This Year's Model Updates:

A luxurious Ultra model has been added to the lineup that features an all-new V6, a monochrome exterior and heavy doses of wood and leather trim inside. A DVD-based navigation system is now on the options list for the CXL and the Ultra, and XM Satellite Radio is now available on all models. GM's head-up display is now available on the CXL as a stand-alone option.

Pros:
  • Usable third-row seats that fold flat, comfortable ride, plenty of interior storage, lots of options available.
Cons:
  • Weak engine on standard models, good-looking but cheap-feeling interior materials, options push price up quickly, no off-road ability.

  • Great First Experience - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    This is a first SUV purchase for me. The car handles well in the west texas, eastern new mexico winds. The fuel economy is better than I expected. The interior is beautiful, roomy and comfortable. I purchased this car not for off road ability but for convience of having a cargo area, easy to access and still have stylish looks. I am a single woman and need the cargo area for things like plants, moving smaller antiques and light hauling. The appearance is classy and not that of a pickup. I can still attend the plays and opera in class on Friday and haul fertilizer on Saturday. I love my car!

  • Excellent Value - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    This car is a a fantastic value. For the sizable savings, one can get a beautiful SUV that is the equal of up- market models such as the Lexus RX300 and other competitors such as the Acura MDX. There is not a single feature available on up-market models that is not available on the Rendez-vous, including DVD player and HIGHLY intuitve and highly adaptive navigation system. In styling the Rendez-vous outstrips the aformentioned in the elegantly simple and intuitive layout. Like the layout the numerous luxury amenties are likewise simple to use. Having never used it before, I learned how to use all its numerous functions in 4 minutes flat.

    We have owned our Buick Rendezvous for about 15 months. The ONLY thing I do not like about this car is the design of the rearend. I do not like seeing all of the undercarriage exposured. It is fun to drive and very comfortable seating. I have even had the opportunity to set in the rear seating. For an adult it seats 7 comfortably.

    I have not bought a GM vehicle in the past 5 yrs. I was quite surprised when i test drove and bought a 2004 Buick rendezous CXL AWD. the overall package is a steal with the cash back that GM is offering right now. There is no other SUV on the market that even comes close to the value and carring capacity of the rendezous. Believe me i looked. I am very impressed with GMs commitment to quality and raising the standard for all American made vehicles.

  • Buyer beware - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    Loved the look of this car at the auto show - ordered it right away. I will never buy another car that is a new model again. We had extra speakers from the factory that never worked. At 36,400 miles, we had to replace the front wheel bearing. At 46,500 miles (25 months old) the electrical system had corrosion due to a leak at the windshield - cost us $333.00 to replace what is obviously a manufacturer defect - the car has been in no accidents and we never off-road. Also, the dealer was no help whatsoever and kept telling us we should have gotten the extended warranty.

  • Rende-view - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    Our Rendevous has provided us with the room to travel. My wife needs a wheel- chair when we go off in unknown territory since she is a stroke survivor. With our car, that limited us as to what we could take on trips because the chair took up so much space. Now we have plenty of room. The car was also hard for her to get in and out of but the Rendevous is the perfect height.

  • Pleased with my Rendezvous - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    Very Comfortable, very quiet. All controls seem to be weel placed. Get comments frequently about the attractive design. Great gas mileage for this size SUV - 17 and 18 around town, 24 on the road - and I dont baby it.
