"I have owned my '98 Regal GS for just over two years and use it as my daily driver. The seats are soft but relatively supportive, and allow plenty of adjustment for my long legs. The interior is reasonably quiet, and my friends enjoy the softer ride on road trips. The value present in these cars is pretty commendable. The well-known "3800" engine runs relatively smoothly and has so far been incredibly reliable. Mine, being the GS model, is supercharged and offers much of the speed and enjoyment of a more modern V6. In addition, if I slow it down to 60 mph on the interstate, I easily achieve 30 mpg. One downside to the performance is how heavy the car is - it can feel very lackadaisical as it labors up steep grades and around tight bends. Although the manufacturer recommends premium-grade fuel for the GS, I believe that is overkill; I weened mine off of premium and down to 87-octane soon after purchasing, and it has been running just fine with no evidence of knock. Overall, if you are looking for a reliable car with a spacious interior, huge trunk, road trip comfort, solid reliability, and decent gas mileage (all at a low price!), a Regal might make a great car for you."
