1989 Buick Regal Custom review from North America
"Great buy for the low dollar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket blew at 120,000 miles.
The transmission blew at 125,000 miles (due to rough driving).
Fuel injectors went at 122,00 miles.
Seats are wearing.
Stereo died, and interesting to replace.
General comments?
There is general wear and tear on the car, but otherwise it is a fine piece of automobile.
The gas mileage is miserable, getting about 12 mpg in the city, and 25 on the highway.
The interior is a very comfortable interior. The seats are perfect for long drives.
The engine makes more noise than speed, but that's really no big deal.
Very cool dash, it is electronic, and it looks really sweet at night.
If the gas mileage wasn't so bad, I would have another one of these cars.
