This car's performance has been strong and repair history has been light, equal to my previous Hondas. I'm very satisfied and will keep it.

I just bought the 8 cylinder Rainier with satellite radio, navigation system, and sun roof. The 5.7 engine has plenty of pick up, more than most people will need. The handling and quiet ride is better than any suv I have driven. My other choice was the Cadillac SRX. It is less money, quieter, and I could not even get 2 sets of golf clubs in the SRX. There is no comparison in value and ride. Buy the Rainier.

I've had this car for a month now, and i still have yet to see another Rainier on the road. I dont get it! I thought i saw one parked, but when i went up to it, it was a Bravada. Are people not interested in having a great vehicle? It might be a bit overpriced, but its still an awesome SUV! I was deciding between the Rainier and the Volvo xc90, and for the price, the Rainier is definitely the better bang for the buck!

The Best Buick Yet

This car/SUV should really give the imports a run for their money. We looked at a LexusRX330 and a Toyota Highlander aling with the Buick Rainier. The overall refinement including its off-road manners really convinced us to buy the Buick. General Motors is getting it right with a lot of neat, high quality products. Watch out Lexus and Toyota!

I have the 8 cylinder. My previous car was a luxury European model, and I don't 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.
