2001 Buick Regal consumer reviews

My Grandma bought this car new and gave it to me 2 years ago when I got my license. It has 140k miles on it but drives like its brand new! It is super comfortable and feels amazing while driving! The only problem I had was the back driver side window broke and I had to tape it to keep it from falling but I got it fixed and now its like new!

I bought my 2001Buick Regal in 2010. It had been garage kept and well maintained. The only thing I've done to it is replace the water pump. I have maintained it and had it serviced regularly. I would take this car anywhere. Its safe, and very dependable. It has a roomy trunk and rides so smooth. I have had this Buick for 10 years and have had many offers to buy it. I wouldn't sell it for anything. The paint on it is excellent and I live in Ga.where the sun can do some damage. Take care of your car and it will take care of you.

But I have had problems with the wiring shorting out. So had no tail lights and dash light. BACK WINDOWS BOTH MOTORS QUIT WORKING SO HAVE TO HOLD THEM UP WITH JAMMING CARD BOARD OR SOMETHING IN THEM OR THEY FALL. I have had to replace the exhaust due to the catylac converter completely plugging up, I have to replace the EGR Valve, the Radiator has been running hot so I flushed it out as directed by dealers ship twice now and now it is loosing water someone where replaced thermo stat, just replaced the front wheel hub and front brakes rotor and CV boot. It throws 11 codes mostly the speed sensors in front along with data not being avail in DTC DATA FILE ON THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. A NEW ONE CAME UP SAYING THERE WAS A SHORT SOME WHERE ALSO BOTH SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON and THE TRAC. CONTROL. LIGHT IS ON ALL OF WHICH HAVE BEEN RESET AND THEY STILL COME ON.

AFTER TRACKING DOWN THE SHORT IN THE TRUNK MY.TAIL LIGHTS WORK FIXED MOST OF THE ISSUE WAS RUNNING GOOD CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS STILL ON BUT SEEMS TO BE OK.

I love the Buick Regal. It looks like a slow, granny car but it has some serious power. Very luxurious, comfortable, and a wonderful ride. Just an all around unbeatable car.

The car has only had two owners. It is an executive model with electric seats, windows, etc. The sound system is great. The car has been very reliable and dependable. The interior of the car is about as good as new. The back seat folds down to provide extra room in the trunk. We have been extremely happy with the car.

This car gets good gas mileage [19 mpg city 29 hwy] Very good performance, comfortable,roomy with large trunk.Very well equipped dimming rear view mirror good audio reliable 3800 engine. It does have it's mechanical issues ie. sway bar cracking antifreeze sensor etc.

We have purchased more than one of these vehicles over the years, this model is subject to recalls that effect the engine, this is from actual owner experience, while some may feel that they can delete these reviews, just know that we are monitoring to see if actual negative reviews are being posted by your organization. Check for transmission issues, cooling issues, head gasket leaks, by having a pressure test done prior to purchase, this vehicle is not for those owners that do not check the oil on a regular basis, it requires a lot of TLC.

I own one of these models, this vehicle was poorly designed, with multiple recalls, the Transmission in this model was the same one they used in the non performance engine, (no supercharging) What this means is that you will buy a new transmission after 80 thousand to 140 thousand, Bank on that. If you buy this supercharged vehicle make sure you add in the price for a new Transmission or a Re-built Transmission, simply because they did not account for the additional torque and power that the supercharged engine would require. That is an engineering mistake that will cost you money if you buy this car. The engine itself has flaws in the cooling and intake system so plan on having to replace the UIM and the LIM (upper intake manifold gasket set) LIM lower intake Manifold gasket set. So the drive train on this car is very UN-reliable. BEware of dealers that tell you this car was driven by granny on sunday mornings only.

Ive had about 6 of these cars (RIP) and loved every single one. My current one is getteing some performance mods that maintain fuel mileage if not reduce it just a little. comfort is amazing with these cars. my buddy asked me why i bought another one, i told him because he kept falling asleep in the passenger seat. Ive never had any major problems with the cars, wear and tear items and a turn signal switch so far were the extent for all of the ones ive had. Great Cars!!
