Best value for the money in its class

A comfortable, easy to drive, decent gas mileage vehicle. Does everything I want and need it to do. I would buy another in a heartbeat and have recommended it to others. Buick/GM did a great job with this car.

Love IT

I am very happy with my 2005 Rendezvous. I went to the car lot with my husband and was starting to get discouraged. I wanted 3 rows of seats, but not something so huge I would hate to drive it. We were shown the 2005 Rendezvous and my husband told me to drive it. Never driving an SUV or MINI Van I was a little nervous but found it to hug the road and turned on a dime. Backing this vechile out only takes a little practice. We got a good deal, I won't revisit the dealer we purchased the car from but that has no reflection on the vechile. The only 2 draw back I have had was my wipers got stuck the first time I turned them on. I dont know what the glitch was but I havent thad that happen again. And, that I wished it had a little more leg room. You are able to set the seats and mirrors to each driver with the ease of a button...so I can't complain too much on that. I definately recommend this vechile to any mom, or someone who wants the room of a van but don't want to drive one ;)

Smartest vehicle purchase I made

I am the proud owner of a 2005 Rendezvous CXL with navigation and every other option available. After test driving 15 vehicles, I chose it because of ease of entry and exit, it's smooth car-like ride, visibility, interior appointments and ease of driving. So I only average about 22 mpg per tankful, a minor negative far outweighed by all the pluses. I've put on 25,000 miles in the past year, with trips to Florida, South Carolina, and all around the Midwest. And it has only cost me for oil changes every 3000 miles. Not even a trip to the dealer for warranty work. This is my second Rendezvous and I eagerly await the arrival of the Enclave next year.

Looking for a SUV

Have really enjoyed the look and drive of this vehicle, like the storage, comfort and the extra options. Has been true to gas mpg usage on Hwy. It is just the two of us now and only selling because we do not need all of the space anymore.
