2004 GMC Envoy XL 4.2 from North America
Summary:
Great SUV. So so gas mileage
Faults:
At the 4 year mark the only repair was at 215000; the gear shift cable snapped. Easy fix.
At year 6 water pump busted. It had been squealing 3yrs. I should have replaced earlier.
General Comments:
Overall a great SUV. Comfortable, reliable. The only bad thing is the gas mileage, but I knew that going into it.
The takeoff is not super fast, but it drives like a dream.
Beautiful sound system.
I have had mine 6 years and it has been a great experience.
Only 2 repairs. That was the gear shift cable snapped. 2 yrs later replaced water pump. I get my oil changes cheap at Walmart every 3000 miles.
I would buy any GMC product again, but one with better MPG.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have a 2004 XUV SLT V8 with 86K miles on it. No problems and have had no service expenses other than oil changes.
So far so good. Love the functionality of the vehicle, use it for hauling dogs, landscape supplies, boat, and anything else. Have also used it for cross country trips and it's reasonable comfortable. Avg 18.1 mpg on total miles, not great, but could be worse.
