2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL review from North America
"My first and last Buick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the intake manifold gasket while under warranty. Lucky for me.
Replaced ignition switch after my wife lost all power and lights driving down the expressway. Fortunately I had purchased an extended warranty when I bought the car.
New tires already.
New battery.
General comments?
Car is very underpowered. Cannot accelerate without changing down to a lower gear.
The gray/green instruments are impossible to read except in optimum conditions.
Road noise is terrible, as other reviewers have noted.
Comfortable ride; car has all the bells and whistles. The rear proximity indicator is very nice. My wife and kids feel safe in the car.
The dealer here treated my wife so badly when she took the car in for regular service that she no longer will get near that place.
