2005 Buick Rendezvous CXL AWD 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
Review
Great vehicle with ultimate comfort. Rides like a luxury car with the security of AWD which is a much desired feature in the Northeast. Superior styling and performance makes me forget it's a cross over hybrid between a minivan and an SUV. I simply love it!
Favorite Features
Comfort both in seating and car-like ride with all the safety that all wheel drive provides.
Suggested Improvements
None to speak of
I just bought mine and I love it!

Review
I just bought a CXL+ model and I love it! Mine came w/ leather seating, wood grain dash, OnStar, satellite radio, a sun roof, power everything, captain's chairs (row 2), heads up display, heated seats, a towing pkg, and vertually everything else you could ever want in an SUV! Thre price was far better than it's competitors due to the $1,500 GM loyalty + $3,000 rebate! See for yourself. It's one NICE SUV!
Favorite Features
All the bells and whistles! The standard seats weren't that great but if you upgrade to leather ... Hello!
Suggested Improvements
A better selection of standard seat materials.

2005 Buick Rendezvous CXL AWD 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
Review
As a sportman, the car provides an easy way to travel to golf courses and beaches. The driver's area has a convenient console for traveling, everything is accessible. Cup holders, storage box and storage under the console can not be duplicated in other SUV's. This is my second Rendezvous and to date neither has let me down performance-wise. The engine and drive train are reliable. First time I've had all wheel drive and I'm a little disappointed with the gas mileage. The all leather seats are proving more comfortable than the seats on my 2002 Rendezvous. I like the improved styling. Negative is the removal from the 2005 of the 2002 two storage bins on the side panels of the third seat.
Favorite Features
Front Console, side view mirrors.
Suggested Improvements
Rear panel to conceal undercarriage showing suspension. Bring back storage pockets on side panels by third seat.

2005 Buick Rendezvous CX AWD 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I had looked forward to this new SUV and with only 9000 miles, it is in shop every other week. New tires at 4000 miles, rear door hatch broke, key assembly broke, noise in steering that GM says is something non-repairable, many more problems. Dealership where purchased horrible to deal with. Found another one who has been more helpful....But I am so disappointed.
Favorite Features
I like the way the SUV sits.....good on my back.
Suggested Improvements
Complete evaluation of this SUV to find out total problems existing.

2005 Buick Rendezvous CXL Fwd 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
Review
Without a doubt, the most enjoyable new car I have ever purchased. I bought ALL of the options: Navigation, heads up display, satellite radio and, of course, back up warning, onstar with built in cell phone - everyday learning more neat things about these features. I have owned many vans but this is the first one that rode like a luxury sedan.
Favorite Features
The navigation system is fabulous and the heads-up display is unbelievable. And the satellite radio is a feature I will never pass up again.
Suggested Improvements
Obviously a lower price and better mileage would be nice but I'm not complaining at all.

I enjoy the seating and the storage. The mileage is adequate. I have hauled wood on the top carrier several times. It handles easily and has great visibility.
Favorite Features
Visibility, non-cramped seating, storage.
Suggested Improvements
Needs to be quieter when winds are heavy.
Excellent SUV from Buick

Review
Iam very impressed with the Buck Rndezvous vehicle. Sfety features of anti-lock brakes, OnStar, and driver/passenger airbags are great. Conveniences of keyless entry, delayed power for radio, and radio controls on steering wheel are a great benefit. Overall I would recommend this SUV/crossover vehicle to anyone!
Favorite Features
Steering wheel radio controls, keyless entry
Suggested Improvements
Better speakers for system
My wife loves it

Review
My wife looked at oved 15 vehicles before she chose the Buick Rendezous. She liked the looks of the vehicle and the way it drives. It not too small and not too large for city traffic. Also it's a very safe vehicle for our two grandkids to be in. That's another reason she got the Rendezous
Favorite Features
The size and the great ride.
