2007 | 4dr SUV 195-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
easy to get in and out of! see full Buick Rendezvous review |
2005 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.6L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
One of the few reasonable sized vehicles that you can get seven people in without an issue. They can all be bigger people. see full Buick Rendezvous review |
2011 Mazda CX-9 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Seat hugs in the right places without being cumbersome. Headrest position is much better than the midsize GM vehicles I test-drove (Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave). see full Mazda CX-9 review |
