1991 Buick Regal GS review from North America
"A tank that can move when you need it to"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The on board computer went bad a few weeks after the purchase of the car in 2001.
Had to replace the radiator as a result of one of the two fans making a hole in it due to one of the plastic mounts breaking.
General comments?
While it might look like the car your grand mother drives under its exterior is a monster. Its 3.8L v6 puts out more than enough power to make all, but the most picky happy.
While handing is not as good as I would like I have found that the tires on the car make or break it during inclement weather. The original tires that were put on when I purchased the car in 2001 were complete crap and I finally had them replaced. I now have Kelly tires on it and have found handling to be improved not only in rain, but in regular driving.
During my year of driving the Regal Grand Sport I have also have the misfortune of getting into two accidents with this car. Simply put this car is a rock and it will be the other car that has the majority of the damage.
Reading the other comments on this page I have gotten the impression that the brakes could have been better designed. While the car does not stop on a dime I have found the braking system to be adequate and have had no major problems other than the need to replace the front brakes.
