1993 Buick Regal GS review from North America
"A modern day hot-rod family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front side signals don't work.
Remote locks and trunk lid don't work.
Apparently, both are expensive to fix.
General comments?
If you can put up with people thinking you are a senior citizen, good.
This buick is impressively powerful, very roomy, quiet and reliable.
They come very well equipped, leaving you wanting for nothing as far as options go. and the seating is great.
I'm 6' and my wife is 5', neither of us has any trouble positioning ourselves, and our daughter loves the huge backseat with its own armrest.
The GS suspension makes it feel like a smaller sports car, and although the brakes feel a little small, they do a very good job (most of us don't actually push our cars to their limits of performance that often to nitpick about things like that anyway).
This is my first buick, and first GM car, I'm sold on buicks, it's a great luxury tourer.
Need a family car on a budget, but don't want to give up your hot-rod?
This is a perfect compromise.
