Overview & Reviews

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.

• Plenty of cool options, strong six-cylinder power, attractive interior design.

• Numb steering, low-grade interior pieces, sloppy handling around corners.

  ENVOY 2002 REVIEW - 2004 GMC Envoy
  By DKW - November 22 - 2:00 am

  GREAT RIDE AND APPEARANCE. REALLY HAPPY WITH OVERALL LOOKS AND HANDLING. A LITTLE POOR ON THE MPG BUT THE OVERALL DRIVING EXPERIENCE MAKES UP FOR THIS. I WILL OWN ANOTHER ONE FOR SURE.

  Starting problem - 2004 GMC Envoy
  By Dan Charron - November 10 - 9:18 am

  I do not know if there is a recall on the ignition.I turn the key and all gauges on the cluster go crazy.I got to turn the key to off and keep on trying until it catches then its good to start. Also i had to replace all seals in the rear-end,some how water got in it with the other owner and around later November of 08 i started to hear a loud noise,i took it to the garage and they found i nice chunk of ice the belly of the rear-end. It cost me $1200.00 to replace all seals.I had to change both front wheel bearings and a left tie-rod at 89,000KM. I love my Envoy but they are very costly to repair..

  94000 miles of no repairs - 2004 GMC Envoy
  By ron9311 - August 17 - 11:15 pm

  Bought it new, 94k+ miles and no repairs 1st set of brakes @ 60K, 1 battery, 2 trans flushes. Its seen the dealer once for a small recall item and headlight bulb replacement. This vehicle has a dual personality. The body is a rugged truck-like body on frame design but the in-line 6 is more like a BMW engine. Its smooth and docile until you punch it. Once it downshifts all hell (and the 290 hp)breaks loose. Unlike most SUV engines its torque peaks @ 4700 rpm and it loves to rev. All and all its been a great vehicle.

  Pretty Damn Nice Car - 2004 GMC Envoy
  By Chris Da Greek - July 11 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car recently and I looked at the other cars which caught my eyes. Went to Nissan, Ford, Cadillac, and many others. Everything was either too pricy for nothing, or nothing in it. Since i had this car everything has been better for me. The ride is smoother, it didnt put a major hole in my pocket, and it fits me and my friends comfortably. The only downfall is, it drinks a good amount of gas. Thats the price you have to pay for reliability and a great SUV.

  I love my envoy - 2004 GMC Envoy
  By B cahan - January 21 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my envoy for 2 1/2 years and have had no trouble at all from it so far. I would recommend this car to anyone that loves suv type vehicles. The mileage is not great but 19-20 is ok if you are expecting it and not surprised by it. The pickup and is awesome for when you step on the gas it flys.

  Love my Envoy - 2004 GMC Envoy
  By twilene - January 13 - 2:35 pm

  I think Envoys are the best. I will buy another one after I get out of school. The only real problem I have ever had is that if there is a bump or crack in the road and you hit it too fast the car will feel like it is out of control and the gear shifter nut always comes loose causing the car not to move. I know when it acts up just to crawl under and tighten up the screw. The dealer wanted 200 for the part and I made my own.

  Envoy Road Hog in The Wind - 2004 GMC Envoy
  By Dennis R. Perkins - October 28 - 2:00 am

  I just took my first real trip on my new Envoy to southern Virginia on Interstate 95 and was exceptionally pleased with everything but the mileage, it was 14 mpg. I-95 is known as a very hard drive from Washington south, sometimes with 4 lanes of big trucks and everybody is running 70+. The Envoy had plenty of road acceleration to get up and go when needed and the vehicle handled very smooth among the big trucks and speedway drivers. Very pleased, but GM has got to get me more than 14 mpg on the highway.

  Good and Bad - 2004 GMC Envoy
  By Ray - July 14 - 9:39 pm

  I have enjoyed a lot about this car. I got it Jan of 2007 and it has been in the shop 2 or 3 times totaling about $2000. Its fun to drive and looks great but has broken down on me enough that I am now shopping for something else. The first repair was $1000 to reprogram the computer something or other. Then the battery died. The rubber around the doors has almost all fallen off, the power seat control panel just fell of the other day, and the cd player does not work. All sorts of check lights go on and off in the dash all the time and I still cant figure out how to work all the lighting! Like I said, pretty car and fun to have! And not all bad but personally not worth the monthly note!
