Overview & Reviews

New alloy wheels, a standard body-colored grille on the GS and two new colors, Gold Metallic and Sterling Silver debut. Inside, there's now a split-folding rear seat and an optional side airbag for the driver on leather-lined Regals.

• Powerful supercharged V6 in GS, comfortable front seats, uncluttered looks.

• Elderly image, uninspired interior design, leather has low-buck feel.

  Affordable Luxury - 2000 Buick Regal
  By Best Car Ever! - March 12 - 11:00 pm

  My Buick is 10 years old and I have never had a problem with it. I have done normal maintenance and it still looks new. The leather is in good shape, engine still powerful. I travel a lot and rent quite a few cars and my Regal is a lot more spacious and comfortable than cars much more expensive. I am a young guy, but I dont care if there is a stigma owning a Buick.... I will buy another!!

  229,000 miles and counting - 2000 Buick Regal
  By doulos - February 15 - 11:20 am

  Bought the car used in 9/02 with 45,145 miles. Now it has 229,200 miles. This is a very reliable car! It never broke down or left me stranded. There is one thing that you must fix if you buy one of these cars with the 3.8L, and that is the lower intake manifold and gasket. I had mine fixed at 94,000 miles and never any problems. The only other thing I changed out was the front and rear brake rotors due to warped rotors. Do the scheduled coolant and transmission flushes and it will serve you a long time. Then just change the oil, tires and brake pads as needed. The leather interior has held up well, no rattles and there is no visible exterior rust!! Thank you Buick for a great car!

  Regal is a great deal if well maintained - 2000 Buick Regal
  By Syd - November 23 - 5:59 am

  This is my second Buick with the push rod 3.8. Good power and decent fuel economy. Buicks always feel more substantial than most Chevys and Pontiacs. These cars are a good used buy if you can buy from a caring original owner.

  Love this car! - 2000 Buick Regal
  By K.L. - November 16 - 11:06 pm

  This car is great because of its quick acceleration, good size, and most importantly, its reliablity. The only problems Ive ever had are the windows - 3 of 4 of the windows have malfunctioned and would go down without rolling back up. My only other complaint is the mileage isnt great - average of city and highway driving would be about 20 mpg. But I have not had a single problem with the way it runs. I love this speedy grandma car and will miss it when its gone!

  Third and last Buick for me - 2000 Buick Regal
  By Regally disappointed - November 19 - 5:52 pm

  My 2000 GS Regal has cost me a lot of bucks. Most recently the drivers door window (power) went out and it cost me 550 dollars to have it fixed. The motor worked but the cable broke. On an earlier situation the front end drug with any dip and the result was a damaged oil pan. Little things like only partial LED digits on the radio and dashboard readout. According to the computer my mileage of 20.1 mpg in city driving is actually questionable as my computations never reached that high. I have a very light foot unless I find myself in a bind and need power to escape a challenge in traffic. No more Buicks for me. I have test drove many new models and they look good but experience rules.

  Fun to drive, drag to fix - 2000 Buick Regal
  By NL - October 3 - 9:06 pm

  I have owned my 2000 Buick GSE for two years now. I love the supercharged 3.8, powershift and traction control, leather seats and the sleeper look. The car has plenty of power when I want it and the traction control works better than I expected in upstate ny winters. The interior is well done, my favorites are the leather seats,the monsoon stereo, and very cold a/c. I recently turned 44k miles and have replaced front brakes due to frozen caliper, rear brake rotors due to warp, there is an exhaust leak at the flex and unbelievably all the wheels are so corroded that they leak air and the shop recomends replacing all for $800-$1000. The white paint is also failing and starting to peel.

  Nice Car but Typical GM Quality - 2000 Buick Regal
  By TechMom - September 20 - 6:44 pm

  This car has been solid so far in engine and tranny - its everything else thats the problem. However, to date it has needed over $4000 in extended warranty work. ABS, sunroof, fuel level sensor, climate display, front wheel bearing, tie rod, key assembly, window motors, etc. Were at 73K, and to be honest, Im frightened of the future. When this car starts costing me too much in repairs, Im buying a Honda, Weve always bought American (GM, specifically), but have come to the realization that they (GM)still dont know how to build true "quality" products. After all this time being trounced by Honda and Toyota, youd think they would have learned by now.

  typical GM quality - 2000 Buick Regal
  By jkornblum - January 7 - 2:00 am

  Exceleent drivetrain and fun to drive. However, be prepared for the poor build quality on the interior. The rattle in my dash board has been fixed twice and still rattles. With the drivers window half way down, you can hear a ticking against the glass. The dealers answer to this probem, "Thats just a characteristic of the car. Sorry, there is nothing we can do". Spend the extra couple of thousand and by the Acura, Honda, Lexus....you get the idea. I wish I had...

  2000 Regal GS - 2000 Buick Regal
  By ArthurT - December 23 - 2:00 am

  After 3 years, still an enjoyable car to own and drive. Supercharged engine was worth the extra $ for GS model. Interior is comfortable, if a bit uninspired. Monsoon stereo is a nice extra. Overall, a solid compromise providing sportiness in a practical sedan.

  2000 Regal @ 45000 miles - 2000 Buick Regal
  By Ken from Michigan - August 24 - 2:00 am

  This has been an excellent car, no problems. Still has original brakes & tires (Eagle LS) though both will be replaced soon. Complaints *Lack of Lubar support in front seats *ugly black trim on dash
