Not bad!
It's my first SUV and overall, I like it. GM could make few improvements with better quality interior components such as seats and plastic all over. A better and tightly-fit exterior parts (uneven edges and wide gaps) would make it nicer. Experienced rattling/roving noise after using 2/4WD switch. Dealer couldn't figure out.. happens on and off..
03 Envoy
I really enjoy driving this Envoy. It looks great and has a Cady ride. I do agree the it is a bit "tippy" feeling when cornering hard but it is a SUV after all. The I-6 power is great and doesn't have a soft spot. The 4WD system is easy to get to when needed.

Disappointed Buyer
I purchased the it to replace my Isuzu Trooper. I have had 4 Isuzus over the last 8 years with 1 warranty service. This is the replacement for the Trooper. This Envoy has had the A/C repaired 4 times, the power mirrors actuators replaced and the O2 sensor replaced. I have also had problems with the automatic wipers and the memory for the radio and seats. All this with less than 16,000 miles.
Great Truck when it's not Broken
Love everything about this truck. Comfort, features, ride, power all good. Problem is it's broken more than it runs. Dash died. Key won't come out of ignition. Heat died. 4x4 transfer case died. Ignition system failed. Now having tranny problems and dealer says sorry you can take a loss and trade it in or deal with the loss of time every month when it breaks. 35K and this is not acceptable! Would buy another if someone could convince me all the bugs were fixed but haven't found that person yet - looks like time to find a new brand and dealer.
I love my Envoy!
I am not the best at maintenance of my vehicle. I first changed my oil around 25,000 miles. I currently have 72,000 miles on my truck and just replaced the factory tires! My Envoy is very low maintenance and the factory paint job looks beautiful after just a regular, no-frills car wash. I really enjoy driving it and have taken several cross-country trips. People that ride with me are surprised at how smoothly I am able to wheel into tight parking spaces without having to go through the pull in, back up, pull back in, etc. I highly recommend the Envoy as a fun, practical vehicle that lets you sit up higher like a truck but still drives like a car!
Good SUV
This SUV is Comfortable with the leather option. Ride is good and interior quiet for an SUV on a truck frame. The Handling is good and doesn't feel like it will roolover in turns like it's sister the Trailerbazer.
Happy with suv angry with dealer
This is the best suv I have ever had I have had it for a year and my first problem occured this month with a thumping in the front end when I hit minor road bumps.Unfortunetly I am not happy with CERAMI PONTIAC in New Jersey with their service dept.I buy a $34,000 suv and I couldnt even get a loaner from the dealership for the day go figure they rather lose someones business than give them a $30,00 dollar loaner.Anyway I reccomend the suv but I dont reccomend Cerami Pontiac in NEW JERSEY.
My first GM
I've had the car for less than a year and I've had to reset the computer once and replace the cooling fan (cost $560) Hopefully I won't see anymore problems for a while. Doubt if I ever buy another GM! The Ford I traded was old but it ran great and never had any work done to it!
GMC has done it right with Envoy
Overall good value, comfortable, quiet, solid ride, excellent acceleration. We looked at Ford Explorer, Toyota 4Runner, and this was as good or better at a more reasonable price. The Toyota was presented as a better built vehicle, but it cost thousands more. However, we have really had no problems with over 24,000 miles driven on the Envoy. At 21,000 miles one wiper blade had to be replaced because it did not clear the windshield well enough after ice built up (cost apprx $10.).
Love my Envoy
I love this vehicle. I wasn't even considering an Envoy and my uncle made me look at it. I got in to test drive it and didn't ever want to get out.
ENVOY SLT REVIEW
THIS VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE TOPS IN IT'S CLASS THAT I'VE SEEN SP FAR. THE TURNING RADIUS, THE HORSEPOWER, THE COMFORT, IT ALL ADDS UP TO "A+" IN THIS MAN'S EYES.
So far so Great!
I bought this truck in July. 2 minor problems so small I can't remember them. Great car. I'd buy it again.
2003 Envoy - Family of 3
Our family loves our Envoy. It gets great gas mileage - around 22-23 MPG. It is perfect for our 3 member family - however the backseat has its issues. The seats are too straight - can't get comfortable. The front seat is a little tight as far as arm space but over all the vehicle is a pleasure to own. The outside appearance is very sporty and impressive looking. We will always own GM products.
new envoy 2004
Good exterior looks, interior space, and accessibility. Loose steering and feels top heavy in turns. Poor gas mileage and loud, unrefined engine.
Great SUV!!
