1990 Buick Regal Custom review from North America
"Great looking car with good performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At about 120000 miles my oxygen sensor stopped working which caused the car to stall for no apparent reason.
I had the alternator replaced for 2nd time in cars lifetime about 122000 miles.
The starter died at about 140000 miles.
Currently the car will not start when hot. You must wait for it to cool down to under 150 degrees before it will run.
My 6'8" husband is very uncomfortable driving the car!
General comments?
This car has great handling!
This car has great acceleration. I can beat most makes of cars off the stop line!
Perfect car for a new driver or even an experienced one with a family.
The exterior of the car is in great shape and it looks fabulous even after almost 13 years!
