Still going strong.

A great vehicle. Owned it for 10 years plus years. Still stylish and dependable. It's a shame GMC no longer produces this model.

Great Car!

I wish GMC didn?t stop producing this car! It is very good and reliable car. It will be perfect if it had 3rd raw seating.

Nice ride and economical!

This car was great on trips, nice smooth ride, plenty of room and economical too! We have taken several trips to the beach and mountains and have enjoyed owning this vehicle. We have maintained it and will put it through Maryland State Inspection if you are titling it in Maryland.

Very good in all types of weather.

I love it. I wish they were still making them. The handling,ride,acceleration and having all wheel Drive, 4wd low and high with click of a switch is amazing. Also a lot of interior room and great for hauling.

Needed Comfort and Got it.

After test driving several different vehicles, all of which had wonderful toys, bells and whistles, that were just ho-hum, test driving this Envoy was like driving a living dream. The comfortable, quiet ride was unparalleled, and it took no persistence to persuade us to buy it. Absolutely love it.

Great reliable vehicle!

This SUV is one of the most reliable and rugged vehicles I have ever owned. Except for routine maintenance, I,ve never had any trouble with it and I just turned over 99.000 miles. The 4x4 is a great life saver for these snowy Iowa winters. This car is a keeper and I will recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Awesome Vehicle for the price!

My third Envoy. Once I drove one for a test ride, I was hooked. At the time I was driving about 2000 miles per week! I could drive 10 hours, and still feel great! Quiet Vehicle, stable and completely reliable on the first one, then upgraded to Denali with V8/4. Still have that one, but it needs an engine, which would cost more than it's worth. Bought a 2008, one owner, very low miles, and I'm in love again, until this engine goes out to lunch. As I read here, why did GM decide to stop making this vehicle?

Problem Vehicle

Purchased new. OK deal but problems soon begin. Both differentials leaked badly. Six times to repair. Spare tire mechanism a nightmere. Spare tire larger than others creates traction problem. Numerous electrical problems. Back up lights fill with water several times. Rear window wiper stops. Radio speakers apparently work per outdoor temperature. Three fail. Power window fails. Breaks soon replaced. Traction problem light always on. Wheel bearings replaced... And all within 6 years and 80,000 miles. Rediculous parts and labor costs. Won't buy another GMC. Second bad one.

Best SUV Vehicle I've ever owned...

I purchased this 2008 GMC Envoy SLE 4x4 in March 2010...The vehicle was USED had 20400 miles on it...! In Four years time have brought the mileage up to 36800...THE ENVOY runs like a TOP... On average 14.5 mpg around town in Anchorage... 19.5 on the Palmer/Wasilla Highway. I donot understand why Automobile Magazines downplay the ENVOY...Absolutely the BEST SUV VEHICLE I've ever owned... Other than normal wear & tear, Oil changes...periodic upkeep on the vehicle. I wish GMC hadn't discontinued the Model in 2009.
