Used 1999 Buick Regal GS 4dr Sedan Consumer Reviews
OH MY GOD!!!!!!
My parents bought this car 2 wks before I got married, but I have had to borrow it for about a month and all I can say is WOW!!! The Superchrgd engine is UNBELIEVABLE! Sometimes, it almost scares me, it's that fast. The previous report were right, though. The horn is hard to hit and find in an emergency, and the cupholders are in a REALLY STUPID spot!! And get rid of the Goodyears, they suck! Other than that, a great car!
Good car
Regal GS has great acceleration. Front seat could use better back support - I use a cheap back support cushion I purchased for about $20. Horn is small, difficult to hit - and stupidly designed - definitely not a safety feature. Engine seems to be gradually getting louder as car ages. Extremely comfortable car for long drives (with addition of cheap back support cushion). We love the car - good value for the money & super great Monsoon radio.
Dependable as they get
It's not the most stylish car on the planet, but I knew that going in. I bought a GS after much research led me to believe this was a very dependable car (although I found claims about the motor a bit of a stretch.) To be short - they weren't. I befriended several young buick enthusiasts on the web over the next year who helped me modify the motor in several ways... eventually boosting the output to 280hp and almost 325 ft-lbs of torque. Most of those kids take theirs to tracks on the weekends - I just like to surprise people in sports cars. I love this car. I bought it at 34k miles for $12K. Now at 126k and it runs like new (very fast too!)
The Best car out there!!
IT COMES WITH A SWEET STERO AND THE ENGINE IS THE BEST AND I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT.
Well Built, Understated Bullet
My'99 Buick Regal GS has been spectacular. Until 2003 it was the fastest sedan built in North America, and no one knew - a true sleeper. Fabulous seats for big guys, with enough legroom and headroom for Full-Size Americans even with a sunroof. Lots of glass and an open cockpit. This car has the best ride- handling balance of any in America when driven at 6/10ths - it's a beautiful combination of supple and firm. Monsoon stereo is fantastic. Huge trunk swallows 4 golf bags. Flowing exterior lines look great, distinctive. Its been rock-solid reliable so far. The only real minus has been poor gas mileage but I am guilty of leadfooted pleasures.
