No portholdes - 2011 Buick Regal
By Richard - November 3 - 2:00 amNever liked portholes on cars - the Regal meets my criteria. Began looking for Japanese import but after driving the Regal, my search was over. Fit and finish are exceptional with upscale styling inside and out. Fun to drive and of course handles well. Warranty better than comparable imports. Plenty of power for me and Id guess for most drivers. Foreign imports in this price range have something to be concerned about.

GM does it right this time! - 2011 Buick Regal
By George - October 21 - 2:00 amBought a Regal RL1 in July to replace a 2005 Saab 9-3. GM didnt do a good job Americanizing the Saab, but it has done an outstanding conversion of the Opel Insignia into the Buick Regal. Currently built in Germany, the Regal has outstanding design details, workmanship, and reliability. I have the dark blue exterior, cashmere interior which is really a gorgeous combination. Love the comfortable leather seats, dual climate controls, quiet ride and sporty handling. And even the little things like the power up/down on the passenger seat and the ability to customize the locking system, e.g. I choose to open all doors with one click of the remote instead of two.

Mini Cadillac - 2011 Buick Regal
By Bill - August 5 - 12:14 pmI have had the car for almost a month now and I love it. Was driving a 2004 Pontiac GP. What an upgrade! The quality inside is as noticeable as the styling outside. It not a race car but the power is adequate thanks to the transmission. The six speed transmission always finds the right gear unlike the six speed in my Acadia. Highly recommend this car if your budget is <$30K. I owned a Cadillac STS before and this feels like a mini version of that car.

My new 2011 buick Regal - 2011 Buick Regal
By valerie - August 2 - 2:33 pmI picked up my new car 2 days ago. I have to say it is more than I expected. There are no buttons to unlock the rear doors you will have to read the manual to figure this one out. I also wish GM would build cars with the fuel door on the drivers side. But that didnt stop me from my purchase. The interior is nicely appointed and the seats are very comfortable. I have the stone metallic finish which seems to change color depending on the available light. I think the finish and exterior trim are exceptional. Plenty of engine for the size car. Brakes well too. The transmission is adequate and shift a little rough at low gear. My Saturn shifted smoother.

Nice test drive - 2011 Buick Regal
By SJ in Philly - July 26 - 11:17 amConsidering Regal and took test drive over the weekend. Very good looking car inside and out. The interior quality was impressive to say the least. On par with the CC which friends of mine currently own. Backseat was larger than expected and on par with current car. Trunk was deep and well finished. Car was extremely quiet and handled well. Acceleration was adequate as one would expect for a non turbo four cylinder.

Very impressed after almost a month - 2011 Buick Regal
By Cate - July 24 - 1:10 pmI have had my new Regal for three weeks now and love it! The car handles great and is fun to drive. The gas mileage is good -- 27 mpg with combined city and highway driving including vacation highway miles. Also, the car is a nice combination of sport and classic styling. It has been turning a few heads. The interior styling includes leather seats and an upgraded stereo system. It seems like a smaller version of the LaCrosse inside (no skimping on style). I looked at Audi, VW, and Mazda and chose a Buick. Very happy with this purchase.

Not your Grandfathers or Fathers Buick - 2011 Buick Regal
By Steve - July 8 - 12:25 pmIm pleasantly surprised with all aspects of this car. I was looking at Acura TSX and gently used RL, Volvo S60, Audi A4/VW CC and used BMW 3 series. Theres plenty of room for 4 and their stuff. The trunk seems bigger than all other cars I shopped. Feature for feature, it was by far the best value. Seats are supportive and very comfortable, took a 500 mile trip and averaged 31 mpg, including some stop and go traffic. An excellent consideration for those shopping entry level luxury cars in the under $40K class.
