1993 Buick Regal Custom review from North America
"Best investment I have ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rotors wear out every 40,000 miles or so due to a manufacturing defect.
Air conditioning leaks.
Rear fiberglass spring and struts needed to be replaced around 150,000 miles.
Alternator replaced around 120,000 miles.
Factory stereo sounds awesome, but kept breaking. Needed to put in an aftermarket system.
General comments?
This car still performs like it did 200,000 miles ago, and ready to go another 100,000.
Really fast car with awesome acceleration.
Never had any engine or transmission problems, only the suspension has gone bad.
The car handles very well on snow and ice.
Only complaint is the defective A/C.
