  2006 GMC Envoy 4.2 I6 - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By Ian Brown - April 12 - 10:31 pm

  I used to have a Jeep Wrangler with the 2.5 liter engine and the AX5 transmission. Tons of fun to drive, but the transmission is not a drivers transmission, I smoked two of them before trading it for my Envoy. The 4.2 I6 feels stronger than what GMC gives it credit for, the Envoy has a tighter turning radius than my old Jeep! And it is absolutely wonderful to drive! It has excellent driving manners, and you can feel vehicle response in your feet and hands with nothing left vague. My cockpit space feels luxurious and my daughter cant quit raving about the lavish wood grain interior, ventilation, leather seats and well appointed use of chrome. I dont miss my jeep in the least.

  Love It - 2006 GMC Envoy

  I cant understand all the complaints about the Envoy. Must be other brand dealers trying to kill sales. I have had this one over 2 years and presently have 113,000 miles on it with no issues at all. Bought it used with 46000 on it and will buy another if I can find one. The only mistake GM made was going from this to the Arcadia. Mine has the 4.2 4wd, will go anywhere and pull anything I want to.

  Reliable vehicle - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By Reliable and Love it - August 2 - 9:28 am

  I really love this SUV. It has been very reliable so far and have not had any problems. Of course, it is the DENALI, everything is top of the line. The leather seats are comfortable, the vehicle rides smoothly and havent had any problems these four years. I would also like to point out that the regular mpg in the city is 16.5 / 17 but on the highway I noticed that on our last trip it did 22 mpg, which I think that for the size and weight of this vehicle was pretty good. I definitely would recommended.

  Love it! - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By Angela - July 20 - 2:03 pm

  I picked out this SUV for my husband. He had an old Chevy Blazer in high school that he really loved and missed it. The Envoy was the closest thing I could find that would suit both our needs. We test drove it and immediately fell in love with it. Drives just as smooth as the Chevy Impala we had and the engine was quiet yet powerful. Very comfortable and the interior design was exactly like the Impala as well. So we didnt have to get used to finding everything. I recommend this SUV to anyone whos looking for a powerful engine that gets great gas mileage and is reliable, comfortable, and sporty.

  Love it! - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By loveit - March 13 - 1:57 am

  Love my envoy,but after 2 months of owning it the connector rod for the heating/a/c went out and needed to be fixed but that was only minor at $216. This is the most comfortable car i have owned and the fastest car, it has great pick up power and for gas mileage its really not that bad for the size of this vehicle. I would recommend it to anyone. Matter of fact i let my co-worker drive and she went out and bought one 2 weeks later.

  Big Positive Surprise - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By sisu - June 15 - 7:50 pm

  I would buy this vehicle again. The engine and transmission is smooth with good power. I can tell you, if you go easy on the gas, and travel down the highway you will get 20-23 mpg. I use a light touch and go 55-60 mph on cruise. I coast to stops around town. I use synthethic oil. I keep the tires properly inflated. Very good in snow and wet weather. Smooth excellent ride. No excessive bumping over rough roads R.R. etc. I have had no problem with the car. This car does not have enough ground clearance for a 4WD, on the beach I have problems with the ground clearance. A hand grab on roof for the driver, not there. More and better cup holders.

  Reliable, fun to drive. Excellent in the snow. Only problem so far was a flasher module that was covered under warranty. Great truck. Take it anywhere.

  By Ron - October 19 - 4:42 pm

  Very comfortable on long drives. V8 has lots of power and good gas mileage for the size. Been averaging 22 highway and 18.5 overall. Back seats could be set further back to allow more room for passengers, and would allow seats to fold flat with front seats back.

  2006 Envoy Denali - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By Rathead - January 20 - 8:25 am

  Quiet, fast, and smooth, and good fuel mileage. I have no complaints. This vehicle is so much better than any other competitors, and I expect reliability to be better as well.

  Affordable comfort and luxury - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By Cindy Barranco - November 25 - 5:46 am

  It took me 3 years to find an SUV with the right price, comfort level, features, interior and exterior appearance and driving experience, but when I did, I knew that this was the car for me. Not once have I ever had buyers remorse. I hope this GM vehicle continues to make me proud.
