Major seven hour trip in total comfort for both of us. Not one ache or pain or "I gotta get out of this car" see full Buick Regal review |

Since the car came from Opel (EU), it is naturally made for smaller fold. The rear is comfortable, just a little lacking in legroom at times. see full Buick Regal review |

With 270HP/295FTLB of torque coming from a turbo 4, this car wow'd me. Also, with a tune, the car can put down 300HP/330FTLB, which was a nice boost. see full Buick Regal review |

Never felt I needed more HP with the very slick stick, but if this car what the Europeans have (AWD 300HP),and can only imagine the increase of the fun factor. see full Buick Regal review |

On paper it has more power and torque but the engine is very languid and unwilling to accelerate well. More engine noise than in the Camry too. If I get more noise, I want more acceleration. see full Buick Regal review |

Unfortunately, this car came with the 20" wheels (gorgeous!!!) but with summer only tires. I live in WI, so snow is a problem. I will need to purchase a new set of wheels and winter tires for when the snow comes. see full Buick Regal review |
