Pros: Great ride, pretty good mileage, easily converts to three-seat configuration.
Cons: No real complaints from this driver...
The Bottom Line: We've been happy with this car and would buy it again!
We've had a great experience with our '02 Buick Rendezvous, which we purchased used in 2004. It had about 22,000 miles on it when we got it. Today, with about 50,000 miles on it, we're still quite happy. A few minor problems we've experienced: ...

Pros: Very roomy, comfortable, nice looking vehicle
Cons: Totally unreliable
The Bottom Line: We are a very busy family who thought we were getting the perfect family vehicle. The Buick Rendezvous is far too unreliable and cannot be trusted.
We have loved this car since the day we bought it, but it's a vehicle possessed. First I will start with the good news: The Buick Rendezvous is a great car, easy to drive, extremely comfortable, and a good alternative to a minivan. In 2001, we ...

Pros: Looks good
Cons: Nothing but a headache!
The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is stay away from this car!
Here is a letter that I am writing to Buick in hopes to get some sort of response, I think this will explain it all. I am writing in regards to my 2002 Buick Rendezvous. Since the time I purchased this vehicle back in 2002 I have had problems with it ...

Pros: fuel mileage, interior room, driving 'feel'
Cons: some interior buzzes
The Bottom Line: Great to drive around town and on the road, excellent mileage, completely trouble-free.
I'm a 'car guy', having bought for our family an average of one new vehicle per year for the last twenty years. We've had two Lexus, BMW 528, Audi, Saab, etc. Never dreamed that I'd ever own a Buick, which I considered a geriatric vehicle. However, I was...

Pros: Superb road manners, great ride & handling. The fit & finish is unsurpassed
Cons: The gas tank is only 18 gal.
The Bottom Line: Even though $30K+ is a lot of money, people who spend more for a particular name aren't getting a better vehicle.
I have never driven a vehicle like this. We just got back from the Poconos, and anyone who knows that area knows about those winding, hilly 2-lane roads that eat minivans for lunch. Well, my Rendezvous LOVED those roads -- didn't want to leave :-)

Pros: Safety, Interior, Exterior and Performance!
Cons: If I had to nit pick... It would be inaccuracy in their claim to MPG
The Bottom Line: If you don't want a soccer mom minivan but a sporty classy SUV with the same seating as a minivan with luxury to drool over... Rendezvous is it!
Perfect marriage of Minivan/SUV... and you don't have to sell a kidney to own it. I'm married/ 36/Mother of 2 leggy teenage boys and have very high marks for this well planned vehicle. If you want rough and tumble off road muddy paths in sticky/messy...

Pros: Rides better than a truck and looks better than a minivan
Cons: Underpowered, kinky Transaxle, Annoying Cruise Control.
The Bottom Line: While underpowered, the Rendezvous is Innovative, Practical, and Reliable. PGA Tour Buicks are a great catch of a deal.
Aside from a School bus flattening the front of ours, We have had no problem with this vehicle. One complaint is that the engine is low on power, causing the transmision to hunt for gears while going uphill at highway speeds, nobody else seems to notice. ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: seven-passenger capacity, nice styling, low step-in, smooth ride, great view, spacious console, and excellent handling
Cons: Smallish cargo when extra two seats are folded
The Bottom Line: Definitely recommend Rendezvous to young families, the ubiquitous soccer moms, and anyone who likes the looks of an SUV, but doesn't want to give up car ride and handling
I had researched this vehicle for about a year before I finally had a chance to see it. At the GM Test Track, there it was. After so long, I saw the beautiful Buick Rendezvous. I couldn't wait to test drive it!
From the outside, the vehicle looks...

Pros: Interior room, handling, Large field of view
Cons: Gas mileage incorrect, cheaply made key fab
The Bottom Line: I would certainly recommend the Buick Rendeveous if this is the type of vehicle you would enjoy. In all my research it outperformed the similar Lexus model.
I purchased a 2002 Buick Rendevous in March of 2002 and have now owned the Buick Rendevous for a little over a year so I feel I am qualified to write an accurate review on this vehicle. In my view, Buick has created a winner with their 2002 Buick...

Pros: Roomy Powerful Quiet ride ... brakes are great .. 4 wheel 11" disc. 185hp
Cons: I didn't get the upgrade tires
The heater fan higher speeds is a little noisy
The Bottom Line: If you don't want a Mini Van and could use a roomy alternative ... 26mpg 185hp Galvanized .. Stainless exhaust ... 4 wheel 11" disc brakes
I've owned my Rendezvous for a little more than two weeks ... it has 580 miles on it ...
So far so good ... the ride is quiet and smooth ... the radio is nice and the 3.4 185hp engine gets about 26mpg on the road .. not bad for a vehicle that...

Pros: A smooth ride with roominess
Cons: The back end is kind of unattractive and the rear hatch is difficult to shut
The Bottom Line: A great car for anyone.
I have had my Rendezvous for almost three months and I love it. I wasn's sure about this car, because I thought the back end was ugly. But after I drove this one and other SUV's (Trailblazer and Envoy), the Rendezvous drove the best and better options...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: The look of an SUV, the room of a mini-van, drives like a luxury car!
Cons: Gas mileage is 17 city 24 highway.
Insurance is higher than a car!
The Bottom Line: If you're in the market for a Mini-Van or an SUV definitely check this one out before you buy, And its AMERICAN!!!!!
I never thought I would buy anything other than a Luxury Sedan, but my husband was so impressed with this vehicle, that I decided to test one! We have two small children, and we travel frequently, so I knew that I would enjoy all of the roominess of the...

Pros: Pretty much everything, love the looks and the way it drives.
Cons: Mileage, engine power
The Bottom Line: It drives like a car, it has room like a van, you sit high like a truck, looks good, great standard equipment.
I purchased my Rendezvous used March of 2004, it is a CXL AWD. I grew up with pickups aways around the house and being available. After my father passed away the trucks were gone, and I was never was one who wanted a truck, I like driving a car. I ...

Pros: LARGE INTERIOR. 4 AIR BAGS. Decent mpg, but not 26 Thoughtful interior features.
Cons: Hard to see when backing. 3yr/36k warranty. Overpriced unless you get a large rebate.(5k)
The Bottom Line: The workmanship and quality are NOT there. I wouldnt recommend to a friend unless I wanted a enemy! Durability is zero.
I purchased by 2002 Rendezvous with 19k miles on it. I have owned it now for a 1.5 years, now it has 30k on it. I have to say this car is Junk. I have had nothing but problems with it. First, the hood started corroding by the front windshield. Then, a ...

Pros: Like the looks, love the ride.
Cons: Expensive repairs that are not made in a timely manner
The Bottom Line: I would still buy the car if better parts were put in it.
Purchase: Bought in summer of 2001 to replace a mini van We liked the looks and the interior as well as the drive. It took four dealerships before someone knew that that driver's seat could be raised with a bar. At 5'2" I was told by one salesman that, ...
