2006 Buick Rendezvous clx review from North America
"Buick designs and builds during Monster Garage"
General comments?
I had this for a rental car and I am in the market for an SUV/crossover type vehicle. I was not at all impressed with this product and I think the company should be embarrassed for manufacturing this product in this day and age. Have they even seen what else is out there.. Come on.
Not nearly up to the competition. Buick/GM seemed to have slapped this thing together quickly to have a product on the market in this category.
Things I like: Outside looks are OK, actually I change my mind. I liked nothing.
Things I disliked the most:
-Sound system sucks, way too boomy and muffled. Have heard $50 boom-boxes that sound better than this stereo.
-Fit and finish. Very poor at today's standard. So much stuff seems like an afterthought like the trunk storage, dashboard, sliding temperature controls (from 1970's pickup truck), vent placements...
-Poor interior lighting for driver. Try reading a map at night using the interior lights...horrible.
-Tailgate is too heavy to lift.
