2004 Buick Regal Review

For 2004, the Regal gets only minor cosmetic changes. New wood trim is offered along with a new ETR audio system with speed-sensing volume, RDS and a CD player. The Leather package has been upgraded with dual-zone climate control and a split-folding rear seat. Carpeted floor mats that were standard equipment last year are now part of an options package that must be purchased at additional cost.

A competent sedan for the money, but in a category full of excellent competitors, the aging Regal fails to elicit much enthusiasm.
