2004 GMC Envoy

I have owned this GMC Envoy EL since it was brand new. Overall, it has performed quite well. Some minor problems have occurred. I had to replace the instrument cluster with less than 25,000 miles on it. Currently with over 130,000 miles I am having trouble with the "service engine"light coming on even after replacement of certain filters, etc. It will not stay off. Overall, though it has been a great framily vehicle!

I recently bought the GMC Envoy XUV SLT and I love it. I use it to commute, travel and occasionally for cargo as well as towing my jetski. The power, heated, leather seats are more comfortable than I thought they would be. With the midgate glass closed and the dual front temp. and rear temp. controls, managing the temp. in this vehicle is a cinch. After folding the seats and the midgate, putting the top in the forward position and opening the endgate glass I was left with plenty of cargo space. I get an Avg. of 18.5 MPG which is more than I got with my Blazer which had an avg. of 15 MPG. Considering the Envoy is bigger than the Balzer and the engines are comparable that is a big difference. The ride is extremely smooth with nice response and good handling. I was thrilled with the 2 person memory drivers seat. I hate getting in the car after my wife has driven and having to reposition my seat and mirrors. After setting up my position every time I unlock the doors with the keyless remote the seat positions itself to my setting and when my wife uses her remote it sets itslef to her position. Not only does it set the seats, it also sets the mirrors.
Other features include, Onstar, power moon roof, defrosting mirrors, radio controls on the steering wheel, power windows and door locks, tow package and 4WD. This vehicle has a lot and I am satisfied and impressed. The only drawback I see is the standard stereo that this vehicle comes with and this is why I gave a 4 for quality and craftsmanship. The sound is mediocre for a 6 speaker system and the features the radio has does not make up for the lack of power. A vehicle like this, which comes with so much should never come with a radio like this. The Bose system should not be an option, it should be the standard for this vehicle. If your looking for an SUV this is it.

These are all around great trucks i have bout and sold many of them through my used car dealership in michigan. they are an all around good long lasting vehicle.

My 2004 GMC Envoy is going off a SmartBuy in 4 months and I will be trading it in for something. It has been a wonderful vehicle and I've had a good experience with this suv. I have the SLT extended version with the 3rd row seats and the V-8...LOVE IT!! It has stability control and traction control. It has vertually no roll in curves and you can feel it level itself out in hard curves. Stay off the break in curves. Break before a curve and then get off the break and let the vehicle do what it was made to do. I have had Vettes and Camaros and this big suv drives and performs like a sports car on steriods. I get 18 mpg in crowded city streets and on open highways I get just over 20 mpg. I have 37,000 miles on mine and it's not even broke in yet. If taken care of I think this suv will go for at least 200,000 miles. I have enjoyed it. I've raised my kids and they don't need me to haul around baseball equipment, skate boards, pets, and girls any longer. Honestly, if I still had need for this much space I would keep it and pay it off. I don't need this much space now. That's the only reason I will part with it in 4 or 5 months when the SmartBuy ends. If you don't drive a lot of miles, like me, you should consider a SmartBuy!! This suv was sticker price of $40,000. I got it for $420.00 a month on a SmartBuy. Zero down, I had no trade in, and it was brand new with 7 miles on it. For $420.00 a month! Insurance has not been high. State Farm insured it for $75.00 a month. I have enjoyed driving it. I have NO COMPLAINTS what so ever about this vehicle. I'll miss it when I turn it in.
