i am impressed with the v8 like engine and rain sensing wipers. The stability control proved it self very useful when it saved me from a 60mph accident... it handles superbly on the snow and mountains with minimal engine groans... i happened to lean on the center console and the whole thing came up and dislodged itself i simply clicked it right back. i HATE the rear seats there is very little leg room and are very inconvenient to fold. after a year of owning it, we heard an odd buzz we took it to a dealer and it turned out to be a sensor. Another complaint is that the power adjustable seats broke down on the drivers side and the doors screech and the lift gate window opens when it wants to.
Fantastic vehicle

Purchased in 2018 with 150k miles as we needed to replace our 2001 Lumina, who had almost 300k miles and was beginning to have engine problems. It's currently at 183k miles and climbing. The 2006 Envoy SLE gets decent gas mileage for its size and age, and provides its driver with a comfortable, secure mode of transportation. In the years we've owned it, we've only had to replace the waterpump. Never once left any of us stranded outside of that incident, and even then, I was able to drive it to the mechanic 10 miles away. GM vehicles seem to have problems with the brakelights/taillights not wanting to work. But it's a miniscule problem and does not affect the driveability at all. The third brakelight on the rear hatch works fine without issue. If you're in the market for a reliable, comfortable, versatile SUV, you're lookin' at it. Toyota and Honda are fantastic, you can find some nice Fords out there. But there's something so priceless about getting a GM vehicle to last. 2022 update: He’s still goin’ strong. He recently made a 500 mile trip without even thinking about it.

We weren't even considering GMCs when we came across this SUV. We love it. We were actually test driving a Buick Rendezvous at the time. It is a heavy old-school SUV but for the price range it was very nice and solid inside and out. Gas is $4 a gal now and we are rethinking it but still a great car!
Love it!

I picked out this SUV for my husband. He had an old Chevy Blazer in high school that he really loved and missed it. The Envoy was the closest thing I could find that would suit both our needs. We test drove it and immediately fell in love with it. Drives just as smooth as the Chevy Impala we had and the engine was quiet yet powerful. Very comfortable and the interior design was exactly like the Impala as well. So we didn't have to get used to finding everything. I recommend this SUV to anyone who's looking for a powerful engine that gets great gas mileage and is reliable, comfortable, and sporty.
Happy Driver

I love my Envoy. For a truck the handling is wonderful. Great pick-up in the 6 cyl and a very comfortable drive. I splurged on top of the line interior and it is well worth it. My biggest complaint is the very noisy air conditioning system. Unless you have it on low it is very noticable and annoying. Also the back windows cannot be opened unless the front are also open or you have a very uncomfortable air compression going on. Small problems to put up with compared to the very positive performance, style and comfort. I love the OnStar feature. Well worth the small cost.

I loved loved loved the Envoy at first. After about 2 years of owning it, the seat adjuster went out ($600 to replace), then the window stopped working on the driver side door, the ac went out. There are 6 shock things in the engine....had to replace 1-2 every 6 months ($300 each). Then 4th year, motor goes out ($6000 brand new or $4000 used). Would not recommend to anyone. Also, as your driving, the headlights go out.....for no apparent reason. I was going down the road at night....NO STREET LIGHTS.....I could have been killed!
Great ride best vehical I ever owened

Bought the 2006 Envoy SLE in Oct 2008. Things went well for a while, but after the first 6 months of driving, been nothing by problem after problem. Engine had high pitched squeal which was bad bearings in idler pulley. Then the spare tire would not come off the underside. Had to cut the cable and replace the entire spare tire holder. Fuel gauge quit working. And most recently, had to replace water pump. Bearings shot in that too and can't even do it yourself without a "special tool." I will NEVER buy another GMC and I hope GM goes under because of their selling of product with such horrible reliability.
Is it just me?

Love the car/truck, nicest car I've ever owned. At 58,000 miles I've had to replace both the transmission and the motor. I didn't bother to get the extended warranty because of my false belief that I was buying a quality product that would last. GM has graciously picked up half the transmission cost ($1600) and all but $1650 of the new motor job. I have put 4000 dollars in repair costs into this car in the last 2 months. Not at all happy about this. Love the vehicle..just bummed out about the problems...will probably go foreign next time..Benz or BMW

I purchased my 2006 Envoy used from Carmax when it had 32,000 miles on it. At the time we bought it, it was making a whining noise from the motor, which the salesman assured us was normal. It was not normal. Left me broke down on the side of the road when the idler pulley broke and tore up the sepenteine belt. Fuel gauge no longer works and check engine light stays on. More recently my driver's side door squeks badly and one of the shocks on my back hatch blew out. I wanted to get a brand new Acadia but not sure I want to purchase another GMC. They do not even have any recalls for any of the problems. Do not buy..
