  Clearly a Winner for GM - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By R. Neall - July 25 - 6:41 pm

  Having owned a Ford Explorer, I have that as a comparison for my new Envoy. To be honest, there is no comparison. The ride is light years smoother, and despite the professionals viewpoint, it handles corners just fine. It is not a sports car. Im very pleased with the interior room, and it has a great sound system. The XM radio is great on trips. My wife is the trucks prime driver, and knowing that she has OnStar puts my mind at ease. I highly recommend this vehicle.

  What a great SUV! Terriffic ride and performance. Gas mileage is about what I would expect (14.4 / 17.2). The interior and exterior are nicely finished. With the 3rd. row of seats down, I can carry all my fishing gear and passengers without a problem.

  Great ride and handling. The turn radius is excelent for the size. it has all the bells for fun, but also serious power when needed. Theres safety in size. Suprisingly good gas mileage for size and type.

  Nice Vehicle - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By R. A. Pasheilich - July 18 - 12:26 am

  The Envoy is a very comfortable vehicle. I traded in a Ford Explorer with 58,000 miles on the odometer. The Envoy is a much more comfortable ride. The navigation radio is easy to use and the DVD player is great for the kids. The 275HP six is best in class. I considered a new Explorer, but found the features and ride of the GMC to be superior.

  Nice car - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By rob galla - July 16 - 1:32 pm

  This SUV has a great ride and handles more like a car. Moments into the test drive, I knew I would purchase this vehicle. I bought a black one with gray interior. The interior is roomy for the front and rear passengers.The A/C is great front and rear, and the stereo is also prime.

  Great vehicle - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Nancy Hill - July 10 - 10:49 pm

  I really enjoy driving the Envoy. I feel the handling is great, and it is very quite inside when the windows are up. The ride is smooth, and love the v8 for acceleration. The only faults on the interior are the clock is too small, and its hard to get to the cup holder above the gear shift on the console. I love the room in the back, but I wish the seats folded down a bit flatter. I love the idea of the built in air compressor.

  I went from a full size Yukon to the Envoy. I love the car and it performs and handles much better than the larger vehicle. If you have more than one child this car may not be for you.

  Envoy Envy - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By ed nasrey - June 27 - 7:59 pm

  This is one of the finest vehicles Ive ever driven. The vehicle looks great and handles perfectly. I feel proud driving my Envoy, and it seems I have plenty of other Envoy company on the road as well. The vehicle is sporty, has good design features and is loaded with fine accents.

  Test drive for yourself - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Bob Larson - June 15 - 6:26 pm

  Our GMC Envoy is an outstanding vehicle. The ride quality and quiet interior (thanks in part to the power rear glass that separates the cargo area in the XUV) are soothing on the highway. The chassis and steering are more-than-competent in real world driving--this is not a track racer! Amenities are first rate. The new leather seating impresses, the V8 is silky sweet, and the value of OnStar should not be underestimated in comparisons. We like the new touchscreen Nav system and XM radio. Its sad that the XUV roof is being dropped in 06, being a major leap in versatility and beautifully executed. Lovable!

  I love my Envoy! - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Lori - June 13 - 8:29 pm

  I absolutely love the GMC Envoy. I shopped for 6 months looking at similar vehichles and am very happy with my choice. The dealer was wonderful and so was GMAC financing. There was a little ping sound with my interior lights, so I just took it in and they fixed it right away, while I waited for free. There are no loopholes in their warranty, unlike my husbands experience with his Ford Explorer a few years ago.