I just bought this 2003 SLT to replace my 2000 "Exploder" and what a difference between SUVs! The Envoy drives so much smoother with none of the wind or engine noise like the "Exploder". We bought it in Atlanta and drove to Michigan and back, through the snow, and the Traction Control made it handled like a dream, even without 4-wheel-drive. Average gas mileage was over 20 mpg! The heated seats also made it more comfortable!
Love It!
I searched for a long time to find the perfect replacement for my minivan and I found it! I needed the convienence of the third row seat for carpool,etc but I also wanted to find something that wasn't quite as "mom-mobile" as my van. Needless to say, the sleek looking XL grabbed my attention and won me over when I drove it. There isn't really anything I can complain about. I feel secure, my kids have ample room and the cargo space is generous when all 3 rows are in use. I would have liked arm rests and a larger storage compartment between the seats (which my husband has in his Sierra) but as far as all around looks and function..I am one happy Mama.
ENVOY LOVER
I traded in my nissan SUV for a more luxurious vehicle which I found in the ENVOY. My cousin has the Pathfinder, which I was condsidering purchasing and my best friend has the Lexus RX 300 which I also considered purchasing but I am extrmely happy with my envoy, mileage is not bad could be better, looks are great,comfort, I even talked a co-worker in purchasing a new envoy
WE LOVE IT
WE LOVE IT FUN TO DRIVE. FATHER IN LAW BOUGHT A NEW TRAILBLAZE.IT DOES NOT COMPARE.
NICE RIDE
This was a very good purchase for me. It's not to big and not too small. I have been on many long distance trips and the ride has been great. It gets about 350 on the highway, which is pretty good in a SUV. I don't see to many Envoys on the road, and I like that. But it's only a matter of time.
poor gas mileage
terrible when air is on for long trips.
mr picolo
it is the best
2003 GMC Envoy
I am extremely pleased with the handling and performance of my Envoy. It's extremely comfortable and even though the gas mileage isn't great, it's not too bad. Around town I average 18 mpg.
It's a winner!
I LOVE my new Envoy... I got a super deal on it too! $4,500 off from dealer, plus $2,000 rebate, plus $1,750 off from my GM Master card rebate (taken off sales price right at the dealer)! I test drove the Kia, Mazda, Ford(s) and Nissan (xterra) before I bought and the Envoy won hands down. Just the right size too.
Great Ride
The 2003 Envoy SLT rides like a real dream. So far so good. I look for excuses to go on a drive. I traded in a 1999 GMC Jimmy on this vehicle. What a difference, and I liked the Jimmy. The Envoy beats it in every category, especially that it rides smoother. Gas mileage is pitiful.
Well Built
I feel very lucky I guess. I got one of the very well built Envoy's. I have not had one problem with this truck. It is well built and lots of fun to drive. Other than My T-Type 89 Lesabre, this is the best vehicle I ever owned. GM Rules!
GREAT SUV
THIS IS THE BEST SUV I THINK ON THE MARKET .FEELS BETTER THAN ANY OF THE BMWS OR OTHER CARS THAT I HAVE EVER HAD.I DROVE MANY SUV S AND BY FAR THE ENVOY WAS THE BEST
I Love IT!
We love our suv its like driving a regular car. It is so comfortable and has enough storage room..
The Envoy is Awesome!
GM has really done a nice job with the Envoy. It seems as thought they are actually taking some of the foreign car interior features and combining them with the old GM American options. I think it has great styling and some really super features.
It's the best car we've owned
We've only owned this vehicle for about three months but we are extremely happy with it and would recommend it to anyone.
verdict not in
dont like the fact that all model dont come standard with rear defogger or power mirrors
lost some features
over all i'm happy with the truck but i owned a 99 jimmy that had more features like,power seat,mirrors and temp. gauge,pluss very little storage room you would think the newer car would have more not less
My SUV
Handles well, VERY comfortable ride and we desin ged interior.
Great vehicle
This is my first SUV & I love it! Great storage room-we moved our son to college & loaded ALL of his belongings in it & still had room for the 3 of us. My husband works at the facility that makes the engine so we knew that it was well made. Was disappointed with the gas mileage for such an efficient engine. But it has a 16-17 gal. tank so I guess it performs about average. Would recommend it to others. The 04's have some really nice features.
Love it!
I like the big feel I had a Lexus RX300 I had to get use to the truck verses car frame but now I like it better than the Lexus I still don't know about the mileage yet it is still so new I got alot of stuff but opted for cloth seats I really think they are more comfy than leather, leather is so hot in Texas. I love the stainless trim on the interior it's different.I got a really good deal.
