well my mom has a 2002 Z71 tahoe. she hates it and GMC just gave her the opportunity to get out of the z71 a year early on the lease if she bought or leased a new car from them. she is looking into getting something smaller, like a trailblazer, blazer, etc. something that has 4 doors/ 4wd and is smaller than a tahoe, suburban etc. any suggestions???

I think the envoys are pretty cool, a buddy of mine has one and its really roomy. The fully loaded envoy is still just as expensive and a yukon tho :-\

moneys not the issue, she wants something that doesnt use as much gas as the tahoe, the envoy and the trailblazer are looking pretty good so far

one of those trailblazers sports like 270hp i think.

if she wants smaller, definitely go with that, not like theres really any better GM options.

I'd rather have the Tahoe. :-\ Those Blazers are ugly piles of ---- IMO. My sister has one and I just don't like the feel of them. The front end feels very unstable like it's going to fall off. Going over speed bumps too fast will get you a good "POP" noise. It sounds like the ------- wheel is going to fall off. The dealership has looked at it over and over again and they say there is nothing wrong with it. :-\

Tahoes are PIMP. :)

she should ride it out, and get what she wants. besides you can get out of a lease early, if your a slick mofo ;)

between me and her we spend about 100 bux in gas each week on it. what do you guys think of the envoy?

comming from a previous GM car salesman, looking on the other side of things, (not your moms POV) tell her to take a day, go out and drive every vehicle shes interested in.
since money isnt a factor, dont talk finance with the salesman. dont let the sales man "close her" on a vehicle. simply tell the sales man, "im here to drive XXX vehicle, im comparing this one with the XXX vehicle"

and just do that.

we rented a envoy and took it to the desert and beat the ---- out of it, we took it up all the places that the pretty boy's in there jeep's were scared to go, plus a few 80 mph runs down the whoopdies. The envoy held up good i give it a thumbs up
