Not happy

2002 GMC Envoy SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

We've had nothing but problems with the driver 1 and 2 mirror settings working correctly. It has been in at least 6 times for this and has never been fixed. We also get a clunking noise from the rear differential that they can not diagnose. This vehicle is about 20 months old and has been into the shop at least 10 times.

So Far So Good

I am very pleased with the performance of this SUV. It is very powerful and has excellent handling characteristics. The ride with the air suspension is superb. It turns on a dime and is easy to park. The bose stereo is the best I have heard in a car. I have not experienced any of the problems that I have read posted here as of yet. My Envoy was delivered with no defects. I am averaging 17.5 miles per gallon in mostly city/sometimes highway driving.

Overall, a good thing

I love the look (inside & out) of my 2003 Envoy. The gas mileage is alright. However, coming from a 2000 Expedition, I miss the room. We only have two kids so the room is adequate, but I miss the width of the Expedition. But I do have a lot of trunk space now. I get a lot of compliments on the look of my Envoy. I also love driving with the sunroof open, the Bose stereo on and the woodgrain look accents and the leather interior. It is indeed a fine looking vehicle. I have read reviews about the ride being like that of a truck, but I think the ride is pretty smooth. Overall, I think the Envoy is a good thing!

No regrets

I traded in a Ford Expedition for the Envoy - no regrets. The Envoy rides great, is the right size, and is much more comfortable on long trips. We haul lots of "stuff" and a big labrador in the back, and have plenty of room. Unlike some other reviews, I am getting 23 mpg on the highway at 75 mph, compared to 16 mpg for the Expedition. For a 4000 lb. plus car, that's not too bad. So far, no problems with the car. I do think GM builds a "looser" car than Ford or Chrysler, which I think are "tighter". But I had GM products before, so was aware of that up front. All in all, we really like our Envoy, and would recommend it to others.

What Gives

I purchased my 2002 GMC Envoy SLT in 11/2002. It has made over 12 visits to my local dealer in a year. My memory mirrors, never remember. My seat tried to kill me by going fully forward while I was driving. There is a constant squeak coming form the dash, exterior temperature sensor broke, rear wiper and defroster broke, I could go on. I will never, give another GM car a chance to make me bitter. $35,000 and it can't stay out of the shop for 30 days. Also, what gives with the horrible road holding performance? This thing handles like a wet pig. Honestly, I fully regret purchasing this automobile, and will probably not own it for much longer.
