Solid SUV

2004 GMC Envoy SLE 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

I have owned my 2004 GMC Envoy for a little over a year now and I'm very pleased with it. The ride quality is great for long trips and I love the exterior styling. It's been fantastic for my many trips to Home Depot. The wide cargo opening is definitely a plus. The dual climate control is great because my wife is always cold and I'm always warm. I have brought it back to the dealer a few times for a few problems that were fixed under warranty immediately. The gas mileage could be better, but I knew about that before I bought it. Since I don't drive too much, it hasn't been a problem even with the high gas prices.

My GMC Envoy has been a pleasure to drive.I like the way it handles on curves,very smooth! Interior design was well thought out,before manufacturing. Automatic transmission is one of the smoothest shifting, I have ever driven. Exterior design caught my eye,because it wasn't overdone, like some SUV's I test drove.

Yes, we traded in the family van for an SUV.......looked at many, decided on the Envoy XL because it has so many features that are still compatible with having children. Love the styling, the ride is great and the storage more than most of the mid-size SUV's we looked at. Very happy with our decision!

I love my Envoy. It rides smooth and all my friends are amazed that it doesn't "ride like a truck"! So far it has been very reliable, but it is only 3 months old and 5500 miles. Gas is not cheap, but like someone else said, neither is comfort!

I traded in a 2000 Eclipse because we didn't have enough room ever. I thought it'd be the end of driving for fun now that I was getting a more "grown-up" vehicle. Was i wrong! The Envoy not only is one of the best looking SUVs on the market but is one the best I've ever driven. The handling is better than most and with 275HP it can keep up with just about anyone on the road. The interior design is just as nice as those luxury models with having to pay an additional $20k. If you've never driven one, get to a GMC dealership as soon as you can and check one out for a 24 hour test drive!

i think this suv it has the saftey features not like the ford explorer this has on star which i can use if i get into an accident i now that on star automaticly calls for help and they know your exact location this compared to the ford this is like gold and the ford is like dirt and also the ford dealers dont care about there customers they will just sell you the car and never speak to you again.

If you are looking for a really nice, fun SUV - the ENVOY is for you. My husband and I looked at many comparable SUVs like the 4Runner, Explorer, and the Cherokee, but noticed that they did not have the "nice" and "high-end" look that the ENVOY does. None of the other SUVs listed above had an interior that even comes close to the ENVOY. It is way more classy and stylish too! Another thing that I like about the ENVOY is the fact that it is the only SUV that does not come with a roll-over warning on the visor (which makes me feel a little safer), is has great pick-up on the go, a super quiet engine that you cant really hear and a really smooth ride.

Beautifully designed SUV with all the features anyone could possibly want. Only downside is the low fuel economy (15 city/20 highway), but than again that's true of most SUVs. I would recommend this car to everyone. Spacious and well priced!

I have had this envoy since April 4, 2004 it has 172,000 miles on it, been across the states east to west and north to South. Had an emission sensor problem when it was new, a computer problem about 3 years cost approx $2400.00, just tried to have it smogged in Calif and it has a bad valve in the 3 hole and a bad left front bearing. All in all it has been a good vehicle and I believe we have gotten our moneys worth would buy another if I ever get rid of this one.

I am havong major problems with my Envoy. It started from the day I drove off the lot. The envoy is sitting in my back yard and has been for close to a year. GMC will not perform ant warrenty work on it. They also will not perform any recall work on it. The complete experiance has been awfull. I have a folder at home that is about3/4" thick of all the paper work that tall this has created. I don't know what to do at this point.

I bought my Envoy in October. I got a great deal on it and even used my GM Visa credits ($1,750) additional discount. I LOVE this SUV. Its quiet, smooth and handles great! Only thing I don't like is the gas mileage. My short mileage trip to work nets me about 13+ MPG, but its rated at 16 in the city.

I haven't had any real problems from it so far. Purchased 9/28/03. I have taken it in because the service 4wd light kept coming on & turn signal freezing. Outside of those 2 things it's worked fine. You'd also expect a car that's $33k+ to come with more standard features ie lighted vanity mirrors& a light in the glove box. Also, gas mileage wasn't a shock to me because my Grand Prix GT cost about the same to fill up. All around it's a nice truck and I get many compliments. I love the 4wd in the snow. It's very responsive to hwy acceleration. I may try another when my lease is up, probably the SLT XL model unless Buick offers a bigger Rainier.

0 of 0 people found this review helpful

The overall performance is not bad, but I feel GM still has room to improve. The foreign auto industry is making a much better SUV overall. The defroster system is poorly designed, during a recent snow storm and cold weather I could not keep my windshield clear of icying up. The defroster vents are only positioned in the center of the windshied, poor design. The cup holders are poor also, this is the second GM product I purchased in the last 4 years where the cup holders were of a poor design and not enough of them. Would I buy another GMC Envoy again, probably not. I will look at other auto makers.

I'm a first time GMC buyer and purchased the 2004 Envoy EX after driving multiple suv's in the same class. It is a quality suv and i am well pleased so far in all aspects. I was afraid it would be to big and bulky for every day driving but have found it to handle great in all types of road conditions. Does well in snow and rain. My grandchildren love the dvd and with their car seats placed in the 3rd seat i can see them well through the rear view mirror. This is a plus for me.

So far, we have been very pleased with this vehicle. We did a lot of research prior to purchasing this vehicle, mainly comparing it with the Jeep Cherokee. The salesman we worked with on the Envoy was very knowledgeable on the vehicle and it's many features. There was no hype, just facts. All in all, an enjoyable experience and as I said above, we are pleased with the vehicle so far.

The GMC Envoy is responsive to cornering yet offers a very smooth and quiet ride. The engine is strong and carries 5 persons with no problems. We made a 5 hour trip and everyone was comfortable and not fatiqued. Options are well designed and easy to use. It is a big improvement over our last SUV - an Isuzu Trooper. Gas mileage is OK at 19-21 MPG.

I had a minivan-Pontiac Montana and Olds Silhouette which I liked but after 5 years, needed a change. I looked around and when I saw the Envoy SLT- extended 7 passenger SUV- I fell in love with it. I have had it about a month now and haven't had a complaint yet. I feel great driving it- its a beautiful looking car- great pick-up speed and very comfortable riding. It amazes me that people buy foreign cars when we have something as nice as this car, which i believe stands up to any of the other cars in value, performance and beauty. Thumbs up and cheers to the Envoy and G.M. Thanks for letting me voice my opinion. Mary Justice

This is the first vehicle I have purchased, Japanese or American, that didn't require some tinkering from the dealer to get the annoying little bugs out after delivery. There were no bugs! My mileage is better that the EPA figures and hauling people and payload is a breeze. Road trips are a pleasure.

I just took my first real trip on my new Envoy to southern Virginia on Interstate 95 and was exceptionally pleased with everything but the mileage, it was 14 mpg. I-95 is known as a very hard drive from Washington south, sometimes with 4 lanes of big trucks and everybody is running 70+. The Envoy had plenty of road acceleration to get up and go when needed and the vehicle handled very smooth among the big trucks and speedway drivers. Very pleased, but GM has got to get me more than 14 mpg on the highway.
