  This is a solid truck. The power is awesome. It is comfortable on long trips and has a good amount of room. It is fun to drive and handles well and has excellent brakes.

  Enjoy the Envoy. - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Nooper pooperson - June 30 - 1:52 pm

  I bought my Envoy because I needed a cheaper car than what I had so I didnt expect much. But this SUV is unbelieveable. The power from this 4.2 I6 is outstanding (290 HP) The ride is the smoothest of any SUV Ive ever ridden in. My Envoy Is Superior Blue Metallic with the gray interior and when cleand up this car shines, especially the 17" polished aluminum wheels. The only drawback is gas mileage. Around 13MPG in town which is not what I expected out of a 6 Cyl. But all of the standard features make up for it.

  GREAT SUV! - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By mkquigs - May 11 - 2:37 pm

  I have had my Envoy for about a year and other than one glitch with the fuel gauge, it has been a pleasure to own. It drives great, looks awesome, has great space and the fuel consumption really isnt that bad. Note to people who want great fuel efficiency: Dont buy an SUV!! Duh! I love my Envoy and would recommend one to anyone. This is coming from a guy who swore he would never buy an American car!

  One Great Truck - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By bmarkdc - December 31 - 10:58 pm

  I bought my truck in June 2005 and absolutely love it. The power is great the styling is sharp and the quality is impressive. A week after I bought it, I was sideswiped by a semi. The crash protection is amazing. The truck stood up very well and had I been in my old Camry not sure what would have happened.

  Great Value - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Phillip - December 22 - 2:42 pm

  I looked at several SUVs including Grand Cherokee,Commander and Explorer, but for the money you can not beat the Envoy XL.The 3rd seat has more leg room than our old 99 Suburban.It drives great and for the money you get a whole lot more options.

  2005 Envoy Denali - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Theroider - November 30 - 9:32 pm

  Drives like a dream. Solid ride. Extremely quiet at cruising speed. Very agile to maneuver. My wife, who never thought she would care for a truck, now only drives the TRUCK! I cannot get her out of it. It is extremely stylish and not very common on the road (Denali version). Interior design is exceptional. Its not typical GM plastic on top of fake wood. There is actually real wood on the steering wheel. Nice touch!

  2005 Envoy Denali XL - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By ehackerson - September 20 - 2:01 am

  We have had this truck for one month now and love it. There is plenty of room for the three kids and it drives like a dream. I was nervous about moving from a wagon to an SUV, but the Envoy XL is so easy for me to handle...it drives more like a car than a truck. The third row of seats is large enough for adults so plenty of room for the kids as they grow. There are so many conveniences for the driver: the passenger side mirror automatically adjusts during back-up, can set pedals for comfort, the seats are super comfortable. The best thing is that it is not guzzling a lot of gas...the Displacement on Demand must be working!

  Envoy enjoyment - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By charle a duke - September 15 - 8:07 am

  This is my second GMC Envoy purchased since it was first introduced. The 2005 offers exellent ride qualities and performance. The 4.2l i6 is smooth and quiet with acceptable fuel economy. The Bose sound system eliminates any wind/road noise that may exist. The self leveling rear suspension works great, but the compressor sounds somewhat strange while outside the running vehicle. I have changed the SLE grille to 2006 Denali version for an added styling que. GM has done a great job as far as Im concerned. Due to a hard to find package I was trying to locate, I compared the Ford Explorer and found that the Envoy is by far the best bargain in its class.

  SLT Review - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Michael Milbourne - August 12 - 3:41 pm

  My wife brought this automobile home from the dealership. At first look I wasnt impressed at all. Then I got in and drove. WOW, I was impressed. Satellite radio, leather, sunroof, adjustable pedals, and nice ride. I had rented a Ford Escape for a recent trip to Fla. and was glad to turn it in when the trip was over, but I really liked the Envoy. I find myself finding excuses to drive it. And the GM incentives (employee pricing) made it a no-brainer. I would buy another tomorrow if something happened to this one.
