1992 Buick Regal GS review from North America
"Good economical car, but expensive to upkeep"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blower motor died.
Engine Cradle Broke
Brake Pads Flew Out Of Calipers
Leaked Coolant
Doors didn't like to open
Alternator died
Battery Died.
General comments?
This car was, when I bought it, a good reliable car. My first problem was 3 months after I got it, my engine cradle snapped, leaving my engine sitting in the parking lot at work. It was leaking coolant before that, but got worse (understandably). My brake pads then flew out of my calipers while on the highway. In cold weather, the pull-down handles on my 2 door didn't want to open, it just wouldn't unlatch. My alternator died, and that caused a dead battery. At the end, my blower motor died and I bought a new car that has lower repairs than this car.
Good fast car, good acceleration, rides like a dream.
