  First American Car - Very Impressed - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By drweby - June 10 - 6:21 pm

  2005 Envoy Denali - Ive owned a lot of cars but this is my first American car. The interior is beautiful, solid, and very comfortable. Theres a button for everything, and I love that! I love the look of the chrome accents on the outside, and the grille is an awesome design. The lamenated glass and sound proofing in the Denali edition make the inside very quiet. The only thing I kind of have a gripe about is the paint isnt as smooth as it could be. In that department the imports still rule.

  Smaller than the Yukon and easy to drive and get into parking spaces. Gas mileage is a lot better than the Yukon too. it has lots of bells and whistles and a wonderful sound system. (Bose)

  My 05 GMC - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Larry Seward - May 27 - 7:13 pm

  Great towing vehicle. Not a luxury ride, but better than most SUVs. it has a very comfortable interior. Comes with all the right options to make it "your car". This is my 4th GMC... they continue to improve. One drawback, there is very little storage space for personal items near the driver (compartments, shelves or pockets). The engine is strong enough for most of us and trouble-free. Back seats are comfortable and roomy. OnStar and XM radio are great and sound system is excellent.

  What an SUV - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By ed and angie - May 24 - 6:51 pm

  This is unlike any SUV I have ever been in or driven. Its great for the money,and I will never drive anything else. My 3 year old son loves it. Everyday he asks me to go for a ride. Everyone who has been in it has wanted it. The sun roof is great. My sister has a Cadillac SUV and is now trading hers in for this. you dont need to spend an arm and a leg for luxury.

  Envoy XL - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Steve - May 19 - 10:54 am

  The size of the Envoy XL is the main selling point. Third row is large and confortable with still enough room for storage behind the seat. Good pick up and performance.

  2005 Envoy - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Monti - May 15 - 10:20 am

  After driving sedans for 30 years, I have found the comfort of the Envoy to be superior. I needed comfort and enough room to carry my family of 7 in one vehicle. The kids love the 3rd seat and I like being able to carry items without having to borrow a pickup truck. The XM radio and OnStar is also a plus. Depends on whos riding with as to what we are listening to. My mother is 81 and finds it very easy to get in and out of with the running board. She likes 40s music and sitting up higher than a car. its a plus for her. "I can see things better!"

  Best In Class - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By pbflorida - May 2 - 8:19 pm

  Best size and options for the money in the Denali XL version. I love it. Its not too big (i.e. Yukon or Expedition), but is large enough to really seat 6 - 7 comfortably (unlike Pathfinder, etc), or to seat 5 (or 6) by using the 3rd row seat down entirely or split, and still have LOTS of room for luggage and baby stuff (like a stroller). Took it for a 1000-mile trip over the weekend. Great ride, not like a truck, very smooth, comfortable, and steady, with lots of power in the V8. Wood trim and leather add a luxury feel. Power and heated seats (driver AND passenger), voice navigation, sunroof, XM radio, Onstar, all add up to "what more could you want"?

  This car should be rated higher - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By Matt - April 29 - 5:47 pm

  Being a former Land Rover owner, this car far outperforms its competition. It has the acceleration of a car with many feartures most other SUVs do not offer, without charging an arm and a leg. Certainly a vehicle that should be considered when shopping for a durable SUV.

  This truck is solid as a rock. - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By David - April 28 - 12:32 am

  I purchased my Envoy for its good looks and power. I really enjoy blowing by the import trucks. The ride is awesome and its not that bad on gas.

  Its a fine ride! - 2005 GMC Envoy
  By George Mulder - April 2 - 11:53 am

  Have had my Envoy for about 6 months now, and I really enjoy it! I love the new Steel Gray color. The leather seating is very comfortable, and with all the adjustments, I have a world of seating options. The heated seats are one of my favorite features. Everything works very well and makes sense. If I had to complain, it would be that there are too few special storage spots in the vehicle. But Im a bit of a carry it with me kinda guy, so I like to be able to have a couple extra small places for things like sunglasses, money, etc. But, that is not much of a complaint. So two enthusiastic thumbs up from me.
