This Year's Model Updates:

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.

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

  • A Buick Among SUVs - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    Not the sexiest SUV on the market, it is attractive and has the uniqueness of being a Buick. Wont see yourself like you would in a Ford Explorer. It is fairly easy to see the minivan platform the RDV is based on. Buick came up with a great design given what there was to work with. The interior is huge and quiet. The power seats are comfy, the instruments easy to read, controls easy to reach and HUD is useful. The ride is well controlled. The engine is more than satisfactory w/ a torque curve that is flat and over 200 lb/ft from 2000 to 5500 rpm. Avg 19 mpg in mixed driving.

  • Best riding, comfortable SUV I have driven. - 2004 Buick Rendezvous

    Bought with 120,000 miles on it. Had intermittent check engine light which 3 different garages could not figure out the problem out. Turn out to be Thrust bearing in transmission which spewed needle bearings into trans which destroyed gears and torque converter; $4,000 repair. Had to change speed sensor 3 times due to Garage using after market parts: Use Genuine GM parts for Traction and anti-lock problems. Power steering pump does not provide enough boost at idle speed, i.e. parking situations. As other reviews state, gauges are unreadable during daytime due to background color, a problem made worse by a problem with panel lights dimming system which causes instrument lights to go dim during daylight when car is shifted out of Park. Had instrument cluster rebuilt and change light sensor. Dealer advised me I would have to put new radio in to solve problem(Whaaaaaat?). All that said, it is a great riding, comfortable car. After my experience with a 99 Tahoe, bought new, I too am finished with GM cars. They just cant seem to get their act together as Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Subaru, etc. have over the last decade.

    This vehicles ride is very similar to the ride we experienced in our 2000 Lexus RX300. Very smooth. Would help with a larger V-6

    I 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.

  • Problem right from delivery - 2004 Buick Rendezvous
    By -

    Actually this car had an A/C problem that should have been found during its prep before delivery! A/C not working. Also it has On Star but its antenna was not installed at prep. Found it in a bag in the glove box. I installed it myself. To take it back to the dealer ALREADY I should charge them for MY time!

    I have put 40,000 km (i live in Canada) on this vehicle and I only had oil changes and tire rotation so far done on it. Very comfortable and easy to get in and out, lot of storage space and great on snow; good winter car.
