The Best Mid SUV From GM!

I have owed 4 Chey TrailBlazers and the Envoy beats it hands down. The ride is beyond smooth and it drives and handles like a car. Chevy needs to learn from their sister company GMC. This SUV sticker shows 21 mpg on the highway, but mine averaged 26.5mpg over 20 miles at 55 on cruise control. You can't beat that TrailBlazer.... GMC great job!

I have owned my GMC Envoy for over 2 years now. I drive my truck usually on weekends and for road trips. I had only 3 problems so far. The first was the wiring harness going to the left tail light, the center 12 vdc adapter blew a fuse. Thirdly, my gear shifter handle became loose. This will be my last american vehicle that I will buy.
Best SUV I've every owned.

It's a terrific automobile from the horsepower to the added features that Denali adds.

This V6 Envoy turns out to be a lemon! From the beginning it had that terrible engine smell. My 3 year old goes promplty to sleep within minutes during the ride. However, we were alarmed about the noisy brakes, oil leaks & being a gas guzzler! (The old rental uses much less gas and has smooth brakes!) We took it to a shop and found out about the AC leakage. Probably that's why my son always ends up sleeping! The mechanic had to order a big part from GMC - I think it's the transmission. He'll fix the gas guzzling problem too! However, I'm afraid to be in this vehicle. I wanted a refund or a new vehicle.
I love my GMC Denali Envoy

This is the 5th SUV that I have owned and by far the best. The ride and way it handles far outclasses any other SUV I"ve had. It's a gorgeous looking car also. So far though, I've only been getting 12 mpg and was told that I"d get 15-17. I"m not happy about that.
Denali...great buy

I researched many SUV's when I was going to buy my vehicle. I test drove many SUV's including the luxury ones. This was one of my smoother test drives and I just fell in love with it. Great new design on the outside and the ammenities inside are outstanding. i have had my Denali for about a month and I have gotten so many complements on it. Smooth, reliable,safe, stylish and its just an all around smart vehicle. I love it!

Quiet, fast, and smooth, and good fuel mileage. I have no complaints. This vehicle is so much better than any other competitors, and I expect reliability to be better as well.

I would buy this vehicle again. The engine and transmission is smooth with good power. I can tell you, if you go easy on the gas, and travel down the highway you will get 20-23 mpg. I use a light touch and go 55-60 mph on cruise. I coast to stops around town. I use synthethic oil. I keep the tires properly inflated. Very good in snow and wet weather. Smooth excellent ride. No excessive bumping over rough roads R.R. etc. I have had no problem with the car. This car does not have enough ground clearance for a 4WD, on the beach I have problems with the ground clearance. A hand grab on roof for the driver, not there. More and better cup holders.
Love it!

Love my envoy,but after 2 months of owning it the connector rod for the heating/a/c went out and needed to be fixed but that was only minor at $216. This is the most comfortable car i have owned and the fastest car, it has great pick up power and for gas mileage its really not that bad for the size of this vehicle. I would recommend it to anyone. Matter of fact i let my co-worker drive and she went out and bought one 2 weeks later.
Could be better

The drive is fair. I love the power of the 4.2 AWD. Brakes are mushy, drinks a lot of gas. The ride is so so. I had a Buick Rendezvous with a much better ride

Fun to drive in the short period I've had it. Easy to park, good vision. I wish the seat would fold flat.
Great car -- just got my second one

My new 2006 Envoy replaces my 2003 Envoy which just come off lease. I never took the 2003 back to the dealership for ANY type of repair. The styling is great and the ride is very comfortable. I drive 99% on open roads and want a vehicle that rides smoothly, which the Envoy does. I also own a 2005 Corvette (I know - a bragger) but I just want to say I often use the Envoy because it's just easier and more relaxing to drive. GM might go Chapter 11, but they are making very good cars!
Excellent SUV - 1st Domestic in 15 years

This is the 1st Domestic SUV I have purchased in over 15 years. I am very satisfied so far. I was sold on the red tag promotion from GM. This SUV is powerful, comfortable, user friendly and has plently of features for the price. The satellite radio is great and the OnStar for a year was also a great selling point. I would definitely recommend this SUV.
What a great MidSize

The Envoy rides incredibly smooth and handles quite well. I read the reviews prior to buying and wasn't expecting much in the way of handling so maybe my expectations were low; However,I think the Envoy handles quite well for a vehicle of it's size. I am equally impressed with the power. It accelerates very smoothly both from a stop and highway driving. The tranny shifts smoothly and it's tough to even feel when it "kicks down" to pass. The interior is roomy, quiet, and comfortable. Controls are easily accesible and the Bose stereo system is flawless. The interior looks very nice, but I can see quality becoming and issue if it is abused, but normal use shouldn't be an issue.

My Envoy rides and drives great. I owned a Trailblazer before the Envoy. The In-Line 6 cylinder is peppy, not a gas hog and great on the highway.
Affordable comfort and luxury

It took me 3 years to find an SUV with the right price, comfort level, features, interior and exterior appearance and driving experience, but when I did, I knew that this was the car for me. Not once have I ever had buyer's remorse. I hope this GM vehicle continues to make me proud.
Wind Noise

I have owned this vehicle for 6 months now. I have returned it to the dealership 3 times with complaints of excessive wind noise on the driver side. No matter what is done to it, it seems the noise level increases. I have been told that this is an inherent quality of large mirrors. I traded my Yukon Denali with large mirrors. I did not have this problem with the Yukon. I would like to know if other owners of this vehicle are having the same issue. I am at wits end! PS- What happened to a courtesy light under the hood and in the glove compartment?

Reliable, fun to drive. Excellent in the snow. Only problem so far was a flasher module that was covered under warranty. Great truck. Take it anywhere.

It appears the Envoy has issues with the transmission!! We bought a used 1 an did not even get 1st payment made before it went out. We then found out this is a known problem. My advice is run away an do NOT look back!!!

Best SUV I've ever owned

I can't say enough about my Envoy (Denali) trim. It is by far the best SUV I've ever owned. I love the DOD feature which improves the gas mileage substantially. I'm in Canada and have 383K km on it so far and still going strong. Only work done on it was to replace the suspension around the 250K km mark which is not unreasonable. It has a very smooth ride with the air bag suspension. The interior feels luxurious as it has the leather seats and wood grain trim. The highway handling is excellent. Easy to park too. I've made great use of the split seats for cargo. I added an after market transmission cooler and have used it to haul two horses. An all round fantastic SUV.
Envoy rating Excellent

We have leased our Envoy for 5 month's and enjoy the look, ride and the handling. Had a friend of the family ask about our Envoy, after talking to him they have decided on an Envoy later this spring if the price is right! Envoy sales itself! A great SUV. My whole family likes driving in it and riding it because of the room and all your safety features.
