I like the look, is a real nice silver color, nice lines, just way to car like. The windows seem huge after the H3, I feel like I am in a fish bowl (or maybe what a pacer would have been like if I had ever sat in one). The seats are very comfortable, telescopic steering wheel, a real horn that sounds like a truck. The stereo is laid our better than the H3 but lacks the monsoons sound. The station buttons are not so close together and the volume knob is ridged for easier tuning.. The rear doors are larger than the H3 but the leg room looks about the same. The center rear seat is not made of hard plactic like the H3's. The trim material is horrible looking. Some of the cheapest worst looking plastic I have ever seen on a car/truck. This is the crap that makes rest of the world cringe when they sit in US made cars. The engine moves the Envoy briskly and seems pretty smooth. It seems to have a 5 speed auto in it too.

Over all, no where near the vehicle the H3 is, but completely different design for a different purpose. It would be ok if one if I lived south of the
Mason/Dixon line and needed to drive for a living.

and whats bad living SOUTH of MASON/DIXON
