"this is a very good car. The power and pickup is not too satisfying and the mileage is in the 18-20 mpg. However, it is a comfortable car with all the bells and whistles. If they had added a turbo in this car, it would just knock your socks off. The size is good for a person that likes company and wants to haul large loads inside."

"I own a Rendezvous and am looking for a second one for my wife. We have never owned a better vehicle and couldn't be happier! I bought my 2002 with 78,000 miles and now have 211,000 without any problems. I ahve a CXL with all the comforts including heated seats, heads-up display and a sunroof. LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!"

"I bought this 2002 in 2005 for 22k, it had 6k miles on it. Bought from Carmax and bought warranty - glad for that when the engine went at 90k - cost me nothing but I still think unacceptable for 90K. The car runs like new with no other major repairs and I am happy with it but apparently the 2002 had engine troubles so buyer beware!"

"It's very comfortable. We got the extended warranty when we bought a used model and it was the best money I've ever spent. The odometer quit working, the seat track blew, head gasket, something else was leaking, the air conditioner expired and I don't even remember what else. All of this in the 2.5 years we owned it."

"I fell for the "automatic everything" leather, seat warmer, and it was a handsome vehicle. BUT look inside and it is a money funnel. We have put more money into this vehicle than it's value! Differential is going out, when the alternator failed we lost all power on the road. No steering, brakes or ability to unlock doors to evacuate. Luckily there was just enough power to put a window down enough we could put a key in the outside lock to get out. I would never buy another Buick if my life depended on it because I can't depend on the vehicle for my life!"

"I've owned one of the first Buick Rendezvous for 8.5 years now. It has 91K very hard miles on it in PA. I give it a A+ overall. Total repairs come to $101.99 One slightly deformed rubber bushing in the front end from hitting a huge pothole that put many small cars out of commission. And one light on the rear view mirror. This vehicle has been excellent. And it is the most versatile vehicle ... all the rear seats come out leaving a huge 110 cubic feet of cargo space which I have used many many times... hauling 4x8 sheets of plywood for many projects .. one time I had a cement mixer a post hole digger and 6 bags of cement to put a fence in. No other SUV or CUV could do what this Buick has done. I have hauled a full 110 cubic feet of wedding supplies for my daughters wedding 550 miles to upstate NY and also hauled 7 people for a weekend tour of our city. I get a easy 26 mpg on the road and more than a Honda CRV in the city. In 35 years of buying cars vans and trucks ... this Buick is coming out on top. It still runs and looks like new. The paint shows no sign of fading or rust. The stainless steel exhaust is still in perfect shape. GM builds a very long lasting vehicle which they do not get credit for. In fact they were sued by Toyota claiming that if they advertised that they build vehicles with galvanized metal bodies and stainless steel exhausts they would have a unfair advantage... and would you believe Toyota won that lawsuit and that's why they don't advertise this huge advantage. This Buick also rides very quiet and smooth ... much better than other SUV's that cost the same. For the $20K I spent for my Buick it has turned out to be a best buy."
