 35 miles each way for work. I like the size of the car and that it has room to carry most items but is small enough to look sporty and it gets acceptable gas mileage. The interior is fine except for one area, its arm rests are hard plastic and are very uncomfortable during long drives. The model has had several recalls, none of which were serious for me. I am able to use regular gas without problem. I am concerned about the long term expectency of the aluminum alloy engine. GMC did OK but the hard plastic arm rests and the recalls make me think they were not as professional as they claimed and could be better.

$32,000 down the drain!!!! have been working the last few weeks trying to get a buyback from GMC. this suv has been in the shop at least once a month since i bought it...all for the same problem. they can not seem to fix the problem (service engine light is on) i've drove a loaner for 8 days in 3 weeks....picked it up again today. im tired of spending at least one day a week at dealer... i spent over 32,000 on a car i expect it to work! i expect that they will know how to fix it. i would NEVER EVER buy another GMC again.

The only thing we did not like about the vehicle was that the passenger's seat belt would always lock up and not release. The dealer fixed this with a seat belt extension.

Having driven this car for 20k miles,I'm getting rid of it. It is very uncomfortable, has poorly designed interior features, handles slugglishlyt and is lousy in deep snow and offroad. Many things have broken, fallen off, or were installed incorrectly. Quality is poor for the hefty price. Never again!

Just a few weeks into buying an envoy, the piston cracked and the whole engine and new style of piston had to be replaced. 2 weeks in the shop already. Anyone else had this problem? Like the truck, except the cheap fake wood grain dash.
Love My Envoy!

This is a true luxury SUV for the same price as the mediocre ones. You get features with this vehicle that I couldn't have even imagined a few years ago. We love the memory seats and mirrors! We have had no problems like those mentioned by others...maybe GM has worked out the bugs on the later models. I also drove the Durango, and this SUV is much more refined and a lower price! I feel like a millionaire driving it...no wonder it beat out even the Mercedes SUV in the motortrend competition!
So far so good... Love my Envoy

I bought my Envoy SLT in Jan 2002. It is loaded. We really shopped around and I liked the looks and ride of it the best. It is a real fun car to drive and handles well. Have almost 7k miles with a few problems and holding my breath. Love the seat recall as my husband is taller than me, Bose system is great! Like the dash, very functional.Smoothest ride around.Turning radius is great.
Envoy Rocks!

This vehicle is wider and taller than the prior model year, and the interior is as comfortable as you could ever expect in an SUV. The performance is fantastic, given the inline 6's output above even the V8's offered in this class. Turning radius is astonishingly small. The inline six allows this as the engine takes less room than a "V" configuration. I recommend the Envoy. The SLT model has every luxury appointment you could ask for, shy of an LCD screen navigation system.

Offers comfort, power, utility, & style. Seats are comfortable & it is easy to get into and out of. Bose sound system is great. Air suspension is very smooth & bumps are well damped. Avg 18-19 mpg. When started cold, there's a slight hesitation /flat spot on acceleration, that goes away quickly. Passenger cabin heats more quickly in morning. Quality control at GM is better than it used to be, but they still have a lot to learn.
Beats the Explorer by 1.1 mile

The Envoy obviously has the zest when accelerating, but did not feel too responsive in city stop and go. There is also a noticeable body lean driving around corners. However, overall performance, handsome looks, and the loaded features out weights all this; especially the Explorer.

I gave a review earlier loving my GMC Envoy SLE 4WD, I do still love it but after driving it for about 1,200 miles my gas line disconnected while driving on a busy highway. Luckily I pulled over in the breakdown lane. The problem was easily fixed but should never have happened. I consider this pretty serious and hope it is not an indication of other problems. Will keep you updated. Also, rear passenger does not shut as easily as others.

I've been driving only Toyota products since 1980, but I fell in love with this vehicle at first sight (at a 7 Eleven gas pump). So, not to be fooled by a pretty face, I read everything I could find on it. It seemed my American-built vehicle had finally arrivedt. I got the SLT with plenty of options (Bose system, sunroof, polished wheels, etc.) I love the look, the feel, the ride, the leather smell and the entire package. It's the best I've ever had. I visited a few dealers before I found the exact vehicle I wanted, but none compared to Moore. Everyone, was eager to please and got me in and out in a big hurry, without trying to push anything on me I didn't want.
Never buy American Again!!!

I looked at every make and model of SUVs, and sadly ended up with the Envoy. We did not even have the vehicle 24 hours and the power seats stopped working. Then we had to return to the dealership twice because the engine was leaking oil. Third, the weather stripping in the rear doors fell completely off. Fourth, the cruise control went out. This also caused the tail/brake lights to short out. Finally, we had to take it back because the windows did not seal properly.
I really can't complain!

I've just put my first 300 miles in my Envoy. I love all the features it has. My daughter just wished it had rear seat center arm rest thar my previous SUV had. I feel so comfortable on the plush leather seats. The power 6cylinder is there when I need it. I get nothing but compliments when people see it. It looks nothing like a "boxy" American cars. I also purchased the 4/60,000 mile top-of-the-line ext. warranty just in case.

The redesign has been long overdue. I think it's 100% better than my old '98 Bravada. It handles much better in the Chicago snow, and has 80 more HP! The only gripe I have is with the rear plastic frame on the hatch\tailgate. It expands when the sun hits it and scrapes away some of the paint on the metal panel it's connected to. It's only noticeable if you're looking for it. Also, it leaves the primer, so no worries about rust. This SHOULD be solved soon. The new models now have a gasket installed between the two. It's by far the best vehicle I've owned.
Great Car!

