  Extremely impressed with the GS - 2012 Buick Regal
  By regal_gs - November 28 - 1:15 pm

  We just picked up our GS last week and we have already put about 600 miles on it. So far the performance, comfort, driving fun and fuel mileage is everything we hoped it would be. The sport modes work extremely well at giving you a choice at how harsh and responsive the car is, the manual transmission is great (one of the main reasons for getting this car), and it looks fantastic. We were actually getting 31-32 mpg on the freeway and I averaged 28 mpg with the first tank (mostly highway). Its just nice to actually get what the epa says it will do.

  Watch out - 2012 Buick Regal
  By John Person - August 20 - 2:13 pm

  Overall a nice driving experience but had lot of trouble with this car. Recall, wheel bearing going in less than 60,000 miles and the dealership could never fix the problems with the front seat. Brought it in 5 times and it never worked right. I had problems with the lumbar support, when they fixed that the seat heater didnt work. Brought it back and they said it was fixed but it still didnt work. Each time I brought it in I had to make a new appointment so they could "send it out." Long story short the dealership could not make it function and GM would not let me take it anywhere else since eventually the warranty expired. This will be my last GM for a while. By the way, once I sold the car I could still open locks, start vehicle, etc. since it was still connected to my smart phone. Beware the "internet of things" and whatever you have connected to the internet. This is a big security risk of these vehicle.

  Take a great car with a strong motor ie 3.8 and cheapen it with a 4cylinder. And a bunch of cheap ( bling) plastic and you have a Regal save your money a KI A is cheaper and has a better warranty oh yea it’s fasrer!!!!
