2002 GMC Envoy SLT from North America
Summary:
Great car
Faults:
The fan clutch just went out on our 02 envoy expensive to have the dealer fixit $800.00... Shop around at part stores I got mine new for 262.00 its not that hard to replace pain in the, but; but not hard. I took about 1hour in the driveway if you do it right you don't have to pull the radiator, just the hose. Or have a mechanical friend help you. Its not a bad idea to know whats under your hood especially for girls like me.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Just updating my review from April 2007.
The Envoy was a total maintenance hog from 2008-2012. I sold it this past Thursday (9-13-12) and bought a 2007 Prius Level 5. Talk about doing a 180!! Ha ha.
Went from 15 MPG to 50MPG. So far I'm not missing the Envoy much
I have to say that I clocked 162,000 miles on the Envoy, and it never broke down. It just broke constantly... LOL... never enough to leave me stranded, but enough to always keep me poor.
The final straw was the fuel gauge stopped working last month, then the power steering lines started leaking. I had already spent $9000 in parts alone (I keep an Excel sheet) over 8 years of ownership, NOT including insurance, gas, car payments for the first 5 years, etc. I wasn't about to sink another penny into that pig.
