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.

Carpooling buick - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By AMY BOGNAR - July 14 - 10:00 amI have enjoyed my Buick for 18 months now. It has spacious room for the kids and drives like a dream. Although it has been taken in for servicing within the last year and the problems that have arose were looked at and are still continuing to be a problem.

More than pleased - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By rwall5194 - June 1 - 10:00 amIve bought a lot of new cars and this is by far the best one. It rides like a dream - such an improvement over my last SUV (Ford Explorer). Sits on a van chassis and that makes the difference. Great price, great gas mileage. Im more than pleased. rwall5194

the "Buick" - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By Beth - like the KISS song - May 2 - 11:12 pmI love my Rendezvous. It is a 2004 AWD and will soon celebrate her 14th Bday. I chuckle at the Buick commercials about not your grandmas Buick, as I have grandpups. Such a smooth ride. I love driving it. I sorted reviews in date order prior to mine, the man mentioned a wet floor. If his came off same line as mine, that is a factory defect, I learned this in 2014. Always had wet carpet but I had a garage. Then I moved and it was outside, got very wet. I think because i lived in Iowa and had snowy feet, went thru 100 year floods about every year, and lived on a muddy gravel road, i chalked it up to that. The seal was not tight on the window. The GM dealer had the window guy work on it, not a problem. I live in Iowa, in 2016 I drove it to Pueblo, Colorado to my sisters for Thanksgiving. On the way home I hit 170,000 miles in Lincoln, NE. Averaged about 20 mpg. Prior to that (with high mileage) I drove it to Mall of America twice. I loaded it up with stuff my daughter wanted from IKEA and it fit in the back end well. I have never worried about reliability. Repairs have been wheel bearings, which is a known problem to GM on this model. I think at about 130,000 the differential fluid dripped off the back, so some gaskets or seals were replaced - since took it in right away, no major damage done. Had the tranny fluid and radiator flushed at this time. At 160,000 the oil pan was replaced along with the transmission fluid lines. In 2016 a new tire rod on on right side (pot hole side of the road) and in 2017 a muffler. Registration is $51/year, runs like a dream and I will keep it for a very long time. I was told I got the "good engine". Has the best heater and a/c unit you could want. I take care of her, and she takes care of me :) :) :)

I Guess It Works - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By Adam - April 23 - 4:57 amI have had this vehicle for 3 years and have put 20,000 miles on it. It gets the job done i guess. I bought it in good condition for 3,000 and i think i have put 7,000 dollars into it for work. Steering kinda sucks, gas mileage is as expected for an SUV. Technology i upgraded myself (not included in my cost). The floor leaks so the carpet it always wet. AWD drive kicks off in the snow...so i dont know what the point is of having it. The dealership offered me $500 for it for a trade in but KBB says its worth 1,500. Wouldnt ever buy or recommend a buick again.

Large and efficient - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By Dave K - March 25 - 10:00 amRendezvous is GMs best-kept secret. Quieter, better riding and larger than most midsize SUVs. Better fuel economy than Highlander, yet about as large inside as an Expedition. Interior has no squeaks or rattles and is definitely one of GMs higher-quality executions. At 66 and 240 pounds, Explorer and TrailBlazer seemed cramped for me, but the Vous feels open and roomy. Most will say the engine needs more power, but it adequate and actually pretty punchy around town (remember, this is a wagon not a Corvette!). People I have shown it to love it. So far my mother, brother and wifes friend have all bought Rendezvous.

Best New Car Ive ever bought. - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By rwall5194 - November 4 - 2:00 amFor the money, this is the best value on the market. The ride is unbelievable and I like the style and features. I previously owned a Ford Explorer and there is absolutely NO comparison. This Rendezvous sits on a van chassis and provides the most comfortable ride! Ive owned Lincolns, Cadillacs, and other so-called luxury cars and this is far and away the best-riding and most comfortable of all of them! We are really pleased with this purchase

Ill Keep My Vous for a Long Time - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
By Brentana - October 29 - 2:00 amIve been looking at the Rendezvous since it came on the market and decided to buy at the beginning of the model year. Ive customized my SUV with full wood interior trim which covers a less than lovely center console. This car had everything I was looking for in an SUV, but particularly comfortable ride. Im beyond my sports car days, but think this SUV has a sporty appearance.
