Credit where it's due

First off, Edmunds has an axe to grind against GM, and I can't fathom their poor review of this vehicle. This is a superb vehicle, and compares well against the truck-based and cross-over midsize SUVs. It looks sharp outside, drives strongly and smoothly and securely, and has a great looking interior. I have put on 11,000 miles in less than 5 months, and I have no reliability problems with this vehicle.

I like the styling & handeling of the vehicle. Quality wise, it's the worst vehicle I've owned since my 1974 Maverick. I've had more things replaced/repaired then I have space to list in this review. GMC customer service say's there sorry. Dealer say's there sorry. I don't think either are as sorry as I am for buying the heap of scrap.

Edmonds Doesn't Get It

It is strange that the review put forth by Edmonds for the 2002 Envoy was replete with accolades for design, performance, comfort, style, etc. Indeed, it was most deserving of the 2002 SUV of the year award. Their review for the same vehicle in 2003 seems to indicate that it is a much lesser product. Apparently the minor change to the taillight and a 5 HP increase destroyed their vision for 2003. Also contrary to Edmonds opinion, I have had a number of favorable comments on the leather interior. Guess I am just too easy to please.

Envoy Nightmare

I have had my Envoy since Oct. of 2002 and now have just under 50,000 miles on it. I love the way it looks, rides and performs, however I have had way too many problems to list. Engine failure at 5,500 miles, transmission at 48K along with the rear differential. GM has covered most of the repair costs but the down time and reliability isn't good. Hopefully they have worked out the bugs for the 05's and 06's.

Thanks to my cheap mentality I was looking for cheap, nice, quality SUV. I purchased used 2002 GMC Envoy with 50,000 miles on it for "only" $17,000. What a mistake! This truck has terrible wind noise around its doors. It literally souds like driving with an open window. The wipers don't work well in cold weather. The heat stops working from time to time. The engine makes unhealty noises. The memory mirrors never go back to their set positions. The heated mirror function does not work. I get a maximum of 18 mpg on the highways. This truck is vibrating at highway speeds. I've only had it for a few months and I an already looking to sell it even if I have to lose money. If you read this review because you are considering buying one, please, think again.
