Used 2002 Buick Regal LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Regal LS Review
Wellmade, responsive engine, great driving comfort, finish superb, can't find fault for a vehicle in this price class, a best buy.
Pontiac engine... not much though.
Our grandmother gave us this car because our 94 Plymouth Voyager finally gave out. She only drove it to the country club and the store. They took a Honda CRV for road trips. Now my family travels alot. So we took it down to florida and the car couldn't get over 55MPG comming back. O2 Sensor or MAF sensor would go out alot so that would stand us at a intersection. It has a basic looking exterior and interior. Has Monsoon Speakers in the car so they have some good sound. Handlebars and cup holers are really cheep so they break easily. Taillight replacement is a pain in the but trying to replace the four trunk ones. The Dashboard killed it's self and that had to be replaced. (I think 2000 to rebuild or replace) I wouldn't buy this car if a person does not want to pay money to replace a lot of things. (Many more issues I cannot remember) No bluetoth or MP3/Aux Input. It's getting traded in today.

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.

Just purchased a 2002 LS with 76K. From the initial drive I automatically fell in love with the car. All the positive comments has made me feel even better about my purchase today.......
Engine Not Reliable
Good car but stiff steering. Engine died after 50,000 miles and despite good maintenance. Mechanic says a very classic problem with the Buick and Pontiac with 3.8 engine. OK if use best synthetic oil (Mobil One) every 2000 miles.
