    Very dependable vehicle

    This suv with a v8 5.3 has plenty of tow power and still gets 20 mpg hwy. It is inexpensive to repair or maintain. 7 passenger vehicle that's not too big.

    money pit

    We purchased this SUV a year and a half ago with 103,000 miles. Since then , the fuel gauge, the rear air ride suspension, the water pump, front brakes , and now the driver side front wheel bearing has been replaced. Not a reliable vehicle for a woman. Never again will I do business with the dealership I bought this thing from nor will I purchase another GMC. They may have been good in the past, but quality is now gone from most car manufacturer s today.

    Decent car

    Basically nice vehicle. I have the denali bought the car used, in 2011 good thing I purchased the extended warranty. head, air compressor, mother board and few other little things have been replaced. That being said don't know if car or previous owner are to blame. Comfort inside the car is very nice just a few things I would change the seat belt location cant be adjusted im 5'9" and cuts into my neck( bought a clip that's a pain to use but works for me) and the seal on the doors don't block out the air sound when driving highway sounds like window is cracked open when its not. Get compliments on it all the time when they ride in it.Room and doesn't look like a softball mom car :)

    2005 Envoy xlt

    Great vehicle, just bought it and love it! needs a little more legroom in front for a 6'4" guy but makes up with overall comfort. Very strong engine, great passing speed. Lots of room for cargo. Nothing bad to say.
