I love that color. It's actually called cappuccino frost metallic. It was also available on the Impala and Monte Carlo

The Rendezvous is the same as the Aztek, yet, somehow, this looks almost entirely like a different car. Now that's how you "rebadge" a vehicle.

I liked this car so much when I bought it 5 years ago that I bought another Rendezvous! I love the handling, the high seating position and the 7 passenger capacity. I love the big wheels. I have never seen these cars overly rusted even here in salt-infested wintry Canada. None of my 2 Rendesvouz were rusted, this is the reason I bought this car again. Good product Buick!

My parents just bought this car last November and it runs nicely! We had my aunt’s old old one from even earlier before and it started having troubles so we had to get rid of it and had a silver Chevy mini van for a while, then it got the same problems and we got this Rendezvous and it’s the best car we’ve had in a while!

still far better looking than many of today's crossover products. I always thought the Buick Rendezvous was pretty.

I owned an 04, one of the best vehicles I have owned. Very comfortable, smooth ride, amazingly peppy for a V6 SUV, surprising fuel economy for a SUV and just all around a great vehicle. I loved that thing lol. Looked classy for an SUV of it's age. Damn, the last year I owned it I beat the crap out of it and it never failed me.

It's the relative who was ashamed of the aztek so I played dress up at the family gathering at the last minute

I’ve had my 06 rendezvous for about 6 years now and now has 211k on the dash. Been in the family since 08. Such a good vehicle for hauling stuff for ebay and all that jazz. The cargo space for even having the second row up is incredible still runs and drives great. I’ll keep it going until she gives out!

1:13 that start-up sounds good

Underrated car, this thing is beautiful! Love the Column Shifted Buicks!

I have on 07 with factory navigation and the overhead dvd entertainment. very rare to find that. my buick has 243k on it and still looks and drives mint.

Wow these are more impressive than I thought!

I just got me an 06 rendezvous, I like it, it's roomy and I got a great deal on it

The interior looks fantastic.

FINALLY! A review on something I can actually afford! ;)

That was the best car our family ever had...we had the ultra model...we loved it

My neighbors have a rendezvous that is the exact same as this but also has traction control

I was a over the road truck driver for 35 yrs, Got the car 2006. It has 30,000 miles on it. All ways parked. Still like a new car to me. Dusting off the cob webs

Atleast it looks better than the Pontiac Aztek.

This is my dream SUV! Awesome job bro.

Call me crazy, but I like it!

We bought a used 2004 cxl Rendezvous,at 100,000 miles we had to replace a hub and shorted out wheel bearing sensor.I added a bug guard and window flares,and it really improves the look.t rides very smooth ,has nav,system and chrome wheels(16").I would give it a 4 star if you have extended warranty and some TLC.Again it rides nice ,like a Buick large sedan.

Thanks getting one as a gift looks good

I have owned my 2006 Rendezvous CXL since 2009. It has 120k miles on it and no problems right now. I had the fuel pump replaced this spring and have replaced the starter, alternator, water pump, all the spark plug coils, and all the spark plugs. I get 15 mpg cit driving.

I just bought one. Pretty nice.

After all these years.... I finally found you

Always loved it.

An SUV I noticed a lot of in my childhood. Probably a bit radical for its time before the SUV craze really started to ramp up, if Buick introduced this today it would been a lot more popular I reckon. Still the Enclave, Envision & Encore all seem to be doing quite well.

5:50 nothing like blasting REO Speedwagon in a Buick Rendezvous.

My mom almost bought an Aztek, this is much nicer! The hatch looks like it's a lot easier to get into LOL...great video as always Kyle!

just bought this same model but a little more miles preety ok i enjoy it

I rode in two Rendezvous's in my lifetime, and I'd recommend one to anyone! :-)

yet another job well done kyle. as always. ive not seen a bad one yet. and i doubt i will. even if you did do one not up to par, it would still be loads better than the clone reviewers out there. whotry to mimic you. youve set the example my friend. BTW the make a wish foundation video is your best one EVER.

How do the fuel economy figures adjust under two wheel drive configuration? Any noticeable gain?

This car is dope!!!

Mine has 194,000 miles. Original engine and transmission.

Very cool!

Can someone explain to me how do you count how many speeds/gears a car has? My 2004 rendezvous has 6, but every review or ad says this car is 4-speed car??? I don't get it?

Mom used to have this! Kinda miss it.

I want to buy one btwn 16-18 years old. I love the interior and exterior!

I can certainly comment on the 2006 CXL as it's been a pretty good car. The interior is very comfortable and its very comfortable on the road. Is 21 MPG good enough these days? No - I'd like to have more, but this car is not light and is not small. The little cars that get great mileage but scary in a crash. The big 3 German cars are generally well built. They are now getting better mileage - but they have always been very safe. Something thats much more important than mileage.

Nice clean car

I love how the Aztec looks :)

I have an 03 CXL with only 95K miles on it. Shits only 6 years younger than me but it hasn't caused me any issues, it being a Florida car was definitely a positive

I like it.....and is considering this for my first car

Hey can you take a look at a Pontiac Aztec

finnaly a buick

think I might buy one

Huh... I have a friend that just got the new Jetta TDI. I think it's a nice looking car. I have a 2012 Chevrolet Impala and a 2013 Toyota Highlander. I really like both of them!

I currently drive a platinum 2003 Buick Rendezvous CX, which hit 80K last December. I inherited it from my late grandmother (had about 65K on it when she died). It's been so far so good, yet it recently gave me a SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM message. Subsequently, it started making a grinding noise when I accelerate. Could that be linked to the ABS/traction system? Will be serviced soon.

