I love the vehicle because it can travel through small floods with ease, the car is comfortable, and relaxing to sit in, good seats for people who have back issues, and drives very smooth. Over the 3 years that I've had it, I've only had brake issues one time but was able to get that fixed with ease, the car is very easy to maintain and does not cost a lot of money to do so. The only issue that I have had with it is that the lighter area/phone charger does not work but that is fine because I do not need to use a cell phone while driving anyways, this vehicle is great to use for travel, as well as shopping, has great space for groceries and/or other items bought from a store, can hold a bicycle in the back trunk space area as well as other objects of similar size.

Fuel economy for my Rendezvous is so so. It normally averages around 28mpg. Excellent sound system is comfortable to drive, rides well. Front wheel drive is reliable and safe on icy and snowy roads. We have not had any major problems with this vehicle and it has 134,000 miles on it. There have been a few electronic problems like the rear hatch unlocking at any given moment. Overall it has been a great vehicle.

Where do I start? I went from absolutely loving my vehicle one day to being afraid for my life while driving it the next. I recently had to cut back on expenses, so I got rid of my leased vehicle and purchased the Rendezvous with cash off of a gentleman on Craigslist. Within six months I had to change the oil three times, replace the gas gauge and ultimately ended up getting rid of the vehicle after it broke down on me due to the engine overheating. I was traveling to and from my job, which is about 34 miles away, five days a week with no problems at all for the first two and a half months. Then, during the month of January (hands down one of the coldest months in Northeast Pennsylvania), I had gotten two flat tires due to something being wrong with the vehicle's rims. Now mind you, I do not think that it was the fault of Buick themselves. It could have been from the previous owner or the fact that where I live tends to be pothole city (not that I hit them often or anything). So I had to get two new rims and tires in January along with an oil change because the oil light also decided to come on. Fast forward to the end of February, same story - needed an oil change after putting just 1,000 miles on the vehicle. Same exact thing happens again in the month of March. And now even better, it begins to leak some sort of fluid. My brother (a mechanic) says it was a bad seal in the tubing that the antifreeze goes through, so he fixed that for me mid March. On my way home from work one beautiful April day, the truck decides to overheat and blow a head gasket. That was it for me. I was not about to sink $1,200 into something I had just paid $2,000 for. So the totally useless vehicle has now been parked in my driveway for a little over six months.
