TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2009 GMC Envoy is only somewhat suited to hauling passengers from point A to point B. But if you tow frequently, the Envoy might still make sense.

The 2009 Kia Borrego isn’t the type of vehicle that’s especially popular or fashionable at this time, but it’s a home run against the competition.

TCC Likes

Reasonably smooth ride
Relatively low loading height and step-up for a truck
Solid towing ability

Power from V-8
Smoothness of six-speed transmission
Surprising interior room with standard three rows of seats

TCC Dislikes

Noisy interior, coarse engine sound
Doesn’t handle well
Not as safe as newer crossover designs

Industrial plastics covering backs of rear seats
Leather on plush LX feels like vinyl
Faux-metallic trim on dash and doors mars easily
