Big Problems!

After reading some of the other opinions I have to agree that the driving experiance is great for the Buick Regal. The problems I have with it however, have nothing to do with the driving experiance. I have gone through 2 transmitions since buying this car a year and half ago. I have gone through 2 sets of front brake pads (even after the recall). The water pump has a bad habit of lasting about a year before it self destructs, and any attempts to self maintain this vehicle are thwarted by the design which without a lift makes the oil pan unexcessible. Two of the sparkplugs are next to impossible to remove so a tune-up which should take less than an hour can drag into two to three easily. If you are looking for a car with a great driving experiance this is it. If you are looking for a car that has minimum repairs, this definantly is not your vehicle.
