Areas for improvement: Fuel economy!
An excellent 7 seater choice. My view, Seating comfort is as good as a minivan. Ride comfort is incredible. My mum-in-law says with surprise, "I can ride in this (3rd row) seat for hours!" (She has a Pilot)
By for the most luxurious vehicle we have owned or had as kid. I enjoy the information center, quietness, size and features.
I should not complain as I knew the issue at purchase, but I'm obsessed with fuel economy. I feel this truck is letting me down. I know, I know, pitiful really. I also don't like the corning, much too much lean. I hear stiffer urethane/ neoprene/etc would help, but I have not been able to locate an after market supplier of such parts. I cannot comment on towing as I don't tow anything.
The Envoy XL is a terrific vehicle for the person who is more concerned with comfort in all areas and not so much racing or mpgs. That said, if I totalled the Envoy tomorrow, I would not look to replace it with another of the same. There are better new vehicles out there now. I'd look at the GMC Acadia for starters.
The running costs for Gmc Envoy 4.2L I-6 Automatic are normal
