  Best SUV for the money - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Craig - December 18 - 2:02 pm

  I had an audience, as I rolled my new 36" flat screen up to the back of my Buick. No one thought it was going in! We rolled the huge box, and slid it in, ALL the way, and closed the hatch! Try that with ANY SUV this nice, priced under $28K brand new. It wont happen. - The sight lines, the great engine performance, and 22.5 MPG for the first 50K that weve driven it, are unmatched with anuthing else weve looked at. - We were the first ones in our town to own one, now there are HUNDREDS! The fact that SO MANY other SUVs came out with room for 7, AFTER they saw how these sold, tells you a lot.

  Never new GM car again - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Manuel Ruiz - December 1 - 10:00 am

  When it first came out, we like the minivan and SUV features included, so we bought a brand new one on Jan. Had trouble finding a good dealer, and sales was good. Then we found out how easy it can roll away into an accident. At first nobody knew of the easy towing feature that caused accident, so some help was volunteered. But when we try to get help from GM for cause of accident, everybody from the dealer up to GM headquaters became mean and blamed us for misinformation. We are waiting for the recall!!. Now only 30K and a wheel bearing had to be replaced and electrical problems pop up. Pay it off and worry it is a PIECE.

  Money pit of a car!! - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By cpc0716 - November 29 - 11:01 pm

  I bought this vehicle in 5/02 and the car was reliable until about 25K. After that everything went down hill. Consistent electrical problems where all the lights inside and out go out for 15 sec. Windshield cracked when turning on heat on cold day, 36K. Windshield needed to be replaced $500. Dealership said there was no trauma but would not replace. Windshield wipers collapsed while driving in pouring rain on 95. Ignition switch "shot". Computer board panel needs to be replaced...should I go on? AC does not work. Mileage is poor, handling is poor. Major blind spots. GM is not helpful at all at addressing these issues. Paid 28000, 6K miles. Still owe 17K, worth MAYBE 10K!!!!

  I like it-- I really, really like it! - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Nancy S - October 7 - 2:00 am

  I have been driving this car for over 2 years: highway and city. It is fun to drive and I have had no mechanical problems with it. I love all the fun stuff on it like the rear parking aid and the window display. Even the third row seats are very comfortable.It has plenty of room to store your stuff: the double decker console is huge as are the compartments. It has all the power I need (I even tow a trailer) however the hesitation and strain are annoying. A bigger engine would be nice.

  Good car - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By carfan101 - September 30 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this car for one year and I really like it. It needs more power and better fuel economey. I would reccomend it. I really like all the storage it makes it very easy to travel in. The third row seat is a big plus.

  The Best SUV - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By velyna - September 20 - 7:06 am

  In only two months of using my Rendezvous I am very satisfied with the perfomance. Everything in this vehicle is wonderful. I drove my Rendezvous here in Puerto Rico and feels real good.

  Have thoroughly enjoyed driving this vehicle over the last 2 years. Handling and Fuel economy are better than I expected. Pleasure to drive and like all of the storage room. Plan to buy another one (to replace the one Im in)in the next couple of months

  Disappointed - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Robbie - August 24 - 10:00 am

  This is a new vehicle which I test drove on smooth city streets. When I drove it home via hill country, it turned into a struggling,noisy wimp. The all wheel drive feature makes the noise factor unacceptable. I cant believe they make a trailer package for this s.u.v. What could it possibly pull?
