2011 Buick Regal consumer reviews

Where do I begin with this car. I have so many electronics that are failing. My heated seats don't work, the infotainment system crashes when it's cold out, my ambient temperature sensor failed (the car thinks it's-40° when it rains). The car gets about 17 mpg city and 22 highway; and you have to keep in mind, this is a midsized car not an suv. I expect to get 17 mpg in an suv, not a car. And with that crappy gas milage, this car can barely get out of it's own way. GM put this tiny little 4 cylinder in a heavier vehicle which explains the gas mileage, this little engine strains to pull this thing out of the way. 3rd gear never shifted right from the start. The shift from 2nd to 3rd almost puts you back in your seat, same deal with the downshift from 4th to 3rd. You feel the transmission shake if you accelerate harder in 2nd gear. and this car only has 34k miles on the odometer. This is stuff that shouldn't even happen at 134k miles. The only way to play music through your phone is through an aux cable. The built in Bluetooth is only for calls. The interior looks amazing, until you realllllly look at it. Quality definitely wasn't something General Motors kept in mind here. The panel gaps are there and the whole interior creaks going around corners! Visibility is minimal. You can't see crap out of the tiny little mirrors and the back is just one big blind spot. Tall people, beware of the back seat. No headroom in the back. And if you're sitting behind a tall person, bahahahaha, good luck bud. Drivers beware, the wondeful and comfortable old man buicks of the old days are gone! I feel like I'm honestly sitting on top of the seat and not in it. It really gets to my curvy back after a while. This thing redeems itself in some ways. First it dogs in the city, but it's swift on the highway. You can cruz at high speeds easily. The seats fold down which means I can fit longer things in the back. I took some pallets home from work one day, and I was able to fit them in the back of the car. The car's awful infotainment system is hooked up to the best audio system I've heard in a vehicle. Harman kardon knew what they were doing here! Finally, this car just looks flat out snazzy. Looks can be deceiving though. I guarantee that if this car had 134k miles and not 34k miles, it would not be on the road today knowing GM quality these days. If you're looking at one of these, run! Get a toyota Camry, get a honda Accord, get a mazda 6, get a subaru equivalent to a midsized car. These Japanese companies know how to build a car correctly and that are still driving 10 years from now. If you do your research, you'll find out that the 5th generation of the buick regal has awful resale value. I can confirm that this is for a dang good reason!

I love my Buick regal she is a beauty and rides very nicely and smooth the miles are very low which I’m very happy about it’s like a brand new car I also read recommend other people to buy.

This car is very comfortable and nice looking lacks power had lot ofproblems when I bought new got the kinks behind it and now is a nice all around car very stylish

I inherited this car from my father the original owner. My wife loved it but I had my concerns about the quality and I was right. The turbo failed at 100k and shortly after the timing chain bolts sheared and ruined the the engine. Nice ride,very quiet cabin,holds the road well and comfortable. I would recommend extended warranty.

Have owned this 2011 since 2013 and it's been a great vehicle. Inexpensive to maintain, kept "new car look" with stylish exterior design, and I never had an issue with the car (now over 130k miles). Enjoy my Jeep now, but the Regal is an excellent choice for those looking for a sedan at great price.

This car meets all of my needs, sporty, fun, fast, reliable. Amazing car for the price. Has good room inside. Steering is amazing. Nothing but good words for the regal

I got my 2011 regal as a hand me down from my brother. As soon as it was mine the check engine light came on. The timing of the engine was messed up. So, right off the line I had put $1300 into it. But it still needs more work. My front passenger side door does not lock or unlock with the buttons and has to be done manually. The front passenger side heated seat does not work and the heated seat module needs replaced. I have a hole in my exhaust but that’s just usual wear and tear for living in a northern climate. My check engine still comes on and off. My tail lights have moisture in them. And last but not least, both of my keys are broken as in the key does not swing back in and does not stay in place. I sometimes find it hard to get comfortable in the seats, this is mostly a personal preference but they don’t keep me in place very well, I find myself sliding around while driving fast. I feel as if it is under powered for being labeled a sport sedan. I also do not personally like the design and set up of the climate control system. I do like the exterior look of the car, its very young, as Buick is trying to reach a younger demographic. Over all, it is a good vehicle, it gets good gas mileage and is perfect for a comfortable daily driver.

This Regal is a Sleeper. Very Quick, nimble and fun! It is a turbocharged, 6 speed manual with all the options offered (TO-7) GM built it is Germany. This is one of the first ones built and imported to US. Very reliable. I am the original owner. Most service done at Buick Dealer. Everything works.

This car has met all my needs and I am completely satisfied I would highly recommend this dealership very friendly, most accommodating and just good people.

Awesome stylish car with great performance and luxury feel. Just a little too small for someone who is over 6 feet tall. Very reliable and low maintenance.
