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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
