  COMFORT FOR SENIORS - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
  By Twila D - October 9 - 2:00 am

  In july. 2000, i had a total knee replacement. I found it difficult to enter &/or exit most vehicles including my Buick Le Sabre. Riding with my daughter, in her Pontiac Aztec, made me realize that stepping up with a "grab handle" then "sliding out & down", with a handle, was SO much easier on my knee. I would recommend the Rendezvous for anyone who has had joint replacement! The trunk is easy to access with its big door that opens way up, & makes it easy to carry things.

  20004 Rendezvous CXL - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
  By jwilder185 - October 3 - 2:00 am

  The vehicle is easy to drive and has excellent front and side visibility, so- so veiw to the rear. The 3.4L engine will not win races but it provides adequate power and respectable fuel economy. Entering and exiting the vehicle is easy and it provides a comfortable seating. It is extemely quiet, (except at full throttle)and it provides comfortable seating with sufficinet leg and headroom. The Navigation system is pretty easy to learn, the sound sytem is good. It is a good vehicle to consider if you are in the market.

  Quiet, Solid, Spacious - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
  By J.R. Kent - September 21 - 2:00 am

  Our Rendezvous CX-Plus all-wheel-drive has very low levels of road and engine noise and is incredibly smooth -- a merciful reprieve from our noisy 2001 Accord EX. Interior is well thought-out and a nice place to be. Seats are the most comfortable Ive ever experienced over long distances. Interior is multi- configurable, has lots of space and a flat floor. Handling is secure. Suspension damping could be about 5- percent stiffer to cope with large road undulations at highway speeds. Gas mileage on a recent 900-mile road trip was 22 mpg at 75-to-80 mph with air conditioner running.

  Pleasantly Suprised - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
  By Krissy L - September 1 - 2:00 am

  Being that Im only 24, and a little younger than the traditional Buick target, I didnt even consider the brand when looking for a new SUV. However, a salesperson managed to convince me to try it out, and I loved it from the minute I stepped foot into the vehicle! It is comfortable, has tons of storage, has quite a smooth ride, and doesnt seem to guzzle gas as much as the other SUVs Ive owned. Definitely a winner!

  Why I Choose The Rendezvous CXL - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
  By E. Jaundice - August 29 - 2:00 am

  My first priority was that the Rendezvous drives and handles like a car rather than a truck which other Suvs I tested did. Its design is unique and most attractive. You sit up nice and high and your view of the road is perfect. The large side view mirrors give exceptional rear viewing although their size leave small blind spots looking forward.

  good, very good - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
  By steamer - August 23 - 2:00 am

  Have owned it for just over a year now and have driven it on daily errands as well as long (4 hour +) drives and everyone driver and passengers are comfortable. Terrific pack out, love the optional third row seating (but this kills the pack out). Handles well and gets good mileage. Wife loves the rear assist feature that pings hen she is colse to an object behind her. Leather interior is holding up very well with two kids and a dog frequent riders. Great alternative to the standard mini van.

  Nice Ride, but needs more power - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
  By wiseone - July 18 - 2:00 am

  The car provides a very smooth ride, but needs more power, especially during initial acceleration when trying to merge into traffic thats moving faster (like freeway entrance ramps). Would prefer if the rear captains chairs didnt have a headrest as the headrest on the right passenger side entirely obstructs the drivers view and creates a dangerous blindspot. Was also disappointed in the fuel economy. The Rendezvous gets worse gas mileage than my Chevy Silverado V8. For the money, though, you get a lot of bells and whistles.

  3.6 ltr AWD CXL - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
  By PaSteve - July 11 - 2:00 am

  Overall, we are very happy with the RDZ with the bigger engine (it is not an Ultra)providing strong acceleration and good gas mileage. Storage areas and interior space are excellent. Rear windows roll almost all the way down. Only problem to date is a gas gauge (this is a problem on some of the 2004 model, not earlier years). Viewing while backing up is very difficult due to back pillar design and obstruction. Handling could be tighter, but is good compared to minivans and truck-based SUVs. Leather interior is ok, but not upscale.
