I sold my Trans AM just in time for another Ohio winter and wanted something with good power, luxury options, and something that would get me through the snow safely. What better than a fully loaded supercharged V6 FWD vehicle? Fast forward just over five years and nearly 100,000 miles (putting it at around 160,000 miles total) I've found this car to be everything I could've hoped for and much more! Other than some minor electrical problems this car has been a dream mechanically. I dread my upcoming family vehicle purchase because this one really has spoiled me... but it's done so well we're keeping it as a daily driver to/from work, 200,000 miles here I come!
1998 Regal GS 3.8 Supercharged

Bought the car used with 12,000 mile bumber-to-bumper warrantee. Had to replace both front and rear brakes under warrantee. Drivers window switch touchy in humid weather. Cup holder very poorly placed and cheaply made. "Sport shift" option too easy to turn off by accident. Upside? Looks very sharp - tinting windows and adding vent covers helped. I surprise a lot of people with the 3.8 supercharged engine - very few 4 doors on the road are faster. I had a 91 Pontiac Bonneville (non-supercharged) before this and the difference is dramatic. Too bad (good thing?) it's electronically governed to 115 MPH.
Toe to Toe with Toyota

Original used Toyota as benchmark. Regal matched Toyota w/o paying the premium. Have owned GS and LS. (98&99) Love the supercharger but it has added to service costs. 2X CD failures in factory radio. Change oil every 3K and service transmission + filter change every 2 years and this car will get you down the road in comfort plus tight handling (GS). LS fast enough just have to stomp on gas to get the performance. Electric Windows are the biggest weakness. I just lost my GS to freakish but major engine fire. Something shorted at firewall after my daughter got home from church. Even with freakish engine fire will likely replace this with another Regal.
Good Value

This car is very responsive on the road and gets excellent mileage (3800 engine is an excellent engine). Lots of room inside (6'4" driver). Cup holder in terrible place. Door alignment is not good and small things have gone wrong. Latch on center consul, lock on power windows, small glove box, squeeks in door and dash. Overall a good performer with just those minor problems.

This Buick Regal GS has been an excellent car for me. It performs very nicely, has a great ride and has had no problems at all. It has only required oil changes and regular routine preventive maintenance. I would rate it a 10.
