2001 Buick Regal

Pros: Power, Luxury, and understated style! Excellent value in the 2001 to 2004 GS's!

Cons: Somewhat of an "old man" vibe to it. Get over it!

The Bottom Line: I love this car! An excellent blend of performance and luxury!

Review: When researching what I wanted for a new(er) vehicle I found that the 1997-2004 Buick Regal was considered a decent car for a decent value. I looked at many comparable vehicles from Nissan, BMW, Oldsmobile, etc. and really feel that the Regal GS is about ...

Pros: Price, Features

Cons: none

Review: Revised:
I just had the luxury of test-driving the most comfortable car I have ever driven, the 2001 Buick Regal LS. This car is absolutely the perfect family car.

The Regal LS comes standard with 4 wheel ABS and traction control,...

Pros: Loaded with standard features found in cars that cost $10,000 more.

Cons: Front Wheel Drive

The Bottom Line: Excellent quality and features in an automobile with a sticker price under $25,000--We got an excellent haggle free deal through our credit union.

Review: We purchased LS model 2 months ago and feel we made an excellent choice. We compared this car to the Lexus ES-300, and we feel that the Buick is an overall better value. This car came loaded with CD player and premium sound system, leather interior,...

Pros: Power, can be had in turbocharged version, Reliable

Cons: bad 80s GM styling, Guzzles gas

The Bottom Line: If you find an excellent condition Grand National or Turbo, it will provide great reliabilty and performance. Too bad Buicks nowadays are so sedate.

Review: 1984 Buick Regal with 4.1L V6 engine, rear-wheel drive, metallic light brown/gold color with cloth interior, 4-door sedan, paid ~$15,000 in 1984 (not adjusted for inflation): that was my car.

Pros: Quiet, smooth ride. Options to equal near luxury cars.

Cons: Price, dealer would not negotiate.

The Bottom Line: Nice car if you can afford it and don't mind the MPG.

Review: The cars we compared
When we decided to buy our new near luxury car (we could NOT afford a Lexus), we spent months checking out all the vehicles on our "wish list". We test drove all of them, checked them out on Consumer Reports, spoke to...

Pros: Power, price

Cons: Numb steering, flabby suspension, dated interior

The Bottom Line: Still a car for old folks.

Review: Back in the early ‘80s when every GM division was still allowed to try to be everything to everyone, Buick sold T-Type versions of many of its cars. In an attempt to appeal to young driving enthusiasts, these featured less chrome, charcoal interior and ...
