Overview & Reviews

Many features that were on the standard equipment list for 2002 have been deemed optional, or deleted altogether, for the 2003 model. Deleted items are speed variable power-assisted steering, which is being downgraded to a nonspeed dependent system, and heated outside rearview mirrors. Side-impact airbags are now optional instead of standard (and continue to be available with leather seating surfaces only), as is a rear split-folding seat. Safety also comes with a separate price tag, as antilock brakes and traction control are now options on the lower Regal LS, but together with a tire inflation monitor, remain standard on the more upscale GS model.

On the upside, all Regals receive an improved starter for cold weather cranking, and a new impact-absorbent headliner, plus two new packages to help Regal buyers group options for a better price. The new Luxury Package includes dual-zone climate control, illuminated visor mirrors, auto-dimming inside and outside rearview mirrors, AM/FM stereo with both cassette and CD player and steering wheel-mounted audio controls. The simpler Leather and Wheel Package includes leather seats, a split-folding rear seat and 15-inch aluminum wheels.

• Powerful supercharged V6 in GS, spacious interior, clean styling.

• Dull image, dated interior design.

  03 REGAL LS ABBOUD - 2003 Buick Regal
  By joba244 - November 22 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car because we already had a 1996 gran sport that is a dream to drive especially for long trips, so i was kinda curious as to the new version. It is just right for power and comfort but there has been lots of added or improved features by the competition so it is feeling its age. Joseph Abboud spec has a sports set up I think, and it does not come close to the gran sport for ride comfort.Albeit a great family hauler.

  Great car! - 2003 Buick Regal
  By Tennessee Bulldog - October 31 - 6:43 pm

  I have had my Regal for over 4 years, and I love it. It has given me reliable service, and has had very few problems. I now have 140,000 miles on it, and it still looks and runs great. I highly rcommend this car.

  Ive always wanted one of these - 2003 Buick Regal
  By Poor Boy - March 2 - 10:17 am

  I liked the Regals when I was a kid and saw the mid-80s models and thought they were great then, and still do. I finally got my hands on this one, and though Ive only owned it for a few hundred miles, Im already in love. When you kick it, it moves. The ride is comfortable, but you can feel the road and remember that you are, in fact, driving. Buick has the greatest seats ever put into any car, bar none. Im a happy camper.

  Rattle trap - 2003 Buick Regal
  By jedibert - January 26 - 6:51 pm

  The most symphonic vehicle Ive ever owned. The nonstop creaks and squeaks are ridiculous. GM uses THE cheapest materials for their interiors. I should have waited for "quiet tuning".

  A real scorcher - 2003 Buick Regal
  By badge 13 - July 22 - 2:00 am

  A fun car to drive. Lots of power and handling is very good. First car Ive had that had absolutely no defects from the time I acquired it four months ago. With the Joseph Abood decor it could become a collectors item. From the outside it may be nondescript but it doesnt take a back seat to any six cylinder when it comes to power.

  Pleased with this Regal GS - 2003 Buick Regal
  By Regal GS owner - June 3 - 2:00 am

  I received a good deal on this car, and have been pleased with lively performance, good reliability at the end of 3 months of leasing (built in a modern plant in Ontario), and an all- around good drive. I feel well cared for in this car that has lots of features, and despite some initial skepticism, the On-Star system is useful. I have received superior dealership support.

  Mt 2002 Buick Regal LS - 2003 Buick Regal
  By cscasi - May 31 - 2:00 am

  Really a great vehicle except I have had continual problems with the air conditioning but the dealership states nothing is wrong even though my wifes Buick Century cooling air is about 20 degrees cooler coming form the air conditioning. Figure that. Still get some wind noise I think due to the outside mirrors. Overall, I am still a Buick man!!

  What are those folks at GM doing? - 2003 Buick Regal
  By In Pgh - April 25 - 2:00 am

  This is a dated car and doesnt compare well with the competition. Who is Earl Hartley, and who cares? However, "GM points," 0% financing and generous dealer discount ultimately made the Regal more attractive. Reliability was another consideration. In four years of driving a 99, I had no problems whatsoever. Only complaint was cheap Goodyear tires which lasted about 20k miles.
