Detailed Review:
I bought my Regal about four months ago and have really enjoyed my 6,000 miles so far. Love all the electronic gadgets but have had a couple of minor problems so far including melted turn signal bulb socket, erratic fuel gauge and a wind-related noise near the rear window. Otherwise the 3.8L Series II V-6 is a smooth, relatively quiet, torquey engine. Knowing now that the GS with the superchaged V-6 was only a couple of thousand more I probably would have bought the extra power although I don't really think it's necessary in this class of car. My only complaints are the minor electrical problems and wish there was a little less road noise on rough surfaces.
