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.

  Exceptional Vehicle - 2003 Buick Regal
  By andyman32 - July 16 - 2:00 am

  The car had a few minor defects upon taking delivery, mostly cosmetic. It has been 100% reliable, has had absolutely no mechanical or electrical failures, and has a remarkably smooth ride while at the same time offering plenty of performance for being a fairly heavy car. The 3.8L V6 offers plenty of power to maneuver in traffic even at high speeds. I replaced a 1997 BMW 528i with this car, and in find the acceleration to be quite comparable. Contemporary styling of 1997+ Regals also make it attractive for younger buyers. I highly recommend this car as a refined alternative to the Mercury Sable or Cadillac CTS.

  Intrigue alternative - 2003 Buick Regal
  By formersuver1 - June 5 - 2:00 am

  Previous 2000 Intrigue owner, 3.5l engine--got "tricked" into test driving Regal LS w/ Leather and touring suspension package. Easily the equivalent of, if not better than the Intrigue in every aspect. I personally prefer the 3.8l engine over the DOHC 3.5l, because of vastly increased lower end torque. Tranny shifts a lot less in urban driving situations--i.e, accelerating off a ramp from 35-40 mph to 55-60 mph in a short acceleration lane. Plenty of oomph passing going from ca. 55 up to 75 to pass on two- lane roads. Fit and finish (of leather interior) absolutely flawless, as is exterior finish.

  Great value - 2003 Buick Regal
  By Bill T. - April 19 - 2:00 am

  This is a great value for a car that has so much to offer. A boulevard ride, great performance and brakes and an ergonomically correct instrument panel (everything is within easy reach).

  Abboud Regal Is A Great Buy - 2003 Buick Regal
  By 02Regal Owner - January 20 - 2:00 am

  I compared the Joseph Abboud Edition Regal to several imports that sell for thousands more. I am glad I saved the money. This is a great car.

  2002 Regal LS - 2003 Buick Regal
  By lamronh49 - January 13 - 2:00 am

  Bought this with 15K, traded Accord LX V6. This car needed tires badly, the 215.70.15 badly limit handling, wail like banshees. I replaced with Yoko Avid 235.60.15. Torque is great, far superior to Honda 3L, such instant grunt is appreciated. Transmission well mated to the excellent 3.8 torquemeister. #2 need is shocks, a Koni option would be nice. This car is handsome but invisible, std. ABS with 4wdisc excellent. Seats could be firmer, would like a 20 gal tank. Only problem has been with aftermarket struts.

  EXCELLENT MOTOR CAR - 2003 Buick Regal
  By dale muller - January 8 - 2:00 am

  The first buick i`ve bought in which I purchased (5) other cars in the past. This by far the best car I`ve ever owned the past cars were chev. I`m most satisfied with the Buick GS Regal 2002 .The only problem I`ve had was a rattle in the glove box. This problem was rectified in quick order by the dealership ,which is the best I`ve had experience with all the cars I purchased in the .
