2012 Buick Regal User Reviews

Pros

mpg city/road about 23.5, love the LED DRL's, great Buick ride, 20's chrome off the hoof

Cons

Driver seat too small for my butt

Purchased As New

traded 2012 Lax. for Regal GS. Love the steering, Brembo brakes, even the sound of the 4 cyl.turbo is growing on me. Car gets looks everywhere i go. THIS CAR IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM 2012 LACROSSE. I RODE IN THE LAX., I DRIVE THE GS!!!!!!

Pros

Red exterior; Black leather interior; turbo rocks

Cons

Computer screen difficult to read at twilight

Purchased As New

I waited for the red Regals to arrive. This premium 1 turbo is a hoot to drive. You step on the gas, it'll snap your neck back! The ride is smooth, and you feel pampered in the leather and lighting of the interior. The control knobs are a bit of a challenge to master. The heated seats are the warmest I've ever had...great for lower back! Being a turbo you sacrifice a little in mileage, although I get 27-28 mpg combined, and be prepared for a more expensive oil change as well. Keyless ignition and entry work fine. Sometimes I ask passengers if I can borrow their finger to start the car! Having owned Chryslers for 20 years, this was my first Buick. I'm very happy....read morehide

Pros

Styling, interior, power

Cons

A few cheap looking interior trim pieces, less than ideal FM reception

Purchased As New

I traded a 2010 Lexus IS for my Regal Turbo and haven't looked back. I never thought I would buy a Buick, but I love this car. Slick styling both inside and out, and the turbo has great power. I do find that I don't get great FM reception at times, and some of the "aluminum" trim (espcially around the shifter and on the steering wheel) is a little to "shiny plastic" than I care for, but by and large this is an awesome car that I love showing off. The Lexus was a great looking car but it never blew me away with performance or emotion. I've gotten more reaction from friends and strangers for the Regal than I ever did with the Lexus....read morehide

I love the styling and looks of my Regal. The leather interior is worthy of a more expensive luxury car. The Buick dealership has really impressed me with their follow up to make sure that I'm satisfied.

Pros

Looks good, with a lot of goodies

Cons

Tilt wheel could tilt another inch up

Purchased As New

Got this car with the white diamond tricoat and sun roof. I have gotten a lot of complaments. very comfordable and responsive for a 4 cyl.
I drive less than 5 miles back and forth to work each day in city traffic so the milage is as expected. on the highway on weekends geting almost 35MPG.
I love to show off the advantages of this car to my friends that own imports....read morehide

Cons

None so far...

Purchased As New

I LOVE this car...especially with the lease deals that Buick has going. XM Radio, Oil changes/tire rotations and OnStar included! Even a small engine has more than enough power. I love the look of the car on the inside and outside. The ride is better than any other car I test drove. Overall, this is one AWESOME vehicle!...read morehide

i have had my regal for about a month now and i am impressed with this car. such a relaxing ride, just love driving this car. 400 to 500 miles on a tank of gas, wow. it is a beautiful ride, feels like a big car and looks modern. its not just for grandma and grandpa anymore!

Pros

Half Hybrid, at least that's what I call it!

Cons

None

Purchased As New

The only thing I don't like is that the backseat and the roof are not very compatible with tall people.

Pros

fit, finish, engine performance, quality, ride

Cons

torque steer

Purchased As New

This is an excellent car! Incredible assembly quality, peppy engine, incredible finish out...doors sound like a tank when you close them....love the blue interior lighting at night, little flood lites light up the gear shifter from the ceiling, the cubby holes in the doors...wonderful ride.....all the while getting 28 mpg combined city hiway driving...read morehide

Pros

Fun to drive, handles very well

Cons

none

Purchased As New

My wife liked mine so much, she got one too! Performance isn't bad with the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, but the turbo is great. I just didn't want to spend the money for the turbo. The 2012 model has some equipment that wasn't available in 2011, such as remote start, homelink and a new touch screen radio system....read morehide
