2011 Buick Regal User Reviews

Pros

Extremely stylish

Cons

No Trunk release inside car, Bizarre Transmission Shifts

Purchased As New

Really, Really, Really wish they would have spent a little more time designing this car and added a trunk release inside the car! It's a pain in the butt, turning the car off or getting out to open the trunk. If you have kids you understand my misfortune... Come on Buick add trunk a release! Must have just slipped their minds in the design process, someone should be fired!...read morehide

I bought this car brand new before I have driven a lexus and a caddy and to some everything up this car can go in the same catergory but much cheaper.

Pros

Sporty look, fast & athletic, technology, 18" standard wheels.

Cons

Seats are uncomfortable, will take some time to get used too.

Purchased As New

Sporty unique look. Nothing like it on the road. Lines are so sophisticated one picture doesn't do it justice. Fast and athletic, opened it up on an empty highway. Hit triple digits quickly. Car kept asking for more, I was too nervous in the U.S....lol Technology is off the hook! I can control my iphone, talk on bluetooth. And send turn by turn directions from google maps to the car from my Iphone or computer. Can even play Pandora from my Iphone, song info will diplay on dash. I'm in my mid 30's proffesional but I stil like to have fun. Army Vet, stationed in Germany for 3 years. When I found out they were making these in Germany I had to have it. I have a Russelsheim, if you ever get to drive on the autobahn you will understand. Thanks Buick, I'm in heaven....read morehide

Pros

Beautiful car, loads of fun to drive

Cons

Wish I had gotten the turbo

Purchased As New

I love this car. I am 27, and get confused looks when I claim that I own a Buick. Then, when that person gets to experience the Regal, I hear nothing but (surprised) compliments. Most cant believe its an American car.

I have the 4 cyl (turbo wasnt an option when I purchased), and even though I miss having a V6, the Regal CXL still performs very, very well...especially considering its a mid-sized, heavy car being hauled around by the 4 cyl. Handling is superb on windy roads. Accelerating to pass slow pokes is a breeze.

The luxurious interior is unsurpassed, especially in the price range it comes in....read morehide

Pros

Handling/torque/braking/styling

Cons

Blindspots

Purchased As New

Owned VW Jetta for 10 yrs, wanted a more powerful yet practical car (I have kids). Owned for 3k miles. Regal Turbo has plenty of Torque for me. Strong passing power. Handles like its on rails. Braking power is amazing (Larger disk brakes). I have always driven stick and was lucky to find a Regal in stick. Many Regal owners w/Automatic transmission don't like the shifting on Automatic. Get the stick, it makes the true driving experience/performance of this car 10x better. Fuel economy has been very good. Consistent with EPA estimates. Only takes premium gas so you pay a little more at the pump. Takes E85 gas, but if you do a lot of city driving it doesn't pay off. If you do more long-distance it does get better mileage. Fits two childrens car seats in back. Good size trunk but not huge. Trunk fits my golf clubs/grocerys. Took time to get used to blind spots. Visibility is very poor in rear compared to cars I have owned. Takes some getting used to but something you can get over....read morehide

Pros

poor

Cons

style

Purchased As New

poor gas milage. poor rear visability during lane change. .compare to honda accord has better pickup and gas milage. just thought to buy american car and support our industry.

Purchased As New

Comparing this car with a Ford Fusion, Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata, the choice was easy. It is by the far the classiest of any of these vehicles, and the turbo gives the car sufficient power to be very fun to drive.

Pros

Four cylinder gets good gas mileage

Cons

Very stiff, transmission constantly downshifts for no reason

Purchased As New

Well, I honestly can say I am not a big fan of Buick and will never be

Pros

Smooth ride, trunk space , gas milage, heated leather seats

Cons

xm radio

Purchased As New

Great car for the money looks great too. Took this car on a 4,500 mile trip 8 states best milage was 34.0 lowes was 28.4mpg. avg. 31.0 set cruise control at 77 when speed limit was 75 . The 2.4 l would pull the hills and I was passing most other cars with no problems. Tep. reading was always at 180 even when it hit 109 in Kanas. Folding seats was nice because we filled our trunk with stuff. Smooth ride road noise was not an issue, just set the air condtioning on auto and the seats were great too. My mp3 worked fine for our music. So far I love this car, buick build quality is super,one of the best looking car out there. Oh it handled great in hi-wind also....read morehide
