1986 Buick Regal Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This was a great first car to own. As a kid I had the best car in the school lot. It was a beauty. Classic lines and sleek styling made this car slightly sexy. The downside to this coupe is the large steel doors would freeze in the winter, and the windows had no frames, so driving on the highway at speeds over 50 would result in the glass bending outward.

I know some ppl thinking I'm crazy bout this choice but this was to be my project car...nothing big like 26" rims or nothing just wanted to bring it back to original condition, maybe some exhaust pipe upgrade and possibly a new crate motor if I ever got that far. Anyway the car was dependable never left me stranded unless I ran out of gas. Previous owner garaged it a few years till he saw my trade offer for my Maxima that needed work. Drove the car to SC from NY that year with no issues, cruising at 80-85+ and it drives....well pretty much like a Buick. Suprisingly the car is very powerful...in a towing type of way. My friends car got stuck in College point and I pushed his Altima all the way to Ozone Park (about 10 miles) doing 40MPH never lost a breath LOLFeb 08, 2009

well, you either love these cars or you don't realize they exist. If you have the turbo V6, you are impressed by the performance, but it isn't a super car (in unmodified form), but I definitely enjoy driving it! Well, we are talking about a 20 year old car, there willl be issues one way or another, but all Buick owners agree that this car is best bang for the buck!Aug 08, 2008

A 3500 lb car is not supposed to smoke the tires at 30 mph with a 3.8l engine, but this one puts you back in the seat like the big blocks of 1970. Fantastic accleration from a dead stop although you usually had to backpedal to keep from lighting up the Goodyear Eagles. Plan your stops early because the disc/drum brakes and gobs of understeer remind you that this is a straight line hauler and not a sports car. 0-60 times with 4 adults were under 8 secs!.....and with T-roof or climate control A/C make the shortcomings well worth it.

Many Luxury Items were available and all of them work well. These cars are solid and can take whatever abuse is thrown at them. The performance is outstanding, the Buick Turbo 6 is a very well-engineered engine, very tuneable and it has lots of potential. The suspension setup is great having all the best of the G body parts plus quick ratio steering and some heavy dudty sway bars. Feb 19, 2008
