Greatly Improved - 2006 GMC Envoy
By Anonymous - December 24 - 7:23 pmI traded in an 04 Envoy XUV. This Envoy Denali is so much better. With a few improvements this could easily compete with any luxury SUV on the market. Even though this is considered a Mid-Size SUV, it is still quite large. Gas mileage is actually slightly better with the V8 than the 6 cylinder because of the Displacement On Demand (rated at 16 city 22 hwy). I dont understand why people complain about gas mileage. They should buy a small compact SUV. With the air compressor you can put air in your own tires. Its smooth riding with the Luxury Ride Bilstein Shocks and quieter with added sound proofing. Color keyed assist steps are a nice touch. Compaired to an XL, this handles much better.

Excellent SUV - 1st Domestic in 15 years - 2006 GMC Envoy
By Matt G. - December 16 - 10:29 pmThis is the 1st Domestic SUV I have purchased in over 15 years. I am very satisfied so far. I was sold on the red tag promotion from GM. This SUV is powerful, comfortable, user friendly and has plently of features for the price. The satellite radio is great and the OnStar for a year was also a great selling point. I would definitely recommend this SUV.

Great car -- just got my second one - 2006 GMC Envoy
By Jerry G - November 22 - 4:57 amMy new 2006 Envoy replaces my 2003 Envoy which just come off lease. I never took the 2003 back to the dealership for ANY type of repair. The styling is great and the ride is very comfortable. I drive 99% on open roads and want a vehicle that rides smoothly, which the Envoy does. I also own a 2005 Corvette (I know - a bragger) but I just want to say I often use the Envoy because its just easier and more relaxing to drive. GM might go Chapter 11, but they are making very good cars!

One of the best SUVs out there - 2006 GMC Envoy
By Mike - October 4 - 3:12 amI love my Envoy Denali. It not only looks great, it rides extremely smooth. I recently was involved in a car accident, a car ran a red light and smashed up my front end. My SUV spun 90 degrees and I felt completely safe. The moment I sat in the drivers seat at the dealership, I fell in love. The interior, design and looks, sold me not to mentioned the 300hp engine. I could not have ask for more in my first SUV purchase.

GMC Envoy SLT - 2006 GMC Envoy
By Anonymous - September 17 - 2:04 pmThe Envoy is really a great SUV, but there are areas where it could improve. The engine is strong, the styling bold, and fuel enconomy bad (as with any SUV).

Could be better - 2006 GMC Envoy
By moondawg - September 9 - 1:29 amThe drive is fair. I love the power of the 4.2 AWD. Brakes are mushy, drinks a lot of gas. The ride is so so. I had a Buick Rendezvous with a much better ride

I love my GMC Denali Envoy - 2006 GMC Envoy
By Cyndycyn - September 6 - 11:15 pmThis is the 5th SUV that I have owned and by far the best. The ride and way it handles far outclasses any other SUV I"ve had. Its a gorgeous looking car also. So far though, Ive only been getting 12 mpg and was told that I"d get 15-17. I"m not happy about that.
