2001 Buick Regal LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

I have had a Buick Regal Ls for the past year almost. Since we have had the car, we have had to replace the driver side & passanger side window regulator. Not so bad, but then our throttle decided to mess up. We still have yet to fix it & I would love to have my car back. Anyone know what that could be? Won't go over 35mph right now because of the problem.
Love this car and would buy another one.

I am 76 and have had many cars; had a 1998 Lumina LTZ, put 158000 miles on and I thought was a pretty good car but this 2001 Regal LS up graded edition beats it by a long shot. I bought the Buick from a friend ( it was his wife's car ), she decided that she needed an SUV. This car has the Joseph Aboud package and looks a lot like the interior of a friends new BMW as for as color and trim, but I think that the interior in my Buick beats that of her BMW. I love the size of the car and weight, it is just right for me, I am 6/1. I am really pleased with the selection of the power seat, for better than the seat and selection that was on the LTZ, I never liked the seat in that car, it had leather but the seat was to low even on the highest setting. I think the Regal has more head room which gives an advantage for some one of 6`1". Another great thing about the Buick is that where i live in Central MS Buick's are pretty popular so parts are reasonable and plentiful. I had a 2000 Cougar SE which I really enjoyed but you can't find new head lights for them and even buying salvaged ones cost a lot. Ford should have never let the Cougar die along with the T Bird which I have also owned and enjoyed, The drivers seat of the Cougar I had sat and felt like the cockpit shall we say of that of the 1958 T Bird that my mother owned. I would buy another Buick Regal in a heart beat. I love the new Regal Sport back, The lift gate, as I call it, like I had on the Cougar and the Sport back on the new Regal spoiled me, especially with the back seats that lay down.! Yet I understand that this is the last year that Buick offers the Regal, I think another mistake. They wont to focus on SUV's. I say to Buick, the new Regal sport back is like an SUV and is a lot better looking, so keep it.!!! Rob Gray

My Regal LS has plenty of power combined with 30 mpg economy. The big trunk is endless with the fold-down back seats. I used it to haul lumber, but don't tell my wife.
Hope you like the great outdoors

I have had to replace all 4 window motors in the past 1 1/2 years for a grand total of over $1800. Was told by Buick mechanic in another state that they've had nothing but problems with the window motors in all Buick models. But according to Buick, they have no problems. It's normal wear and tear on a car that is 5 years old and has 68,000 miles. My mother's Chevy was stolen and wrecked and the driver's side door was smashed in, but amazingly the window still works! My car on the other hand sits in the parking lot and the unused window motor dies and the window falls down.

Well let me see(in November,2005) at 98000 miles I had to shell out $2000 for a new transmission. This is on a car that I have not driven hard, mostly highway miles. January 2006 I had to waste another $1000 to get the car inspected. Now, May 1st, my piece of ship buick is in the auto shop once again because it won't run. The real sad thing is I was trying to support the american car industry when I bought this car. I was looking at a Nissan Altima at the same time. I won't make that mistake again.
