1996 Buick Regal LE review from North America
"A great compromise between a sports car and a sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a coil burn up, so for a month I was driving on 4 cylinders. I also had to purchase a new lead wire for the alternator, my check coolant light is still faulty, and the security system won't let me in the car if any thing is faulty with the car's electronics.
General comments?
The car is seriously fast for a "Granny car" I raced my friends Camero and killed him, yet it still gets about 350 miles to a full tank. Also the trunk is huge. It also handles like a sports car around sharp curves.
