Buick Rendezvous for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Usable third-row seats that fold flat, comfortable ride, plenty of interior storage, lots of options available.

Cons

Weak engine on standard models, good-looking but cheap-feeling interior materials, options push price up quickly, no off-road ability.

What’s new

A luxurious Ultra model has been added to the lineup that features an all-new V6, a monochrome exterior and heavy doses of wood and leather trim inside. A DVD-based navigation system is now on the options list for the CXL and the Ultra, and XM Satellite Radio is now available on all models. GM's head-up display is now available on the CXL as a stand-alone option.

Edmunds says

The Rendezvous is a well-rounded family vehicle with plenty of space for passengers and cargo, but with no off-road ability and less convenience than a minivan, it doesn't quite live up to its billing as the ultimate crossover vehicle.

2004 Buick Rendezvous CX Fwd 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

My 2004 Buick has 168000 miles on it. I've replace the right front hup, put two sensors on it and it will pass inspection tomorrow. Flush the transmission at 100,000 miles keep the oil changed sooner than the book says, keep the tires in check. Best driving, riding SUV I've ever drove.

Great Car

Over all my car has been great. I bought the car 5 years old with 110K. I now have over 185k and no major problems.

2004 Buick Rendezvous CX AWD 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

I love my Rendezvous. It is a 2004 AWD and will soon celebrate her 14th Bday. I chuckle at the Buick commercials about 'not your grandma's Buick', as I have grandpups. Such a smooth ride. I love driving it. I sorted reviews in date order prior to mine, the man mentioned a wet floor. If his came off same line as mine, that is a factory defect, I learned this in 2014. Always had wet …

2004 Buick Rendezvous CX Fwd 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

We love our 2004 Rendezvous for the all over performance, smooth ride and storage capability. It's a good family car. There is one design flaw that needs to be fixed: Speedometer has a silver background and black numbers. During dawn/twilight, it is nearly impossible to see the numbers. The black fades into the silver. During these light conditions, there is no way to see my speed and …
