2011 NEW Regal CXL Turbo in the garage.

2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Check out youtube videos, 2011 Buick Regal Turbo 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 by bahabusters for the real story on this car.
Review done on a german test track by professional drivers and compared to other german road car / sport sedans in its class.
Then test drive one. I bought the CXL Turbo with the T07 package including the ineractive drive controls with sport and tour modes.
You need the … interactive drive controls to experience the full potential of this vehicle. Video Pt 2 of 2 has factory Regal doing 140 mph on the autobahn with room to spare before backing down to 100.
My wife and I test drove comparable Acura, BMW, Volkswagon, Audi and KIA mid size sport sedans before making our purchase.
who would of thought a Buick could be a fun car?

2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
After reading all of the hype on the new 2011 Regal Turbo, I finally broke down and bought one with the T07 package on April 5, 2011.
Everything they say about this vehicle is true.
It is quite a change from most of the staid Buicks
from the past.
The styling is fantastic, and the interior is comfortable with plenty of room for my 6' frame.
With the interactive system you have almost a … sports car feel with this vehicle, and a decent mpg.
So far, so good.

MPG is a strange thing.
I have over 2,000 miles on my new Regal and both times with manual calculations at the gas pump I've had over 36 MPG.
The fuel economy is excellent and happily unexpected.
Of course, most miles were highway.
My teenage son said the back seat was very comfortable - more so than the 2001 Buick Regal that we traded in.
While on the road at a rest area, I had a … couple comment that they had been following me for miles trying to check out my car.
People I don't know have given me praise.
This is great.
Thank you Buick!
Even though this car was manufactured in Germany, I suspect that the engineering was all American (perhaps Michigander - Minded).

2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
This car is really an amazing value and design. My Buick was made in Germany. In the rest of the world it is an Opel Insignia which has been a European Car of the Year several times. I also drive a Volvo, which in my opinion, has the best seats of any car maker - hence I can't laud the Buick's seats. They are comfortable and I can drive for hours without any discomfort.
The … technology takes a bit of time to learn. If you can read a manual, watch a DVD and Google you can learn these electronics easily. I DO NOT like the electric parking brake! Call me old school, but I would be happy to have a mechanical interface return.
In emergency maneuvers, the car rivals any vehicle I have owned - BMW, Volvo, Audi, Saab, etc.... In some ways it is even better with the Stabilitrak stepping in to direct the car accordingly and allow one to avoid potential accidents without relying on anti-lock braking. The brakes are also stellar.
The interior is exceedingly quiet. I have found myself speeding more in this vehicle then probably any other I have owned. It handles well and in Sport mode is very tuned in and fast.
The headlights are also incredible - almost like daylight. I also want to praise the Harman Kardon sound system, quite amazing.
I think driving the car will speak for itself. As a certified vehicle there have been no maintenance or out of pocket costs and my local dealer is super.
