Bought as a CPO from a dealer with 29k miles on it. Currently at 143k after 6 years ownership. Engine and transmission have been flawless. Oil fluid and filter changes as recommended only. Smooth quiet, comfortable, sporty looks and very good performance with the 2.0 turbo. I've regularly achieved over 30mpg until I put Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires on this past winter. The tires have awesome traction, but mileage dropped about 3 mpg overall. The only real issue is the wheel bearings. They won't last over 100k. When you get them replaced, make sure to get the hub that have the Timken bearings. It's a poor design, very difficult to remove and the cheap replacement bearings may only last about 15 to 25k. Get Timkens!!! Update 21 Oct 2022: The regal continues to run great with over 162k miles. Still no issues with burning oil. I've changed Tranny fluid several times over the years. I currently drive 30k miles a year commuting to work (162 miles round trip). I average 29 MPG with mostly highway driving. Recently changed another wheel bearing, brakes all around, and put on new rear shocks (Michigan roads destroyed the original shocks, but they were 9 years old). Still love this car! Update 4/21/23 - Gave this car to my son with 177k miles on it. Does not burn oil, rides and drives great, and the engine still has fantastic power. I would gladly buy another one, but bought a pickup truck to do truck stuff.

I had mine for four years and never needed anything besides oil-changes and tire rotation. No alignment issues despite low-profile tires and numerous NY potholes. I was very happy and only went to a new car - 2017 Buick Regal GS as an upgrade. I got AWD, newer electronics, and good trade-in value.

Put 300,000 miles on our Buick Regal. Great reliable car. We bought it pre owned with 20,000 miles and 300,000 miles know and Still nothing major ever broke. My timing belt went last month and cost about 700$ to get it all fixed but I love my Regal and hopefully when it does die I Can afford new Regal

I have driven Japanese and German cars with my last being a 2005 C230 Kompressor Sport 4 dr 6spd manual.I followed the GS from the moment the car was announced. Found my 2012 with 4500 miles and a 6spd. Wow! Loaded, this is one of the best cars I have owned. Fun to drive, great head turner and reliable. With over 30k on it the car still feels like it did at 4500. I live in a world filled with 3 series Bimmers and C300 Benzes and I love the exclusivity of owning this car. Amazes me how many young under 30 year olds love this car. Buick got it right and I hope they improve upon this great car
