  Awesome change - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By LaxMom - January 12 - 2:00 am

  Believe it or not, I traded a Lincoln Navigator to purchase this car. I needed better gas mileage and a shorter car to fit in parking garages. I also wanted an SUV because I didnt want a minivan. I test drove EVERY SUV on the market, and chose the Buick RDV. I LOVE this car. I love the interior comfort, the third row seats, and the size of the vehicle. It fits Lacrosse Sticks for 3 kids which was a "must". The pickup is good on the highway, and the gas mileage is a great improvement from what I was used to. I would recommend this car to anyone!!!

  I love my Rendezvous! - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Rendezvous - October 29 - 10:29 pm

  This is my favorite auto Ive ever owned including the Lexus. My Rendezvous is the most comfortable, well designed, and reliable car Ive had. I also love the design. I now have about 150,000 miles on it, and am thinking about trading it in for a new one but I love this one so much Im hesitant. I wont buy anything else. Ive never owned a bad Buick, but this Rendezvous is really over the top in excellence. You have already achieved perfection with the engine and design, now just add a little bling. I would be happy to test one out for you!

  Our best vehicle yet - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Raymond Smith - August 15 - 8:08 am

  This is my wifes SUV and our first one. My wifes feelings are this is the best driving vehicle we have owned yet. There have been many during our 40 years together. I like how it handles, as well as its appearance. It also comes in handy when we need the space to haul something. My wife calls it her shuttle because she drives myself and my oldest son to our VA doctors appointments. It is a lot better as for getting in and out of compared to a car. I guess you could say we are completely satisfied with our Rendezvous.

  Best car Ive eve owned - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Susan Blunck - August 3 - 4:00 am

  My 2002 Rendezvous has been a joy since the first time I test-drove it prior to purchasing. The ride is smooth, quiet, reliable, quick to respond. In four years of ownership, I have not had a lick of trouble with it.

  Customers like it - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Smits, Michigan - July 31 - 9:03 pm

  By far the leader in midsized SUV comfort, ride and style, in the year 2001. Pontiac Aztec was weak. The Rendezvous is miles ahead of that vehicle. BR has 95 cu. ft. of cargo space. Comfort and quiet ride. Great sight lines. Nice rear views. Practical in every way. 3 rows comfortable seating for seven full sized adults. No one had that in 2001-02. All kinds of imitators in the 5 years since this stylish truck hit the market. Lexus. Benz. Nissan. BMW. You name it, they all followed after they saw the 100s of thousands of Buicks sold. Probably an underappreciated vehicle.

  Thrilled I Bought It! - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By VeryPleased - July 20 - 10:00 am

  When I decided to go SUV I began w/large models being used to a minivan. Found plenty of room but even luxury models had big truck feel/ride I hated. Mid SUVs were blah! Just when I was ready to give up SUV idea I found the Rendezvous. Reviews were mixed but I was curious enough to check out. Glad I did! I LOVE MY "RUV"! Ride is awesome,smooth & quiet. Leather seats roomy, 2nd row Capt seats keep my 2 kids happy in their own space. When needed 3rd row offers comfortable xtra seating. 3rd row down--great cargo room. Tons of extras. Excellent value for my $$ glad I passed up Acura MXD! Handles beautifully.Was used to better MPGs but I hear 17mpg not bad for this veh type. Test drive & see!

  Pretty darn good - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By Rick - July 14 - 4:41 pm

  Vehicle has worked out very well. Comfortable, and larger than most of this price range. Very good gas mileage. I like the looks, and it has more luxury than others in its class. Very few problems, very well built.

  Finally decided on one... - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By kencal2000 - July 13 - 10:00 am

  After weeks and weeks of researching suvs and pinning it down to the Honda Pilot and the Rendezvous...the Buick won out. I love the exterior styling and the luxury features inside and all the other bells and whistles that Buick has to offer that the new Honda cannot compete with as yet. Just wish that the power was a little more... So far 550 miles on it and no complaints otherwise.

  This was my 1st new car & I can say nothing bad about this beauty! Its comfort is impeccable, its class is luxurious, I love this car. I have had it now for 4 yrs., and I would buy this car again! I have had so many comments about how beautiful it is, from day one. I have had wonderful service from it, and I have taken very good care of mine. I keep up with all service on it. Thats the key. It takes me everywhere safely! Love it!

  50,000 mile review - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
  By pjk - May 27 - 8:59 pm

  Ive had my Rendezvous now for 52,000 miles. Had very little problems. I drive 21 miles each way to work, very hilly rough terrain. I live in PA, very tough on vehicles. Salt on the roads all winter. Large pot holes. One day last winter I counted twelve small cars and small SUVs on the side of the road with serious suspension problems after one of our major highways fell apart in Jan. My Rendezvous has a tough suspension, stainless exhaust and large 16" wheels. The activated charcoal cab air filter is great for keeping deisel exhaust etc. out of your lungs. The OnStar is a lifesaver I will not do without. The galvanized metal body does not rust. No problem with half ton loads
