CHANGE FROM A 4-WHEEL TO AWD.

AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE LOOK WAS FUNNY, BUT IT IS SO DIFFERENT IT GROWS ON YOU. IT HANDLES BEAUTIFULLY. STEERING IS SEMI-LUXURY, I LOVE THIS PART. HAVEN'T HAD IT LONG BUT AM IMPRESSED SO FAR WITH GAS MILEAGE AND FEATURES. ONCE INSIDE IT HAS A LARGER APPEARANCE AND EXCEPTIONAL ROOM. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE SEATS COMFORT AND THE RIDE IS A PLUS ON LONG TRIPS.IT HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER TO GET UP AND GO WHEN NEEDED.BUT COULD TAKE THE ROAD BUMPS SOFTER,HAS A TENDENCY TO BOTTOM OUT.

Family loves the Rendezvous

This is the best vehicle that I have owned. Every person that has been a passenger or driven the SUV has expressed the comfort of the vehicle. It has been driven in deep snow and heavy rain and it handles like a dream. Power is less than I would like, esp., going up hills and mountains in Western Maryland. With careful and conservative driving, it can get 24 mpg going to and from work and better on long trips. Any future vehicle will definitely have AWD. It is simply the only way to go - drive!!

I loved this car BUT have had SO many repair problems. Let's see, wheel bearings, brakes, air conditioning twice and "3" Yes I said three manifold gaskets! Now I just had to have a head gasket replaced and Oh, the gas gauge does not work and I cannot afford to have them pull the gas tank and fix it! Has anyone had any luck with help from Buick?

After 1 month, this car is proving to be a very impressive vehicle. The RDV does most everything well, but I can't say it is the best in class on any given aspect. The interior looks great, but the materials used have a somewhat cheap feel to them. The car does not have as much room as a minivan, but looks great. The versatrak AWD works well, but it can't go offroad like an SUV. The ride is very carlike but not up to the level of a luxary car. It manages to bring together most of the positive aspects of a luxary sedan, SUV and Minivan in one package. I guess it may be the best in class afterall in the crossover vehicle catagory.

My Lil Rendezvous

I've driven this car from New York to Florida and back twice since I bought it and found it to be a sensational long distance running vehicle. I disagree with the road test editors opinions' regarding the power of this vehicle. It had plenty power accelerating from 65 mph to 80 mph when I needed to pass other cars on the highway. Also, the gas mileage was extraordinary at 30 mpg. for the duration of both trips to Florida. I found the handling to be rather tight as compared to the Ford explorer and the Isuzu Rodeo which I have owned previously. I would strongly recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for a roomy, comfortable SUV like vehicle.

This vehicle is a great everyday commuter. It The ergonomics are just right. My biggest dissapointment with the vehicle is that the power is marginal. The 185 Horsepower engine is just adequate. It rolls along smoothly and leisurly. The vehicle will let you know when it has to work hard to pull up a hill. The heads up display should not be an option. The gauges tend to get hard to see during the day. I have not had any problems with fit and finish of the material. I would like to see better materials for a vehicle in this price class.

I love my Rendezvous. We were looking for the interior of a minivan with the exterior of an SUV, so we love our Rendezvous. It has captain chairs for the second row allowing you to easily access the third row. The captains chairs are a must have if you have car seats. I am 6'0 and can actually fit in every seat in the Rendezvous. Also the AWD is really nice in the Wisconsin winter. You do have to keep up on the maintenance and repair them more than Honda's and Toyota's. If you want luxury, the interior design of a minivan, AWD, and the look of an SUV the Rendezvous CXL AWD is one of your only options, and it's a pretty decent one.

Great car, great ride, comfort, room, etc. at a great price after 10% discount and 3500 rebates. It downshifts frequently uphill. Addition of a supercharger to add low rpm torque to this underpowered engine. Alternatively, use a modern DOHC or SOHC engine to provide the some type of performance as the Acura MDX. With either engine, fuel consumption would improve moving the vehicle without much effort. 3rd seat part of the CXLplus Package, should be an individual option. Even the CXL package cars on the dealers lots were loaded with that option.

This vehicle rides like butter, smooth and soft, with enough power to get into traffic with ease. Visibility all around is good, and is reinforced with the ultrasonic backup system – a must have. The stereo is a delight that floods the cabin with great sound - which is good because there’s hardly any road noise to keep you awake. Finally, the headroom even with the sunroof is wonderful. I’d buy it again.

