2000 Buick Regal GS review from North America
"Perfectly fits my needs at this time and provides great value for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replace loose tie rod end (whatever that is) I buy a car according to how much I like its dashboard. :-) Although a middle aged male, I'm technically challenged to identify stuff under the hood.
Replace "B/O temp actuator" (air conditioning problem).
Otherwise just tire replacement and normal maintenance items.
General comments?
Positive: Great comfort, acceleration, quiet ride. Leather seats are nice to have, but only thanks to heating. Good visibility. I like the illumination that turn signals activate, making it easier to see when crossing sidewalk into dark parking lots. Happy to have researched this car's great engine and transmission. Also like its security and insurance ratings.
Negative: Kind of boring style, reminding me of just another big car. Prefer the red/blue knob to adjust heat rather than number buttons to press. The foregoing are minor "complaints" to an otherwise excellent car.
