ProsPower, agility, looks, dependable and safety ConsShould use 91 plus octane but can use less but the PCM will adjust to reduce knock retard or pinging and you will lose power and possibly fouled fuel injectors if not maintained properly 
Not Active
The Best 90's Era Gm Sedan — This is a very dependable car and safe as long as you understand how to drive a supercharged front wheel drive car. This car is extremely responsive and is forgiving to a point. If you have ever driven a sports car and you understand how quick a response you get with the steering then you will do fine in this car. Do not buy this car from a young man, unless you know your cars. It will have more than likely been beat to death, drag racing and probably poorly modified as most kids don't know what they are doing. Look for any Buick that has been owned by an older person and you are buying a well maintained car and that's where I buy all my cars, from the elderly who just can't drive anymore and I make it a practice to always pay them more than what either they are asking or what the blue book says, know matter what. And why you might ask? For a couple of reasons. One being, most of the time they under price their car not realizing that all those timely maintenance calls in my opinion add to the value and I know that they are giving up their freedom because of their age and that's a hard thing to do as I have an elderly mother who can't drive anymore or very little that owns a 2001 Century with 12,000 miles on it. So, I keep it well maintained even though it's not driven much. Look around next time your out and about and look at the Buick's going by. All older folks, could they all be wrong? Nope, they do their home work. And so do I. P.S. This car is not for SALE! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

My Sweet Car — I don't like how my cup holders are broken.And the super charger is almost shot. It only takes premium gas, which sucks and I just had to change the belts and that wasn't cheap. But it's better than that stupid cavalier.... Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

98 Regal — The best car I ever owned. You just can't beat the intoxicating whine of the M90 supercharger when you open up the throttle. Then quiet and comfortable for those long open road trips. Hope to have another one someday even though they are getting older and harder to find in good shape. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Brentton's 1998 Buick Regal Ls — I drive a 1998 Buick Regal LS. My family acquired it from a family memeber, then it was pasted on to me when I left for college. The car is from Ohio, so being in Virginia, they noticed a lot of rust on the underside do to the salt and from it being parked in grass for many years. I wish the car had the available turbo for that year, but it doesn't. The car does pick up well, and a 45/55 to 60/70 mph pass can be done in about 10 seconds, depending on how close to the car you are and how much of a run you have. When cutting the line on on and off ramps, the car stays stable. Sometimes it feels like there is some over steer in it, and it gets touchy at high speeds, but that is to be expected. It stops when needed, and can stop on a dime when really needed. I don't think there is anti lock on it (sad i don't know) but I have had to screeched to a hualt, literally to avoid going through a red light, and it was all locked up. The car has some difficult blind spots, that you really have to adjust the mirrors to see. It has a pretty high back end, but at the same time, it is short, so you can bet pretty close to things backing up, and as long as you're careful, you won't hit it. The car shifts pretty well, although, after punching the throttle for a day, it does not like to shift into 5th to sit at about 1600 rpms at 55mph. It would rather stay in fourth at about 2000 rpms at 55, in case you want to punch it for a pass or something. The car is now 11 years old and it does not have any squeaks, rattles, clanks, or any other odd noises. Nothing is broke due to wear and tear. Everything that is dinged or slightly broke, has been due to me miss judging turns. The car is a solid car and has stood well in Virginia traffic. Even with rust from Ohio, it has now become accoustomed to the warm Virginia weather. The cars apperance is not ravishing, but it does have class. The lines of the car are straight on the sides and curved in the front and back, giving it a look of retro sportiness. It is a grandma's performance car, or was. It does have a sportier look than the Century, but it is more of an innocent aggressiveness. It is a big car, and the belt line is slightly high, making the car look thicker. The greenhouse is slightly cramped. Being 6'4", my head hits the roof with me seat all the way upright. The leg room in the back is not very sufficient for a person my height either. The problem there I think lies in the fact at how thick the driver and passenger seats are. About six inches at the base. The controls of the car are easy to manage and it has a great stock stereo. The antenna reception is not that great, but, the CD quality makes up for it. The only option I don't like on the car is the fact that you cannot turn the lights completely off. The cost of ownership is not that bad. The routine oil change, and occasional tire, I have not had any major things to pay for on it. The car tells me it gets around 21 or so miles to the gallon. I have not kept my gas mileage lately, but that would make sense. I think the car is fun to drive. What I always have to think is that back when this car was new, this car was tight! Now, it is just another daily driver like many cars on the road, but that's what they are built for. I feel pretty classy as a college kid to be driving it. I feel that right now, it fits my style. I like my Buick Regal! I would recommend it to friends, although, many of the people I know already have cars, that are nicer and newer. |
