Having driven Regal's for nearly seven years now (my first was a 1991 Regal GS) and my new 2001 Regal LS (California Edition), I think I am qualified to say that it is a reliable and good "bang for the buck" car. My last 91 Buick lasted for 250,000 miles with very little problems. The only major problems were the water pump and brakes, but after 250,000 miles, I think thats ok. On my 2001 Regal I have had zero problems for the 35,000 miles I have put on it (with regular maintenance). Not a head turner, but a reliable means of transportation.

Bought super clean,29k miles.Drives good. Comfortable to drive/ride. Tons of room. Great gas milage for a larger V6.I take very good care of my cars.For some reason I bought a $1500 warranty and have had over $5000 worth of work(parts and labor).Normally I do all my own wrenching. List of problems: Intake manifold(very common),5 rack & pinions(very common), catalytic converter, both front wheel bearings and control arm bushings, power steering pump, broken stabilizer links,valve cover gaskets and a few more to come.Still have a year left on the warr.I would think mine was a problem trade-in but my sisters 98 regal was just as bad,although my tranny has not crapped out yet
Great Body, Terrible Maintenance

So, I bought this car back in July and from the moment I drove it off the lot, I've had nothing but issues with it. The body of my car had 127,000 miles on it and the engine only had 55,000. Everything and anything went wrong. Any sensor you could think of, tire valves, coil packs, a wheel bearing that literally fell apart in my hand when I replaced it; recently had to replace the entire exhaust, catalytic converter, and more sensors. Radiator cracked and leaked into my engine causing it to cease. Started a small oil leak underneath the car a couple days ago and that's all it took for my car to officially trash itself. Whole front went up in smoke, engine overheated and cracked even thought I got an oil change. I always kept up with regular maintence and took good care of my car. Bought it for only $3,600 and put almost as much into it as I paid for it. Reliable in some aspects; just make sure you thoroughly look over this car before you buy it from anyone.
PCM Problems

In October of 1991 I had problems with the car motor engine quiting while in motion-- this required 2 separate tows to the dealer-=The problem was finally diagnosed as the PCM moduled was not communicating with other modules-- it was replaced and the problem resolved until 08/02-- the car is back at the dealer as on two occasions the car wouldn't start, turn the key no turn over no click nothing-- after about 40 attemps the car started. The dealer thinks it may be a PCM problem again.
Excellent value, reliability and fun.

This car offers more per dollar than anything in it's class. Pleasure to drive on short or long trips. Comfortable. Better reliability, power, accessories and style than the Toyota Camry in the family. Would not hesitate buying another.
