Used 2003 Buick Rendezvous Consumer Reviews
GREAT VEHICULE, BUT?
Problem at 300km:solenoid (transmission)
God Bless America
We chose a GM product because my spouse is a GM Employee but we chose the Buick (after previously owning a GM Minivan) because the interior looked more expensive and Buick is known for making classier vehicles. We've only had it for a few months but as a person who was stuck on minivans, I thoroughly enjoy it so far. My spouse, who is not an SUV fan, wishes he had one for his own. This SUV has as much storage room as my former extended minivan, which is good for a family of 4 with a dog who travel a lot. Plenty of legroom and height in the front for tall people like myself.

A good idea gone bad
This vehicle does what it's designed to do, but not with the enthusiasm that GM touts. Our Rendezvous is a good people (mainly children) hauler and performs admirably in snowy conditions. Unfortunately, it is plagued with numerous rattles and mechanical defects due to poor workmanship. It stickered at $37,470 and is now worth $16,000 with only 27k on the odometer, 1 1/2 years old, and in excellent shape. Driveability is only marginal, as trying to maintain highway speeds with it's anemic engine can produce a sore foot if the cruise control isn't used. The weak engine and high profile contribute to abysmal economy...17mpg average.

Very happy
I have used this car extensivly and I love it. Plenty of cargo space and comfort. More room than the most SUVs in its class. Rides like a car but has the room of a truck.
