This vehicle is an enjoyable car. It is big enough to fit our family, and yet it doesn't have the big van/suburban vibe. It's compact feel inside allows for an easy access to children needs while driving. And what I mean by that is, while we're driving somewhere it's easy to reach back and lend a hand when needed. They're close enough to me that I can reach them if I need to. It's also great space to play DVD's and not have kids complain that they can't see the player.
Story
My fondest memory was when we traveled to Oregon. It was reliable and roomy, allowing my family to enjoy the trip instead of feel cramped (other than the bags under their feet.)
Pros
I absolutely love the leather seats. The CXL version comes with all the bells and whistles. The back-up sensors are a big help, the built-in compressor is handy, and it is a reliable vehicle. I also love how the spare tire is easy to get to if we ever needed it. One of my favorite parts about the vehicle though is that it comes with tinted windows. I take comfort in the fact that my children aren't baking like they would be if they were in direct sun.
Cons
I absolutely hate how the trunk is so small. When we travel it's hard to pack everything because we have nowhere to put it. We're either stuffing our bags under our feet, or we're leaving a lot of necessary things home, which makes for a harder trip. I also don't like how hard it is to get to the third row. I have three car seats that I'm dealing with. If I want them all on the second row, then it's near impossible to get to the third row unless you crawl through the trunk.

2002 Buick Rendezvous - Decent, Roomy Car with Questionable Longevity

After owning the car for over six years, I have an overall neutral impression of it. It is roomy with two back rows that make for a complete accommodation of seven people. Plenty of cup holders for each passenger. The interior has nice leather, heated seats, and a higher-end finish. The build quality is questionable, there has been a constant coolant leak since I purchased the car. Garages have told me multiple stories on what is wrong, but none seem to have a permanent fix. The car's electrical system comes and goes. There is an issue where the automatic lights do not turn off, and there isn't a switch to manually turn off the car. To solve the problem, you have to unhook the battery every single time you turn off the car. Additionally, the front passenger seat window simply fell one... (more)
Story
I took this car on a road trip across the county and slept in the back. It was incredibly comfortable, but the gas millage hurt my wallet.
Pros
Roomy, comfortable interior.
Cons
Questionable build, electrical system didn't work well, air conditioning went out after a few years, windows were falling, coolant had an unfix-able leak.
