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.

  I love this car. Been driving it for a year now. The passenger electric window motor went bad, but warranty replaced that. Its comfortable, looks good, gets 21mpg in city and about 26 on hwy. Comfortable, leather interior.

  Plain Ride - 2003 Buick Regal
  By Deb Smith - March 12 - 1:08 am

  I drove a Ford F150 for 10 years. Test drove several autos. Kept going back to this beautiful car. I like the plain look. Not a lot of extraneous gadgets and gizmos. Simply elegant beautiful. The front end picks up and the car literally RUNS. I try not to be smug as a bug! Oh, two speeding tickets = Buick Regal is much faster than Ford F150!

  Buick Regal GS 2003 - 2003 Buick Regal
  By micmo - January 18 - 2:00 am

  My fully loaded Regal GS Aboud compares quite favorably with enrty level BMW, Infiniti, Caddy, Lexus, and Toyota. I am very impressed with the aspirated engine and the tight handling. It compares well to my Mercedes in craftsmanship as well. Seating comfort is very good and the leather heated/adjustable seats are above average. The cabin quiet is greatly appreciated and the Monsoon stereo system is pleasing indeed. The year end pricing of this vehicle made the difference for me. The trunk could be shorter giving a bit more rear leg room to the passengers and the dash is too reflective on bright days.

  Buick Regal GS: A Dream Come True - 2003 Buick Regal
  By miltonfrty7 - December 17 - 2:00 am

  I have never owned a car that performs like my Regal GS. My Regal has 92,000 miles and runs beautifully. People to this day cannot believe that I drive a 1998 model because it looks so new. I have had the oil changed faithfully every 2 to 3 thousand miles. I make sure that every option is in good working order. I keep the car in mint condition because I love the car. It is beautiful, comfortable, reliable, and has every option available. The supercharger makes a huge difference in the engine performance which produces 240hp (the most powerful engine in its class). I love the car!

  Hard to beat! - 2003 Buick Regal
  By gliverson - September 1 - 2:00 am

  This car has just about everything a person could need: comfort, reasonable costs, low maint, good mileage, fun to drive. Not a hot rod, but it handles very well, and is zippy with the V-6.

  Regal review - 2003 Buick Regal
  By jerry - July 18 - 2:00 am

  A very safe and comfortable to drive. Appointments are easy to reach, find and view. Excellent comfort, handling, and just a pleasure to own as well as drive. Excellent construction, and performance. I compared our regal ls with volvo, saab, lincoln ls, bmx 3 series, and found our buick was a better value than those vehicle I listed. A remarkable vehicle.
