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.

Nice Car - 2004 Buick Rainier
By Irby Jones - July 10 - 2:00 amWhat we like the most: comfort on trips, heats up interior instantly in the winter, running board for easy access. Overall a nice car. Limited room in floor of front seat, no visor extensions and speed control acts up when in hills, starts jumping going down hills. No help from GM in a fix so far. Like the car better than the rendevous which we previously owned but has less room and storage than the rendevous.

Buick - 2004 Buick Rainier
By goodguynva - July 10 - 2:00 amThe vehicle is much more quiet than its brother and siste GM mid size SUVs. The technology is full blown and could be somewhat confusing to anyone not used to pushing buttons without word descriptions above them. I would rate the ride as above average but if youre looking for a really smooth ride, you may want to move up to a full size SUV. (GM product of course!)

EXCELLENT - 2004 Buick Rainier
By rmnord - July 10 - 2:00 amWifes car and she loves it. She had a 2002 Bravada and really liked it , but the Rainier much better. The V/8 is much better than the 6 cylinder, the ride is smoother and it is quieter. It is just a richer looking vehicle.

Well Done - 2004 Buick Rainier
By rxrad1 - July 7 - 2:00 amMy Ranier in GMs Crimson Red definitely turns some heads. Its V8 is quick and the vehicle is extremely quiet... all while getting the same MPG as my 6 cyl Grand Cherokee. With XM Radio, Onstar, Leather and Auto everything... I love MY car!!

Excellent SUV!! Thank You Buick!! - 2004 Buick Rainier
By Reeseboy - June 29 - 2:00 amI have owned my Buick Ranier for about two months now and I simply love it!! It gives you somewhat the feeling that you do own a truck in city driving but yet extremely comfortable and easy to handle. On the interstate quite honestly, I can compare its handling and comfort to my 03 Cadillac Deville. The Ranier is such a joy to drive!!

MY RAINER IS TRULY A "TIGER!" - 2004 Buick Rainier
By Sheila Williams - June 8 - 2:00 amBuying the Buick Rainer was originally my husbands idea. Having driven a Pontiac Sunfire for three years, I thought the Rainer would feel "too big" for me, although I needed the space of a SUV. However, the minute I took it for a test drive, I knew I was hooked!!!

Happy with Rainier - 2004 Buick Rainier
By Mary Mix Up - May 25 - 2:00 amThis was a step smaller from my real love the Tahoe. Reason for change was the Toyota was 11 years old and by keeping the 7 year old Tahoe in excellent condition and new tires, I had the best of both. For the kind of everyday errands and general getting about the Rainier gave me the fun of a new vehicle with the better mileage with increased gas prices.
