13 years old and still an awesome SUV

If all the reviewer can complain about is sloppy cornering and a plastic feel interior then don't worry. My 2008 envoy is awesome, sure it's heavier on fuel but if you can't afford it buy something else. I stiffened my ride with some heavy duty shocks, a rough country leveling kit, some wheel spacers, bigger tires, ditched the running boards and now it rides amazing and yes it's a real truck! 4x4 up the dirt hills and over the rocks then back home. The leather cleans easily and the dashboard too when you spill your coffee at the gravel pit. I like the classic woody look on the dash especially since it has all the bells and whistles. If you want a real 4x4 SUV TRUCK then this is it.

Never Thought I Would Buy A GM Car

Never thought I would buy American let alone a GMC car. Drove the Envoy and it knocked my socks off. I'm hooked. OnStar is a winner and the car is fantastic. Only problem, I understand it goes away next year. The Arcadia is the replacement and a car I would never buy.

Smooth & Quiet

I previously owned other SUVs which road like trucks and were noisy on long rides. The Envoy has great power and better than the sticker fuel economy, 18 average, 20 or better on a trip. Seating is comfortable and OnStar works well.

Envoy Denali

I find the Envoy Denali to be a very wonderful product from GM. I recently had a 04 Trailblazer and the Envoy has a better ride style and the Denali package is excellent.

Uses 3 x the gas when touring my 3500# camper. Lags when towing up Hills. Rated for 5200# towing capacity. Runs great when not towing.

Nice Value SUV

I love the power that the V8 offers in this size of an SUV. I would agree with some that turning is very soft with this vehicle, but some like the smoothness that it gives you. I have yet to tow something with it, but can't wait. Bose stereo is great, and OnStar turn by turn is also great. With the pricing that they have for these vehicles right now, there isn't a better deal.

An excellent truck for the price. The Denali trim level looks great, we get compliments all the time. Great looking interior, we have the black leather with wood grain.

My Envoy

I traded in a 2007 Chevy Silverado crew cab that got 24 to 26 miles per gallon. My Envoy gets terrible gas mileage which is a bummer. Steering is hard to get used to, my truck was much smoother. Envoy is quiet as was my truck. I guess if you want something that is quiet, smooth, and gets good mileage buy a Silverado crew cab. Costs less than the Envoy and has much more room inside.

My favorite in the price range

I drove just about everything I thought I could get off the lot in the low $20K's. Everything felt like plastic junk. When I got in the Envoy I knew it was the one I wanted. Felt like luxury but in my price range. So far so good. Some minor issues with rattling noises that need fixed but other than that I'm pretty happy with it.
