[net.consumers] Need Info on Somerset Regal

paveleck@ihldt.UUCP (Bob Paveleck) (03/20/85)

I'd like to know if anyone has had any experience with, or has read
anything on, the 1985 Buick Somerset Regal.  I've seen this car at a
couple of dealers, but since I'm going to wait a while until I do some
serious shopping, I haven't dug very deeply for information.

I'm mainly interested in consumer reports and reactions from folks
who already have a Somerset Regal.  Since this car is new for '85, I'm
curious to find out about any design bugs it may have.  I currently
drive an '82 Buick Skyhawk, which had some pretty nasty faults in
its design (like an engine with very little power on the highway and
a rocker arm which came loose and made the car feel like a bad shopping
cart!).  I don't want to be a guinea pig with my next car, so I'd
like to know now whether or not this one seems like a lemon (particularly,
with the V-6 option).

Thanks in advance for your help,
Bob Paveleck
