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.

Great SUV - 2004 Buick Rainier
By WEE3 - August 18 - 2:00 amWe have taken the Rainier on two long trips and are impressed by Buicks version of the Trailblazer/Envoy/Bravada. It is a worthy addition to the GM line that provides a great balance between pampering and practicality. This is the third vehicle Ive owned with an in- line six. Why arent they available in more models? GM needs to put this engine in a Buick sedan with a Continuously Variable transmission (CVT) for the ultimate in smoothness and power combination before the internal combustion engines are phased out completely.

nice SUV - 2004 Buick Rainier
By vic22 - September 5 - 2:00 amBought the car almost a month ago. Rides great - exceptionally smooth but not too soft - still has good cornering ability for an SUV. Without the rebates the car cannot compete well against imports mainly because of the interior design. Otherwise performance is at a par if not better. It has been a surprise to get only 15-16mpg in mixed suburb/hwy driving. Maybe during the summer it will get better.

Why Dont I See More of Them? - 2004 Buick Rainier
By mapwsenn - July 18 - 2:00 amI have the 8 cylinder. My previous car was a luxury European model, and I dont miss it all. Great pickup when I need it on the turnpike. Quiet with very little outside noise. It is hard for me to understand why I am not seeing them on the highways.

By GottaBbuick - September 22 - 2:00 amBuick is headed in the right direction. A super SUV for "serious achievers" as Buick puts it. We love the Rainier. Quality, comfort and style.
