Great Review - Very Accurate (Reply to this comment)

I'm 21 and I just bought a 1998 Buick Regal GS with about 100K miles on it. This review is totally correct. Ever since I got this car driving has gone from a chore to a blast. I love the power, I love how it handles the road and I especially love how it doesn't have the cheap / cheesy interior that Grand Prixs have. I see this car as a more comfortable and luxurious Grand Prix. All the power without the hard seats and cheesy interior.

The only downside with this car is when I tell people I drive a Buick they think its an "old person boat". I definitely look forward to racing and beating my friends "cool rice mobiles". Then they'll know what a Buick can do.

This car is very similar to the Grand Prix. (I believe the Grand Prix has a stiffer suspension.)

The only thing I am worried about is the supercharger going out. I have heard stories of Grand Prix GTPs needing them replaced and I hope mine doesn't conk out since I am already at the 100K mile mark.

You wrote a great review of this car. I'm thinking about purchasing one and your review answered a lot of questions. I'm going to the dealer to test drive it Monday.

sorry about the length...it was about 2:30am when i wrote that, so i was thinking clearly, just not typing like i should've...i tried a total of 3 times to write the thing but my computer decided to be mean and freeze, making me completely shut down and restart each time...last time i just got fed up and started typing and submitted it before my computer could say otherwise...but thanks for reading it :) and if you have any more questions feel free to email me, especially about any modifications, say, exhaust, or supercharger pulley ;)

You give lots of smart observations in your interesting review... thanks for sharing.

Next time you write a review -- and I sure hope you do -- I suggest breaking it up into many more paragraphs. It's hard to read a big slab of text.
