My good ol Buick

Bought this car in January of 2015 at little over 38,000 miles. Now I have over 97k miles after 4 years of owning the car. The good: The car is pretty comfortable on trips of about 1 to 2 hours but any longer and I find myself attempting to find a comfortable setting for the lumbar support. The acceleration is actually really good, you can spin out the tires and it even accelerates well at higher speeds. It’s very nimble in corners and has a decent 0-60. The heated seats are a dream in the winter. Driving in the winter is good just don’t go crazy. The stock tires are excellent they lasted until 2018 or 7 years since the car was oringally leased in Oct 2011 The bad: As the car ages the issues with quality start to stand out. At 43,000 the left rear wheel bearing went out and by 80k miles all 4 bears have been replaced. I’ve had both the intake and exhaust actuators replaced, a compressor, and belt tensionor. Just had the struts replaced, about to do the shocks soon. Need sway bar endlinks. Parking brake switch replaced, and I need a new caliper. Spark plugs last about 30k to 60k miles, owners manual says replace at 150k but I needed them at 60k because they were mis firing so bad. Now they are mis firing again. Other than normal maintenance the car is ok, so if you get one that has over 70k make sure spark plugs are good, engine air filter, cabin air filter as well + all the fluids, and belt. All of the parts (the things I did get done) cost about 2k and the labor is about 2.5k. Most of the repairs are easy if you want to avoid paying labor.

traded my 2012 lacrosse tour ed. for the GS. half my friends said i was nuts. the car guys, though, get it. the lax. was great and i miss the extras but the fun factor is now off the charts. the sport mode make shifts as fast as you would expect for a non sports car. brakes and suspension in sp. mode also react instantly. i still haven't figured out what the GS mode does. the ride seems rougher in GS mode than in standard mode. the mall parking lot "GAWK FACTOR" unreal. people really react to this car. every gas station visit someone complements the car. i wish it came with a/s tires instead of summer tires. the reason for not all 5's is the seat is too small for my butt

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.

2013 Regal GS with Twin Turbo

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
