I love my Regal turbo... best car I have ever had. It's a 2014 that I got from CarMax . Rides like a dream... doubt I will ever sell it even if I get an SUV or truck. All black, black leather , every option, moon roof. Michelin's on her. Tremendous pick up and passing. Never had brakes put on yet... only have 73, 500 miles on it. I have had people stop me in parking lots and ask about the car. I think I lucked out on this one!
I bought a 2013 GS 2 years ago with 10k on it. Ive since bought a front mount ic, 54mm turbo and 3" down pipe for it and i cant believe how much it has woken up. I absolutely love the styling of the Regal.
i had an original 1986 turbo buick regal it was a blast ! A collector took it off my hands for a honest price (he and i knew what i had ) i have been wanting another Buick again. SLEEPER for life ....buick
I bought my wife a 2014 about three years ago. Awesome car love it. Buick is higher and then Chevrolet. Unfortunately my car got in an accident and totaled so I have taken over the Buick and remember how much I enjoyed this car. Unfortunately the wife won’t let me touch it outside of oil changes. LOL. I did sneak in a K & N panel air filter and that’s about it so far. Would love to get a quality tune and get more power out of this thing. Great video and commentary sir!!
I still have my 2015 in dark blue metallic. I bought it at the end of the 2015 model year. Just over 40,000 on it. MAN to get 260HP out of 2 liters is amazing!! It has that slight turbo lag, but it's good for passing in any situation. It handles well but has a problem I don't get: On damp pavement, if I hit the gas hard, the front end jitters up and down.
The "projection" feature is for when you connect your phone via USB. I have android so mine connects with android auto! It's reallly cool. Your car might be too old, I have a 2017.

I flipped and totaled mine...same year...saved my life...hence why I'm gonna get the 2015 gs.....I dislike the grille of the 18s....I like the idea of a 6 cylinder that gives you a 4 cylinder type gas mileage..but that's a gas half full theory 🤔 but the 18s win all the way with those seats...but hey..🤷🏾♂️
My 2011 Buick Regal ecotec turbo 2.0 made it to 130,000 .Then i replaced a failed transmission , three months later the timing chain guide failed jumping the timing and shearing off all the valves. Car looks beautiful , but do I want to pay for a new motor which is actually a Volvo motor. This video is comical to me.
@@russgould707 no, I've only used 87. My understanding was that if you used lower octane, it would adapt, just having less power. Why do you ask? Not trying to be aggressive just wondering?
Put a hp tune and zzp downpipe on it, an you'll really enjoy it trust me!! Big time sleeper
I can honestly say I have never seen anyone do work to these cars... I think your right it would be bad ass

Love my 2017 regal turbo. I'm just sad they discontinued it 😢
i actually just picked up a 2012 regal turbo, i absolutely love it, ive always loved buick honestly

You are exactly right man. The Regal Turbo is so overlooked. It's too bad because they are really fun to drive!

really under rated. Once a Buick owner always a Buick Owner
Just bought one. What a treasure!
Just got one, silver 2016 with 33,833 miles on it! Must have been grandpa/grandma’s car lol 😂
Great car I have one . Even with out the tune it's fast and handsome .
bought my 1st buick regal today turbo 2.0l. Great Review!
How does this engine hold up over the long haul? I'm looking at a 2014 with 125k miles. Will it last another 100k miles?
If you take care of it and do maintenance when needed it should go the miles
The Buick that was even more overlooked is the Verano with the 2.0T.
The Buick Regal is a great driving car. The biggest reason people over look it is the cost when new.

Looking at getting a 2011 this Friday..... hopefully it don't sell before I get paid Friday....
I didn’t overlook it. Bought it.
That's awesome, how do you like it?
Currently looking to buy a used one looking for known issues
To be honest I never really seen many issues I guess because they were kind of rare used!
The engine tends to blow under 30,000. Scorched pistons, then less than 20,000 cracked pistons. Constantly eating fuel injectors, shall I continue?
@@hobohobona yes... looking at a 2011 CXL (2.4 L engine non turbo) with 80,000 miles
@@hobohobona You driving it on a race track? I’ve never had any problems with my 2016 I’m crossing my fingers. lol
I love this car 🚗 I own 1
What trim was this
Would this fit 3 carseats
that would be tight!
How did you get the messaging and the projection icons? Mine is a 2015 premium 1 if that matters
I don’t know man, send me the last 8 digits to your VIN number I’ll take a look tomorrow at what radio you have compared to the one in this video.

Get ready for piston ring replacement for oil consumption at around 90k.
Lol I don’t own one! It’s just a bad little car!
My 2016 Regal with 100,000 miles doesn't burn a drop of oil. My 2013 Outback with same number of miles on the other hand... Both well maintained.
@@chris1le Is it the turbo version or standard CXL? Im looking to purchase a 2011 model with 80,000 miles
Care to elaborate more

Thanks for these features. You slightly favor a blonde Ryan Gosling.
Ya it's a fun ass car but fuck those headlights. 1500 a piece and they're defective from the manufacturer.
its an OPEL !!
This is an Opel! You are correct! Underated? I think so
Its a vauxhaul! Lol

One of the worst cars ever made
