Back rests as bricks.

The back rests are HARD. A week after I bought it, my back started hurting something awful. Had to buy a car seat cushion AND a dining table chair cushion to use as a back rest. Trunk latch is flimsy.

Great vehicle

I have about 90,000 miles on this vehicle. It's been very reliable and with the 5.3 liter V8 it has plenty of performance. It's a shame they discontinued this body style. Just the right size to get around town and comfortable on long trips.

Dependable and Comfortable

I bought my Ranier used when it was 10 years old with 150k miles. In 4 years I have added another 100k miles. It still runs great. I've had no problems with engine, transmission, or drive train. Just the normal stuff that wears out on any older vehicle. It is still very comfortable and surprisingly quiet.

great car

I bought the car from a 2 year lease return and since the time I have owned it I couldn't ask for a better car---no major problems---looks good---handles great and has no problem keeping up with any kind of traffic city or highway driving

Good car.

It has been a good car. Wish I could afford a new Buick just like the Rainier. I would not hesitate to do it again. It is getting old with almost 200000 miles. That alone will tell you the value of the car. I have driven many miles going to College Station and Houston over the pass several years while my kid went to college and back to East Texas and it has never left me stranded.

2005 Buick Rainier

I love my car. It is 11 years old and it has served me well. It has many features, which are not on newer cars, and of course, it as become a friend to me. I would like to keep it for another 100,000 miles or more.
