Timing Chain Issue

Watch out for the timing chain disintegrating! Make sure to have it checked before you buy one. I ended up having to replace the engine with just under 100,000 on it.

New school car for my son

The Regal is sporty yet economical and fun to drive! My son can't wait to turn 16 and be able to drive on his own!

Reliable and Sleek!

Regal Turbo Premium 1 model! Smooth and beautiful! I drive this with confidence that my two children are safe in this vehicle. My wife and I are expecting our 3rd child so I’m currently selling it for a bigger vehicle. Other than that, I would keep this forever! It’s a hefty safe vehicle with a great look to it as well!

Loved my car till the night mear started

I love my car loves and I repeat lov”Ed” just about everything about it , till the night mare started . First it started my radio would go in and out . That was upsetting then it would flash the lights in the dash on and off sometimes not coming back on . Then the not being able to start it started . Took it into my mechanic and he fixed the problem or so we thought I had it for a little over a month and then it started doing the same thing . Radio would go off , lights flashed , wouldn’t start , took it back cost me a bunch and not even 19 miles on the car since it’s back out of the garage and I’m driving it my lights and this time headlights included started going haywire . Then I lost my headlights , my car shut off driving down a hill and I lost my power steering and almost had an accident . Got it off the road , calling the tow truck the lights started going nuts flashing lights on and off then the noises of all the things trying to work . They towed me from there . I messaged GM yesterday was told to take it to a dealership . Why should I have to pay , again for an issue I’ve already spend quite a bit of money on and it’s not fixed then I read reviews about my car seeing this is a big on going problem . And they aren’t recalling this ? Why when someone couid or has gotten killed . Tell me why I’m driving a car which has known issues of these nature’s and Gm hasent done anything about it . Someone’s if not already will be killed by an issue Gm needs to stand by ! I’m livid I don’t have a ton of money to keep putting into a car that should have been recalled and fixed by the manufacture ! Gm get ur xxxx together and fix this issue it’s on u not on the car owner bot when it is a safety issue !

Well equipped and affordable!

I own my second Buick Regal currently and love that I upgraded to the Premium 2 Turbo trim (2013 model). It has pretty much everything except a back-up camera and some safety features. Rear seat headroom is sometimes tight. It drives excellent and hugs the road and has shocking acceleration in city and highway driving! Another pro is the amazing sound of the turbocharger.

Always something going on with it.

My husband has a 2012 and I have a 2013 Buick Regal. Both vehicles have had wheel bearings replaced MANY times. The 2013 Regal makes all kinds of clunking noises and the trunk has popped open several times for no reason.

Tight nimble handling. comfortable interior.

Tight quiet ride. 6 speed manual takes the boredom out. 270 HP has decent acceleration. Nice amenities. Very nice leather seats. Great sound system. Pretty good fuel economy.

Car has been one of the best I have owned.

Great looking car. Good performance and excellent handling. Some service items are expensive. Transmission is sealed and can only serviced by dealer. $600 to service.
