Constant problems with the power train.

This car has been the biggest money pit ever. I have had over $10,000 in repairs done to this car at the dealership. The balancing shaft bearings went out, the turbo died, timing belt and the torque converter went out at 75,000 miles. I can't think of a time that this car cost me less than $2,500 to repair. I get the oil changed regularly, I get the manufactured recommended services done to it on time and it has been on thing after another. Maybe I just got a bad car but at this point I an looking to buy a Honda or Toyota to replace it so that I can have peace of mind. All repairs and services except one oil change have been done at the dealership.

Minor problems and I LOVE IT.

I bought it used fron Carvana with 49000 miles on it. When it had around 100,000 miles on it i had to replace the middle 2 coils. I did it myself for $100 each. Took me 30 minutes on each one. It now has 137000 miles on it and the check engine light has been on since 110000 indicating a "failing turbo". It shows no signs of failing and continues to run good. just drove it from Florida to Texas and back (1800 miles) It ran good. I have had 4 Buicks and very little trouble with them. I would definitely recommend this car. Beautiful and easy care- just change oil ecery 5000 miles and it keeps going.

New, satisfied owner

So far this car has been great. The GS trim has everything I need. Going from a truck is weird but this car has made the change fun and satisfying.

Love this Buick Regal

This is a beautiful car, love driving it. Lots of room inside and great gas mileage. McKenzie Motors is a great place to buy a car

High end specs and features for mid range price!

Buick Regal 2016 Luxury features that just aren't offered in some other in its class. Great performance! However it is not very efficient, which is the price you pay for a 2.0t @259HP. At 6,3 it is a bit too compact for me but for someone shorter its a great value.

Excellent car. More than I expected from a Buick

I used to own a 2013 Chevy Malibu LTZ. This car reminds me of that car but this car provides many more options. Is been an excellent car... Far more than what I expected.
