The interior is very nice and the seating is comfortable. It is a very quiet ride as well. There is a lot of power with the 4.2L V6. I would definitely recommend.

Our Buick Ranier has plenty of interior room, and has so far been very reliable. However, the interior build quality leaves alot to be desired! Everything from the door handles, and door power panel mouldings, to side door mouldings has fallen off and the seatbelts stick. The rear end makes an "undetermined" noise and it does not handle great if you have to do any sudden "avoidance manuevers" while driving. I drive mostly highway and have never seen anywhere near the supposed 21mpg mark. I average 17.2mpg in a 2WD. It should not be in the luxury class, as it is just another mediocre GM SUV. Admittedly disappointed. Can't wait til my lease is up! Terrible resale value. GM will never listen to what buyers really want...Thats why Toyota & Honda have really taken off. They listen to concerns and work with them to build vehicles people want.

It's been an ok vehicle, except for... - Window control panel shorted out and was smoking when it got a little rain on it and woke up to all windows down and no way to roll them back up - Load stabilizer pump just stopped working for a month, then started working again but was really slow. - Traction control doesn't like sharp right turns and engages and disengages repeatedly then gives an error that there is something wrong with the traction control for the rest of the drive then the next day no error.

No major problems up to 100,000 miles then replaced the computer & fuse box--now runs great! However, Love the Car. In fact this is the second Ranier I have owned ( a 2004), which still runs great at 220,000 miles, driven by my sister-in-law.

Great mid-sized SUV

Really like this vehicle. It's super quiet and smooth riding. Has a classy look to the exterior and the interior is quite comfortable. Absolutely no problems in a little over 33,000 miles. Gas mileage over the long run is 18.2 mpg in 95% city driving - very few freeway miles. Not bad for the size and comfort of this vehicle. Back seat passengers don't have much legroom, but it's not designed to be a full-size SUV. Cupholders are a little quirky, but only a minor concern.
