Refinement for under $40K
The SLT is just like a caddy inside, the leather and woodgrain is the same as an Escalade. The I-6 engine is very impressive, save your money and buy this one.
Great ride and a great buy
This is an excellent college stundent vehicle. You can drive the distance and still have the fun of being able to take freinds and their stuff.

My best car yet
I've never driven a better car that's actually affordable. It's definately safe and reliable. You should at least go test drive one!
Great Vehicle

Great all around SUV
I have enjoyed this vehicle on long trips to New Hampshire and other New England States.
It's Wonderful
Just a great all around car, loaded with many extras. Getting 20-21MPG. Comfortable. Love the radio as you increase speed and noise from road it authmaticly increases volume, then down again whrn you slow down. Just fun to drive, do not agree with the Editors at all in their elvauation.
Built for comfort
If you are looking for comfort this is it! I test drove and sat in every SUV in this class and found that this was by far the most comfortable for me. All of my friends like it too. It has enough power to get me where I need to go and I've been happy with my Envoy.
GMC Envoy Review
I have never been so pleased with the performance, handling and reliability of a vehivle. The Envoy is fun to drive and the excellent visability and comfortable handling makes driving safe and a pleasure on the highways I use. I am sold on this truck. I am confident that I will purchase another GMC product.
2004 GMC ENVOY SLT
the ENVOY is great.
Best SUV on the market.
Being a aerospace engineer (Aircraft designer) this design tops all other SUV's. For it's safety performance and comfort. This veichel is under rated and should be reviewed more carefuly. A very well engineered SUV/TRUCK.
A few issues
I've put 30k miles on my Envoy SLE in 11 months. High mileage for work and 3 travel hockey players. After the first three trips back to the dealer for engine problems the vehicle is running great. 4wd with enough room in back are a key for me. The cup holders are pretty ridiculous though.
American luxury
I just bought it and it is the perfect size for my family
I love my Envoy!!
I am so thrilled with my 2004 Envoy with V8. It handles great, comfortable drive, very roomy in the leg area even with the third row of seats. Will never live without a navigation system again. Only wish I could play CD's while using it. The interior suits me fine. Feels solid. Love the automatic headlight feature since I always forgot to turn my lights off. Everything about this vehicle is great. And everyone ooh's and aaah's when they see it. We have made three long distance trips in it so far (over 7 hours) and get about 21 mpg on the open road, 15 around town. I am a "fearful" driver and I feel confident in this automobile.
great suv
I had wanted one for a few years but so expensive. When they had the 0 % financing I was there. I like it but am driving way to much now! Still a very expensive vehicle. I love the on star and how it rives feels like a car. Like the dash
Best SUV yet
I have had the Envoy for four months. No problems. Ride is excellent and much quieter than the 1999 Bravada traded in. I think the interior design is outstanding compared to the Explorer or the 4Runner.
LOVE IT!
I just love our new Envoy! This is a great SUV for the price. I compared the 4 Runner, which was easily more expensive and found this to be much more comfortable, especially for longer road trips. The interior feels plush and the exterior is gorgeous. I couldn't be happier about my choice.
Impressed
Since purchasing our Envoy, I have been very impressed how quiet the SUV is in the city as well as on the highway. Plus, with a chrome grill guard and PIAA lights, it's a great looking ride.
Had the 03 4Runner and the 04 Emvoy WINS
Just purchased for the wife in July $9000 off MSRP what a deal, only wished we weren't upside down in 4Runner. My wife loves her NEW 04 Envoy and hasen't looked back at the 4Runner "sorry Toyota". The ride is so much better "sorry Toyota"
The Envoy is Awesome!!!!
I have dirven my new Envoy for one week now, and could not be happier. Prior to my Envoy I have owned Jeep Grand Cherokees. There is simply no comparison. The ride is smooth, the seats have great support, and the features are extremely well thought out. In fact, to date I have yet to listen to any local radio station because I have been enjoying XM that much. Oddly enough, I haven't experienced the windnoise that other reviewers have mentioned. I strongly recommend this vehicle to anyone shopping for an SUV.
Very Pleased
I am very pleased with my new Envoy. Having driven a car prior to this I feel much safer - yet I did not have to lose the sportiness and handling that I had liked in my car. I receive many compliments on my vehicle and I love having so much room to haul everything around. Great job on this GMC!
It's Great
This is my second one, and I like it more than the first. I recommend it highly.
Envoy has no equal
My wife and I love our Envoy! It's the sharpest looking SUV on the road and the inline 6 cyl. engine has great power and excellent performance. We tried the Explorer and 4 Runner, and there is really no comparison. The fit and finish on the Envoy is far superior and the interior really sealed the deal for us. I'm sure we'll get another one when the lease runs out.
My new fun vehicle
I enjoy driving my envoy very much. I like the feel of being a little higher than someof the other vehicles and I think it handles very well.I have had 3 new pontiac Bonneivilles with all the bells and gadgets. I enjoyed them very much, but there wasn't enough room to take what I needed to with me to winter in Florida. I really feel my Envoy compares with my previous cars very well. I hope I have as good luck with this vehicle as I did with my Bonnevilles. I like this one very much.
Good Car and fun to drive
This is a great car. There is alot of room for our three kids (we got the third seat). Very comfortable interior for adults to sit in the rear seats. Only problem is it uses alot of gas, but we expected that.
I love it
This vehicle is fun to drive and has great performance. It also has a lot of great features on it like programmable settings for two different drivers that get reset depending whose key is used. the xm satelite radio is also a great feature. We bought black exterior with tan leather interior and several people have stopped to compliment us on the car.
Professional grade
My wife drives above average number of miles each year. It was time to replace her GM vehicle. GM has great customer incentives at this time and the Envoy was a step up for us. The vehicle is really "Professional Grade". James Rivard GMC are outstanding in providing for our transportation needs and wants. The shopping and sales experience was great. Likewise, the service department appreciates us and takes excellent care of us.
2004 GMC Envoy
Nice truck with great standard features. Slightly disappointed in the noise level inside of the cabin at highway speeds. Truck looks good and has a very strong engine in this mid- size SUV class.
great SUV
I have wanted one for several years but the price this year was great. It is comfortable and I just love all about it. I am surprised at Edmonds with their review. I can't beleive with the way the Ford Explorer flips that they rate it higher. This one is luxary inside and it is so roomy. I am very pleased with it
Well Done
Compare to all the cars that I've drove.. MDX, Pathfinder, highlander, nothing near the power of the New Envoy. It's totally Roomy and powerful. I dont have the roof retrack option but that a brillian Idea. I love it
Great Value, Great Utility
This vehicle meets the expectation for a utility vehicle in that it serves many uses. It has the power to pull a trailer and the space to support a tailgate party at a ballgame. It is comfortable and easy to drive and park.
2004 Envoy SLT 1SD
Stepped down from a 2002 to a 2004. Cruise unsafe going down hills. Ride has went from good to bad. Suspension not as firm as in 2002. Bose sound system is not worth the extra cost of the option package. Seems GMC is cutting corners for profit.
Envoy of fun
The Envoy is fun to drive with great looks, power and easy to get in and out of.
Overall Great Vehicle
I changed from a '95 Blazer to the Envoy, it was like going from night to day. I was intially dissapointed with the fuel economy, but after a 1,000 miles the engine seemed to break in and I went from 14 mpg to 17 mpg of city/Hwy driving. I have been very pleased with the vehicle.
A very good midsize SUV
I have been very satisfied with it. Great comfort, easy to drive, Pros tight turning radius ,excellent power even when towing. I have found it reliabe but it has had some problems, Wiper relay replaced first 1,000 miles, and some front end problems. But GM has provided superior service on any problems. Would I buy another, absolutly,
Most dependable..
I bought my first 2004 with 68000 miles. About 2 months later the transmission went out so I replaced with OEM. It always started, hauled groceries, kids and more kids! It never left me stranded. When my boys got their license, they would also drive it to their farm 170 miles away, loaded with tools, coolers, etc. It had 3rd row, which was a blessing also. I kept it serviced, replaced plug wires, brakes/rotors (the norm) and at 250,000 I sold it. That was about 5 years ago and it’s still rolling. I should have kept it, really.

