2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL review from North America

First off let me say that for the most part love my Rendezvous. I haven't had all of the problems that the rest of you have had. However, I have had all of my wheel bearings replace and rotors machined, but they still make noise.

I have also noticed in the last two trips to my in-laws, which is a 12 hour trip, the vehicale used 4 qts of oil just on the way there, but not back. This to me is very confusing. I have 14 years of experience in servicing vehicle's and have never come across my particular problem. I have checked every possible area that would indicate any oil usage and have found no leaks or indication that it is burning oil I AM STUMPED.

This is by far the the nicest vehicle I have ever owned.

It handles very nicely.

My Rendezvous has AWD and the day I purchased it I tested out its off-road capabilities, and it proves to be quite excellent in fairly deep snow and moderate mud. Now, some of you might be wondering why I tested the vehical the way I did.

Well, I like to go ice fishing and I burn wood in the heating season. As some of you know the snow on a lake can get quite deep, and when cutting wood you can run into some pretty good mud holes. So I needed to know if the vehicle could handle all that I could throw at it.

Of course when I purchased it in the spring of 07 I didn't have a lot of snow, but I did have a good amount of mud. It wasn't until this winter that I knew what it could handle for snow. To my suprise I was Four wheeling through knee high snow and still had enough traction to go through deeper.

My wife really loves the seat warmers and sunroof.

The acceleration is amazing.
