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.

    This is the only vehicle that I have purchased in my life time that I have bonded with. I love my GMC

  • I Love This Car! - 2003 GMC Envoy
    By -

    We bought this SUV last October when we received an offer in the mail from GMC that we couldnt refuse(Think "The Godfather" lol). GMC would pay our last 5 lease payments on my 2000 Jimmy and there were like $3,000 in rebates. So, we went up to the same salesman/dealership where we leased our Jimmy before the end of the month and took home our new Envoy. It was my first buy after years of leasing. I loved my Jimmy, but I really love my Envoy! The power, the handling, the roominess along with style...awesome!

  • Disappointed Buyer - 2003 GMC Envoy

    I purchased the it to replace my Isuzu Trooper. I have had 4 Isuzus over the last 8 years with 1 warranty service. This is the replacement for the Trooper. This Envoy has had the A/C repaired 4 times, the power mirrors actuators replaced and the O2 sensor replaced. I have also had problems with the automatic wipers and the memory for the radio and seats. All this with less than 16,000 miles.

  • Good, but not the best - 2003 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Overall we are happy with purchase. However, it has been back to the leaker twice for warranty repair. One repair was for the high-pressure A/C switch inoperative and the other incident was for the engine fan clutch stating engaged all the time{ sounded like a jet engine under the hood}.

    I love this SUV. THe only probelm that I have had, and it does concern me, is that the vehicle has already been in the shop twice in the short time I have owned it to repair a pressure value on the air conditioning unit. Outside of that, I am very happy with my new Envoy.

  • Great SUV - 2003 GMC Envoy

    After much research, went with the Envoy vs a 4 runner. Much better price, and has all the options. Love the power, and very smooth. No issues so far, Bose stereo is great. Looking forward to driving in the snow with the new 4 wheel drive. Nice SUV at a good price.

  • nice SUV - good value - 2003 GMC Envoy

    Nice ride for an SUV and Ive had 5 Explorers before this car. Step up from the Chevy Trailblazer in looks and details, but essentially the same vehicle.

    Excellent power, no problems since delivery.

  • For American Tastes - 2003 GMC Envoy
    By -

    If you want something tighter and more Euro.. check out the Jeep Grand Cherokee.. It handles like a sports car with a view.. Mine still looks and feels like new with over 60k miles and flawless mechanical performance. If you want something that feels like a Lexus.. check out the Acura MDX. Its about the same price as the Envoy (before GM knocks off several grand to give it away), But will most likely hold its value for a long long time. I have no idea how Honda gets so much more out of a smaller engine!

  • New Envoy - 2003 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Have only had it for 12 days, however, it is the best constructed USA built vehicle I have owned, Build quality rivals Nissan, Infinity and Toyota all of which we own.(which really surprises me). Purchased this on over a 4Runner, because for $3000 less we got the same features, more horsepower and onlt 7 ft lbs less tourque and fuel consumtion is less than Toyota and does not require premium fuel.
