  Buick Owner - 2002 Buick Regal
  By Donna Frankson - April 14 - 5:05 pm

  I have driven a 1998 Buick Regal LS for past 5 yrs. I just traded it in for the 2002 Buick Regal GS Sedan, with turbocharger. I am a hugh fan of muscle cars, meaning I like my cars to perform quickly and quietly. I have owned Chrys, Pont, and Olds. I have enjoyed driving all these cars. The 1998 was leaking oil (small amt.), but ran so good I did not want to get rid of it. I decided that updating to 2002 was a wise move. I tried a 2006 Chev. Impala, but liked the ride and performance of the Buick so much more. Having just purchased it 4-13-06 I have to drive it more and see if it compares as well as the l998, which was excellent. Only draw back is having to use 91 Octane.

  love a buick - 2002 Buick Regal
  By im a queen - August 23 - 2:00 am

  This car is the ultimate in road driving and great in the city. I love the clean lines,the interior is a dream - friends who own BMWs, Lexus, Bentley and cadillacs are surprised how this car is so "smooth" in its ride both inner city with holes and on the road. My auto is fully loaded withe heated leather seats, roof, automatic lights, etc. No one believes this car was less than $30,000. I wont make the mistake again by leaving buicks.

  Buick Regal - 2002 Buick Regal
  By twhited - April 8 - 2:00 am

  This is the first car Ive owned that wasnt a Toyota Camry. This car is BY FAR a better vehicle than the 1999 Camry I got rid of to buy this. I will NEVER go back to a Camry. This car is very comfortable, has power, mileage with this 6 cylinder is about the same as the Camrys 4 cylinder. You cant go wrong - Consumer Reports named this the most reliable car!!!!!

  A real sleeper for performance - 2002 Buick Regal
  By jimweis - March 17 - 2:00 am

  This is one hot car. The 240 hp supercharged engine make it a performance sleeper. I love blowing off 5 liter Camaros and Mustangs in acceleration and passing. It may look sedate but the performance is definitely your daddys Buick.

  Great value for the money - 2002 Buick Regal
  By RegalGS - March 4 - 2:00 am

  Superb car! Tons of power, silky smooth ride, great looking. Very comfortable front seats long drives are no problem. Even the fuel economy isnt bad - Ive gotten as high as 31 MPG on the highway. FANTASTIC reliability. In 2 years and 40K miles, Ive had these problems: the fog light switch was defective and the rearview mirror fell off the windshield on a very hot summer day (both fixed under warranty) at 36K miles the front rotors were slightly warped ($80 repair). Thats it!

  Regal GS - 2002 Buick Regal
  By j_mac - December 4 - 2:00 am

  In the five months since July 2003, I have driven this car on one 7,000 mile and one 2,000 mile trip in every conceivable mix of traffic, road surface and weather (including some high elevation snow). It handles very predictably under all conditions, has plenty of quickly available power to handle passing or mountain driving, and returns excellent gas mileage. On one occasion, I drove just under 1,000 miles in one day, with another driver relieving me for only about 100 miles. The car was comfortable and not tiring, even with the excess miles/day. Fuel economy hovers around 30 miles/gallon on highway trips.

  Buick LS V6 - 2002 Buick Regal
  By Yao Ming4545 - October 24 - 2:00 am

  With the Joseph Aboud package, the Regal LS V6 looks and feels like a Lexus ES, but costs about $7K less.

  Power - 2002 Buick Regal
  By Buick Driver - August 16 - 2:00 am

  A lot of people have said how much they love the power of this car. You can only appreciate it if you drive it for yourself. But first drive everything else in its class. You will be amazed by the power of the supercharged engine. The amazing thing is how smooth the car is. It is the perfect blend of power and smooth ride.

  Everything you read is true... - 2002 Buick Regal
  By alogo - July 17 - 2:00 am

  Strong, smoooth, fuel efficient engine. Comfortable interior, needs more lumbar. Lots of toys. Some quibbles: climate control less than intuitive, Smartstalk wiper and cruise combined, no mist function, small glovebox, backseat for kids only, glass in rear window optically "off", embedded antenna weak.
