  Very impressed after almost a month - 2011 Buick Regal
  By Cate - July 24 - 1:10 pm

  I 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 pm

  Im 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.

  Couldnt say no - 2011 Buick Regal
  By Tom H - June 23 - 7:27 pm

  The moment I sat in the Regal I knew I would leave owning it. The cocoa/cashmere interior is beautiful. The exterior styling has a subtle elegance that doesnt draw a lot of stares, still I have had 3 people stop to ask about the car. Mileage is about 27 combined and 31 Hwy. Power is more than adequate for my needs. 7 speaker stereo sounds great. Very fun to drive with a refined ride. I drove the LaCrosse, but liked the smaller size of the Regal. Trunk size is larger than I expected. The blue lighting of the dash is very pleasing at night. I look forward to driving it to work in the morning and home in the evening.

  Much Better than I expected! - 2011 Buick Regal
  By Thomas - June 11 - 5:46 pm

  Beautiful inside & out. Excellent Ride & Crisp Handling. Sound system like being at a Live Concert. Better than a BMW at a fraction of the cost. Drive one first or you will end up paying a lot more.

  Im in love! - 2011 Buick Regal
  By ety - May 30 - 10:22 am

  Just picked up my Regal yesterday and absolutely love it. Looks and feels like a $40,000 car. Was about to get a TSX, then the Regal came out. When I went to take a look, it was love at first sight. Looks even better in the flesh than in pics. Engine has a nice growl that makes the TSX sound somewhat wimpy. It also feels much more substantial.

  An absolute joy to drive - 2011 Buick Regal
  By jackiern13 - May 24 - 10:02 am

  Purchased car 10 days ago and absolutely in love! Its beautiful inside and out - nothing in its class can compare. The ride is smooth and classic Buick, but the steering and peppy engine is all sport! The interior is classic with supple leather and well designed dash. Very quiet to outside road noise. Mine came with the RL5 package - I think there is a RL6 package that would add navigation, but otherwise the car is loaded. Plenty of room in the backseat for passengers and the trunk has plenty of storage with fold down rear seats for extra room if needed. You have to drive this car before deciding to purchase an Acura or Lexus - I dont think they can compare.

  Solid Midsize Sedan Alternative - 2011 Buick Regal
  By jklag11 - June 27 - 1:26 am

  Bought my used 2011 Buick Regal Turbo in 2015 with only 30k miles on it. Cost the same or less than comparable Ford and Honda midsize sedans with engine upgrades that I looked at. Overall really like the car, it has usable acceleration, good handling and ride (both important given the amount of driving I do over broken roads and maneuvering into parking garages), and is very sharp looking. Reliability and fit and finish have been excellent. Interior design is nicely done with high quality materials. On the long highway trips Ive taken it on, I have been impressed with the quiet cabin and comfortable seats for long hauls. Cargo space is pretty good for a Only downside I have found is that it has mediocre city mileage and takes premium gas.

  Dont pass this up!!! Seriously... - 2011 Buick Regal
  By Frank C - June 25 - 1:47 am

  Spent a long time looking at Lincolns, Caddys, Nissans, Passats, etc and was almost bored of test drives. They started to feel the same. On a family members suggestion, (I was trying to laugh it off) they suggested the Regal. This Regal shocked me...no ride noise at hwy speeds, unbelievable handling on the equipped 18" tires, great styling (you really cannot tell its a Buick until you see the grille) and comfortable leather interior. The lil 2.4 isnt a speed demon, BUT I am getting almost 29 hwy and 23 avg MPG and its a BLAST to drive. A great value.
