1983 Buick Regal Estate Wagon review from North America
"This is the car that Thelma and Louise should have driven off the cliff!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine overheated.
Replaced all the transmission seals once and one blew a leak one month later.
Leaked oil badly.
Rods knocked terribly inside the engine.
Very poor gas mileage.
General comments?
Having experience with this car and seeing other friends and family members' problems with some GM vehicles, I won't own GM anymore.
