Overview & Reviews
Performance-oriented changes, such as more power, sporty tweaks to the steering and suspension, firmer motor mounts and the addition of a strut tower brace underhood, lead the news for the '99 Regal. Other changes include enhancements to the ABS and traction control systems, as well as the addition of a tire inflation monitor, perimeter lighting and the Concert Sound II audio system to Regal's already long list of standard equipment. New options include a self-dimming electrochromic outside rearview mirror, redesigned 15-inch alloy wheels and the eight-speaker, 220-watt Monsoon audio system. And that's all in addition to a new exterior paint color, Auburn Nightmist.
- Powerful supercharged engine, comfortable front seats, uncluttered looks.
- Cheap leather, no folding rear seat, uninspired interior design.

No Hassle Car - 1999 Buick Regal
By Maggie - December 30 - 7:54 pmI have owned this car six years. It has been a pleasure. It has plenty of power for highway driving. Merging onto freeways is never a problem. It rides well and gets great mileage on the freeway (30mpg - really). Mileage around town is 20-22mpg. Not bad for a nice size car.

Reliable, Strong and Fast Car - 1999 Buick Regal
By Johnny T. - October 4 - 2:00 amThe vehicle is very reliable and has a strong engine. Its ride is comfortable and controlled however it is not a sports car and should not be expected to handle like a Porche or a Corvette. Make sure you have the fire hazzard GM recall #99033 work done on your car to prevent a short that can melt a plastic fuel hose and cause and underhood fire. The Dealer will do this and all recalls free. There are two other recalls relating to the headlamps GM recall #99093 and a new recall that came out 9/04 GM recall #04052 all of the work is free just go to the Buick dealer with these recall numbers and make an appointment. They may have to order the parts but its free and important to these recalls.

Want to race - 1999 Buick Regal
By raptor - July 5 - 2:00 amRegal GSE has been very reliable, Buick hits the mark and sets the GM standard.Has great speed and really wants to go!!The sunroof and Monsoon stereo make it a joy in the summer. Nice even lines and sporty appearance.The handling?Well,lets say Buick should visit the upgrade parts store or GM performance bin. Goodyear tires are mismatched, upgrade ASAP. Seats are unsupportive with aggressive driving and long road trips.Shifter in way of storage.Back seat a little cramped.

Buick Regal Review - 1999 Buick Regal
By mushhead - May 13 - 2:00 amAfter owning a Nissan Altima for 4 years I decided I wanted something a little bigger...with a more powerful engine. I also wanted more of a luxury car feel with a sharp look to it. The 1999 Buick Regal fit the bill. It is a reliable car that I was able to buy at a very good price due to high depreciation. Bad for those who bought new...good for the rest of us.

Well Built, Understated Bullet - 1999 Buick Regal
By Dozer - April 19 - 2:00 amMy99 Buick Regal GS has been spectacular. Until 2003 it was the fastest sedan built in North America, and no one knew - a true sleeper. Fabulous seats for big guys, with enough legroom and headroom for Full-Size Americans even with a sunroof. Lots of glass and an open cockpit. This car has the best ride- handling balance of any in America when driven at 6/10ths - its a beautiful combination of supple and firm. Monsoon stereo is fantastic. Huge trunk swallows 4 golf bags. Flowing exterior lines look great, distinctive. Its been rock-solid reliable so far. The only real minus has been poor gas mileage but I am guilty of leadfooted pleasures.

1999 Buick Regal - 1999 Buick Regal
By JPOC - March 23 - 2:00 amThis is a fairly comfortable auto which rendered decent service and reasonable mileage, nothing outstanding or notable either positive or negative. My main problems were with trim and interior parts. The glove compartment door w/little use just fell off, The drivers door continualy got out of line and had to be realigned. The electrical system occasionally misfunctioned, ie: headlights just went off for 5-10 seconds and then came back on, drivers window occasionally went down when one started the car??? No one could find reason as it was intermittant and would work when technician looked at it. Overall good car w/annoying little problems.

GS is OK - 1999 Buick Regal
By Randles - August 2 - 2:00 amJust turned 50 bought the car in 2000 for performance, assumed it was sleeper and it is! Not much under $30K can touch the performance of the GS and gas mileage is acceptable.

WHY BUY AN IMPORT, BUY A REGAL - 1999 Buick Regal
By KOZLOF - May 20 - 2:00 amCOMPARED CAMRY, AND ACCORD. REGAL OFFERED MUCH MORE CAR, FOR A LOT LESS MONEY, AND DIDNT HAVE TO DEAL WITH AN ARROGANT HONDA DEALER. AFTER 50,000 MILES, CAR HAS BEEN GREAT, ESPECIALLY ON LONG (12HRS) TRIPS. VERY COMFORTABLE. CHANGED FROM GOODYEAR EAGLE (RIDE IS HARSHER AND NOISY) TO MICHELIN X, AND NOW ITS LIKE A LEXUS, BUT FOR $15,000 LESS CANT GO WRONG. BY THE WAY, THE REGAL HAS GRAN TOURING SUSPENSION, MAKING IT AGILE: DEFINITELY NOT A LAND BOAT, YET STILL COMFORTABLE RIDE. IF YOURE INTO MUSIC, GET THE MONSOON SOUND SYSTEM. AWESOME. BETTER SOUND IN THE CAR THAN MANY PEOPLES HOME STEREOS.
