Smokin' Sleeper
Bought in 2002 used with 49k miles, trading it in now 05/2005 with 109k miles. Very fast car, you'd never expect it and it always shocked everyone. I can be rolling 10mph, punch it and still smoke the tires. Sorry to see Buick stoped making the GS. Engine is great, no problems, oil still clear after 6,000 miles. Big drawback is fuel economy which totally stinks in city driving. But car has lots of gadgets, very comfortable, a hot rod and a luxury car combined. Monsoon stereo system is awesome.
WHY BUY AN IMPORT, BUY A REGAL
COMPARED CAMRY, AND ACCORD. REGAL OFFERED MUCH MORE CAR, FOR A LOT LESS MONEY, AND DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH AN ARROGANT HONDA DEALER. AFTER 50,000 MILES, CAR HAS BEEN GREAT, ESPECIALLY ON LONG (12HRS) TRIPS. VERY COMFORTABLE. CHANGED FROM GOODYEAR EAGLE (RIDE IS HARSHER AND NOISY) TO MICHELIN X, AND NOW IT'S LIKE A LEXUS, BUT FOR $15,000 LESS CAN'T GO WRONG. BY THE WAY, THE REGAL HAS 'GRAN TOURING' SUSPENSION, MAKING IT AGILE: DEFINITELY NOT A LAND BOAT, YET STILL COMFORTABLE RIDE. IF YOU'RE INTO MUSIC, GET THE 'MONSOON' SOUND SYSTEM. AWESOME. BETTER SOUND IN THE CAR THAN MANY PEOPLE'S HOME STEREOS.
1999 Regal
I had my Regal for five years. One of the best cars I have ever owned. Very comfortable and very reliabale. It is a gas and go. However, I do perventive maintenance on the car. Changing oil every 3000 miles etc. I love all the features. The interior still looks new. I will buy another Regal. I can't say enough about the car. I love it! The car still runs great!
My First Car
I bought my 99 Regal as my first car. It has overall been a good car. The only complaints I have had are the low fuel economy (I expected much higher), and the unexpected failure of the transmission at 120k miles. My suggestion, which my friends tell me is good on any car, would be not to buy one with over 100k miles, or just get ready for problems.
Great Car
We have had our Regal for 10 years and it just rolled over 200,000. We have driven it on many driving vacations and got as good as 29 mpg on those trips. This is our 2nd Regal. The first one we had for about 8 years and it had about 250,000 miles on it. Very good product! I'm just sorry that they don't make the Regal anymore. I see that it is a big seller in China or Japan though so maybe it will make it's way back to the US one day. The problems we have had are minimal, nothing to do with the operation of the vehicle.
