Overview & Reviews

With just one year of production under its belt, Buick is already making some substantial content changes to its Rendezvous model line. Instead of offering standard all-wheel drive on its upscale CXL model, both the lower-level CX and the CXL will now come with front-wheel drive, with Versatrack all-wheel drive available on both models. Other formerly standard items that are now optional this year include: four-wheel disc brakes, ABS, side airbags, all-speed traction control and luggage rack crossbows. On the upside, both models get dual-zone climate control. The CXL also benefits from an optional DVD-based entertainment system and optional XM Satellite Radio for extra enjoyment.

• Usable third-row seats that fold flat, comfortable ride, lots of options available.

• Paltry engine, swell-looking but cheap-feeling interior materials, options add up, no off-road ability, not as storage-space-friendly as a minivan.

  Made in Mexico - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By unhappy in ohio - October 30 - 1:59 am

  Rides wonderful except for noise in rear end when going over joints on highway. Dealer cant fix, big outer mirrors easy to use, plenty of room in front and second row, third row useless except for lepricons. Sometimes it doesnt know who is driving forgets to reset seat and mirrors. Has some problems cropping up, noise from front wheels, suspect bearings.

  We really are happy with our Rendevous. We have take 3 road trips with it this summer and it has fit everything we need. Very comfortable seating. Only thing missing is the engine power.

  I bought this SUV about three weeks ago and love it. This is my third SUV after a Ford Explorer and Honda CR-V. I love the ride.

  This vehicle fits my transportation needs in every way. I especially enjoy the great visibility and ease of handling. It is a macho machine with lots of class.

  Love It - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By Johnny - September 6 - 2:00 am

  Had a Jimmy then Blazer. I am a salesman on the road quite a bit. Fuem Milage is good at around 23 mpg. Ride is great compared to Blazer and the road noise is very low. Plenty of storage space.

  This vehicle is great! - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By David - June 29 - 3:55 pm

  Definitely a great SUV. Comfortable to ride in, roomy and gets good gas mileage. I get about 400 miles to a tank. Not too shabby! Wheel bearing on left did go out after warranty but luckily I purchased the extended warranty. Also hit a deer with it. Its fixed now, but the damage was minimal due to the sturdy build and great crash test ratings. I love it, love it love it!

  Try one and youll buy one - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By jimbo55 - June 6 - 2:00 am

  The ride is as smooth and quiet as any vehicle Ive ever ridden in. Typical high Buick quality. Gets 23 mpg at 73 mph, 18 around town. Power is good, just like a minivan. Very spacious inside. Interior seems wide. Very good sound system. Many features available, many are safety related which exceed those available from most competitors.

  Affordable Luxery! - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By Philly - June 1 - 2:00 am

  Once dealer incentives were loaded on, the Rendezvous became the value leader in Luxury SUVs. If you want comfort, style and storage it is #1.

  Extended Warranty Required - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By Robert - May 23 - 8:24 pm

  A great SUV....but it does have its quirks. At 37,123 (after the warranty) the left wheel bearing (lots of this according to GM and Buick) went out and the headers leak coolant. In for repairs, a major expense but I had Extended Coverage and saved BIG money. I am told that A/C goes out frequently also. Cannot customize factory presets. Annoying. Cant adjust door locks or running lamps or other warnings or features. Buick decided for you.
