"Married, two kids, and must be getting older (33yrs) b/c I bought a Buick! This auto is a lot of fun to drive, very sporty, with enough cabin room to fit 4 grown men and enough trunk space for 2 sets of golf clubs+. For the money, this should be a no brainer for the sub $35k price point consumer."

"Hadn't bought a new car in fifteen years and needed to step up a little with my job. Did a lot of research and waited until automatic transmission GS came out in April 2012. + exterior styling gets comments + gs suspension and horsepower make it a blast to drive + still glad I didn't buy an Acura or BMW - maintenance schedule says only change oil when notified...not sure I buy that"

"I was in the market for a family car. Main criteria being style , performane and comfort. Checked out VW (cc), BMW 3,5 series ,Lexus etc. But then I just drove by a buick dealer and said why not check them out(I was anti-Buick until then- thought about the name association with retirees). But I was pleasantly blown away with the styling and comfort. Not to mention the pricing. The Regal turbo Level 3 is absolutely great. Y pay 8-12 grand more for the same from other brands. 19" rims look good, engine is pretty peppy. Massive amounts of Torque, cavernous trunk space, good brakes. The Adaptive sport mode suspension is unheard of at this price point. HID-Lights are noice too, just love the 8 point lumbar supporting seats. also it has also all the regular bells and whistels like Bluetooth, navigation, remote start..etc.... I also own a Z3(manual), but the grip on the 245 19" wheel is exceptional. Buick is definitely onto something here. If you are more concerned about Fuel economy check out the eAssist version. But the Turbo is the way to go if u dont drive extensively in the city."

"I am impressed with the overall style and comfort of this car! The Regal makes driving a treat and I am extremely pleased. I was a bit concerened that the four cylinder would have a weak pick-up, but have found this car's power is not affected by the engine. The extra features such as the bluetooth, reverse security, interior comfort, and smooth ride make me want to drive, drive, drive!!"

"I waited 12 years until I gave up my 5 speed manual 6 cylinder VW Passat GLX. I bought a loaded 2012 turbo Buick Regal and it's been a blast to drive. It's beautiful, powerful and gets 31 MPG on the highway which is amazing since it's larger than my old Passat that got 30 MPG and has automatic transmission. People are always asking me what the "hot" car is I'm driving and they can't believe it's a Buick. My only "issue" is there is no trunk release inside the car. You use the key fob instead. Also, the baseplate of the gearshift is a shiny mirror finish which does reflect sunlight up into your eyes and I had the dealer repaint it with a flat black finish paint."

"I have a 2012 Regal eassist with the premium 2 trim plus the optional navigation and sunroof.. I have no issue with the car's acceleration, its more than adequate and the engine is very smooth and quiet. The stop/start system is seamless 90% of the time. Sometimes the engine will come on after you idle for a minute at a long traffic light and that process does send a slight vibration through the cabin. The city mileage is nowhere near the 25mpg EPA rating but I'm not surprised at that. In pure city driving Im lucky to get 20mpg, but I generally cannot get any car to match EPA "city" ratings. On the highway the car can easily do 34mpg and I've gotten as high as 38 on a level highway. I have been disappointed with some of the panel fits inside the car, several gaps are too large- especially the one between the glovebox door and the surrounding trim. I have not looked at other 2012s built in Canada to see if this is common."

"The base engine is adequate for my style. The interior is ninicely designed, the middle back seat is stiff. The exterior mirrors are too high creating left turn visibility problems. At night part of the dashboard reflects in the upper portion of windshield. The exterior design is eye catching. I have 3200 miles on vehicle, so far so good."
