EURO IMPORTS BEWARE - 2011 Buick Regal
By DAMJUMPER61 - November 18 - 2:00 amI have been the owner of a Volvo S40, a VW Passat, and a Toyota Camry. All I have to say is LOOK OUT. The new Regal that I now have rides, handles and is quieter than all of them. The engine is a little underpowered but cruises down the highway @ 75-80 mph with no problem. The transmittion shifts are smooth and quick. The seating is very supportive and comfortable. Controls for the radio and cruise control are easy to use. The most impressive feature of the vehicle is the ride and how quiet it is on the road. I believe these to be as good as any high line vehicle out there.

American At Last! - 2011 Buick Regal
By JD from MA - November 11 - 2:00 amLike many other drivers in their late 30s looking for a new car, the search began on the other sides of the Atlantic and Pacific. Except for the newer Cadillac CTS and maybe the new Lincoln MKZ, nothing state-side remotely sparked an interest. I thought I had cornered the group of cars from which I would make my selection - - the usual suspects: Audi, Saab, Volvo, Acura and always in the mix, BMW. Price was certainly a consideration house, wife, two kids - you get the picture. It was then that I noticed an online ad for a new Buick Regal. Buick? - I had one in High School. I always thought to myself - why doesnt the U.S ever build cars like ...? Maybe they just did. Check it out.

Great Car - 2011 Buick Regal
By metrosp - November 6 - 2:00 amCrossed shopped, VW (JETTA, CC, PASSAT) , Acura, Honda Accord, Chevy Malibu, Hynday Sonata but none could compare with the feature per price. Stopped into Buick to look at Lacrosse but after driving both, the Regal sporty ride won me over. The looks are very distinctive and interior is excellent and roomy for 5.Love the handling and took a 5 hour drive to New Hampshire without stopping once for gas and still had more than a quarter tank left. If I could have waited a few more months I would have tried to turbo, but the 2.4s performance is more than adequate and it is so quite that I am often cruising at 80 without knowing.

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.
