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.

  had some problems - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By mom M - October 11 - 2:00 am

  I loved my rendezvous when I first got it, but Ive had some problems. I had to replace the transmisson, the body modeular for the electrical, those are some serious issues. The dealership has been great however. I am thinking of looking at the 2004s

  review - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By sasatac - October 8 - 2:00 am

  We love this car. It turns nicely compared to a smaller car. It is the right size for parking yet big enough to be a SUV. Back seats are a little uncomfortable to the kids compared to our Grand Marguis.

  WOW!!!! What a car!! - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By brinchatt - September 19 - 2:00 am

  When the Rendezvous first arrived I thought it was one of the most butt- ugly SUVs Id ever seen!! Thank GOD I was wrong!!! After comparing it to all the other SUVs on the market, Ive discovered the styling to be unique and beautiful!! There are only 2 negative things I can say about it, it is a bit underpowered, (needs a V-8), and also gas mileage isnt so great. But who cares? You dont buy and SUV for it gas mileage!! Thanks Buick, for building a truly unique and beautiful vehicle!

  This is the happiest I have been with a new vehicle since my 1981 Honda Civic 4dr. The build quality is wonderful, interior comfort is outstanding, the vehicle looks great, and the handling is surprisingly nimble. It handles like a car, not a SUV.

  Love the 2003 Rendezvous - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By Melissa1215 - September 3 - 2:00 am

  I wasnt ready for a minivan yet so I went for the Rendezvous. Best decision I ever made. Not only does it look great but it handles beautifully. We took it on vacation the day after we bought it, 5 hours in the car and 1 DVD system, not a peep out of the kids other than when it was time to change the movie. So comfortable, smooth ride, lots of leg room, great gas mileage, stereo system rocks. Maybe the engine could use to be a little more powerful, mostly at higher speeds, but most of us owners are people with kids. Exactly how fast do we need to go?

  I love my SUV - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By Bernie4455 - September 3 - 2:00 am

  Lots of room and fun to drive. The mirrors are fantastic. The Rendezvous is one of the most enjoyable vehicles I have ever owned. I love the sporty looks of it. handles great in rain. For the money I think the cloth interior could be upgraded. And for those who get shocks from the static in the cloth seats, take a downy sheet and rub all over the cloth, it takes the static out.

  Not a single problem, GREAT versatility - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By J Ferg - September 3 - 2:00 am

  Nothing to do but oil change, tire rotation and enjoy. Even our Volvo and Honda havnt been this reliable. We LOVE the interior bins all around, the cargo capacity, and the versatility of the whole vehicle. Even our dealership has been excellent to deal with.

  My 2003 Rendezvous - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By crbmbb - August 13 - 10:00 am

  The appearance is great. The interior appointments are good and the vehicle has numerous features that I like. Performance is adequate, though wont win any drag races.
