Mr TOM URCIUOLI
VERY STYLISH APPEALS TO YOUNG AND OLD. HANDLES LIKE A BABY CARRIAGE. USES MORE GAS THEN EXPECTED, BUT ENGIN IS SMOOTH AND QUIET. DRIVING BUICKS SINCE 1959, ALL NEW, AVG 5 YEARS THEN TRADE IN. THE LAST 3 WERE LEASES. IM FEARFUL THIS IS MY LAST, DUE TO HIGH PRICES AND FIXED INCOME. HOWEVER IF YOU NEED A CROSS BETWEEN SUV AND SEDAN THE RANDEVOUS IS THE CAR FOR YOU.

Chronic problems
Boo to Buick. Was thrilled with the Rendezvous for the first year. After that, all downhill. Like many others, the seat cloth stained very badly, rear hatch strap broke, sunglass compartment fell off. I'm now about to replace the rear differential for a 2nd time, the front end shimmies badly, and the air conditioning appears to be failing. The car has less than 50k on it. I have an extended warranty and these issues have all been addressed. BUT, it's a real pain dealing with these nuisances on a car that, at the outset, seemed so well-built. The gas mileage on the highway is actually pretty good but in town, watch out!
This car is junk
GM is clearly cutting corners. The interior of the '05 compared to earlier models is subpar. The fabric is cheaplooking and feeling. The dash has been changed and not for the better. Very hard and uncomfortabel to get to/sit in third row seat. Gas mileage is a nightmare.
Great Family Vehicle
I love my Rendevous. I went to look at the Avalanche and fell in love with this one. The seats in the back recline some, both my boys have their own cup holder and storage place for change or games. And I can plug the cooler in to the plug in the back not drag it under the seats. Plenty of storage space also for trips. Even my chihuahua loves to go for a ride in it. Great vehicle.
