    Having owned the car for sometime now, I have grown to really enjoy driving it. The supercharger makes the car.

  • Another Regal Please! - 2001 Buick Regal
    By -

    This is a great car. 200hp gives respectable acceleration for a four- door sedan. Rental car companies consider it a full-size and manufacturers call it a mid-size. I especially appreciate the 35 to 36 mpg on the highway, excellent styling, comfortable and reliability. I drive this car from Washington State to Nevada and back about once a month from March through October. When its time for a new one, Ill get a Regal again - maybe the supercharged one! Sure, you can get more in a car - but NOT for this price! This is the right balance of price/performance.

    If you are looking for a comfortable sedan that is fun to drive and pleasant to live with, then the Regal GS is all that. The car handles like a racecar in comfort and style. There is no need for anymore power than the supercharged 3.8 provides and it is alot of fun.

  • Love the regal - 2001 Buick Regal

    I got my Regal after driving SUVs for the previous 5years. The ride is fairly refined and handling is excellent. My only criticism of this car is the limited leg room for passengers in the back seat. I have about 28000 miles on it and have had no mechanical problems what so ever. I feel it is a little underpowered but this is only evident when climbing in significant hilly terrain. Really sorry Buick has discontinued this model in their lineup.

  • Excellent value, reliability and fun. - 2001 Buick Regal

    This car offers more per dollar than anything in its class. Pleasure to drive on short or long trips. Comfortable. Better reliability, power, accessories and style than the Toyota Camry in the family. Would not hesitate buying another.

  • Oops, We spilled it again! - 2001 Buick Regal
    By -

    This is a fun car to drive. If you use it as a family car, the back seat is cramped. Also, the center console is engineered poorly. As a result in our Regal, a soda spilt onto the console shorting out the entire electrical system of the car. The car would start w/o keys in the ignition, windows would operate w/o touching the controls, radio and dome lights would not turn off thus depleteing the charge on the battery. We were told that the 8 days worth of labor WOULD NOT be covered under GMs bumper to bumper warranty. Only time will tell if Buick sold us a lemon.

  • PCM Problems - 2001 Buick Regal
    By -

    In October of 1991 I had problems with the car motor engine quiting while in motion-- this required 2 separate tows to the dealer-=The problem was finally diagnosed as the PCM moduled was not communicating with other modules-- it was replaced and the problem resolved until 08/02-- the car is back at the dealer as on two occasions the car wouldnt start, turn the key no turn over no click nothing-- after about 40 attemps the car started. The dealer thinks it may be a PCM problem again.

  • I like my Regal - 2001 Buick Regal
    By -

    I bought my Regal in May 2001. It had 25000 on it when i bought it, and I have put another 20000 on it since. I feel I paid top dollar for it, and the tires could have been better, lots of tire noise from them on the highway. But the Regal is a good car. I drive 25 miles each way for work and live in Maine. The Maine winters are cold and can be snowy. The Regal did well in the snow and started easily even on the coldest mornings. Nice car, Id buy it again!

  • 2001 LS Loaded with Options - 2001 Buick Regal

    While no vehicle can be everything to everybody, the Regal is one of the best deals going. More standard features than any of the foreign sedans for thousands less plus you get a solid car.
