This Year's Model Updates:

For 2003, Envoy buyers are able to order certain options individually, rather than as part of an equipment package, adding potential savings and increased flexibility. The sport-ute's already powerful Vortec 4.2-liter inline six also gets a slight bump in horsepower, up from 270 to 275, and Envoys now boast a new four-position headlamp switch that permits drivers to turn off the vehicle's daytime running lamps and automatic headlamps when necessary. Additionally, the Envoy gets a larger fuel tank that holds 22 gallons. Previously standard side airbags are now optional, while autodimming side mirrors and the rear seat overhead compartment have been deleted.

Pros:
  • Plenty of cool options, strong six-cylinder power, attractive interior design.
Cons:
  • Numb steering, plasticky interior pieces, feels tippy in the twisties.

  • Great comfort and towering views - 2003 GMC Envoy

    Im pleased with the ride and control I have at all speeds. I bought a base model and it is very confortable. Only issue is base radio is not that good and my transmission has to be adjusted. I would recommend upgrading the radio for better sound on base.

  • An SUV that rides like a car! - 2003 GMC Envoy
    By -

    My GMC Envoy is awesome, it rides exactly like a car. I recently traded in my 2000 Toyota 4Runner for a GMC Envoy SLT and boy what a difference. Bye, bye to that rough truck ride and hello smooth sailing. You cannot beat the 0% financing..... You definitely get more for your money when you buy American!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Beauitful - 2003 GMC Envoy

    My husband was the one who made the final discission to buy this car. I did not care what SUV I got only that it was a new one. After driving this car I can only say one thing "beautiful". I dont only mean how it looks...but how it rides. The ride is so smooth, its like riding on air. I dont know if its just that I have not been driving my Jeep Cherokee for so long I never knew that a SUV could be so smooth. I can only say that I feel beautiful when I am in it. What a CAR.

    Fuel economy is nothing like the 3800 V- 6 in other GM automobiles. Not sure why mileage is so poor when it is stated V- 8 power with V-6 economy.

  • Not bad! - 2003 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Its my first SUV and overall, I like it. GM could make few improvements with better quality interior components such as seats and plastic all over. A better and tightly-fit exterior parts (uneven edges and wide gaps) would make it nicer. Experienced rattling/roving noise after using 2/4WD switch. Dealer couldnt figure out.. happens on and off..

  • Good so far! - 2003 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Priced well among same size competitors. Engine is very reactive which is always nice. Fuel capacity is poor as usual. Never understood why they make a car that gets poor gas milage with a 16 gallon gas tank! Interior: Good, only one mistake. For such a roomy interior, they cheaped out on the technology for cup holders. There are 2 cup holders, one undersized jammed in between the console and the shifter, the other behind the shirfter....in the way of the arm rest. other than that, good!

  • Whacky mirrors - 2003 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I really love my car. There are a few things that constantly bug me. Once is the mirrors. I love the fact that they adjust to the ground when you backup. What I dont like is that Ive been to the dealer 3 times to get them fixed. The setting doesnt hold. The second is it sounds like a truck when you first start it up. Especially when its cold. I think a new vehicle should not sound like a used vehicle when its only 1 year old. The third is the gas mileage. Im only getting 15.9 when its advertised 18mpg in the city.

  • Living in the lap of luxury - 2003 GMC Envoy
    By -

    This car is awesome. The amenities are enough to make your head spin. I only have 5 knocks on the car so far.... How could GMC forget to put a remote gas cap cover release, and a remote rear window release in a car that otherwise has every gadget ? How could they settle for sutch an oversize and ugly steering wheel ? Why cant they make ONSTAR an option and lower the price ?. Why cant they make running boards standard instead of ONSTAR ?.... How about replacing that ridiculous sounding horn with a better one ? Other than that I hope this one lasts me a long, long time...and from what Ive seen so far....it should.

  • A V-8 WOULD MAKE IT GREAT - 2003 GMC Envoy
    By -

    This is our first SUV. I think we are now converts. The Envoy is comfortable on long trips thogh you it needs to stop to often at the fuel pump. Just took it cross country and back with no problems except a V-8 would have helped in the mountains.
