Powerful and reliable, reasonable mpg.

The V-8 has ample power for this SWB truck, and great tow vehicle with 3.73 4x4. Low mileage for me but after 95k the only surprise was replacing the fuel-level indicator. Reading of potential AFM issues, I disabled this feature and found it does not impact fuel economy. Since disabling AFM, no longer has excessive oil consumption common with this 5.3.

Perfect Combination of ruggedness and comfort

The Envoy It’s a very comfortable and powerful SUV. The towing capabilities were perfect for our family getaway to the lake. The 4.2L V6 engine is powerful enough for the hills and straightaways. The marriage between the transmission and the engine was almost flawless. The convenience of the fold flat seats Made the cargo space Perfect for carrying practically anything. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, style and practicality!The safety features are abundant as well!

Lots of get-up and go for the Denali V8. Fun on the performance side. Ride is good. Seats are a little stiff and flat (for bucket seats). Nice ride height to see around cars in front of you. Easy in and out of the car. Narrow wheel base makes side-to-side swaying more noticable. Enjoy the Denali!

Most reliable car I've owned!

100% Reliable! I would absolutely recommend this vehicle to anyone interested! The 6-cylindar Vortec Engine was one of the best engines ever built! Very happy owner!

Reliable, comfy ride.

Starts easy, runs smooth. Never leaks or burns any oil. Transmission shifts smoothly. A/C works very well!! Heater too! Plenty of legroom and headroom for tall driver/passengers.

Excellant SUV!

Very smooth ride with lots of power and all the bells and whistles. I have owned for about two years and intended for it to be a keeper so I replaced everything that wasn't in good order. New AC compressor, brakes, tires and a complete tune up.

Worst car I have ever owned

Stuck with a car that had a weak spot in frame. 12 in long hole in main frame. Your cars are garbage. Worst place I have ever ever ever bought from. This news after entire front suspension needed work, all ball joints tie rods, control arms, a power steering line cracked damage hidden...an accident that was not on the Carfax. And a new transmission we had to replace not even 6 months after buying it. I can go on and on.. the trunk latch no longer works, wipers gone haywire.. . An electrical issue in dash. Dry rotted tires. ... GARBAGE. Take your money elsewhere. And words of wisdom kdk..i have i inspection report from two weeks after we purchased the garbage envoy..and many other inspections and reciepts of repairs all within 6 months. I can gladly post the many pieces of proof I have you sold me a lemon!!!
