Overview & Reviews

The Buick Rendezvous has a few equipment changes for 2006. For instance, OnStar, an alarm system and rear parking assist are now standard across the board, and all Rendezvous trim levels now benefit from the sound-reducing QuietTuning initiative. Additionally, last year's base engine has been replaced with a more powerful 201-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6. Buick has also dropped the Ultra trim, which leaves the CXL with the Plus package as the top-line model for 2006.

• Usable third-row seats that fold flat, comfortable ride, plenty of interior storage, above-average fuel economy.

• Nice-looking but cheap-feeling interior materials, limited off-road ability compared to competitors.

  2006 Buick Rendezvous - 2006 Buick Rendezvous
  By DMD - August 31 - 10:40 pm

  I have owned my 2006 Rendezvous that I purchased used for almost 5 months. In short, I love this car. It is very quiet, smooth, has reasonable power, and has reasonable gas mileage. It is flawless with its fit and finish, and its quality of components is also very good.

  Pleasant surprise - 2006 Buick Rendezvous
  By Andrews T - August 28 - 9:08 pm

  This vehicle has been a pleasant surprise. After 14k and two trips of at least 500 miles each way, Ive been impressed with comfort, mileage (26+ W/ 87 Octane). Around town driving is 23+ w/ 87 octane. Storage space is great and the seating options provide a family w/ a 2 year old latch options for car seats in both 2nd and 3rd rows. Went w/ base model as it provided best value for money. Have had no major issues. Tire pressure monitor gave false reading (reset myself aftering checking) and oxygen sensor was replaced under warranty. Excellent experience. Surprised by quality and behavior of vehicle under load and spirited driving.

  Excellent Vehicle - 2006 Buick Rendezvous
  By Glenn - June 15 - 5:15 pm

  Very comfortable on a long trip. Fuel economy is very good for this type vehicle.There is plenty of room for passengers and luggage and whatever else one needs for trips. Car can be driven for long periods without driver fatigue. I have the CXL option and this gives me everything I need in the vehicle. The visibility out of the car is also very good. The car is also easy to drive and park in the city. The vehicle is very quiet and this makes conversation easy and pleasant. We looked at vans, sedans, and Suvs and found the Buick Rendevous to blend the best of each of these vehicles into one vehicle.

  I cant believe GM built this - 2006 Buick Rendezvous
  By Guy - June 4 - 5:18 pm

  We have had Mercedes, BMWs and Lexus. Most recent a Lexus RX330. The Buick is every bit as good and is more comfortable. We needed more room and didnt want to give up MPG. Guess what? The Rendezvous is bigger and gets better MPG. 15% better. We stopped by the dealer just to take a look and were sold and bought it that day. Sold by the vehicle, not the salesman who was very low pressure. Buick should do a better job of getting the word out on this one.

  What a vehicle! - 2006 Buick Rendezvous
  By Danny - May 27 - 10:59 am

  This vehicle I purchase was a steal. I am so happy with the 06 CXL AWD.I had a Ford Windstar 03 and was eager to trade it in. I was in love my Windstar but with 18 gal compare to 26 it makes a big difference.The Rendevous is of course is shorter in length than the Windstar. But the Rendevous makes up for all the sassy design and features. If youre looking for the crossover vehicle with comfort class and price, then go check out the Rendevouus. Once you go for a test drive you will be driving it home the same day. Happy Motoring !!!!

  New Rendezvous Owner - 2006 Buick Rendezvous
  By Jacklin - May 17 - 12:04 pm

  I just purchased my new 2006 CXL Rendezvous and so far I love this car! We got a great deal on it because it was a former rental with 9340 miles on it. It has everything - leather interior, faux wood grain dash, rear parking assist, power everything, third row seating, satellite radio, OnStar, automatic climate control, etc. This is the most comfortable car Ive ever owned and also the nicest. I considered a Toyota Highlander, Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Kia Sorrento. After test driving them all I knew the moment I sat down in the car that it was the one for me. As far as longevity goes, well see. But, Im am very happy with my purchase and the dealer I went to.

  I Love My New Car - 2006 Buick Rendezvous
  By mindala - May 13 - 11:55 am

  I was in the market for a Nissan Murano or a Toyota Highlander, and once I drove the Buick, I was sold. Beautiful interior, and spacious. Drives like a luxury car and has plenty of power for me.
