Overview & Reviews
The Rainier is an all-new SUV for Buick. It is based on GM's capable midsize SUV architecture which also supports the Chevy TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy. The Rainier is available with a V8 power, but there is no extended-length version.
- Strong drivetrains, upscale exterior treatment, decent off-road ability.
- Same old plastic inside, extra features jack up the price.

Crimson Pearls - 2004 Buick Rainier
By grs48a - April 13 - 2:00 amA lot of power in the 6. The small turning radius was a real surprise, making it very maneuverable. The combo can make it very tippable. Great looking and very quiet inside. Gas mileage goes down quickly above 60 mph and in stop and go driving - currently averaging about 19.0 mpg. Love the leather seats. Its taller, but not as wide or as long as my old vehicle.

best vehicle i ever bought - 2004 Buick Rainier
By blackbeltmike - April 8 - 2:00 amthe Rainer is one of the best vehicles that gm has produced. ours has the inline 6 cyl has decent gas mileage and plenty of power. I have owned the ford explorer and it does not compare to this suv. I also owned the rendevous, this is also a good choice.

Not my fathers buick - 2004 Buick Rainier
By crash1 - March 30 - 2:00 amMy Rainer with AWD is about the most stable truck I have ever owned. Its road manners are excellent, and I was suprised at the sure footedness when I took it off road. I was sure I was making a compromise in buying the Buick version of the TrailBlazer, but the AWD changed my thinking fast. I took it on muddy tracks that other 4X4s were having trouble with, the AWD just stuck to the path and never bogged down once. Like I said before, its a very stable vehicle on city streets, highways, and cow paths.

Instant Love - 2004 Buick Rainier
By ssanders - March 16 - 2:00 amMy eyes were drawn to the body style, sleek with enough definition to break the boredom. Nice tail lights. Im getting warm. Comfortable seating, roomy interior, up to the minute features. Checked out Onstar and found their response immediate and friendly, even after I apologized for the non- emergency call. It was instant love and continues to be a growing red-hot love affair with my new Buick Ranier.

An Upgrade I LOVE - 2004 Buick Rainier
By montana467 - March 16 - 2:00 amI was a past owner of a Rendezvous The upgrade is fantastic. Very quiet, easy handle, responce is great. A little rich on gasoline--but worth it! My children love the leg room compared to Rendezvous.

Thoroughly Researched - 2004 Buick Rainier
By TrainDR - March 8 - 2:00 amPulled ahead in lease program from 02 Rendezvous. Looked at Infinity G45, Lexus RX330, VolvoXJ90,Nissan Murano,Dodge Magnum Wagon,GMC Yukon and Chevy Tahoe Z71. One test drive says it all. Smooth operator-heated seat backs is a nice plus--but when Tahoe has 290 horse, why spend up to five thousand more to feel like you are driving a truck. Rainier handles better, feels and looks like a Cadillac, sitting up higher yet feeling stable and secure in heavier truck. Good combination of engine choice and transmission.We are so impressed with Buicks new addition and are very satisfied with it.

By Tami17a - March 2 - 2:00 amMy first SUV. Love everything about it. I purchased the V8 model and am happy that I did. The engine is very smooth in transition.