First Impressions
I looked far and wide for the best deal on an SUV regardless of brand or ultimate price - hey, I like to save LOTS of cash on a vehicle I like. Without influence by sterotype reviews that always seem to bash American- designed products I went SUV shopping. The ENVOY won my game. I got a great price ($25,222 out the door including all taxes, etc.) for a vehicle that was priced after taxes at around $35,000. AND IT IS A WONDERFUL VEHICLE TO DRIVE-- AND LOOKS GREAT. I have had some time to inspect the interior and exterior build - especially the engine, frame, etc. I AM IMPRESSED.
DONT DO IT
i dont know who the people are writing these other reviews....but the envoy is a junker. it is an overpriced test car for GMC. I have had too many problems with this vehicle in the past 4 months. I wish I read some of the other reviews before buying. interior design, appears nice, but is inconvenient and cheaply made. constant service problems, that cannot be fixed.
Franks GMC Envoy
Had problem after 5 months where air conditioning did not work. Ride is kind of rough, could be smoother although this is my first SUV. Gas mileage is alot less than I expected. Is only getting about 14 in the city and 19 on the highway, less than window said and I an not a lead foot driver.
Envoy: Spanish for garbage?
Here's a partial list of problems I've had: Air conditioning went out. Stereo goes out intermittantly. The air shocks won't level, so the compressor runs constantly and when the car sits for more than an hour it lists like a sinking boat. (it's been in the shop 4 times for this and still isn't fixed) Rear hatch moulding shrank into the inside of the door. I currently have a water leak in the driver side. (I live in Seattle, so it's wet a LOT) The engine hood latch squeeks and must be lubed every couple of weeks. The car lurches occassionally at a stop light. The fit and finish of the vehicle is lousy. Body trim has had to be re- glued etc.
Good, quality American truck
The Envoy has been great. I leased it for about a year now. Before i had the GMC Jimmy and i found i was bringing it in to be fixed every month. So far so good with the Envoy. No problems, except for the "service 4WD" light on the dashboard that lights up every so often. I think it means nothing. I start it up again and it disappears.
SHOULD HAVE SHOPPED AROUND!!!
I LOOK AT VEHICLE ADS IN NEWSPAPERS AND SEE 2004 ENVOYS FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WHAT I GAVE FOR MY 2002. MY FAULT FOR NOT SHOPPING AROUND.I'M ALSO NOT TO IMPRESSED WITH THE GAS MIL- EAGE.I WISH I WOULD HAVE TEST DRIVEN A SANTA FE,I HEAR THEY GET GOOD GAS MILEAGE.
