I have only owned this vehicle a short time. It is pleasant to drive, and very comfortable. The radio works well, as do the power windows seat and other amenities. Not purchased for going off road. I do not desire an off road vehicle, I already have one. This is a very nice family vehicle. It was reported that the standard V6 does not have adequate power. I have been out on the interstate with this one and it runs fine, it's not a race car but that's not what I purchased. If I wanted a sports car I would buy one.

This is my 2nd Rendezvous, the 1st was a 2002 CX. I was so pleased with my first Rendezvous and its dependability that I purchased the 2nd with most of the 'bells and whistles". So far I have not been disappointed. I find the styling, features and construction to be top-notch. As for the most often complaint as to its underpowered engine, I have found no trouble in passing any car when I wish and this auto's hill climbing abililty on the highway is unsurpassed. Unless you have a lead foot and are looking for a race car I think you'll find its power more than adequate and you will get decent gas milage as a bonus. Take one for a test drive and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We are generally happy with the automobile and we are happy with the dealership. However, we have been disappointed with the fuel efficiency of the car. The estimated mileage for highway was 26 mpb, one of the principal reasons we purchased the car. The best we can get at typical Interstate speeds is 20 mpg. Dealer says that there is nothing they can do. Very disappointing.

Without a doubt, the most enjoyable new car I have ever purchased. I bought ALL of the options: Navigation, heads up display, satellite radio and, of course, back up warning, onstar with built in cell phone - everyday learning more neat things about these features. I have owned many vans but this is the first one that rode like a luxury sedan.
