#1	Quality for price Source: Cars.com ..."This is the first SUV Ive bought and find it a real quality unit well designed and has many comfort features as well as safety aspects.I find its somewhat heavier on fuel than I expectedoverall a good family vehicle"...
#2	2006 Envoy XL Source: Cars.com ..."I have had my Envoy XL for 7 months now and love it more than ever. I can honestly say it is my favorite of all the cars I have previously owned and driven."...
#3	I searched for this one! Source: Cars.com ...After search for quite some time we narrowed it down to the Envoy XL. It is very comfortable with tons of room. The handling is good for this size vehicle. We thought the trailblazers were very noisy and not quite as nice. It was hard to find one in excellent condition and low miles ...but we finally did(after dealing on some that fell through). We love our choice so far! They quit making the XL in 2006, so we couldn't go any newer unless we gave up the third row. The only thing I can say I would change is the position of the cup holders up front and a few things on the radio. Hopefully we...
#4	Most comfortable 7 passenger vehicle Source: Cars.com ...This is the biggest issue. The smaller issues include the gas mileage (we get about the sticker numbers in city,14 and hwy, 20) and finally the headliner is the cheap fuzzy kind. The temp, computer displays and compass should be located all very close to each other. The back doors are hard to close too. The engine is smooth, quiet and has adequate power w/ the 3.73 rear diff ratio. I recommend the 3.73 over the 3.42. Power has not been an issue at all. Finally, the 4spd auto tranny is smooth and performs with grace, but seem out of date per current industry standards. GM need to update ASAP...
#5	The SUV for a bigger family Source: Cars.com ...I think the rear axle ratio of 3.73 is a very useful $50 option. The Onstar is nice "insurance". The ride is incredible for a truck of this size. We looked for one w/ the rear SAB curtain. (Much easier to find on the GMC as opposed to its cousin at Chevy.)The major inconvenience is the sloppy handling. The extra length does wonderful things to the size, but is a huge set-back on handling. The SUV has a rear end that wanders too much with larger steering inputs. The lean in the corners is larger than I like. The other things I'd like changed are a nicer headliner, better radio (add subwoofer...
#6	Great car, but questioable paint quality Source: Cars.com ..."I have had this car for 10 months and I love it. It is great except my paint quality. I got the medium blue color and although I love the color I have had some noticable problems. It has started to chip and fade and I don't know why. I read a similiar review on another site and another person had the same problem. I live in the northeast and maybe this has something to do with it. I have not put any waxes or polish on it so that cannot be the problem"...
