Loved the car when buying it. Love the quiet ride and smoothness on the road . Downside.... eats rear wheel hubs. 500.00 a pop when they go!! Had to change both rear hubs before 50k with normal driving. The a/c smells moldy. Took it back to Gm. They didn't fix it correctly. Went the cheapo route. evaporator needs full scrub down, they avoided that because i am sure its way involved and behind the dash. My friend has a 2014 lacrosse , same deal, sour smelling a/c and fought with the dealer on getting it fixed correctly. My 19 year old jeep smells better. Have had multiple problems with rotors wearing weird. Rubbing etc.... intake and exhaust solenoids out 2 times all before 60k. Front axle warped needed replacing. Fog light fell out , various rattles. I would not buy another. Seems like quality has slipped in the parts , this stuff should last longer. This thing is literally in the once a month. Trading it as soon as it comes back guess what its in shop again. Engine light on wow !! Timing chain gone at 80K - 960.00 repair !!!!

Purchased our first 2013 Regal Turbo Premium I in August of 2015. Black on black was beautiful inside and out. My son got in a wreck, totaled the car at 67.000 miles, but not a scratch on him. Side curtain airbags worked perfectly. We went out and bought another 2013 Turbo Premium I in Graphite Blue Metallic with a light cocoa dune interior. My wife and I love this car (both of them). I travel for work and have opportunity to drive many other vehicles as rentals (Altima, Challenger, Mustang, Optima, Camry, Accord, and others) but this is still my favorite. Great performance, comfort, and style. In the first Regal I achieved as high as 36 mpg over a 50 mile stretch (by onbrd comp). Average highway fuel economy at 70 mph is about 29 mpg. Around town is about 19 mpg, and mixed driving is about 23 or 24. Even after owning for well over a year the performance is exhilarating. 2019 update-The blue Regal is still running awesome with zero maintenance issues. It was a CPO vehicle, and everything has been great. There were two or three issues that GM fixed for us free of charge. (Ext door lock release buttons on door, heated steering wheel, radio reflash). Small issues, yet note worthy if buying without CPO. We still love this car. If you need the fastest car on the road, look elsewhere. If you want a car that performs better than the average, is fun and comfortable, this is it! Fast and fun, without the foreign car maintenance fees. This car is awesome! We've owned a 2013 Buick Regal for 4 years now. My son totaled the first one, so we bought another used Regal. Still love this car. All problems were minor and resolved quickly at dealer (radio needed reprogramming, and heated steering wheel didn't work). Still impressed with the power to weight ratio for this car. Sexy, powerful, and fun. It's not the fastest car on the road, and it shouldn't be. I would purchase again. Great value for the dollar. We've owned this car since 2016, and still love it. April 2022 - Still driving this blue Regal. At 142,000 miles with no major maintenance. (Brakes, wheel bearings, plugs and oil&filter changes) I installed new Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires back in January. I lost about 4 MPG when I did. This has been consistent with my 160 mile commute. The tires have awesome traction in snow and ice, but sad to have lost the efficiency. Overall this car has been a great vehicle I hope to get another 2 or 3 years out of. Update 21 Oct 2022: Replaced another wheel bearing, brakes all around, and rear shocks. 162k on the car and still running strong. Update 4/21/2024 - I've sold the car to my son. It's his daily driver and currently has about 200,000 miles on it. The car still runs very well. Over the winter the Alternator went out on him during a trip to Chicago. The sudden failure also cracked the and ruined the tensioner. The car does not burn oil, runs and drives very well. The interior has held up well. The wheel bearings have been good for several years now. Be sure to use Timken Bearings if you need to replace. They just last longer. Current tires are Michelin X-Climate II's. They perform better then the X-Ice tires for winter driving, and are perfectly suited for summer driving too! Highly recommended. Over 60K miles and tread looks good. We've been driving this car since 2016. Purchased used with 29k miles on it. One of the best cars I've ever purchased. Not flawless, but still an outstanding value for the money.

I purchased a 2013 Buick Regal Turbo Premium 1, with a sunroof and the chrome wheels for $16000.00 in January 2017. It had 5800 miles and was in showroom condition. We drove it to Florida and put over 3000 miles on it. I flogged it pretty hard going to Ft Myers, often exceeding 90 mph and rarely going under 80 mph. The car performed flawlessly. My overall mileage was 26.2 mpg according to the trip computer. On the way home I did one tank of gas without exceeding 72 mph and got 32.6 mpg. Very comfortable seats. Good performance. The ride was a little stiff but the handling was great. Lots of trunk space. The instrument lighting would sometimes stay in darkness mode making it very difficult to see the radio screen. The cup holder could not hold 2 large McDonalds cups next to each other without them leaning. I removed the cup holder liner and that helped, but it was still a problem. Like all cars now it takes awhile to understand all the electronic controls, but, compared to my wifes's Madza and a lot of my friends cars, it was relatively easy. I wish it had a backup camera, but, the backup alert system on the Premium 1 is pretty good. Beautiful car. A lot of car for the money.

The Gas Mileage is not that good since it has a Turbo Engine. I averaged 23-24 mpg overall with City and Highway miles driven. The Regal sits low and is difficult to get in and out of if you are older and have knee issues.

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.
