  Denali - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By GREGORY WESTER - June 3 - 9:16 pm

  It is a great SUV. Gas mileage is fair with DOD fuel management but it is an SUV so what do you expect? Great interior and exterior and is very fun to drive. Love the sunroof, DVD player, Bose system, NAV and CD player. I just wish that it came with a CD changer with the navigation system.

  Marine Can Do Attitude - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By Eric - May 20 - 9:27 am

  With full size SUVs costing an arm and a leg and gas prices just as bad. Our family looked to the GMC Envoy XL with 3rd row seating and was sold on it the moment we sat in it. Great interior quality with the leather package. Performance, it is not a race car but can handle any of the riggors found within the city limits with ease. I found no problems with the steering, its just very easy to manuever. This quality has sold me on the Envoy and GMC as a whole and will be looking at them for my next vehicle purchase.

  2006 GMC ENVOY SLT - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By CJAvon - May 17 - 2:31 pm

  Have been driving my Envoy for three months now, had Jeep Gr.Cherokees for the last three years so thats my basis for comparison (maybe a bit unfair). The Envoy has a smoother ride but the difference in power vs the V8 Jeep is like night and day, towing my 2500 lb boat was sluggish. Head room is tight with the sun roof, only 1/2" headroom (i am 6 foot)with the seat down full. Very comfortable to sit in and visability is good. The floor mats are on the cheap side. 2nd row legroom is better than the Jeep. I get 18.7 mpg average with 85% highway driving. Considerably less expensive than the Jeep so if you can do without the towing power I would recommend it.

  My Envoy rides and drives great. I owned a Trailblazer before the Envoy. The In-Line 6 cylinder is peppy, not a gas hog and great on the highway.

  A Horrible Experience! - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By Turan Kul - April 11 - 12:10 pm

  This V6 Envoy turns out to be a lemon! From the beginning it had that terrible engine smell. My 3 year old goes promplty to sleep within minutes during the ride. However, we were alarmed about the noisy brakes, oil leaks & being a gas guzzler! (The old rental uses much less gas and has smooth brakes!) We took it to a shop and found out about the AC leakage. Probably thats why my son always ends up sleeping! The mechanic had to order a big part from GMC - I think its the transmission. Hell fix the gas guzzling problem too! However, Im afraid to be in this vehicle. I wanted a refund or a new vehicle.

  What a great MidSize - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By Tim - April 3 - 11:52 am

  The Envoy rides incredibly smooth and handles quite well. I read the reviews prior to buying and wasnt expecting much in the way of handling so maybe my expectations were low However,I think the Envoy handles quite well for a vehicle of its size. I am equally impressed with the power. It accelerates very smoothly both from a stop and highway driving. The tranny shifts smoothly and its tough to even feel when it "kicks down" to pass. The interior is roomy, quiet, and comfortable. Controls are easily accesible and the Bose stereo system is flawless. The interior looks very nice, but I can see quality becoming and issue if it is abused, but normal use shouldnt be an issue.

  Really enjoy the Denali - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By dbgindy - March 17 - 9:49 am

  This is the third SUV Ive had in a row and for performance, ride & features this is by far the best. Sure the gas mileage could be a little better but thats the case with almost all mid size SUVs. Ive had mine now for about 6 months and put almost 9500 miles on it with zero problems. Ive not regretted my purchase at all!

  Fun to drive, solid, and overall pickup great. A firm ride with all the comforts of the higher end vehicles. This vehicle feels solid to drive and great handling.

  Envoy rating Excellent - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By cbowen - January 16 - 12:03 am

  We have leased our Envoy for 5 months and enjoy the look, ride and the handling. Had a friend of the family ask about our Envoy, after talking to him they have decided on an Envoy later this spring if the price is right! Envoy sales itself! A great SUV. My whole family likes driving in it and riding it because of the room and all your safety features.

  Great Vehicle - 2006 GMC Envoy
  By tall one - January 1 - 12:34 pm

  This is a well designed SUV. I am 65" and fit in it with no problems - one of the few trucks that I can. There are a few recalls out on it - get those taken care of - and you have great vehicle. More then enough power to get you down the road. Plenty of useful options too.