After a long and extensive search, we settled on the Buick Rendezvous. It is smooth, plenty powerful, and has lots of room. I am 6'6" and I have more headroom than in my Crown Victoria. The vehicle is solid and rides beautifully. While it may not be the best looking vehicle on the road, all the kids in the neighborhood think the car is pretty cool!

Buick Rendezvous is the perfect vehicle for a family looking for a stylish, quality vehicle with a great ride and storage. The exterior resembles an SUV, but the interior offers all the functionality of a luxury sedan. I love all the compartments - to store my belongings and my passengers. I have the optional 3rd row seat, which is great for hauling around my kids friends from soccer! The Rendezvous is functional for every day use, but also great for longer trips - it's very comfortable. A family vehicle you're not afraid to show up in - whether it's your high school reunion or the new hot restaurant in town. Highly recommend it!

Nice to drive. Had problem with electric system, but dealer gave me free loaner for one week while being serviced. Somehow the wires got wet causing the entire system to short out. Once fixed, no further problems. Drives and handles well, best mpg is about 18..thought I'd get better than that. Easy to manuever in parking lots.

I've had my Rendezvous now for 52,000 miles. Had very little problems. I drive 21 miles each way to work, very hilly rough terrain. I live in PA, very tough on vehicles. Salt on the roads all winter. Large pot holes. One day last winter I counted twelve small cars and small SUV's on the side of the road with serious suspension problems after one of our major highways fell apart in Jan. My Rendezvous has a tough suspension, stainless exhaust and large 16" wheels. The activated charcoal cab air filter is great for keeping deisel exhaust etc. out of your lungs. The OnStar is a lifesaver I will not do without. The galvanized metal body does not rust. No problem with half ton loads

I never thought I would own an SUV, there wasn't one that I wanted or liked. I did want something to haul the occasional item. The Rendezvous is the perfect vehicle for me. It's like sitting in and driving a car, but with the versatility of a van and AWD of an SUV.

This car is the best car I have ever owned and I am 71 years old. We purchased the car new at the beginning of 2002. It has been a pleasure to drive. The lowest our gas mileage has been is 15 mpg and that was in stop and go freeway driving in San Diego. We ususally get 17 to 18 mpg around town and 23 to 26 mpgs on trips.It's comfort and dependability are unequaled. My only complaint is that Buick stopped making them.

I fell in love with the Rendevous when it was first introduced. I was so excited when my husband and I found a used 2002 CXL AWD with just over 11000 miles on it this last summer. We stole it off the lot, with the price we ended up paying for it. I do wish it had a bit more power when going up hills. The comfort and convenience is top of the line. I like the heads up display and AC auto features

Had this car for 2 wks then it overheated, dealer thought it was a sensor wrong.2 wks later it did it again. If you go on forums this is a common problem for GM vehicles. there was even a class act against them from the Dexcool antifreeze. It eats away the intake mainifold gasket People looking to purchase these vehicles need to know about it. Min $800 to fix and hope that when your car overheated you didn't warp the head. Luckily The Sharpest Rides repaired it at there (part only)cost even though there was no more warranty.

Worried about Relliability

1 of 1 people found this review helpful

We bought our Rendezvous instead of a minivan because of the looks and minivan functionability. In many respects this is an acceptable vehicle. It it definitely underpowered and this shows up in fuel economy in hilly terrain. In a car that is less than three years old, we have had electrical problems that have left us stranded. Since my wife carts our two children in it most of the time, this lapse in reliability is a serious issue for us. The first time the dealer said is was a dead battery. Then, 2,000 miles out of warranty it was the computer ($500 out of pocket). Now, they think it is the ignition switch (around $200). It seems like a systemic problem that GM is not acknowledging.

There's nothing spectacular about this car. The "sell" was that it drives like a car even though it's an SUV. OK, for the most part that's true. Passengers in the back have a different story (see suggested improvements). It doesn't have a lot of spunk - you don't feel it accelerating, but you do find yourself at highway speed more quickly than you think. It certainly does not have a sporty feel. All that said, we pulled a 3,500 pound pop-up trailer 8,800 miles around the US last summer, including climbing Tioga pass (14,000 ft, I think). This car never overheated once. I was surprised that it's such a little workhorse.

