Used 2005 Buick Rendezvous CX 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Worst car ever
This is by far the worst investment I have ever made. It is one thing after another with this car. Once you fix one problem another arises. To start with it was a speed sensor(wheel bearing) then is was the oil sensor. Then it got to the point where EVERY TIME I fuel up the car would not want to start again. I would literally have to wait 2-3 minutes and still press the gas before it would start again (how embarrassing) very inconvenient. And to top it off last night the battery light came on. I know what you r thinking "simple fix" turns out no. I will have to put it I The garage to find out if it is a problem with the computer, transmission, or the engine. I have had it with this car. I will NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER BUICK EVER!!! All of these problems I am having seem to be common problems if you check other reviews; however, there have been no recalls or even attempt to fix these problems. I am done with this vehicle. I also now have a light that says reduced engine power and it will not go more than 30mph.

Super Safe Ride
Super stable, rides on rails. Wife just rolled it upside down into a pine tree after hydroplaing in snow melt. Though totaled out, frame absorbed entire impact and vehicle crumpled in right places to absorbe roll-over. We have a duplicate on hold pending insurance payout. Like previous comments, it may start out as wife's car, but it will grow on you.

Great Vehicle
We traded in our like new Surburban for this vehicle and took it on a 1 week 3,000 mile trip. I can't believe how comfortable and easy to drive it is. I am 6'4" and weigh 275 lbs and have plenty of room. My wife is disabled (couldn't get into the Surburban) and finds it easy to get into and out of. We love it and would recommend it to anyone.
I Really Like This Buick
I have owned this Rendezvous for 3 yrs. It is an excellent vehicle. Even 3 yrs old there are no rattles or decline of quality. Have not had 1 single mechanical problem of any kind. Totally dependable. With 3rd row seating down can fit 4 suitcases and 4 sets of golf clubs in the Rendezvous for a golf trip. Perfect! Gets 26 mpg on the hwy. Being a Minnesota vehicle I use both air and heater and the heating/cooling systems work perfectly,quietly and quickly.
Bells and whistles
I bought this SUV 3 1/2 years ago and I still love it. It's been a great car overall except. . . Once the engine is good and warm if you accelerate to quickly so if the dash lights will start blinking and alarms ding until you get up to speed and let of the accelerator. Then the AWD DISABLE light will stay on until you turn off the car. It doesn't seem to actually affect the actual running of the vehicle and will still get to where I need it to go. It has made several trips to Kansas from Oklahoma and 3 trips to Tennessee. I am not going to retire it and turn it into a teenager vehicle. This is the 2nd Buick I have owned and am not disappointed. All vehicles need repairs when buying used so you can't expect perfection. I will purchase another Buick
