Faults:

Nothing, it held up even when times got rough, and the repairs couldn't be made immediately.

This car was a dream on wheels from the first day I got it. Being my first car, it went through thick and thin with me. The interior was comfortable for both me, being the driver, and all my passengers, and as everyone else has chuckled at, Honda's were no match what so ever. I don't have this car anymore due to an accident which wasn't my fault, and even after the accident it still ran. My mother junked it and to this day I haven't forgiven her for it. I am, to this day, looking for my next Buick Regal, Gran Sport... The one and only car for me.

Faults:

I had a major accident, the passenger door is caved in completely.

General Comments:

The car runs perfectly, the door works, and everything is great.

Faults:

The window heating failed (in the winter) and later appeared to be a blown main fuse. Sound system sometimes freezes. Switching off the engine and restarting solves the problem. Limit switch of the sun roof fails to stop when sun roof is closed, so it opens back again. Same the opposite way.

General Comments:

Huge car to drive with plenty power, only the gearbox reaches its limit at 100 MPH on German "Autobahn". The car could go faster. At high speed, extreme good comfort and stability. Very economical. Seats are OK, but passenger seat does not have electric controls. Reliable piece of steel.

Faults:

The torque converter lock out clutches have been slipping since I bought the car and I finally overhauled the transmission at 100,000 miles. At 125,000 the clutches are starting to slip again. The dealer recommends frequent fluid changes to extend the life of this transmission.

Living in Atlanta, I don't experience the frozen door mechanisms that I have seen posted in other reviews, but water getting inside the doors has caused the power window motors and door locks to fail prematurely.

Power antenna has never retracted fully since I have owned this car and I have seen a couple other cars around town with the same problem.

The key-less entry relay failed at 85,000 miles. The car was 9 years old then so I suppose that's reasonable, but the dealer wants $650 to fix it which seems unreasonable. Disarming the key-less entry relay unit will allow the power locks to continue to work. Thanks to the dealer who offered this alternative.

General Comments:

Great engine! The 3.8 liter V-6 is the old reliable 350 V-8 with the front two cylinders removed. That's why I bought this car. I am planning at least 200,000 miles.

The seats were redesigned in 1993 to provide better lumbar support - something I wish this car had.

Most people will like the sporty suspension and good handling. I'm glad the front struts are finally wearing out so I can have a softer ride.

This is a reasonably priced mid-size car that has been very reliable aside from the transmission. I am putting 20,000 miles a year on it and it has been a good choice.

The interior has held up well in the Georgia sun. No cracks in the dashboard and the seats look great after 11 years.
