2007 Buick Rendezvous - Great but going downhill
Overall I have loved my 2007 Buick Rendezvous. It looks great, drives great and rides great. With a 3rd row seat or fold down for cargo area, there is plenty of storage. For anyone wanting a family friendly and roomy vehicle, this definitely has it all.
Story
My children and I traveled about 6 hours away to pick up a new puppy. On the trip home, my low fuel light came on and I was trying to make it to the location with the good deal on gas...but instead I ran out of gas. A lovely state trooper rescued us by taking my son with him to get a gas can and fuel and gave him the ride of a lifetime!
Pros
It has heated seats, which I absolutely LOVE in the winter and even during the warmer times I will turn them on and it feels good on my back. I love the sunroof as it reminds me of my younger days when I had a convertible. It has a lot of room and a 3rd row seat which has allowed me to carry several people with me. It has been kid friendly, especially since I added a DVD player. We have enjoyed several road trips to the beach and elsewhere.
Cons
There haven't been many cons about this vehicle overall. It doesn't have separate climate controls for the back seat and there aren't any air vents in the back 3rd row area. There is an accessory plug in the front console but it is in the same area where it is convenient to put your change and evidently some loose change got in the plug area and shorted it out. The other accessory plug was in the back of the console in the back seat area and with cords being pulled out it pulled out the accessory plug. Better placement would have been appreciated.
2007 Buick Rendezvous - Not impressed.
This vehicle interested me at first because it looked sharp. I have three children, so I needed a vehicle that would fit our family and not a minivan. It had nice features such as the heated seats and sunroof and upfront display. I did not like the layout; however, because with the back seat pulled up, there was no room for storage. Hard to take this vehicle anywhere that you are traveling to due to the lack of room.
Story
My best memories in this car include driving around with the sunroof open and music up loud, and singing in the car with my children.
Pros
My favorite features of this vehicle are the leather heated seats, the Sirius radio capability, the up-front display, and the sunroof. The car is suitable for a traveling mom, easy to get in and out of, no automatic doors that break down or can be hard to function. These things made the vehicle desirable at purchase.
Cons
We didn't know when we purchased the vehicle that there was a common problem with these vehicles...the speed sensors and ABS lights. Shortly after we purchased the vehicle, we had problems with the ABS/traction control lights staying on all the time, regardless of what we have done to fix it. Also, the battery light comes on when putting a load in the car and then going up a hill. The only other negative thing is the space. Not good for a family that needs extra space.
