  Good value for the price - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By jctomgal - July 6 - 7:54 pm

  Rides nice, and all the options are integrated into the vehicle very nicely. The dash features are easy to use. The vehicle handles well, has a smooth ride, little engine noise, and has great power on highway.

  Envoy is a good buy - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Patrick Hernandez - June 29 - 5:40 pm

  This is my second Envoy that I have purchased, and it stills makes me happy to drive it. It is a comfortable SUV, that has more than enough space for my wife and three smaller children. It is the first vehicle that I have absolutely love.

  Envoy - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Tonya - June 27 - 8:40 pm

  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.

  Style, Beauty, Comfort, and Power - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Metallicred Mama - June 27 - 7:32 pm

  The Envoy Denali is an SUV with luxury car performance and style. The car has spacious back rows for taller people, and has well designed folding seats. The rear controls for the air and radio are also a great feature. The Envoy denali is also very powerful. The motor has the power of a sports car for good handling. This is the car for a sports car lover with a family who cares about comfort, safety, and fun.

  Gas Hog and GM Quality is sub-par - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By RickG - June 17 - 9:58 pm

  Nice looking with a powerful engine that tows my bass boat with ease. Unfortunately, GM cut corners on the upscale extras in the Denali and it is obvious. The nav system is primitive and 1st generation. It uses a DVD which means you cannot play CDs while navigating. The nav DVD only finds 50% of the destinations so good luck. I reverted to the after-market Garmin nav system I used in my 2003 Envoy. The sound system is poor quality, the rear view mirror does not have the auto dim feature found in earlier Envoys and there isnt even a coat hook in the rear seat. GM saved nickels and dimes and raised the price by thousands. The older Envoys were a better buy, more comfortable and not gas hogs!

  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.

  Pros and Cons - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By adidas4089 - June 13 - 5:09 pm

  This is an excellent SUV, however with all SUVs there is the drawback of horrible gas mileage. Although the Envoy isnt the worst in its class in terms of gas mileage, it doesnt impress in town. Highway gas mileage on the other hand, is quite bearable. My tank holds about 20 to 22 gallons, and I usually get about 350 miles to the tank on the highway.

  Best I have ever purchased - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Thomas Gray - June 13 - 4:46 pm

  This midsize SUV has to be one of the smoothest riding American built SUVs of its class. It handles extremely well. Vision of the road is superior as well. The leg room in the front is the best that I test drove. Very happy with it so far.
