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.

  great suv - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By W. Conrad Richards - June 18 - 2:00 am

  I have had my Rendezvous for 3 weeks now and think it is great. Im so happy that we made this choice. My wife is tall and likes lots of leg room and this SUV has plenty. The salesman said that we could take a test drive for a couple hours (imagine that) to see if it was the right car. Well we drove for an hour but had made up our minds in the first 20 minutes. What a quiet comfortable ride. We couldnt be happier.

  Shame on GM - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By Sposse - May 24 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle is severely underpowered considering the poor gas mileage I get with it. The interior is nice and spacious. The passenger rear door often doesnt close properly and hasnt since the day I bought it. GM says its an air pressure issue?!? Finally, I had the roof rack rip off at 40 mph loaded within owners manuals specs. Again GM claims no responsibility.

  Built for how people REALLY use an SUV - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By berne1 - May 19 - 10:00 am

  I reluctantly leased my Rendezvous CXL, never having owned an SUV/minivan type vehicle. I am impressed so far at the build quality and amount of features for the money vs. a "traditional" truck- based SUV. Much more room, lower step in height and the Rendezvous is much quieter. I have been surprised at how much I like it so far.

  Perfect - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By Frogjameez - May 19 - 2:00 am

  My husband and I needed something much bigger than our Cavalier to haul our 3 year old, 2 dogs, backpacking equipment and building supplies. This vehicle was the perfect choice. It is extremely comfortable, very nice ride, corners way better than a Cavalier and has TONS of storage space. My husbands dad works for GM, so the discounts and incentives we got on this vehicle are incredible. The gas mileage is pretty darn good for an SUV, but what they dont tell you is how much less you get in the winter, granted this is MN, but I had no idea that the cold weather would have such an impact on the gas mileage. Needless to say though, I love it!!

  I Like It - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By kristinka - March 20 - 2:00 am

  I bought the vehicle after many months of soul searching for the right one...wanted plenty of room for the kids,my husband and myself. The lack of power may be an issue for some, but Im a mom driving my kids and friends not a racecar driver. I find it to have plenty of room, comfort, and style with the leather interior and sun/moonroof I didnt go wrong!

  By DiMats - February 28 - 2:00 am

  This is the first time I have been complimented many times on the beautiful exterior of a car I own from young to old alike. It is a comfortable car to drive and handles very well in snow and rain alike.
