Disappointed
I was not very happy with this vehicle at all. Within 6 months of purchase the entire steering column needed to be replaced, not long after that problems with the transmission, heated seats stopped working, electrical system failures, last straw was when the CD player went. Very disappointed!
My new Rendezvous
I bought this after renting one for a week to go on vacation. I love driving it! I am a Stay-At-Home-Mom, who totes 3 kids all day. I find it very easy to get the kids in and out, and driving around!
Rendezvous
From the first moment that I rode in a friends Rendezvous, I knew that this was my next vehicle. It was very stable and handled like a dream. Unlike most SUV's, it rode like a car. All the compartments in it are very user friendly and well thought out. This was a car designed with busy people in mind, that have active lifestyles. Hats off to the design team! For once the car manufactures listened to the comsumers.
Never Again
I purchased this vehicle Used as a GM Certified car. The warranty means nothing. The vehicle made a moaning noise and there was a technical bulletin that said it required new fluid in the rear($400+). Then the AWD Disabled light came on-a differential valve had to be replaced for $480. Again no warranty. I would never buy another GM vehicle and have owned many but this last vehicle has been a killer with repair costs on a GM certified car-ha ha.
You Get What You Pay For
I bought the Rendezvous for a traveling sales job in Canada. There is very cold weather and some rough roads but mostly City and Highway. The Highway drive is very smooth. The interior seating space is excellent. The price was good but I have encountered several annoying mechanical issues. I drove 100000 miles and have repaired (or should repair) the following rear axle seals, rear bearings, brakes (twice), Power steering noise, hatch handle, 1 power window, 3 sensors which killed ABS and turned on eng fault other issues severe buildup of snow and ice in wheelwells, floating gas gauge, worst factory stereo ever. They coulda had a winner but they cheaped out in the build.
