Living in the lap of luxury

This car is awesome. The amenities are enough to make your head spin. I only have 5 knocks on the car so far.... How could GMC forget to put a remote gas cap cover release, and a remote rear window release in a car that otherwise has every gadget ? How could they settle for sutch an oversize and ugly steering wheel ? Why can't they make ONSTAR an option and lower the price ?. Why can't they make running boards standard instead of ONSTAR ?.... How about replacing that ridiculous sounding horn with a better one ? Other than that I hope this one lasts me a long, long time...and from what I've seen so far....it should.

We were considering a BMW or Lexus until we drove the Envoy. It is the most soundproof vehicle I've ever been in. The power train is great, the ride is great, the fuel econcony is great and it just looks good. I would most certainly buy another one.

I bought this from the original owner, so far i love it i previously owned a equinox and the ride is so much better in this the interior is awesome and the leather seats are very comfortable, the only things i find could be improver is where the front cupholders are at and the back seat should be further back cause theres not much leg room back there.

This is my wife's car but I really envy her being able to drive it every day. This vehicle is a pleasure to drive and enjoy. Great ride and very quiet. We had an Expedition before and this is a big step up in comfort, handling and build quality. Everything works flawlessly. Will not go back to Ford for this type of vehicle.

Horrible Electrical Problems

2003 GMC Envoy SLE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
6 of 8 people found this review helpful

We bought this vehicle less than one year old- within 2 wks the CD player went. Within six months we lost the tach & the speedometer. Next to go were oil pressure and temp gauges. Then gas gauge. Entire instrument cluster replaced- very expensive dealership repair. Within 18 months the heat & AC only funcntioned on driver's side, and the radio worked only intermittently. Have had to replace fuses and relays repeatedly- relays are @ $40 a piece. Now you can't run the fan at all or it dies & I don't even want to know what that will cost to fix. Would not recommend anyone to buy this year of Envoy- unless of course someone would take mine off my hands. Please!

SERVICE 4WD LIGHT ON FOR FOURTH TIME!

2003 GMC Envoy SLE 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful

My '03 Envoy's SERVICE 4WD light came on the 1st time at 574 MILES, 2nd time at 4242 MILES, 3rd time at 6490 MILES & 4th time at 9387 MILES. It's had 3 IGNITION SWITCHES in 1 WEEK & I've only had it 9 mo's. I contacted GM about this & was told about a repurchase then told no but never told why. The area rep doesn't have to give a reason why, he doesn't have to call me when I've asked for him to & they won't give me his info. I told GM this was "UNEXCEPTABLE" and asked to speak with a supervisor & the supervisor HUNG UP ON ME! GM NEEDS TO GET THE ENVOYS ACT TOGETHER! I will NEVER buy GM again! I'm on to NY state lemon law now. WISH ME LUCK!

The handling and operation of this car is intuitive; requiring little getting used to. I have little to complain about, except for the past two summers, the AC unit would mot cool, but actually produced heat (Maximim). After shutting down for a period, the control returned to normal; like something had to be reset by 'going back to zero' on restart. Has anyone else beside me experienced this? I have not had the car to the dealer,as the original warranty has run out and it has not proven to be a continuing problem.

GREAT SUV - BEST OF ITS COMPETITORS

No complaints here. I bought the SLT because the difference in comfort and trim level/options was far superior to the SLE. The vehicle has many features and options but is very intuitive. Some of the questions asked on the survey ask questions only appropriate of a sports car and that is the only reason why it did not get a 10 from me. The Envoy is positively the first in class having it all; comfort, style, and performance. The gas mileage isn't great, but is good for a truck-based SUV. I would recommend this vehicle to friends/family.