Purchased my SLE in Feb 02, May 24 and 13000 miles later, no problems. Ride quality is really very good, sight lines are good also and the overall size is just right for my needs. Gas milage could be better 14city,19 hwy. I have the air ride and the tow package which makes a soft ride and good around town response. Have read many reviews from others, they all complain about the 4WD models and the SLT with the mirrors and the extra stuff you get with leather, seems the extras break. The SLE is basic and dependable so far, so purchase one with running boards, chrome wheels, sunroof and enjoy.
What a fun machine!!!

My wife and I bought this for traveling and we are very happy with it. It is so easy to drive and so comfortable. If you need to pass there is plenty of power to do so. Gas milage is good to. Traveled to Canada going 75 and 80 miles per hour and got 22 miles per gallon.

I find the MPG very dissapointing. The tank is too small for this MPG. Light trailer pulling (under 2,000 lbs)VERY disappointing. Like a dog...passing gear most of the time. A 6,000 lb hitch is a joke for this poor power plant. Style,design and comfort is great.

THE STYLING IS GREAT INSIDE AND OUT. I HAD A 99 JIMMY BEFORE AND IT IS A DEFINETE IMPROVEMENT. I DO WISH THERE WERE SIDE POCKETS ON THE REAR DOORS AND THAT THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS ON THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. ANOTHER SUGGESTION WOULD BE THE HEADS UP DISPLAY LIKE SOME OTHER GM VEHICLES. THE POWER IS IMPORVED AND WITH THE ALLWHEEL OPTION, THE HANDLING IS VERY GOOD.

We just bought our truck a week or so ago and really like it a lot. After having a Jeep for 3 years and an Explorer prior to that, this is definetly the nicest of the 3...We also looked closely at the TrailBlazer but this one just seemed a little bit nicer and road a little smoother.

Purchased in October 2001. Have decent fuel mileage of 19mpg. Mirrors never return to the preset position and seats frequently do not. Cup holders are poorly placed and there is just not enough front seat storage. Compressor failed with 10000 miles on car. Having said all this negative stuff, the car has outstanding styling and is fun to drive. The extras (Note taking, homelink, bose stereo, etc) make it a lot of fun. All in all a good car.

I have to admit this is the best, most technologically advanced vehicle I have ever seen GM produce. Black, Dark Pewter leather, 4wd, running boards and 1SK-Professional Technology Package. The factory DVD player is awesome. The Bose system really sounds great. The vehicle handles great with the load leveling system. The quality of this vehicle is first class. I've owned it since Sept, 2001 with no problems at all. I always look forward to driving it. I get a lot of compliments where ever I go.

This is the best vehicle I have ever owned and have bought many new vehicle such as Cadillac, Reatta, etc. There are absolutely none that can compare to the ride, comfort, handling, and options of 2002 GMC Envoy. This Envoy had every available option and would not own any SUV on the market today.

I purchased the SLT with all of the bells and whistles. 15,000 miles later, and I am still whistling! I have extremely satisfied with my Envoy. The only repairs (other than routine) were to replace the pump in the load leveling suspension. The bad pump was replaced in a day, and I was on my way. Smooth ride, expected fuel mileage, lots of extras....looks great!
For fun buy the Envoy!

I think this is a good bang for the buck. The outside appearance is classy. Body and frame are well built for a smoothe quiet ride. The interior is the most comfortable of all we test drove (Lexus RX300, Mercedes ML320, BMW X5). The only thing lacking in this vehicle is front seat cup holders (2) and easy to reach storage. Don't let that keep you from owning this magnificent SUV!

I was seriously considering buying an Envoy XL but the problem I have with American manufacturers, GMC included, is the fact they offer a new designed vehicle to the public for us to test it. We are paying to test vehicles for them. Has anyone wondered why Honda and Toyota have such high quality vehicles? Envoy's get bad gas mileage, small fuel tank, wind noise, rattles, too much body roll in turns, etc.. Even the Idler Arm brackets that control the steering were breaking causing loss of control and possible crashes. Foreign mfgr's test their vehicles first before selling them, therefore they are quality deluxe! I'm reluctant to buy an Envoy now.

Being reluctant to buy an SUV (though I needed one -- living on a dirt road hill in NH), I am pleasantly impressed with my 2002 4WD SLT Envoy. It has matched feature for feature my previous Audi/VW cars -- auto climate control, rain sensing wipers, excellent stereo/CD, excellent seats (power/heated in front), excellent motor/power, smooth transmission, good brakes, lots of cargo space. Though a truck, it handles well and I am comfortable driving the Envoy on highways and "twisty" back roads (though some reviews said the vehicle is "tippy", I find it stable). So far the build and functional quality of the Envoy has been fine. If you need an SUV, check out this one.
Love my ENVOY.

Sorry I don't buy the first year vehicle excuse. This is a bad reason for poor quality build. While I like the vehicle overall, there have simply been too many problems. weather trim falling off, transmission problems, incredible wind noise problems, etc...and a geat deal of excuses from GM. Oh it's suppose to make that much wind noise...Right I'm sure the designers set out to accomplish that very fact!

Having owned 5 Ford Explorer SUV's, the GMC ENVOY was a surprising improvement, both in performance and reliablity. My last Explorer SOHC, blew the engine from the bad timing chain. I need an SUV, so I looked at them all. The GMC had this new in line six @270hp, more powerful than all the V8 on the market. Hydro formed framing makes this a very solid vehicle. Pulling power is more, corning is less than every other SUV. Trans is smooth, rides like a car. Love it.

took this suv off the floor and drove for 2300 miles in 5 days. Mileage as high as 23.5 and low of 18.4 with a strong head wind. Came from a suburban since '86 and was sceptical. Other than storage room, it is great for the 2 of us. Love the gadgets, ride and comfort. It has everything but the dvd and we took the mood roof. Rides great, quiet and very good torque.
