2008 GMC Envoy - Solid as a tank yet luxurious feeling
I love this vehicle. It's heavy, solid, allows me to pack up a ton of stuff in the trunk, including a mattress (with the back seat folded). You can actually sleep in the back with the seat folded and if you have a twin mattress. It's also tall enough to haul cabinets and other tall items. I've got the luxury package so it feels cushy and luxurious. I've got OnStar, SiriusXM, heated leather seats, customizable seat settings, remote start, a ton of things that were options only for the year. I also love the tinted windows which really help out in the summer and save my AC. I have running guards which are chrome and really stand out.
It sits really high and it makes me feel very safe in comparison with the small cars that sit so much lower than me. I actually got in a pretty big accident... (more)
Story
My GMC saved my life when I got in an accident during the heaviest snow storm a while back. If I'd been driving a smaller SUV or a car, I'm sure I would've ended up in the hospital. Instead, I got out without a scratch.
Pros
Great engine, sits high, safe and heavy vehicle, top of the line luxury add-ons, huge trunk space.
Cons
Not the greatest gas mileage and it takes a bit to learn how to park if you're used to a small car.
2008 GMC Envoy - Love my car
I absolutely love my Envoy. I bought it brand new and have loved it everyday since. It is nit too big so that it is difficult to park in tight spaces or parallel park. It is high off the ground making me feel safe. Great leather features and easy to you buttons. As I am a car person and am able to do a lot of work on my own, I find it difficult to get to some places under the hood to do repairs. I almost think they do it on purpose so that you have to pay the dealer to fix. It is an affordable truck that looks like luxury. Heated seats are one of my favorite features. I like that it locks when you put the car in drive and will unlock in park. I also love that the lights turn on when the car is put into drive or reverse. It is helpful because I never forget to turn on or off my lights. ... (more)
