CHANGE FROM A 4-WHEEL TO AWD. - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
By KAY - March 25 - 10:00 amAT FIRST I THOUGHT THE LOOK WAS FUNNY, BUT IT IS SO DIFFERENT IT GROWS ON YOU. IT HANDLES BEAUTIFULLY. STEERING IS SEMI-LUXURY, I LOVE THIS PART. HAVENT HAD IT LONG BUT AM IMPRESSED SO FAR WITH GAS MILEAGE AND FEATURES. ONCE INSIDE IT HAS A LARGER APPEARANCE AND EXCEPTIONAL ROOM. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE SEATS COMFORT AND THE RIDE IS A PLUS ON LONG TRIPS.IT HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER TO GET UP AND GO WHEN NEEDED.BUT COULD TAKE THE ROAD BUMPS SOFTER,HAS A TENDENCY TO BOTTOM OUT.

LOVE MY RENDEZVOUS - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
By SALBERT - January 27 - 10:00 amONLY OWNED A WEEK BUT I LOVE THIS CAR. FUN TO DRIVE, INTERIOR ROOM AND LUXURY FEATURES CANT BE BEAT. KIDS LOVE THE ROOM IN THE SECOND AND THIRD SEATS. SURE MOST SUVS SPORT A LITTLE MORE POWER BUT THIS VEHICLE HAS PLENTY WHEN YOU NEED IT. QUALITY, RELIABILITY ASK ME IN 4-5 YEARS BUT AFTER SPENDING AT LEAST 8 GRAND LESS THAN A COMPARABLE LEXUS RX300 (W/O 3RD SEAT) ILL TAKE MY CHANCES.

Decent SUV - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
By klkrlk - January 12 - 10:00 amI have been satified with this vehicle for the last 3 years; no real major problems. Only the A/C compressor went out at about 30K (under warranty). My only real complaint is the materials used in the vehicle just "feel" cheap; not up to other luxury SUV standards. However, this vechicle is loaded with options and has great passenger/storage room. I have noticed a lot of rattles and squeeks (sun roof, seats, doors, etc). Just one final note: Depreciation is HORRIFIC; so if you get one, you need to keep it a LONG time. I just purchased a RX 330 and cant give this car away!

Just Love It - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
By mm6mb - January 3 - 2:00 amI had a 1992 GEO Tracker for 10 years so when I finally decided to get a new car, I decided on a Buick after looking at all of the other models. I never have planned to take this vehicle off road so the comfortable ride was very important to me. For the price I paid, I couldnt asked for a better car

Just Love My Rendezvous - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
By AzSunShine - December 29 - 3:16 amI have had this vehicle for 5 weeks and Im absolutely in love with. I read the reviews about the small engine and I feel the engine is more than adequate for my use. The ride is so smooth and it is very roomy inside. You have to open the entire rear door, which could use improving. As far as gas mileage goes I currenly am getting 16 mpg which is pretty good for the type of vehicle. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone interested in a suv/van/car combo.

Classy Family Ride - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
By Larry S. - August 17 - 10:00 amThis vehicle has been very good in the 1st 18 months. The styling and functionality are the strong suits for this vehicle. The third row foldaway seats are a must for a larger family. We have only had one waranty repair since purchased.(Traction Control Sensor) The power and performance have been good for us, but we usually travel on flat highways. Two trips to Florida from Ohio presented no grade problems. The passing power of the 3.4L engine is super from 40-65 mph.

What to call it? - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
By printman - August 3 - 10:00 amThis vehicle rides like butter, smooth and soft, with enough power to get into traffic with ease. Visibility all around is good, and is reinforced with the ultrasonic backup system a must have. The stereo is a delight that floods the cabin with great sound - which is good because theres hardly any road noise to keep you awake. Finally, the headroom even with the sunroof is wonderful. Id buy it again.

Unexpected Surprise - 2002 Buick Rendezvous
By REW - April 21 - 11:30 pmI was scepticle about buying an American vehicle after owning Hondas and Acuras for many years. My first choice was the Acura MDX, however it was out of my price range. I bought the Buick Rendevous after test driving it twice. I found the exceleration just fine. The interior appointments are luxurious and the eight speaker CD player has great sound. This vehicle is larger and more compfortable than other SUVs.
