2006 buick rendezvous review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. The buick rendezvous is easy to like, with solid engineering, useful flexibility, and a handsome appearance. It blurs the lines between sport utilities, minivans, luxury sedans, and station wagons. The rendezvous seats five passengers normally, but it can be equipped to seat seven. It is available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. In front-wheel drive models it is powered by a 201 hp 3. 5-liter v-6 and in all-wheel drive models the horsepower is boosted to 196 hp. An additional 242 hp 3. 6-liter v-6 is also available. For 2006, the buick rendezvous receives trim changes, another engine option, and onstar.
