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.

  Buick Has Scored - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By D1 - January 29 - 10:00 am

  This is the nicest ride I have ever owned. At 61 and having had many new cars, this one has pleased me the most. It is really engineered well. Solid, noise free comfortable ride with plenty of guts when needed. The options are great. Best deal for the money out there in SUVs.

  Best Crossover Out There - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By EDonn - November 16 - 10:00 am

  Buick has done there homework. With so many new SUVs on the market what is one to think. My wife and I researched long and hard and when it came down to what suits our needs Buick won hands down. This vehicle rides better than any other vehicle we have owned. The room alone is a welcome feature and it has as much room as its larger competitors. Being the new breed of crossover vehicles Buick is leading the way. Plenty of power and features and at a fraction of the cost of others. Please test drive and then you will understand. We are very pleased.

  Great luxury, not luxury price - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By middrealtor - April 4 - 2:00 am

  When you factor in the current incentives and rebates, this car is in the price range of a base model import midsize, but gives you way more for the money. We love the traction control, safety of side airbags, style of the interior. Not gaudy like most GM vehicles, but classy. Not a barnstormer on performance, but more than adequate.

  Great Hockey Car - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By Chase - January 3 - 10:00 am

  WE needed a car to use with teenager who plays travel Ice Hockey. We needed to haul gear and child all over. We have loved the Rendezvous for comfort, it has plenty of road power for us. It was also much easier to get in and out of.

  Love the RDV - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By hwks1 - October 5 - 10:00 am

  Was looking for an SUV but wanted to keep van seating,configuration. The RDV is bigger than the Explorer,Pilot. RDV offers Captains charis second row,not Explorer,Pilot. RDV has back-up sensor which is fabulous, didnt know I needed until I tried it! Same goes for the speed control volume on the RDV stereo, cant get that on Pilot,Explorer. And speaking of tereos.. the RDV ROCKS! There is much to do about RDV performance, Drive it and judge for yourself. If you want pinned in your seat acceleration skip the RDV. If you want a comfortable vehicle that accelerates smartly and delivers excellent (for this type vehicle) fuel economy then take a look at RDV.

  Rendezvous Review by Bill - 2003 Buick Rendezvous
  By Willy 1 AZ - October 5 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is just the right size, has the right performance (with the 4 speed auto trans, gearing is just right most of the time for the engine hp) with nice luxury features. Gas milage is as advertised.
