"I loved this SUV it rides qiuiet and comfy and very roomy, I have a handicapped daughter and it carries her wheelchairs' and equipment easily with froom left over for the rest of the family. Worked well first 3 yrs however the AWD kept going out as well as all bearings needed replaced. In year 4 head gasket then again both head gaskets beginning of yr. 6. I kept it to make up for the money I put in for these bog repairs then had to have the engine repaired last summer, the AWD is out again as I write. fI have friends who also own this SUVad have not had the trouble, I would have bought another but not after all this. Looking for reliable vehicle that is somewhat gas efficient with AWD by the end of summer I used to swear by Buick not sure now."

Satisfied with reliability-overall a good vehicle

"I bought my 2006 Buick Rendevous in September 2010 after my minivan was totaled in a wreck. I knew I didn't want another minivan as our children were all grown so the Rendevous seemed to be a good option for us. My only complaints (and they're not major problems):back hatch is very heavy so I'd prefer the auto lift feature, back seat is hard to get into, the overall ride is a little bumpy and the mpg is only 19 on average. A great ride for 4 people, cramped for 5 or more."

"New brakes, tires, many oil changes, a new battery, a tune up and 1 gear shift cable is all I've ever had to do to it. Runs like a top."
