Leaking headlight fill with water, both sides.

Not a happy camper. Both Headlight fill with water. They look like small fish tanks. Constantly blows out bulbs. Should be delcared a recall before this car goes on fire.

Nice car, and cheaper than a stick transmission .

I bought this car in the 2103 version. It burns or leaks a little oil, but it runs great, has good pickup, a smooth ride, and is fun to drive.

Happy with my 2012 Regal GS

I've owned my car since 2014 to current time, and I am pleased with this car my biggest drawback is my Radio must have a loose antenna because some stations are crystal clear while other tend to drop off while driving and dealership refused to even look at it although my car was still under warranty. I didn't want to push the issue, it's like being in a restaurant you never send your food back to the kitchen. As far as performance she's very quick once the Turbo kicks in and nice to look at.

I have always loved Buick Regals

Back in 1992, I purchased a brand new Buick Regal. That car lasted for 20 years with no major fixes. The motor was still purring like a kitten except the frame was rusted due to weather in Michigan & had to call it a day. Loved that car, best ever

Affordable Luxary

I love the heated leather seats and that it gets 30+ miles per gallon. The digital speedometer and alert system are awesome bonuses as well. But the amount of buttons on the dash is very confusing at first, it does take some time to figure out what does what.

Great car for a family

Great car for traveling around and driving. Smooth driving and easy to control in all types of weather. The price of the car makes it worth owning.

Looks good feels good.

Good looking economical vehicle. Good looking interior and exterior. Only thing I would have changed is adding a block heater and a spare tire instead of what I found later in that compartment.
