This Year's Model Updates:

For 2004, the Envoy adds several items to the options list, including XM Satellite Radio (and a new stereo to accommodate it), a DVD-based navigation system and adjustable pedals. There are also a few minor equipment changes this year. In SLE models, the door trim is now vinyl instead of cloth, and lumbar adjustment for the front seats is two-way manual rather than the previous four-way feature. Additionally, there is no longer a power outlet in the cargo area, and SLE badging will no longer grace the B-pillars. SLT models also get a revised steering wheel. Lastly, when playing a DVD in Envoys with the optional entertainment system, you can now hear it through the audio system in addition to the wireless headphones.

Pros:
  • Plenty of cool options, strong six-cylinder power, attractive interior design.
Cons:
  • Numb steering, low-grade interior pieces, sloppy handling around corners.

  • Good old 2004 Envoy - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    This has been a good experience from the get go. No problems, followed GM maintenance schedule, not dealers. It is high enough that you get good visibility, comfortable ride and interior and exterior paint have held up very good. The gas mileage could be better but it gets 20mpg on a highway trip. Not great but acceptable. Around town, rural area, it gets 17-18 mpg.

  • Edmunds is Harsh - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Overall this is an excellent vehicle; I am baffled by Edmunds harsh review. The engine and transmission are great, the ride very "Cadillac-like", excellent interior room. I traded my 02 Trailblazer with 60K miles on it (and no problems in that time). I am pleased to have purchased an American vehicle that stands up to the rest (admitting my other vehicle is a 03 BMW convertible)

    Bought this vehicle as new because of the spacious interior (had third seat option) and ability to pull a boat. Luckily, I purchased and extended warranty. However, I still have a $200 deductible to pay for each repair. Thus far, I have already had to replace the radiator and water pump. The vehicle is back in the shop today for replacement of the back lift gate window hinges, and for an engine rattle. I have also had occasional problems with the "Service 4WD" coming on at random times. In addition to mechanical issues, the highway and air noise when driving is fairly annoying.

  • Awesome ride! - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Wow! What a comfortable ride in this SUV! As soon as I test drove (24 hour GM test drive special) the SLT model of the Envoy, I was in love. SLT model had some incredible bells & whistles. Although, we chose the SLE b/c we wanted cloth interior. Have been really impressed w/ the quality of interior & ride. Seats have confort & pleny of room for cargo & kids.

  • LOVE MY ENVOY - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I GOT MY ENVOY IN SEPTEMBER 2003. I LOVE DRIVING IT I FEEL VERY SAFE ON THE FREEWAY. I TRAVEL ALOT AND HAVE NO COMPLAINTS. WEVE ALSO WENT UP TO SEQUOIA PARK AND IT WAS GREAT WITH ALL THE TURNS. THE RIDE WAS VERY SMOOTH.

  • Outstanding SUV! - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I bought this one used a year ago. I have driven it to and from work and on long trips several times and am very pleased with everything about it. After putting 20K miles on it - I have had zero problems. I average 18 - 19 mpg work and back, 21+ on long trips and 16 pulling a bass boat. Love the power and ride!

  • A-1 - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Due to the fact I live in a national forest next to a higher elevation mountain, and I can easily have snow and ice when the lower lands do not, I need 4wd. My Envoy is "peppy" and comfortable. There is plenty of room for driver, passengers, and baggage. I could easily rate my Envoy a 9.5.

  • DONT DO IT - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    i dont know who the people are writing these other reviews....but the envoy is a junker. it is an overpriced test car for GMC. I have had too many problems with this vehicle in the past 4 months. I wish I read some of the other reviews before buying. interior design, appears nice, but is inconvenient and cheaply made. constant service problems, that cannot be fixed.

  • Good old "JIMMY" - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    IM printing about a 1996 Jimmy. I have been driving for 64 years and, in that time, have owned an awful array of vehicles. My present vehicle is a 1996 Jimmy. Without reservations, I can say it is the finest piece of machinery I have ever owned!! It has never failed me or my wife. We would like to buy another "JIMMY" but are worried that it would not match the one we own.
