I bought my 2018 essence in January 2020.

I bought my 2018 essence in January 2020. It was a rental car with 24,000 miles when I bought it. 34k new, I got it for $17,600. It now has 102,000 miles and I hope to have it for at least 5 more years. Runs and feels brand new. Hard to believe. I still feel happy just getting behind the wheel. So comfortable and fun to drive. Only change the oil and new tires. Not one mechanical issue. I'm afraid I'll never have another car like this one.

My 2018 Regal Sportback Essence

I have a 2018 Buick Regal Sportback Essence and it is the best car I have ever owned. I simply love it! It is quiet, stylish, comfortable, and for a 4 cylinder, powerful. Very nice car on long trips.

Regal GS - A thing of beauty

My third Regal, all Certified PreOwned, and all terrific cars. This 2018 has a V6 and every option available, incredibly comfortable seats, and since it is a hatchback, a huge easy to access trunk space. Uses regular gas and has been averaging over 30 mpg on the highway. Love it!!!

Sharpest AWD Buick I've Ever Owned

My '18 Buick Regal Sportback with heated/cooled seats & AWD was by far the best Buick sedan I've ever owned. Great interior trim design that compliments its exterior design. The factory 4yr50Kmi bumper-to-bumper warranty adds extra piece of mind but other than oil changes & tire rotation I had no other service calls. The Regal Sportback is a great road trip car thanks to its above avg interior comfort and great views around the vehicle from the driver's seat. Mine was fairly loaded as it was the dealers wife's demo. I traded it in last month with 44,570 miles and leased a 2020 Regal Sportback with same options as my '18 did, it has just 3 miles on it. Its a different color but has the same interior. GM really knows how to make great sedans & trucks, as I am not a fan of the crossover as I would purchase a Tahoe or Yukon before buying a Enclave, Envision or XT4/XT5/XT6, etc.

This car flys under the radar

I have really enjoyed this car, really deserves to be a bigger seller. So far I have driven 24,000 kilometres with no problems. The are so many Accords and Camrys on the road, I wanted something with a little more cachet and exclusivity. Car is comfortable for travelling and anyone who has been in it has remarked on how smoothly it rides. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but I think this is a very elegant design. Gas mileage so far has been very good, 6.1 litres per 100 Km, about 38.5 to. US gallon. However I just checked on the last two fill ups and the car is using about 10% more fuel than the readout indicates. Performance from the 4 cyl. Engine is excellent and acceleration on the highway is instant and effortless. Only negative for me is some tire noise on coarse roads, I think the newer Continental tires have foam inserts to minimize this. Overall a great car

Finally a car with leg room

Being 6`2 I find it very challenging to find a car with enough leg room. This car has leg room and the ride is smooth and you can barely hear any noise. I like the interior and exterior. I really enjoy driving this car.

So far the best car I have purchased

I have only had it a month, but so far I love it. Had to put some miles on it the first week I had it driving 120 miles a day, one of the most comfortable cars I've owned

So comfortable!

During a 17 hour road trip, we felt very comfortable and safe. The gas mileage was better than we expected. I am so glad I chose my Regal Sportsback.

Very beautiful; has the "IT" factor.

Awesome looking! Great on gas. More reliable than the last versions. Looking forward to getting a 2019 Buick Regal because of the style and gas reliability and the "IT" factor.
