  The Perrys review of Buick - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By sterling perry jr. - March 25 - 8:14 am

  Reliable, fun to drive great family suv. Have put 30,000 miles in about 7 months. Only service required has been oil changes, new tires and adjustment of wiper arm that had locked together somehow. Have sold Buick for about 12 years and never owned one. Got out of the car business in 2000 now own own one and am verry pleased with the experience.

  BUICK QUALITY - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Magic Tom - March 8 - 2:00 am

  Great car for a great price....was attracted to the Rendezvous because of how cars are equipped (standard); the Buick name for quality (even though Ive owned few GM cars); and not the least because of the value received for the price paid compared to other SUVs of the same type; and finally because my wife loves driving it.

  Not your grandfathers Buick - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Tom Raveling - March 1 - 3:29 pm

  After 2 Chevrolet Blazers this is a great change. As desert dwellers who never go offroad we always buy a 4X2. we like the utility of a small tall station wagon (read SUV). This CUV does everything we expected without the truck like handling.

  quiet roomy comfort - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By steven c cruver - February 24 - 2:00 am

  My wifes buick rendezvous has been a real blessing for us. With 7 passenger seating and all wheel drive it allows my family and a couple of friends to go anywhere, rain, sun, or snow in absolute quiet comfort. The equipment options are great fun. Heads-up, onstar, sunroof, rear radar, dual air, etc,etc.. The sound system ranks among the best in the market with 10 state of the art speakers and a couple of hundred amps. The build quality was exceptional as the SUV came with no flaws. In the first 10,000 miles, we have had no problems. This buick is typically quiet, compfortable, built right, and loaded with luxury

  2002 - stay away - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Tom - January 28 - 8:02 pm

  Various problems throughout the life. Initial purchase - rear hatch wouldnt relock, needed replacement, dealer broke the rear hatch when fixing it. 2005 - engine wont restart within 10 minutes of stopping engine - dealer has been unable to fix it after 3 tries, no help from GM. 2006 - Rear hatch problem again - the door unlocks all by itself. Dealer has replaced the body control module after replacing the lock against my advice. 2006 - The fuel guage doesnt accurately show the level.

  Best & most suv for the money - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By davkun - January 23 - 5:40 am

  Nobody else gives you independent rear suspension, all wheel drive, just about every option under the sun, a third row seat that stows away and lots of room for under $30K. I like the way it rides, handles and I know I have AWD, ABS, even front and side airbags, and ONSTAR if the need arises. I can take the family with me along with friends. Reading the owners manual tells more about the vehicle that none of the reviews covered, like the limp mode of the engine if it loses coolant.

  Reliable - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Jim Walters - January 9 - 7:32 pm

  One of the most dependable and reliable ownership experiences I have had owning cars. The poor adhesion of paint on the interior is my only complaint I have, other than the sluggishness in power of the engine at highway speed unless you downshift, but I LOVE the consistent 20mpg that the car gives me with its performance. I waxed the interior painted surfaces after they were replaced under warranty and have had no further problems there. I love this cars transmission. A good reliable car.

  Consider this sleeper - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By PV - January 3 - 10:15 pm

  This is an attractive extremely reliable SUV. With AWD, I am averaging 19 MPG which is incredible. The engine is too small for the weight of this SUV so the pick-up and pep leaves a lot to be desired, However, once I got used to the amount of power I had available, I adjusted my driving habits. The vehicle has a lot of "bells and whistles. I love the "heads-up" display which gives me my MPH reading in the windshield. Because of the air suspension, the car allows me to inflate my tires directly from the system so no visit to a gas station is necessary. Its also handy if you get a flat tire. I am very happy with this SUV and would consider buying another one when the time comes.
