Never thought I'be be buying a Buick but i really love this car. It drives great. If you live in snowy New England, this car is a great way to have great traction without having to have an SUV. This car matches up well with the Audi A4 at almost $10,000 less. And it uses regular gas!

Malibu lease was up. Looked at Buick and fell in love with AWD Regal. Beautiful, sporty, solid ride. MPG is a little disappointing but AWD is worth it to me. The car handles superbly.

I traded my 2011 Buick Regal in on this 2016 because I loved my 2011 so much. My 2011 was not a turbo & it was a dark gray with black interior. My wife and I wanted a lighter color outside with a light color interior also. We bought it in July 2016 when Buick was giving 20% off on certain models. We used our GM points from our GM card and the discount on the car listed for 31,000 we paid $23,300 for it. I could not pass up that deal up. The color was Champagne Silver with cashmere leather interior. I love the changes & improvements they have made since 2011. My 2016 drives smoother and is quieter & the turbo engine is great. It is real easy to use all of the features this car has to offer. I can get in this car & drive it on a long trip & feel comfortable the whole time. This is only one the second Buick I have owened. I have been driving since 1972 & have owened a lot of cars & trucks over the years both foreign & domestic. We have 5 vehicles now & the Buick is by far my favorite to drive. I have test driven other mid sized sedans but I like the Regal best.

We owned a 2012 base Regal with 73,000 that saved my life in a high speed side impact traffic accident. We found a 2016 Regal Tii Premium II with low mileage at our local Buick dealer and took it for a test drive. We were immediately impressed with the obvious improvements in the Buick Regal Tii. We were amazed at the quiet and comfort and the added horsepower of the turbo was a great plus. The Bose stereo system, navigation, blue tooth, Wi-Fi and such and this feels like the car of my retirement dreams. An American brand car that looks better, maintenance affordable and better priced then most of the Audi, BMW etc. over priced foreign models. Thanks Buick for making the car that saved my life and our new best loved car, 2016 Buick Regal Tii. JRGAR Fast forward to 2020. We still love this car. 40,000 miles now. No problems. Enjoying some some fast starts with the turbo is great. New tires now and will keep this car for another year. Hope to get a great trade in and buy a newer Buick Regal. JRGAR

This model is exceptional in every way except for ok gas mileage. Limited menu scrolling, controls are truly intiative, acceleration and handling makes this a pleasure to drive. Initial lease was FWD, 2nd model is AWD. Love this car!

Bought 2016 Regal new..was pleased with the car and enjoyed the turbo engine. I drive slot for work. My car rolled 84000 this month. It has been at dealer 3 times. 2 bad coils. Then it overheated and blew rear head gasket. Luckily had purchased extended warranty. Then 20 days after head gasket replaced-car overheated again. Dealer seems surprised I am beyond upset. No word on why yet. All maintenance done at dealer!

Excellent Value and great sedan. The only complaints are related to front seat comfort on longer trips and rear seat comfort for most people all of the time.

Massive failure in a 2016 Buick Regal

Four months ago I leased a 2016 Buick regal 4 cylinder turbo. I thought it was a little overpriced and the ride a little too stiff. Also the blind spot monitoring in the side view mirrors lacks an audible signal which I have in my other cars and has literally saved my life. Still, it looked good inside and out , and my wife loved the red paint job, so I went ahead. WRONG!. After leasing Hondas and Toyotas for the past 15 years without a hint of a problem, in less than 1500 miles--THE TRANSMISSION BLEW! Now I don't want the repaired car- at 79 years old I don't need the hassle of another problem sometime in the next 3 years of the lease. But of course Buick and the dealer make you sweat blood to get a new one, so I guess I'm stuck, AVOID MY MISTAKE! Stick with the Japanese cars!

I bought this car cause it had 29000.miles I love the interior. But after driving it on back roads (where I live) I can feel an hear every bump it has a constant noise I can hear from the motor, it’s smooth on smooth roads, but my 2004 Cadillac drive smoother. Now I’m stuck with this car, I got rid of my 2016 Buick Regal, for months we had to deal with water pooling in the trunk, the authorized Buick dealer did everything to stop the leaks, my husband was livid when he figured out they drilled holes in bottom of trunk to rid it of water, ( dealer denied this) but Buick knows exactly how many holes in trunk. We finally got tired of dealing with the people who sold it to us, an traded the car in for a Caddy

My car now has 105k miles, I’ve made at least 100 roundtrips of about 300 miles and I’ve never been concerned about it failing me. It’s very comfortable, has a lot of features at a fraction of the cost, including that amazing Turbo. I’ve only done maintenance, 0 repairs so far, actually the info system is kind of funky but it still works. I love this car.

I purchased a 2016 Buick Regal with over 94,000 miles in September 2022 after my 2014 Nissan Sentra was deemed a total loss after someone backed into the front of the car. I noticed right away the Buick would shake a little, but I did not think much about it. Last December, the Buick would not start after we had record breaking cold weather. After a new battery was put in, she was running fine. In early March, I noticed the car would not accelerate and felt like she was going to stall while I was driving. The repair shop tightened the intake manifold bolts, and she was driving fine on the way home. A few days later, I started the car and struggled to get the car to go 10 mph and go over speed bumps. Once again, she was not accelerating and feeling like she was going to stall. A new mass air flow sensor was put in, and she was driving well again. In May, I took the car on a 200 mile round out of town trip. The car was picking up speed too much/too fast and could struggle to slow down while driving on the interstate. When I took the exit off the interstate, the car started shaking hard and felt like it was going to stall on me. On the way home, I turn off the interstate on an exit, and the car once again, started shaking hard and felt like it was going to stall. The car was not picking up speed on the way home and was struggling the curves going through the canyon area and the road construction area. About a week later, I noticed it was wanting to stall while sitting in the driveway after I started the engine. The repair shop put in a second mass air flow sensor, and the car was running fine. I finally got fed up with the car. Paid off the loan, and use the car for a trade-in. My 2000 Ford Taurus with close to 176,000 miles on her would have handled the round trip better. The gas mileage on the same trip with the Taurus was the same with the Buick Regal. I regret getting the Nissan Sentra and Buick Regal and should have kept the Ford Taurus. I now own a 2015 Toyota Yaris with over 123,000 miles on her, and she is a dream compared to the Buick.

I just wished I test drove this car more I would have relized how much road noise there is and not enough leg room for a tall driver I bought this used with 5000 miles and payed way to much but a lot less than new, can not see paying over $30000 for a new one no way this car fills like a cheap economy car something like a Kia or Hyundia not a Buick all I can say is if you are looking at one of these cars test drive it for at least a hour on the interstate most see what I mean about road noise

Great car teansmission needed work after 17000 miles and calipers for front brakes.headlights are weak dealer had no fix or recommendation. after all a good sporty car just dont service at dealers that have ties with law enforcement as they do hacking/vandalism to cars with dealers help. issues with car solved prts were replaced by law enforcement making them useless. wiring changed by pd and transmission reworked through dealer not to shift 456 gears.thorson/reynolds
