It is rated 12.4 L/100 km combined: about 37 litres every 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $57.66 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Best uses
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the Rendezvous tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.20 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Talk to a person
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2005 Buick Rendezvous from us first.
