1980 Buick Regal 2D coupe review from North America
"Looks can deceive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to change air filter a couple times.
Car overheats within 30 minutes of driving.
Has a very rough idle.
Tires had to be changed.
Air doesn't work.
Knocking in engine.
The last time I drove the car, it was shaking and killing on me, so I got fed up, and walked home.
General comments?
This car seemed appealing to me, it has a sharp muscle car look, but looks deceive, as it had too many problems for me (a teenage guy) to attend to, and I don't have enough money to deal with it.
When I first bought it from the guy, it handled nice, and had very nice power steering, lots of power, but seemed like it was being held back.
