It's a solid vehicle

I haven't notice any weaknesses

I’m really happy with this SUV. It’s soft on the road, fully loaded and comfortable in long distance driving.

Bought my Ranier off the lot and have had for sometime now. Read the reviews before I bought it and half to tell you it has been a great vehicle Did not buy it for the mileage but for the comfort Got what I paid for it is the most comfortable I have ever had in a SUV Good car dependable quiet and real nice ride

Feel and quietness of ride. Inline six cylinder. Advantages of an SUV with the ride, feel and features found in higher end sedan.

None yet.

Chose the Rainier over similar mid sized models (Envoy, Explorer, 4Runner, etc) because of the superior ride, quietness and car feel in an SUV. Price for value was excellent. Outstanding standard options.

Quiet, luxury ride, very strong V8, lots of features from navi to AWD to power everything including a nifty built in air compressor. Very handsome lines.

You can't buy an SUV with a V8 and complain about MPG, but that is my only complaint.

Bottomline: Best deal for a used SUV. Bought this 2005 in Dec. 06 with 17000 miles for about 50% less than orig. sticker. Loaded with every option; a real pleasure to drive,

Wonderful vehicle. The best looking, best performing SUV on the market. The Rainier has 12000 miles on it and has no problems. Lots of power and good mileage, about 18 city and 22 highway. Very good for a 6 cylinder with a 3.73 rear end and a 4600 lb. weight. Very smooth ride and very quiet. It handles extremely well and a long day of driving leaves me not tired at all.
I chose this vehicle over Trailblazer and Envoy because of the air ride suspension in the rear over the coil springs.
It is such a shame it will not be made after the 2007 model year. Dodge, Ford and the cheap imports do not compare to this vehicle

Nothing but problems with the Rainier. Which include headlights going dim or off while driving at night, AWD not working properly, Grinding sounds in front wheels while making turns, It stops running while at red lights or when backing up. Molding coming off. Engine surging and missing. Of course, the dealership says there's nothing wrong with it. Check out the NHTSA office of defects investigation before buying the Buick Rainier

Buick name and overall styling

See above! the biggest problem, and one which Buick will not address is the cold start roaring and racing of the engine. If it will not shift out of the lower gears until tach is way way up. This is super anoying and the dealer will do nothing because Buick has not seen fit to issue a bulletin on it. I am not the first at dealer to make the complaint.

This is a disappointing SUV for the price. The mileage is low and there are way to many gimmicks to control. The steering wheel has 8 bottons. You could have an accident while trying to figure them out. The styling is good but it too large for normal SUV city driving. Give me back my old Olds Bravada.

Olds Bravada - it eas far, far superior to this vehicle at $10,000 to $15,000 cheaper.

looks

seats,milage,eletronics,and wind noise.

I am very disapointed with this suv. It looks and drives great but for a 40k+ suv, it has some real issues. The top two are, front seats very uncomfortable."They are hard and when driving you lean to the right." Milage is an other issue. We have never gotten more than 17 mpg, and it has over 5000 miles on it now. Also it road noise. This car is very quiet "like it should be" until your speed reaches 55+, then there is alot of wind noise. I also have some small problems with eletronics. Warning light for 4 wheel keeps comming on during long trips. Dealer can't figure it out, and drivers seat loses its setting for driver #1 or 2.
