2005 Buick Rendezvous

As a sportman, the car provides an easy way to travel to golf courses and beaches. The driver's area has a convenient console for traveling, everything is accessible. Cup holders, storage box and storage under the console can not be duplicated in other SUV's. This is my second Rendezvous and to date neither has let me down performance-wise. The engine and drive train are reliable. First time I've had all wheel drive and I'm a little disappointed with the gas mileage. The all leather seats are proving more comfortable than the seats on my 2002 Rendezvous. I like the improved styling. Negative is the removal from the 2005 of the 2002 two storage bins on the side panels of the third seat.

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.

My Rendezvous has a very smooth, quiet ride. We have been on several trips and it rides great. The Rendezvous is not the best on gas and I must say that the third row of seats is only for small children and with it you have no luggage space

Review of my Rendezvous

My past two vehicles were a Ford Explorer, then a Ford Expedition. I loved both, but when the family got smaller I didn't need all the room of an Expedition, so we looked for a comparable vehicle as far as looks and comfort. We tried the Rendezvous and fell in love. I have had it almost a month now and love how it drives, handles and the smooth ride. We got all the bells and whistles and we can't say anything bad about it. I LOVE IT!! Thanks GM for a great product.

2005 CX Rendezvous

The 2005 CX base model Rendezvous has been an outstanding experience for me !! Smooth, quiet ride. Better gas mileage than many smaller vehicles. Gorgeous exterior -- especially from the front. My favorite thing is the way the dashboard lights up at night. The light-silver dials turn to black. All numbers and pointers light up in a green/blue teal. And there is a slight angelic white glow emminating from behind the anchor spot of the needles.
