Dependability. Will go forever.

I love my Buick I have it for six years I had no problems with it rides nice and it is easy to fix it.

Regina W

I enjoy cruise control. Tilted steering. Leather interior. Power windows

I enjoy driving my Buick. It has been a very reliable and dependable car. I've had a few problems with things like window motors. Transmission. But nothing to major. It gets good gas mileage. I ve never been concerned about driving across state in it.

Reliability and Beauty What a car

The Buick Regal has been a very reliable car for me. I have not experienced any problems in the years I have owned this vehicle.

Charles H

Low miles in great condition for a 15 year old car.

Great low miles, comfortable, has met my needs, has held the color and condition very well. Very few dents or scratches. Clean, looks very nice. Has low miles for age. Has been serviced regularly at the dealership. Tires are like new, with less than 5000 miles in the past year. Has 92000 miles in the past 15 months. Well cared for. Kept in garage at home. Has all the bells and whistles for a regal ls model.

Sandra L

Roomy and comfortable. Velour seats that do not get hot like vinyl.

The Buick regal is a very comfortable roomy sedan with velour seats. The engine is very quiet and drives very smoothly. It has great gas mileage if maintained properly. I believe I get about 33 mpg in town and around 55+ mpg on highway. It is a very good reliable vehicle.

John H

Buick is a well built and durable car.

The age of my vehicle is starting to show. One problem I have is that there is an electrical issue around the transmission. Another issue has to do with the lack of interior lighting. But it's still reliable and gets great gas mileage to boot. The model I have has a very durable engine and it is just the right size for me. I am currently at around 200, 000 miles.

Negative Owner Reviews

Savannah M

Often has electrical issues.

Car has been in a crash. I often have problems getting the key out of the ignition and have to try many different thing to get it out. There is something wrong with the transmit ion and it often gets stuck in first gear while in drive. The muffler has broken due to rust from living in a state that used salt on the roads for 16+ years. The car has done a good job with everything it is been put through.

Brooklyn S

It is safe and reliable. Has never broken down on me.

My car has been very reliable from when I first got it. It's gotten me around safely everywhere I go. After 100, 000 things began to fall apart and I have been unhappy ever since.

Victoria E

2003 Buick regal ls. It is a great used car for $300.

Transmission slips, good gas mileage, old and used. Probably would have loved if I bought it new. It is been a good car, considering I bought it for only three hundred dollars. Motor mount loose and car shakes a lot! The headliner is falling, but it is had a lot of wear and tear.

Terri I

That it's mine, doesn't matter what it looks like or how old it us, it still runs

It has good gas mileage, its bit too big for me but my husband loves it

John P

Others should know that Buick is one of the oldest auto brands.

I like that it is reliable. I like that it is paid for. I like the sound system. I like that I find it stylish.

James P

Overall reliability and brand name is well known.

I like the leather seats, spacious trunk area, heating/air conditioning system, and power! I do not like the high mileage, CD/radio, and some minor electrical issues.

Terrain W

Best made, brand in the industry.

I like the brand, Buick. It is well made. The styles of Buick, really appeals to me.

Bethany B on March 8, 2021

My starter is going out and sometimes it doesn't let the key come out. Also all the tires on the front passenger side go flat

It is old and is starting to have issues. It needs an oil change so it's not running very good right now
