1996 Buick Regal Custom review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Each year I have had a semi-major problem happen, but thankfully it has been covered by the warranty. Because of this I have taken out the extended warranty to see me through the next three years.
One of the problems was to due with the brake pulsation, there was also an upper intake manifold fracture, and just yesterday I had to have a gasket repaired, and a rear tailight lens replaced - it had water inside the light.
General comments?
Overall I do like the car, but I was told that you must have money if you buy a Buick, because when they need to be fixed they are pricey.
I probably won't buy another Buick, but I do like GM products and would consider purchasing something else from them.