Mine has heated seats . traction control and park assist .

Thanks everyone I'm not going to make the mistake of purchasing one!

the 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous was assembled in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico

@saabkyle04 how about the Chevrolet Captiva SS 7 seater.i believe that is in the states.

Hey guys and gals, I am looking for something to be my first car. Any suggestions?

Kyle why always the cars you review have nearly no fuel ?

Let me guess...it has keyless entry but you don't have the remote?

I just traded in my 2004 Rendezvous for a 2013 Toyota Tacoma. It had 190,000 miles on it. haha It was the best car I've ever owned.

You should do a review of a 2000 deawoo longonza

@willy2madre thats only on the cars that are have them a lot of his videos dont have them if you look

the engine on the 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous Engine 3.4 L LA1 V6 3.5 L LX9 V6 3.6 L LY7 V6

Not bad at all! GM really did a great job in trying to compete with the Lexus RX330 and Acura MDX! Of course, I was a fan of GM up to 2007 before the bailout but even then, I would still go with Lexus and even Acura before GM.

These cars have the best large side mirrors and back window offer great visibility. Very safe car

I like this better than the Enclave.

My daughter had one of those. With 125, 000 miles on it, it started overheating badly. I am a mechanic, and I already had a pretty good idea what was wrong with it. I checked the radiator and found it plugged up with DEXKILL. I went ahead and pulled the front head, and my worst fears were confirmed. The entire engine, including the water jackets around the cylinders was completely plugged up with solidified DEXKILL. The cost of a new engine was more than what the vehicle was worth, so it got sold for scrap. Do not buy a GM vehicle made after 1995. They started using DEXKILL in 1996, they know what it does, and continue to use it anyway. Since they do know about it, the only thing I can think of is they want it to destroy their engines at low mileage. This is a major scandal, and I don't understand why so many people don't know about it. Most mechanics know about it, other than the ones unable to think for themselves, the ones who are not mechanically inclined, who went to school to become mechanics/technicians, and insist on following the book word for word, even when it is wrong, which it is a good part of the time with newer cars.

I think the enclave was made to replace this

It's probably a good city car though easy to park good view of the road

The Buick Rendezvous was built in Ramos Arizpe (near Satillo), Coahuila, Mexico.

@Joseph9536 Mine had a 3.4 v6, but that was an 04 year. Always had mechanics telling me how reliable they are, intact a mechanic actually bought mine off me when I upgraded to something newer/higher end! I believe it's a older engine than the one in the Impala, it's a little more fuel efficient/lightweight than the one in the Buick. That thing was easy to work on lol.

I heard that the Aztecs were reliable even though they were funky looking. I'm imagining the same can be said for the rendezvous. They nice enough, nothing jaw dropping but seems like decent a to b.

Time to get back to Buick.

Great car

can you do a tour of a new sienna xle...like a 11 or 12

Does this car have an aux ?

I'm only here to see how the name is pronounced

It doesn't appear to have any leg room at the third seating area.

i've been requesting this for a while now.any chance if you find one you could do a review on an Chevrolet Captiva the 7 seater one.Holden Captiva Series II captiva 7.in America is is known as the Chevrolet Captiva SS 2011-2012 i believe.

i assume the buick enclave was the successor to the rendevous?

What's up with the exhaust though? Why is the muffler so small and in a strange position. I never liked that

the transmission on the 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous Transmission 4-speed automatic

Отличный автомобиль!!!

I'm proud to say my 2004 Rendezvous CX 3.4l AWD has 178,200 miles and climbing. This is my first vehicle. My mom's friend got a new car and we bought her old one. It had been sitting for a year. We changed the oil, new battery, changed the transmission fluid, put on new tires, new rotors and brake pads, new wipers, and new window regulators. We are also putting on new struts and shocks. My only complaint is it doesn't have seat warmers.

Hey Kyle, how much was that particular one going for? i want it lol

my opinion on the Rendezvous is a 7/10

It does if you move the middle seats up. But then the people in the middle have no room. It really only works for children or a short family. I'm 6'5'', my wife is 5'11'', my son is 6'5'', and my 13 year old daughter is 5'9''. We had no use for the 3rd row when we owned it. It was a very good car. It had 190,000 miles on it before we traded it off for a 2013 Ford Explorer.

will you do the range rover evoque?

How many Cadillac convertibles are on it

What is your dream car Kyle?

Remote start?

In 2006 all GM could squeeze out of a 3.5 V6 was 195HP/215TQ? The Nissan VQ35 was producing 265HP/246TQ since 2004.

Can you do a review on a Toyota fj cruiser before they go off the market

I do have a buick rendezvous 2007. I 'M LOOKING FOR another buick

That will definitely be my car when I get into 10th grade

Very rare find only 80k miles CXL where can I find one like that

@holdencommstra Try looking up Saturn Vue. I don't think Kyle has a review for that but I think that would be the closest vehicle to the Captiva in the US. Chevy doesn't sell anything with the Captiva name in the US.

I've had one since 2007, it's a good car for a car that was designed in 2002. Very roomy and smooth ride. Takes a lot of gasoline tho

Is Buick a premium brand like Cadillac or Lincoln ?

will do thank you

The Rendezvous' styling was too old for the time in which it was built.

@Nathanisking No, that would be any vehicle that they put the Northstar engine in.
