This Year's Model Updates:

Long overdue for a redesign, GMC's all-new Envoy finally gets the goods to compete in the highly competitive midsize SUV segment. An all-aluminum inline six-cylinder engine replaces the aging 4.3-liter V6, and a revised suspension dramatically improves the ride. Unlike the 2000 Envoy that was virtually indistinguishable from its Chevrolet and Oldsmobile siblings, the 2002 model now sports a new look that is unique to the GMC brand.

Pros:
  • Sharp exterior styling, strong six-cylinder power, attractive interior design.
Cons:
  • Numb steering, plasticky interior pieces, feels tippy in the twisties.

  • Not happy - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Weve had nothing but problems with the driver 1 and 2 mirror settings working correctly. It has been in at least 6 times for this and has never been fixed. We also get a clunking noise from the rear differential that they can not diagnose. This vehicle is about 20 months old and has been into the shop at least 10 times.

  • Excellent SUV - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Having owned several SUVs, I am glad to say this one is the best I have driven. The 6 cylinder engine has the power of a V8, yet much smoother. It handles well, but has some body roll when cornering. However this is to be expected of a large vehicle. I have to agree with many of the comments that the personalization buttons dont belong on the steering wheel, dedicate them for CD functions. I have had some problems with the memory features, and had to turn them off.

  • A GMC YUCKVOY - 2002 GMC Envoy

    HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT !!!!!, OK Ill give the style and looks an 8. I should have stuck with a foreign manufactures vehicle and not gone back to American made. Bad gas mileage, too many recalls, too many times in the shop. A/C has never worked properly when you first start the vehicle and 3 dealers have no clue how to fix it. More paint chips than chips ahoy cookies

    Great vehicle & fun to drive!

  • Fun Car - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Purchased in October 2001. Have decent fuel mileage of 19mpg. Mirrors never return to the preset position and seats frequently do not. Cup holders are poorly placed and there is just not enough front seat storage. Compressor failed with 10000 miles on car. Having said all this negative stuff, the car has outstanding styling and is fun to drive. The extras (Note taking, homelink, bose stereo, etc) make it a lot of fun. All in all a good car.

  • Dont Make My Mistake - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I like the styling & handeling of the vehicle. Quality wise, its the worst vehicle Ive owned since my 1974 Maverick. Ive had more things replaced/repaired then I have space to list in this review. GMC customer service says there sorry. Dealer says there sorry. I dont think either are as sorry as I am for buying the heap of scrap.

  • NEW ENGINE AT 3000 MILES - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I BOUGHT THIS ENVOY IN JULY 2001, THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD IT IN THEIR GARAGE AS MUCH AS IT HAS BEEN IN MINE. AFTER 6 MONTHS AND 3000 MILES GM FINALLY DECIEDED TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN AFTER FINDING 2 DEAD CYLINDERS, NOT TO MENTION THE COUNTLESS TIMES IT HAS BEEN IN FOR GAGE PROBLEMS,BUMPER,ELECTRICAL,THE DEALER HAD IT FOR 5 MONTHS WAITING FOR GM TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO! AFTER BEING A LOYAL GM FAN FOR 17 CARS, NO MORE GM. THAT WAS MY LAST ONE!!!!

  • reliability? - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I have owned my Envoy since April 2002 and have loved the way it handled and its reliablity. My transmission began making noises a month ago and went totally out the other day leaving me stranded. It was towed to the dealership and they replaced the valve body. I have always felt safe and depended on my Envoy. Now I am considering trading it in on another type SUV all together. My dream SUV has become a potential nightmare!

  • Nice Product! - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    After a year of owning this SUV, we are pleased overall. Very comfortable to drive, average mileage. I have owned Expedition, Explorers, etc. and am pleased to move back to GM. Im having a little difficulty adjusting to size after Expedition. Only one small problem in a year (leaking water). Good performance in the 6 cyl engine! Very quiet to drive. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

  • Good by GM - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I have bought 8 new vehicles in the last 5 years, 3 of them from GM , all of them have been nothing but trips back to the Dealer. My new Envoy $37,325 peice of junk, wipers stopped working twice in the middle of a snow storm (replaced censor) the front bumper had to be reattached the AC stopped working. The rattles underneath sound like the truck is old. (4800)The front drivers seat Squeeks and now a recall that the engine block could crack and the electrical system (dash board) could fail, Two recalls in the same month. I have only 4800 miles on this truck and I just sold it for a TOYOTA, never again GM.
