My first Buick and love it! The build quality is on the level of Lexus to me. I can't figure out why Consumer Reports say the interior is cheap, it is indeed far from it. The fit, finish and materials are top shelf. I've own two Azteks and it is amazing that they come from the same plant. The Azteks had many shortcomings for a sister SUV. I purchased the leather option and this is the way to go.
A truly nice & capable vehicle

I shopped around for months until I found what suited myself and the family best. I cannot see why Honda and Toyota are priced so much more. The Buick rides nice, looks nice, appears well built, and I'm averaging 24 mpg city/hwy. Sure, it has things that can annoy the owner. What vehicle doesn't? But, they are too minor to mention. Consumer reports called the interior 'cheap', but I found the Toyota Sienna had a much more cheap feel. I think CR really has an anti GM bias. The Rendezvous doesn't do anything excellent, but for me it does everything very well I bought a prior rental with 9850 miles and saved thousands. GM still has a problem with depreciation.

I average 1200 miles per week covering 6 midwestern states and I'm averaging 23.6 mpg. The highway speeds in the states I cover are 70 & 75 mph. The handling and comfort are great. I carry product coolers and other sales related materials plus my luggage and still have plenty of room for my golf clubs. It's the best suited vehicle for me I've owned up to now.
I love my Rendezvous!!

My Rendezvous has a very smooth, quiet ride. I feel comfortable in it, I sit very well. It is perfect for me. I am getting better and better gas mileage everyday! I am up to 20 mpg - that was a combination of highway and city driving for 40 miles. I thought that was pretty good.
Love It!

Hard to imagine a nicer car for the money - in terms of style, features, and versatility. I purchased the base model which has every feature I need standard. Because of the bad press US cars have received I initially looked at imports, but ultimately found the best value was with this Buick. Also, it didn't hurt the Consumer Reports gave it a favorable review.
Great Value,

Sold 2001 Luxus RX300 and bought Rendezous 2006. Wife is main driver and loves it. Very good gas mileage ( Road 27 MPH ) Lexus was 21mph. Very pleasing interior with good and easy to read insturments and more quiet on road than Lexus. Great value

I bought a 2006 FWD CX with the CX Plus and CX Luxury package. It has everything I need. It is very quiet and smooth. The 3.5 is a big improvement over the 3.4 in my Chevy Venture. Even though the design is 5 years old, I still think it is fresh.

The design of the Rendezvous is ideal for my needs. The tie-down rings are an excellent feature. The size of the vehicle makes it easy to maneuver in city traffic, and to park. The Rendezvous has excellent visibility with the big, outside mirrors. The rear parking assist is a very useful feature.
What a vehicle!

This vehicle I purchase was a steal. I am so happy with the '06 CXL AWD.I had a Ford Windstar '03 and was eager to trade it in. I was in love my Windstar but with 18 gal compare to 26 it makes a big difference.The Rendevous is of course is shorter in length than the Windstar. But the Rendevous makes up for all the sassy design and features. If you're looking for the crossover vehicle with comfort class and price, then go check out the Rendevouus. Once you go for a test drive you will be driving it home the same day. Happy Motoring !!!!
Great minivan alternative!

We have a Cardinal Red AWD CXL, and we love it! If you're looking for an alternative to a minivan, the Rendezvous is it! We have had 2 minivans prior to this, but our children are now in college, so the Rendezvous is a perfect fit for our lives now. The AWD is wonderful to have on snow and ice, and makes a real difference in handling. Our only real complaint concerns the very tall front seat headrests. They are rather difficult to see around-you really need to turn around to see sufficiently when backing up. Other than that, the Rendezvous is very comfortable, handles and rides like a car, and is very quiet. We love it!
Nice Vehicle For Price

Nice vehicle for price. Smooth, quiet. Adequate power for everday driving, plus uses only regular fuel.
A year later and I still love it

I bought the SUV about a year ago and did not have any problems with it. I love the comfort and the smooth ride it offers. The vehicle is roomy and well designed. This is one of those cars that grows on you. When I first bought it, I didn't really care for the exterior design. I purchased the car due to it's outstanding reliability ratings, awesome price ($16K with 4K miles), and the driving comfort (less road noise than my parent's MDX!). But the exterior design grew on me. I love my Rendezvous. I would buy another, but unfortunately they don't make them anymore. If you find one with low miles and a good price, don't think twice, buy it!
Great Car, Great Handling

Great overall vehicle. AWD is handy feature. Quiet, smooth ride for all passengers. 3rd row seat has just enough leg room/head room for 5'10" person. Lower clearance, although not great for huge snowfalls, is nice for disabled parent to enter/exit. Good storage.

Wife's car and she loves it. Very reliable and fun to drive. Fuel economy is in the 20's. Dash layout is very pleasing and easy to use. She drives 60 miles a day to work and back wich gives her a good feeling as to the ride and dependabilty of the auto.
Good SUV, best in its class

I hated it when I bought it, its more of a woman car, so I gave it to my wife and she loves it. Then I started driving it and I'm actually liking it. I bought it 2 years ago and now ~42k on it. Had a deer accident going 70 mph. I thank god to be driving a Rendezvous, very well maintained, very stable, the deer was split in half. Went to the shop for 2-3 months, came back never the same car. But I can tell you, its very reliable. After the accident the fuel economy became poor average 20 mpg, I used to avg 23 - 24. But I'm pleased with it. Very spacious and comfortable. I'm 300 lbs and 6,1" but it would be better to have a lot more driver leg space. Back sensor excellent

I was very aware of this vehicle when I began looking for a smaller better MPG SUV for my expanding family. My father and sister had both purchased an 05 and both loved it. I personally did not want to buy the same thing and looked at every other option possible. When the red tag sale started for GM I went pricing out the Equinox, Torrent, Vue, a Liberty, and some foreign SUVs. After all of this I told my Pontiac sales rep jokingly that if the deal was good enough I would consider an Rendezvous. He came back and said we may have what you are looking for. My wife drove it and loved it instantly compared to the others.Long story short we now have three in the family and got the most for our money
Great car

I traded a 2002 Rendevous for another Rendevous. I was so happy with my first one, that I couldn't think of getting another car. Am as happy with this one so far as I was with the other. My 2002 had 77,000 miles on it, and never had any trouble. Very comfortable!
A piece of Junk

In the one year I have owned this lemon it has continually been in the shop. First, my best mileage is only about 12.5-13.5 mpg, no matter if I am driving around town or on the highway. Dealership says nothing is wrong and nothing they can do. Now, lets talk about the problems with this piecd of junk. The left front struts had to be replaced in the first three months. Gears in the steering mechanism were replaced in month 4. In the 6th month, the transmission went out. Month 9, the power steering unit had to be replaced. I am not a bad driver nor drive in a reckless manner. I am a 65 year old lady who does not know where to turn.