I really like this SUV. I went from an Avelanche to this, thinking I wouldn't like it at all. I'm glad I traded! I can't wait to drive it daily. It is a very smooth ride, the sound is great. This Rendezvou has many "fun" options that I never had before on any other vehicle before. I plan on buying another when time to trade.The only thing I really don't like about it are these things: 1) It doesn't feel secure when it's raining and you hit a large spot of water. 2) I very much liked having 2 visors per front seat. One for the front view and another for the side view.

Our lease on a 1999 BMW 540iA is ending soon, and with a new baby, we decided to look at SUVs. We selected the Rendezvous after test driving other SUVs. Compared to a BMW X5, priced in the $60K range, the Rendezvous is the value of the year. The car has a unique look which seems to look better all the time.

Wrote a review after owning our RDV for 1 week. It has now been 2, months, (3000 mi), and we have never been happier with a new car. Fit and finish is pefect, as we looked in vain for some defect in manufacture, but have found none. The engine is powerful enough for passing on two lane roads and getting up to speed to enter a city trafficway. Who needs more? The comfort is outstanding, comparable to a nice sedan. If you want the room of a van and the ride of a car you should look at the RDV.

I've loved this suv since it came out. My biggest problem was choosing the color. Decided on the pewter and it is so pretty. It's great to haul stuff and I got the 3rd row seats so it's good to transport all my son's friends. Has a good ride and I love the full view. Had a Skylark before and was just impressed with Buicks. I love the look of this suv. I like it as well as the Lexus.

This is an attractive extremely reliable SUV. With AWD, I am averaging 19 MPG which is incredible. The engine is too small for the weight of this SUV so the pick-up and pep leaves a lot to be desired, However, once I got used to the amount of power I had available, I adjusted my driving habits. The vehicle has a lot of "bells and whistles. I love the "heads-up" display which gives me my MPH reading in the windshield. Because of the air suspension, the car allows me to inflate my tires directly from the system so no visit to a gas station is necessary. It's also handy if you get a flat tire. I am very happy with this SUV and would consider buying another one when the time comes.

After two trouble-free years, my CXL is as quiet as when I got it, more comfortable and smoother ride than the Grand Cherokee it replaced. I highly recommend "crossovers" as they get better mileage, ride better and handle more like a car.

One of the most dependable and reliable ownership experiences I have had owning cars. The poor adhesion of paint on the interior is my only complaint I have, other than the sluggishness in power of the engine at highway speed unless you downshift, but I LOVE the consistent 20mpg that the car gives me with its performance. I waxed the interior painted surfaces after they were replaced under warranty and have had no further problems there. I love this car's transmission. A good reliable car.

Great car for a great price....was attracted to the Rendezvous because of how cars are equipped (standard); the Buick name for quality (even though I've owned few GM cars); and not the least because of the value received for the price paid compared to other SUV's of the same type; and finally because my wife loves driving it.

We test drove all the mini and midsized suv's before discovering Rendezvous. What a great surprise when we finally drove it. We did not want 3 seats, so were delighted to have the choice and all the goodies that are standard blew us away. I couldn't believe there was an affordable SUV that rides like a luxury sedan, get great mileage and looks as good as anything on the road.

When I decided to go SUV I began w/large models being used to a minivan. Found plenty of room but even luxury models had big truck feel/ride I hated. Mid SUVs were blah! Just when I was ready to give up SUV idea I found the Rendezvous. Reviews were mixed but I was curious enough to check out. Glad I did! I LOVE MY "RUV"! Ride is awesome,smooth & quiet. Leather seats roomy, 2nd row Capt seats keep my 2 kids happy in their own space. When needed 3rd row offers comfortable xtra seating. 3rd row down--great cargo room. Tons of extras. Excellent value for my $$ glad I passed up Acura MXD! Handles beautifully.Was used to better MPGs but I hear 17mpg not bad for this veh type. Test drive & see!

My wife and I were looking for a family car (SUV) that was not too big or to small. When we saw the RDV in the show room we like the roomy interior and the 3rd row seat. The exterior could use more "looks" to it After three one month of driving the car the driver's seat began to make noises at every turn. After three months the rear view mirror fell off. Sure, the dealer fixed the seat and the mirror but who likes to take their new car Overall we enjoy the car but I wonder whether we should have asked for a longer bumper to bumper Warantee because it seems that we may need it!
