Used 2002 Buick Regal Consumer Reviews
A wolf in sheeps clothing.
One of the best 'bang for your buck' cars available today. If I was to be picky, all that is missing is a GPS system. For $25,000, the Regal GS is a great car. A terrific city and highway cruiser.
Great value for the money
Superb car! Tons of power, silky smooth ride, great looking. Very comfortable front seats; long drives are no problem. Even the fuel economy isn't bad - I've gotten as high as 31 MPG on the highway. FANTASTIC reliability. In 2 years and 40K miles, I've had these problems: the fog light switch was defective and the rearview mirror fell off the windshield on a very hot summer day (both fixed under warranty); at 36K miles the front rotors were slightly warped ($80 repair). That's it!
Bullet Proof
I bought a used '98 Regal GS two years ago. Since then, absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it . . . not one nickle spent on corrective maintenance. It's my stealth car: looks like a rental car on the outside with the torque-monster 3.8 SC engine inside. Handling is not sports-car-like but is perfectly adequate in the real urban/suburban world.
Best in it's class.
What a great car! It has it all, good looks,comfortable ride,classy leather interior,and every conceivable convenience feature.Try to find all this in a car that will carry 5 people and do 0 to 60 in 6 seconds! All this and not one problem to report.
Beware of car value after purchase
The car has very little back seat room. Also, if you are financing the purchase, you better buy Gap insurance as the trade-in & private party sale values drop like a stone as soon as you drive it off the lot.