Shirleys Envoy
Beautiful vehicle with one major flaw. When you get in a strong cross wind your wind noise can drown out a cell phone and render your onstar phone useless while traveling. Also at very cold temperatures the footfeet freezes. That is a simple fix if you warm up the vehicle and restart the engine.
I absolutely Recommend the Envoy
Rides great. Looks great. Fun to drive. Had two problems and dealer fixed both repairs with no problems to me. Feels and looks like it is built tough and sturdy. The gas mileage is bad. GMC states it gets 15/20, but I get only 12- 13 driving around my town and 15-16 on the expressway to work. Insurance is cheap. I feel that Onstar is too expensive. Would like to use it and the telephone , but it is cheaper to just have a cedular phone instead. GM should lower the prices for everthing related with Onstar and I am sure they would get more customers. Wind noise not that noticable.
Great car!
Bought an envoy to replace 2001 Pathfinder....Great vehicle. I loved my Pathfinder and thought I could not get better, but this one has a better ride and better features. I am also getting good gas mileage although I had read how poor it was. I got the loaded W/everything...I would suggest this as this is one thing that makes the automobile GREAT.
Good
Rides Good and Handles Great
Total Comfort
We have driven a Ford Explorer for the last 8 years. We recently purchased the GMC Envoy after test driving 10 other models and we have found a winner. The ride is smooth, interior is quite, acceleration is excellent.
Wind Noise
The only problem with this SUV is the wind noise. It is very very loud. But the digital almost everything is good.
Too many problems
I was a loyal GM owner, but not sure any more. The truck has been into the dealer 8 times in 2 months for a mysterious electrical problem effecting lights and gauges. I've had 3 computers and 4 electrical switches placed into the truck. Also, the entire truck has been re-ground 3 times and the rear window leak has been fixed twice. Problems still persist. Goods news is GM is buying the car back. I really like the style of the truck so I'm thinking about giving GM another shot, but I'm not sure.
GM Truck Division Winner!
Ride is terrific with more than enough power on hand. The brakes are disc all around and excellent. Solid feel, quality switch gear and excellent displays.
Last Time to Purchase a GMC Envoy XL SLT
luv my Envoy, but w/all the problems, I'm ready to disown. Liftgate panel broke in wk. Brake knock & let go on roads under construction or uneven. SVS says OK. Feel uneasy when braking, might hit something/someone. Sensor in driver panel had buzzing noise. Took 2X for repair. Rotten mildew odor in the AC. SVS says to turn off recycling; however been doing their way & still smells. Looking for another dealership. Lining around the windows are starting to sound like the windows are open, so when driving at 65 mph sound like an open window and you hear that annoying wind sound. I should be picky for the kind of money spent on this vehicle.
Great SUV
Outstanding engine performance especially in the mid range. Interior and seating are comfortable for someone my size (62 220). It made its way through our last 8 snow storm with no problems and has handled some light off road snow covered trails with ease. The only improvements would be to have Heads Up Display (HID), which should be on every GM product with a base price over 28,000 and have the CD options on the steering wheel instead of the HVAC controls. Most drivers change their radio stations and flip through the CD tracks far more often than changing the HVAC settings. GMC Professional Grade?, close but not there yet.
True Love :)
I love it!
THE GREATEST IN ITS CLASS
We just picked up the Envoy, and it is wonderful. It handles like a dream, and has a preformance some V-8's can not match. Its is a great vehicle, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a mid-size sport utility vehicle
I love the Envoy
I am home health professional. I drive more miles than most people. The Envoy is a pleasure to drive. It is quick, quite and has all the toys I love to play with. As I compare it to other SUV's it appears to overshadow them. The style is "All That" and when my Black Envoy is clean! It is a show stopper.
best deal
I purchased this suv as a lost leader for 20,770.+ tax etc. I compared the highlander/trailblazer/expedition/rodeo. For less than 775.00 more than the lost leader highlander I got 4-wheel anti- loc,120 more hp.side air bags,tow pac, roof rack,tinted windows,rear air, cruse,keyless,dual climate control, 17" alloys,and a much smother ride on better looking, softer seats.
Florida Envoy SLT
SLT/2WD has been a great option for 4 years now. Oil and tires changed/rotated every 3000 miles. 48000 now on original tires! Battery went Dixie after 38 months. Trip gas mileage has been respectable with the vehicle loaded at 22-26 MPG. All in all have been very happy with our Envoy!
Pretty Good!
First SUV, pretty impressed so far!
