"I bought a 2004 Envoy used in 2006 with approx 20k miles. It needed tires and the brake rotors gave a pulsation from the rust that accumulated due to it sitting at dealer lot for a while. They put new tires/brakes on it, and I replaced tires at 85k and they were by no means bald. And the brakes I recently replaced (120K) with about 15-20 pad left and rotors still ran out straight creating no pulsation in the pedal whatsoever. Other than that, at approx 80k I replaced spark plugs (no wires-coil on plug), fuel filter, serpentine belt, and FPR. I use the factory Oil chg monitor and Mobil 1 5-30. That is it. Not a single breakdown, original battery still has loads of power, every single feature in the car works as it did they day it was made. I am a mechanic, and I do maintain my vehicles meticulously, but I have never had one go this long without a water pump/fuel pump/alternator/wheel bearing/u-joint, etc. failing. Best car GM ever made too bad it was short lived!!!!!"

I love this Envoy

"I have owned this vehicle since July 09 and love it. Plan on keeping for many more years. The only problems I have had is the water pump and a temperature sensor went out on me and I have had to clean the throttle body out twice (carbon build up will make it run very rough and even cut off). The value has dropped significatly since I bought it but I guess that goes for most cars. I just recently added trailblazer SS wheels and lowered it a little to give it the stance I wanted. Fuel milage is not very good considering the size. I average about 16MPG."

"I purchased this Envoy new. I have driven it in all conditions and on many different road conditions from from small town winter damaged to narrow rough mountain roads. I have been completely satisfied with the performance of this vehicle. This suv is still stylish in todays market. I usually only keep my vehicles 8 years, but I have not found any new vehicles that spiked my interest enough to make a trade. My only complaint is the frame rusting."
