Buick Enclave: Driving Impressions
Despite structural similarities to the wildly styled Pontiac Aztek, Buick's
crossover model has a personality of its own. Automatic-transmission responses
are quick and easy. Acceleration is good, if not exactly inspiring. The
Rendezvous runs very quietly and offers plenty of versatile space. The gauges
are notable in appearance, but they're not the easiest to read at a glance.
The Rendezvous delivers a generally soft ride, but its suspension hits some
bumps rather hard. Handling is reasonably precise with good steering feel and
feedback, very much like what drivers might expect from a minivan.

Buick joined the minivan market for 2005 with the Terraza, which features
sliding side doors and a low step-in height. For 2006, the Terraza can be
equipped with a new 3.9-liter V-6.
