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

Not a bad grocery getter - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By Josh Hughes - February 7 - 6:17 amThis vehicle has been very reliable. We purchased it with just 11,000 miles and now have over 105,000. The only work that has ever been done is routine maintenance. We have blown a few fuses with various electronic equipment, but they are easy to replace ourselves. From a style standpoint, we have gotten a few jabs over the years from our younger friends who think it looks like a van. This was our first Buick, and although they have a reputation for being popular among the over 60 crowd, you cant beat the reliability.

Great midsize SUV - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By frmby97 - January 12 - 12:16 amOur Rendezvous consistently gets 20-24 mpg in city driving, and sometimes as high as 26 hwy. It has a lot of room in the back, as we dont have the 3rd row seat. The seats fold down completely, and you can easily and quickly remove the entire back seat to open up even more room My wife really appreciates all the storage up front, and the steering wheel audio controls are nice also. Complaints: our brakes wear out a little quickly, but it is to be expected on a heavier vehicle in city driving and the cloth seats are wearing out and stain easily. Very pleased overall.

Good value - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By pa - October 15 - 9:14 amIve had this car for 4 years. Ill be honest, it is a boring car. Yes, the interior is plasticy (which, after 4 years, has certainly worn down to the point of needing some sort of paint repair) and the exterior isnt exciting either. But, with that said, it has been a very reliable car. Ive had one repair in 90K miles which Im sure is pretty rare. The third row has been very convenient for the extra- people situations that pop up (and yes, adults can fit back there). You feel safe in this car.

Disappointed - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By Pete Hulett - July 6 - 10:13 amI had problems with the ignition from the start. This Buick refused to start and was at the garage three times for this and they could not find the problem. I moved and it stopped moving day and was repaired in a city. worked 6 months and did it again. They reprogramed the keys this time. Now just this month it did it again. Well this time it was the fuel pump - only 41000 miles and its gone $611 to repalce, thnk goodness for extened warranty. I have owned Buick for 20 yrs with no issues like this. My last Buick had 172,000 and no issues. There will not be another one after this one. Have to keep it as no ones buying them now. Just waiting to see what is going next.

Great car - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By TLC - February 21 - 1:12 pmIve had this car for 4 years, and its been a delight. Comfortable but with all the functionality of clunky SUVs. Only one recall, so it was well-built. Ive had no (knock wood!) major problems with it just typical maintenance issues. Id buy another in a minute if GM still made them. Was never crazy about the exterior design, but the interior is what I see most, and I love it. Got great mileage until recently (probably need to change fuel filter or something). Ill be passing this car onto my daughter when she turns 16 next year, and feel good that shell be in a safe, reliable car. Ive been spoiled, and Im not sure I can ever return to a sedan!

Rendevous with this one /Nice SUV - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By Tom Russell - July 10 - 10:00 amThis vehicle is underated, except HP, I have had this vehicle since July 2002, it has 15,700 miles and I really love it It handles well, has a loads of storage space. Fit and finish is very good, however it is produced in Mexico (so much for foreign trade) The seats are very comfortable, and up front visiability is excellent. If you purchase one make sure you check the options on the sticker, and that they are actually on the vehicle. Mine was missing footrests, and cabin air filters, which are located in the glove box. Take your time and look it over very carefdully you might want to Rendevous with this one !!

2004 Buick Rendezvous - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By mellowsong - June 15 - 12:40 pmI absolutely love this vehicle. It has been virtually trouble free since purchase, is extremely comfortable for me (I have a severe back injury) and has plenty of get up and go. My only complaint is gas mileage, but I knew that when I bought it. I actually get better than stated. I would recommend this to anyone.

Good Auto - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By Gee Wizz - February 15 - 10:00 amI also own a Aztek, in fact bought the Buick because of my good experience with it. I like the Buick looks, ride and quietness. I primarily use it for longer highway driving trips. AWD is a comfort feel when I go to unfamilar places. I get many comliments about the looks of the vehicle. I have no problems or repairs to report in the 21,000 miles Ive driven. I like its smaller size & car-like handling. A little underpowered,but thats not an issue with me.

Rendezvous Review - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By BOwens55 - January 3 - 10:00 amNice vehicle. Good alternative to either regular SUV or minivan, however, having owned two minivans previously, I miss the extra room behind the 3rd seat. My Rendezvous has 3 seats, but hardly any storage room behind the 3rd one.
