2014 Buick Regal Turbo Posted by EGD [Email] (#663) [Profile/Gallery] (more from EGD) on Mon, 4 Aug 2014 10:19:56 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
As an add-on to the discussion a few threads below, I just spent two weeks in New England and Quebec with a 2014 Buick Regal Turbo. Picked up in Boston and dropped in Providence after a loop up through New Hanpshire, Vermont, Quebec City, and Bar Harbor, with a bunch of Mass and RI day trips thrown in.
It had all the bells and whistles including sunroof -- I think it would be a Premium 3 if they even use that term on the 2014s. Overall impression over 2146 miles is that it's a great car. I'd buy one with a 6-spd manual.
Two-liter turbo with a six-speeed auto gave mileage in the high-20s, plenty of room in the front seats and adequate in the rear. Handled very well, decent brakes, very nice 50-70 acceleration.
The downside was getting in and out of the rear seat and rear seat headroom for an adult. That needs to get fixed. And the ugly (IMO) water fall grill work. And the climate controls were not sensitive to the touch so you had to hit the temp control several times to change the AC temp.
The wife hated it because it was a Buick. Or at least that's what she wants me to think. She'll hate it even more if one shows up in the driveway at some point, but it would have to be a GS.
