This Year's Model Updates:

Who woulda thought -- a Buick SUV? More accurately, the Rendezvous is one of a new breed of crossover vehicles that combines the look and utility of an SUV with the comfort of a touring car. The Rendezvous is based on the Pontiac Aztek, itself based on GM's minivan family consisting of the Chevrolet Venture, Pontiac Montana and Oldsmobile Silhouette.

Pros:
  • Available third-row seat that folds flush with the load floor, independent rear suspension, optional rear parking assist.
Cons:
  • Down on power compared to the competition, minimal off-road capability.

    Had the vehicle for 3 months ... not one single problem. Fit and finish are excellent. High level of luxury. Nice touches throughout. No regrets.

  • The Best SUV - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    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

  • My new Rendezvous - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    The dealership at Ancira was the best experiance I have had with a car dealership. I was looking for a new SUV to replace my 1998 Blazer, and had never noticed a Rendezvous before the day I took a test drive on 4-15-02. I was so impressed with the vehicle I almost bought on the spot. My husband convinced me to try out some other vehicles, so we shopped and drove several models before returning to Ancira to buy on 4-19-02. We have driven several short trips and plan a trip to Dallas later. We still love our new Rendezvous!

  • EXCELLENT BUT TO SLOW - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    I FEEL THIS HAS BEEN A GOOD CAR BUT IT IS DEFINITLY UNDER POWERED. IT SHOULD OF AT LEAST HAD THE 3800 ENGINE IN IT OR A TRUCK ENGINE.WEVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND DEALERS NOT TAKING CARE OF IT SAYING CANT BE FOUND. IM REFERRING TO AN OIL LEAK FROM THE MANIFOLD AT 50000 MILES. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS V-6. OTHER THAN THAT COMFORT,LOOKS AND HANDLING HAVE BEEN GREAT.

  • Rendezvous With A SUV/Car - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    We were looking for a SUV which drove like a car and had the versatility of a minivan. We finally settled on the Rendezvous and we sure are glad. It is quiet and feels luxurious like a Buick should yet sporty and nimble like a Suv. Best vehicle weve owned.

  • better than Highlander - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    The Highlander doesnt offer a power passenger seat, something which was very important to this over 50 year old couple. Add the memory feature of drivers seat and mirrors, plus plenty of comfort and great Turnpike ride, and I place the Highlander second. The ONLY shortcoming is the lack of power. But, I am enjoying better and better highway fuel mileage as a trade off. The RDV delivers near 26 mpg at highway speeds. I dont mind a lack of brute power in an SUV... In the end, I was down to a three year old RX300 with 40K miles, or a brand new, nicely equipped Rendezvous. The choice was obvious...

  • BEST CAR I EVER OWNED - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    In the three years I have owned this suv it never had to go back to the dealer for any repairs, or problems. What else is there to say. First car I can say this about of the six new ones purchased over the years.

  • Surprising Luxury - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    Buick Rendezvous is the perfect vehicle for a family looking for a stylish, quality vehicle with a great ride and storage. The exterior resembles an SUV, but the interior offers all the functionality of a luxury sedan. I love all the compartments - to store my belongings and my passengers. I have the optional 3rd row seat, which is great for hauling around my kids friends from soccer! The Rendezvous is functional for every day use, but also great for longer trips - its very comfortable. A family vehicle youre not afraid to show up in - whether its your high school reunion or the new hot restaurant in town. Highly recommend it!

  • My Lil Rendezvous - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    Ive driven this car from New York to Florida and back twice since I bought it and found it to be a sensational long distance running vehicle. I disagree with the road test editors opinions regarding the power of this vehicle. It had plenty power accelerating from 65 mph to 80 mph when I needed to pass other cars on the highway. Also, the gas mileage was extraordinary at 30 mpg. for the duration of both trips to Florida. I found the handling to be rather tight as compared to the Ford explorer and the Isuzu Rodeo which I have owned previously. I would strongly recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for a roomy, comfortable SUV like vehicle.
