We've had this for 35 months, and are at the end of our 36 month lease. Normally I'd never buy a car that I've leased, but this one is different. The combination of the impressive performance (4 cyl turbo) and the huge "trunk" space make it a keeper. Plus, these were built in Germany before being discontinued, so the build quality is definitely there. With the car market so crazy right now, and given we've had zero problems in the first three years, it's an easy choice.

I wanted to like this car; however, I couldn't overlook the very mediocre interior. It's dated and doesn't compare to cars that are cheaper. For example, the seats and interior in a base level Malibu are better. The car does have some nice safety features like lane assistance, brakes are great and it drove well. Exterior and trunk space are positives. Buick will have to make some changes for it to compete at this price.

My parents purchased a brand new 2018 Buick Regal in June of 2019. They had it 10 weeks when my father struck a deer. There was minor damage to the headlight and fender. The car has now been in the shop for 20 weeks (Since September 13). It is not the shop's fault. GM is not making replacement parts for their vehicles. We now have 4 different dealerships searching the country for the replacement part. It is the right front headlight. This should be a VERY common part. They have had to juggle their now 1 car for almost 6 months with both of them working. My mother cried last night. They JUST PURCHASED THE CAR. They have to make payments every month. but do not have the car. It has likely also depreciated $5,000 in value while sitting at the shop. If this is how GM Treats their customers then DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. BY the way Between my parents, siblings, and their souses they drive 12 GM vehicles most of which were purchased new. This may be then end of that.

car has potential for 4 or 5 stars. Software issue reported 3 months ago- still not corrected. Car took long enough time to be introduced. That time should have eliminated flaws, especially since this problem is in other GM cars that have been out for a full year. Also know engine requires premium fuel, other 4 cylinders do not. Back to the drawing board GM The software problem finally fixed(6 months later), however mpg is not good nor is the fact that this engine requires premium gas, the Japanese turbos use regular gas. Also, if you buy the fully equipped model, there is no spare tire- poor design flaw. Reliability is good.
