This Year's Model Updates:

For 2002, the biggest news in the Regal lineup is the continuation of the upscale Joseph Abboud model along with a new Dark Bronze Mist exterior color. Additional wood grain trim will be added to all Regals later in the year and LATCH child seat attachment points are now standard.

Pros:
  • Powerful supercharged V6 in GS, spacious interior, clean styling.
Cons:
  • Dull image, dated interior design, low-quality leather.

  • Beware of car value after purchase - 2002 Buick Regal
    By -

    The car has very little back seat room. Also, if you are financing the purchase, you better buy Gap insurance as the trade-in & private party sale values drop like a stone as soon as you drive it off the lot.

    This was great find. For those of you who think that this is an old persons car think again. It has the comfort of a luxary vehicle but has the power of a sports car :-)

    After trading in our 1989 Buick Regal which gave us 13 great years, we had confidence that this new Buick would give us another 13 good years. They have really updated and improved on the 2002 Regal compared yo ours. They drive is nice Alot of power and handles well on the road. Love the radio (Monsoon) with the controls on the wheel. Dual air controls are also great! Great car to have.

  • Bullet Proof - 2002 Buick Regal

    I bought a used 98 Regal GS two years ago. Since then, absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it . . . not one nickle spent on corrective maintenance. Its my stealth car: looks like a rental car on the outside with the torque-monster 3.8 SC engine inside. Handling is not sports-car-like but is perfectly adequate in the real urban/suburban world.

  • 2002 Regal LS - 2002 Buick Regal
    By -

    Excellent torque from 3.8, transmission is better than Accord or Concorde/Intrepid. Doors tinny compared to Accord. Excellent pull from 1000 rpm on. This car needs serious help in the handling department due to poor standard tire selection and squishy struts. If Buick expects their demographics to change they need to develop leadership rather than wait for the earring crowd to buy these.

  • Suprisingly good! - 2002 Buick Regal
    By -

    The car is simple yet elegant. Its functional beyond most means and has styling that is conservative yet will remain fresh for years to come.

  • Buicks 2001 Grand National? - 2002 Buick Regal
    By -

    Well... not exactly... but this car is a sleeper. Just put your foot on the gas and your off to 60 in no time... BMWs need to watch out! I have the Abboud series... so the colors and signage on the car are a little fancy and unique. Very comfy... and... did I say fast? Love this car.
