I test drove this SUV and knew it was the one for me. It drives like a luxury car, handles the road well, very quiet and looks great.

Our Ranier

Just completed a 6,000 mile trip with this vehicle. My husband and I both remarked how easy the SUV was to drive. As though it just glided along the hiway. With the air supension in it no matter how we packed the stuff in it, it always evened itself out and was the most comfortable ride we have ever had. We traveled thru mountains, deserts, plains, large cities, small cities, 4 lanes, 2 lanes, and every type of road imaginable and the vehicle just seemed to adjust to the road and conditions by itself. My husband is 6 foot tall and this is the first vehicle that we have purchased that his head does not touch the top of the car and he has plenty of room for his legs also. We are happy with the Rainier.

Only One thing wrong

I had a Buick Rendevous for two years before this Rainer so I know my Buick SUV's. They are very reliable and unique SUVs. Why? They have fantastic rear space for carrying many different sized items. I have been in the higher end SUVs and they were not made to carry anything at all. I have really liked both of these Buick models and the only thing I would like to see is the front seat room of the Rendevous put in the Rainer. That is the only thing I would want changed. The ride is outstanding and winter driving almost fun. Don't hesitate to buy these two models, they are the best in the U.S. SUV lines....

This vehicle is quiet and smooth. The bose premium sound, multiple cd player and satellite reception are tremendous. My previous vehicle was a yukon which was great and trouble free but this Ranier is outstanding. The 6 cylinder engine is lively and it will jump when you need it.

The best truck noone ever heard of. Powerful V8, smooth ride, quiet and pure luxury. Everone that gets into this vehicle for the first time tells me what a nice truck this is and when I mention it's a Buick they are astounded.
