The 2004 Buick Rendezvous is a mid-size crossover SUV that was produced by General Motors from 2002 to 2007. It was a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a comfortable and spacious vehicle with car-like handling. The Rendezvous was available in three trim levels: CX, CXL, and the top-of-the-line CXS. All models featured a 3.4-liter V6 engine producing 185 horsepower, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission that sent power to the front wheels or, optionally, all four wheels. The Rendezvous boasted a roomy interior with comfortable seating for seven passengers, thanks to its unique "theater-style" seating arrangement. In terms of features, the standard equipment included power windows, locks, and mirrors, air conditioning, a CD player, and an anti-theft system. Higher trim levels added options such as leather seats, a sunroof, a navigation system, and a premium sound system.

Despite its practicality and comfortable ride, the 2004 Rendezvous faced some criticism for its handling and fuel efficiency. While its chassis was well-engineered for a comfortable ride, it lacked the agility and responsiveness of some competitors. Furthermore, the V6 engine, while adequate, wasn't particularly fuel-efficient, especially for a vehicle of its size. Despite these drawbacks, the 2004 Rendezvous offered a compelling value proposition for those seeking a spacious and practical SUV. Its comfortable interior, ample cargo space, and versatile seating made it ideal for families and individuals who needed a capable vehicle for everyday driving. However, its lack of handling prowess and fuel efficiency meant that the Rendezvous was ultimately overshadowed by competitors that offered a more refined driving experience.
