Buick Rainier

This vehicle is the most fun of any I have ever owned. My fourth Buick, this is my first SUV. The ride is comfortable, and with plenty of leg and head room for a 6'6" guy. It handles well on the road and I have tested it in urban and rural, flat and mountain terrain. In the winter snow, on hills, it never hesitated to give a feeling of full control. Sight lines are good. Fuel mileage is good for a vehicle of this type.

I am very pleased with the overall quality of this vehicle. It is the best mid-sized suv I looked at and it has not disappointed me

I looked for months before buying. I tried (road tested) every luxury SUV on the market. Some were to big, some were to small, some had to hard of a ride and I really stumbled across the new Buick Rainer. It has a wonderful ride, lots of creature comforts like heated seats. I like the pep, the smooth ride. Best vehicle I have ever had.

Great smaller SUV. Easy to handle, fits nicely in garage, very comfortable, and the new insulated glass is a big plus in reducing outside noise. We also own a Denali and it's comparable just on a smaller scale.

Mid size suv is ideal for comfort and performance. Very nice to drive. I weigh 235 and am very comftorable in this suv. My wife is 100 lbs less and is very comftorable as well. X band Bose sound is awesome. Would like to have seen a bit more contemporary design inside but it is nice as is. Side air bags are not standard and should be along with curtain air bags. However we feel very safe in this vehicle. Six cyliner has plenty of get up and mileage on the road is between 21.5 and 22.5 mpg at 65 mph.
