For less than $45,000, you can get a fully loaded, luxury crossover with more options and features than you can imagine. Improving on the 2002 model, the 2004 Buick Rendezvous is a beautiful machine that feels, drives and looks like you spent more than you did.

When the 2004 Buick Rendezvous is compared to other similar vehicles in its class, there is no competition. The Rendezvous is miles above the rest in both luxury and handling. Seating 7 adults comfortably, the Rendezvous boasts plenty of head room. Its solid construction eliminates most of the road noise, giving you a quiet ride. Driving is comparable to a car, but with the added feature of visibility. The chairs can even be adjusted vertically, and along with proper angling of the large mirrors, most of the blind spots can be eliminated.

The vehicle's design is both beautiful and functional. The lines are smooth, and there is certain elegance about it. As stylish as the design is, there was thought put into it. The doors are large, and open fully to allow for easy entry and exit. This feature also allows you to have easy access to the back seats if you need to put a large object in the vehicle. The Rendezvous is not only functional, but a work of art, that causes owners to be proud of their choice.

Every inch has been made functional by the designers. There are storage compartments all over the 2004 Rendezvous. The extra large front centre console is lockable. The cargo space is quite surprising, especially if the back seats are not in use.

In both rain and snow, the 2004 Buick Rendezvous handles beautifully. It drives like a car, but performs like an SUV when the weather is not favorable. Parking is not a problem with this vehicle due to its design. The road clearance allows you to see the road ahead as you are higher than other cars on the road. Once more, the blend of beauty and functionality gives the 2004 Rendezvous a clear advantage.

The options that are available are varied, and again, are a combination of safety and convenience. The stereo system is equipped with XM radio, and the factory sound system is excellent. You can also opt for a rear seat DVD system. On the side of safety, you can have the vehicle equipped with On Star, which is not only a convenience, but in an emergency can be critical. The dashboard is designed well, with gauges that are easy to read both night and day. You can also opt for the ultimate in safety, Heads Up Display. HUD projects information to the driver right on the windshield. The driver can still pay attention to the road, while monitoring speed and other important gauges.

Both functional and beautiful, the 2004 Buick Rendezvous also has an excellent resale value. You can get close to $18,000 for a 6 year old Rendezvous if you are looking to sell. This resale value really makes it an investment. All in all, this vehicle is an affordable luxury crossover that can satisfy the needs of even the most difficult to please.
