Comfiest car you will ever find!
I absolutely adore my Buick. I bought it used, but in nearly perfect condition. Plenty of space in the trunk for traveling at Christmas or taking my large dog to the vet. The seats are firm yet comfortable (the seat warmers are definitely a plus!) And easy to adjust. The car sits high enough that you can see around you without being obstructed, but low enough you don't tower over the road. It drives very smoothly, you rarely feel a bump.

That it is a really nice car and people should love their cars
It seems it's too low t9 the ground and it's a really nice car and I love it

It has a sunroof, and automatic seats with seat warmer.
All around my car is a very good car, that has been some small issues with. Some issues that I have experienced with it, are my automatic seats have stopped working on both the driver and passenger side. Also on my passenger side the door handle and the back seat on that side handle has also stopped working. Other than that I really like my Buick, it rides very smooth, and I do not feel crowded in it at all. It does not get the best gas mileage but it not as bad as you would think. I think it gets about 22. I think it is a great car, and I plan on keeping it until it does not run anymore.:).

Spacious 4 door midsize SUV.
It is nice midsize SUV with lots of room for your passengers and a spacious back to load groceries or whatever. The back seats fold down for extra room. Easy to get the kids in and out of the car. Leather seats have seat warmers which is nice in the winter.

Reliable and affordability.
Reliable enough comfortable enough. Bought it used for a good price. I have put a lot of miles on it since I have owned it though and that has put some undue stress on parts but nothing that keeping up with maintenance like oil changes won't stop. I do not regret purchasing it in any way.

Never purchase a vehicle with an air bag suspension system.
I like that it runs reasonably well. I don't like that things keep messing up on it. The air bags that pump up the suspension stopped inflating so that whole system had to be replaced. The radio goes in and out. One of the door handles broke.

It has a lot of complications that keep coming up.
It takes to much gas and has to many problems. Also the interior is all white. Other than that it is not a bad car to have.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Martha J.

I had to replace the alternator, but have had no other issues. The car is roomy and comfortable, and I love the theater seats. Decent mileage - 20 mph. Back seats can be collapsed to have enough room for many items in the back.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Martha J.

The SUV is roomy with comfortable seats. I have had no major problems with the car since I bought it used in 2010 or before. I have 186,000 miles on it. The heater seats are a plus. I get good mileage for an SUV - 20 mpg.

How Reliable Is The 2007 Buick Rainier?

Yes it has some problems. The handles on the passenger side are broken, and on the same side in the back as well. The seat switches have also stopped working.

Is The 2007 Buick Rainier A Good Value?

We purchased mine two year ago for 7,000. We thought that it was a good price. We thought it was well worth it at the time. But now it has over 200,000 miles on it. So it definitely went down in... Read More
