My car is economical and reliable. It is the fifth Buick I have owned and I love driving it.

My car is a beautiful red Buick Regal. I purchased it new in October, 2016. It has beige leather interior. It is very comfortable to drive and gets good gas mileage.

Hiram M

Best car to get when you want a great performance great seating.

I love that the vehicle has no problems the age of it is great and I have had hit since the day it can out it is amazing and I love it so much. The interior is amazing and it is the best for people who like comfortable seating. The performance is amazing going up to high speeds and nothing since I had it has anything bad happened to the car.

Isaiah M

That it is a big body and has lots of trunk space. This.

I don't really have any problems, she gets me where I want to go. My coolant and other fluids are checked very randomly, and my tires are rotated each time before I go out of town. Good quality oil and gas cleaner is done by me, that way I can save on mechanic service. Especially if I can do it myself.

Not only is it a beautiful car but truly reliable as well!

I absolutely love my Buick regal! Super smooth to drive but also a very fast car! A bit small from the inside but perfect for a 4 people family! I have the black Buick and it looks fantastic! The gs is awesome! You can definitely feel the difference from driving it regular. I also love the sunroof! Huge trunk! A truly very reliable car! Will definitely be sticking to Buick from now on!

Primary household car: Buick regal gs.

The transmission is not perfect. The gears do not switch right when they need to. The leather quality is great. However, the dashboard plastic looks and feels very cheap. The plastic does creep when touched or when driving on a bumpy road other than that everything is great.

Amanda G

Sunroof and Heated seats, what more could you want?

Very reliable car. Comfortable and spacious. Sunroof and heated seats are just a couple of the great features. Smooth drive and fast.

Sam W

Reliable, modern looking car, with up to date features.

Great car, fun to drive. Comfortable ride. Reliable. My only complaint is that I don't like OnStar, so did not sign up for the service which should be free!

Cheryl P

Love my Buick I would suggest Buick to everyone.

I love the conveniences it has, like Bluetooth, heated seats, remote start. Gas mileage is great. Driving is so much fun and comfortable. Has plenty of room to store and for passengers. The only drawback is it didn't come with a spare, came with an air tank to air up my tire. Not sure how great that will be.

Negative Owner Reviews

James F

It has some style and performance.

It is fine;I just want the gs. I like the style(look) and performance of the gs. The wheels are very sharp and the electronics are awesome. The leather upholstery is very refined and the woodwork is awesome too. It is very fast and hugs the road for safety and balance.

Sheldon S

That i drive a buick and that they are a reliable vehicle.

It is not fully equipped with the luxury features, like my old car

Lindsey S

If you do not like backup camera and radio function this car is for you!

This vehicle is not terrible, it's been reliable for the last 3 years. About a year in we started to notice some rust bubbling on the trunk, and there has been several issues with the backup camera malfunctioning and the radio, which have both had to be replaced 2 times now. Overall it's a good vehicle, if I had to do it again I probably wouldn't considering the payment is almost $400 a month.

Kamille F

The car drives like it is brand new. You also look good driving in it.

My vehicle is ok it drives good. I just wish it was never as in 2020 new. The back seat is messed up but trying to find somebody to fix it asap. The door is also messed up which I am going to have fixed soon as well. Overall I would rather a newer car with no eye sores.

My Buick Regal is dependable in all types of weather.

I love the turbo, the gas mileage, and the interior comfort. I dislike the store space in the console, because it is in an uncomfortable position to access.

Judy W on January 28, 2021

Buick Regal is Truly Regal

Drives like a dream and handles easy. We have been on several long-distance trips and love our Regal. The gas mileage is great too, and we've had no maintenance problems. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone. The backup camera and navigation system has made traveling a much more pleasant experience.

Pros from Owners

Jess G.

Amazing power as it is the turbocharged model. Excellent quality everything. The leather interior is beautifully made. I love everything about the sporty look as well. This is the second one that I have leased and it does not disappoint.

Alicia G.

I love this car. It drives smoothly and is cost efficient with fuel. I like the looks of it and all of the great interior features. This car was also very affordable for how nice it really is. The car is very stylish.

Cons from Owners

Jess G.

I had some transmission issues in this model with bucking and slamming into gear while shifting up or down in low gears that ended up getting fixed under my warranty. And a lot of issues with car disconnecting the phone while trying to play Pandora through it.

Alicia G.

There are very few cons that I can say about this car. I have only owned it for 3 months. I guess I really do not like that the gas tank is on the opposite side from where I am used to on my previous vehicles. It takes some getting used to but it is really not that significant of a con.
