2004 Buick Rainier

Great vehicle

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 75,000

Pros: "Great standard features"

Cons: "Not produced anymore"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I wanted an upscale suv but didn't want to go with a crossover. My Buick has the 5.3l V8 and when you step on the petal it really moves. The best feature is the full time AWD, this beats the standard part-time system found in the Trailblazer and Envoy. Winters in Northwest PA are snowy and when you drive around a corner and hit a shady spot with ice on an otherwise dry road the AWD saves you from the ditch. I also appreciate the air ride suspension, very comfortable. It also keeps you level with a trailer attached, avoiding that saggy rear-end look."

Really Like this Car !

"This is one of the nicest cars i have ever owned. It is for sure a luxury SUV. It also has such a smooth and quiet ride. The interior seems so classy with the leather and wood combo with the chrome accents. The only 2 complaints I have is the gas mileage which is around 15 mpg. Also i noticed the door panels seem kind of cheap I had to pop mine back in after it came out a little bit. But other than that I would highly recommend this car."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 19,500

Pros: "The best"

Cons: "mileage"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This has been the perfect car for me.I have owned cars, suv's, vans and this by far is the best city and hiway vehicle I have owned.It is so smooth, quite and responsive. Mileage (V8) is the only negative. I have driven every suv on todays market and none can compare.Many of todays high cost suv's are truly junk. Most have the gas cap on the passenger side which just proves how abusive they are to the driver because of the safety,dangerous gas pump fil-up, don't consider handicap and just poor engineering."
