Just purchased -

I?ve been looking at Regals for quite some time and was happy to purchase a 2017 yesterday. I?m 6:3? and weigh 275 and there is plenty of room for me to stretch out my legs. I like the length in the bottom seat as well. It has plenty of zip and handles awesome.

Great Car for the Money

I bought my 2017 Regal Turbo used a few months ago, and for $16,000 it's a pretty darn good car! The exterior styling has gotten many compliments from friends and strangers alike. The interior is both stylish and incredibly comfortable. My only complaint about the interior is that there are many little storage spaces, but most of them aren't really big enough to actually store anything, so things like phones, hand wipe containers, and sunblock have to compete for space in the cup holders or the center console. The controls take a little getting used to but aren't unreasonable, and there are some things like the climate controls and the trunk button that are brilliantly designed. I have the basic 7-speaker sound system, but it still sounds excellent. The ride quality is incredibly smooth and the cabin does a great job of keeping out noise from outside. The tech features even for my lower-trim model are impressive and come in handy a lot, like the remote keyfob, locator, and diagnostics, all of which you can access with the smartphone app. The turbocharged engine is quiet and very fuel efficient (I get around 40 mpg when I'm on the highway), but it certainly doesn't disappoint when you step on the pedal either. Despite looking tiny from the outside, the trunk is actually very large. All in all it's a great car with a lot of standard features that's simultaneously practical, luxurious, stylish, and even a little sporty.

Great car with minimal problems

Having a small family and being a commuter I was faced with needing a quality car, but not too large of a vehicle. The Regal Sport Touring model filled that spot very well. The back seat has bad leg room, but I wasn't looking for a huge space. The gas mileage is good, but it also uses premium fuel. Besides that the interior is great and I have received many compliments on how surprisingly upscale the interior looks for a Buick. The ride comfort is top notch and the car has a great exterior styling. The small 2.0 Turbo engine has a good amount of power for such a small power plant. This was one item I was nervous about but the 4 cylinder has proven capable. I am hoping to keep this car for over 100K miles. So far no major mechanical issues and the car now has 24K miles on it.

New 2017 Buick

We have spent the past 3 to 4 months looking and reviewing cars. We have looked in the Salt Lake area and Locally in Ontario, Fruitland, Weiser and Payette. We test drove this new 2017 Buick and liked every aspect and feature of the car. The Salesman, Tom Schaffer of Steve's Hometown Chev-Buick was very knowledgeable explaining all the features of the vehicle. The most comfortable, easy driving vehicle we have owned.

Best car hand down

The vehicle is a six cylinder, it's good on gas, and $15 for 44 miles is excellent. It's very roomy and the seats are cushioned really well. Wow! What a comfortable car.

Traded in my BMW

I did a lot of research and waited for huge buick rebates for buying new prior year model, so I may not be the average buyer. I did trade out of my 2009 bmw 328i xdrive, though, and can honestly say I feel I upgraded! Buick styled this Regal to tap into a new buyer and it worked. AWD is a must for me in Iowa and it works great. Turbo 4cyl doesn't disappoint either. Only issue is the rear headroom, due to the stylish slope of the roof. Plenty of room up front but anybody over 6' will struggle in the back. Not a big issue with me but noticeable.

Stylish and reliable car for getting around.

The Buick Regal is my second car that I have ever bought bran new and very satisfied on my decision to purchase the Buick Regal. When reviewing and testing cars, prior to my purchase, I found that the Buick was the perfect fit for me. I felt very comfortable behind the wheel, the interior had a classy look. I do a lot of city and side road driving and find the car is smooth in handling and getting in and out of traffic. Love my new car and would recommend to anybody interested in buying or leasing a Buick. Hurd's in Johnston, RI is where to go for great service. Ask for Jennifer L.
