I have been the owner of a Volvo S40, a VW Passat, and a Toyota Camry. All I have to say is LOOK OUT. The new Regal that I now have rides, handles and is quieter than all of them. The engine is a little underpowered but cruises down the highway @ 75-80 mph with no problem. The transmittion shifts are smooth and quick. The seating is very supportive and comfortable. Controls for the radio and cruise control are easy to use. The most impressive feature of the vehicle is the ride and how quiet it is on the road. I believe these to be as good as any high line vehicle out there.
Be Careful!

The transmission has nearly killed us several times while merging into traffic. It has also just quit working, requiring On Star to reset the computer. Though nothing can be found at the dealer, several excuses have been offered. We drove several different Regals while test driving and one of those did the same thing but we thought it might have been us, well it wasn't. The car doesn't down shift while slowing down so when you go to accelerate there is a long pause (very long). The bad part is you never know when it will do it which will lull you into a false sense of security. The rear taillights look like they were assembled for 2 different cars and the paint is chipping horribly.
Buyer Beware- Replacement parts are EXPENSIVE

My husband is a mechanic and has the opportunity to purchase customers cars if they don't want to fix them. Timing chain went out on a 2011 Buick Regal. We bought the car for $300. We fixed the chain and everything seems to run fine. It really is a sleek, sporty car! We noticed the drivers side light assembly had standing water in the lens so we drilled a small hole to empty the water. The light assembly is all in one and of course needed replaced. Little did we know that the 2011 headlight assembly for HID lights was only designed and made for one year. Meaning salvage parts are non-existent. A single headlight assembly is going to cost over $800. Know what you are getting yourself into and look up replacement parts before purchasing a vehicle. Why Buick decided to do this we don't know. And if anyone is wondering Halogen and HID projector lights are not the same. The wiring harness is completely different so you have to put an HID back in it. No exceptions. UGH!
My second Buick is small and has half the cylinders

I loved my Buick Lucerne with the 8-cylinder engine, it was huge, the ride was like sitting on a sofa, really comfortable, the back seats had space for two huge football players. I sold it after 4 1/2 years being a really reliable car. So I bought another Buick. But the Lucerne was rather big for my garage and I am usually driving alone or with my wife, so I do not need the huge legroom the back. I wanted a smaller car and lthe Regal looked nicer than the LaCrosse. I also liked that it had firmer seats. And I got a great deal, so I bought it now. I choose the non-turbo version as it is fast enough (my wife has the same engine in her Chevy SUV) and it is more economical.
Not your Grandfather's or Father's Buick

I'm pleasantly surprised with all aspects of this car. I was looking at Acura TSX and gently used RL, Volvo S60, Audi A4/VW CC and used BMW 3 series. There's plenty of room for 4 and their stuff. The trunk seems bigger than all other cars I shopped. Feature for feature, it was by far the best value. Seats are supportive and very comfortable, took a 500 mile trip and averaged 31 mpg, including some stop and go traffic. An excellent consideration for those shopping entry level luxury cars in the under $40K class.
