Used 2005 Buick Rendezvous Consumer Reviews
Solid, but not nearly great!
This car drives very well. It is a good value compared to other SUVs in its class. But it doesn't feel very refined, the steering can be a little loose sometimes, and I just don't know if it will last enough time.
COMFORTABLE
THE RENDEZVOUS IS AN EASY COMFORTABLE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. PARKING AND BACKING UP IS EASY. VERY ROOMY AND LOTS OF CARGO SPACE, EASY TO USE INSTURMENT PANAL, GREAT ON LONG TRIPS. I'VE BEEN AVERAGING 20 CITY AND 24 HWY. OVERALL A GREAT VEHICLE.

First SUV
I have driven a Buick Riveria or LeSabre for the past 20 years, so am used to the luxurious ride. My new Rendevous meets the challenge. Have used it for three long trips in the last 3 months and find it thoroughly enjoyable. I wish the gas mileage was better though.
My Favorite Vehicle
Comfortable, well laid out for a tall individual. With 6k miles the gas mileage has not improved. Sticker states 18-24 only averaging 18 on highway.
Buick Ultra
The 05 Ultra is comfortable and luxurious. The HUD display is fun and funtional. The 3.6 ltr. engine has lots of pep but less then advertised fuel economy, best we have seen out of this all wheel drive model is 21. The vehicle is nimble but steering is somewhat choppy at higher speeds with the steering wheel pulling you one direction while you steer another. Best described as a pulsing sensation. The car rides great and has good visability. Large mirrors compensate for a small blind spot on the driver's side. The seats have excellent driving positions and the stereo is excellent. With the third seat installed your room sor storage is extremely limited. Overall a stylish car.
