1993 Buick Regal Limited review from North America
"Horrible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All 4 struts.
Inner tie rod end.
Outer tie rod end.
Hood cable.
ABS.
Parking Brake.
Gas tank rotted even after being
undercoated yearly.
Rusting very badly.
Corroding interior.
Antenna keeps braking off.
Hard to start at 1C or colder.
Even with new struts water finds a way inside and freezes rendering them completely useless.
General comments?
This car handles like a yacht or the Titanic.
I fear replacing anything because everytime I fix one thing 10 more break.
I basically drive from one gas station to another filling up all the time.
Great power, but because of constant tie rod issues and balance problems putting my foot down results in spinning out of control.
This car was meant to be driven in a straight line then parked at a gas station with a mechanic on hand.
All those problems occured within a year of ownership.
I won't buy another.
