I’ve concluded that it’s more common if you have rings on your hands. My wedding band is unobtrusive and I mostly open the door with my right hand anyway. My car has basically no scratches. My wife has a huge diamond on one hand and a large turquoise on the other.  Her car looks like Freddie Kruger had a field day…

It’s not recommended for the GS. It is recommended for the turbo 4 in the lower models.

Not true. Premium is not required for 100% power in the GS. The trubo 4-cylinder in the lower models are rated using Premium.

I absolutely love it. Of course I was coming from driving a 2008 Dodge Dakota and was tired of driving truck. The interior is extremely comfortable. I cross shopped it with the Stinger GT and although the Kia is faster it’s just not nearly as refined. Not that the Regal has a super luxurious interior, but it’s…

Regular is all that is required. No premium necessary. Although I did just get a letter from GM in the mail yesterday to take my GS into the dealer and they will remove the incorrectly placed Premium Fuel Required sticker that is under the gas cap. I looked and sure enough it is there.

Weight is still listed incorrectly. 3,796 lbs is the correct weight. I don’t understand why so many places list it incorrectly. Even Buick’s own materials have it at 4,270 lbs in some places and 3,796 in others. 

I’ve read somewhere (here maybe?) that that is likely the approach GM will take especially with the sale of Opel, which is the source of the current Regal. The Buick cars don’t sell well but the SUV’s do. The dealer that got my Regal for me has no intentions of stocking any because he still has several 2017 Lacrosse’s…

They come out with a Grand National I’m trading in my GS. Don’t care the loss I take on it.

Great review and I’ll add that it aligns well with my own experiences driving the GS for a few months and just shy of 4k miles.

Why would you let them take your trade before you had the car you want to buy? You got extremely lucky. They had all the leverage.

It’s much cheaper to do a run of 1000 cars with leather and sunroof than it is to do 500 with both, 250 with just leather, and 250 with just sunroof. A hell of a lot easier to forecast as well when there are less options.

No, they should offer the same percentage, not same dollar value. So it should be $5214.29 off of a $73,000 car.

Stinger is not better on price. I cross shopped them. The fit and finish is not great. It’s typical Kia level. Kia has greatly improved over the years but it’s still subpar, especially for the price of the Stinger.

You can afford you gift someone a $100k car? Cool, that means you can also afford to gift them the cash to cover the taxes.

Skip both and get a Regal GS.

Not as cool as these dubs and low pros on the minivan. Don’t let kids crimp yo’ street cred.

$50 beauty store card for her. $50 liquor store card for him. That’s my go-to never-fail gift. It’s always appreciated.

Set it once and forget it works only if you are the only one driving your car. The wife and I have 3 cars and regularly switch up what we drive. If it weren’t for electric seats with memory we’d go insane with the first world problem of having to constantly readjust our seats and find the right positions.

I saw two cars on the highway just last night that didn’t have taillights on. Just DRL. Idiots.

I’ve spent several months over the years in Germany for work. Never picked up the language. Two months in Brazil and I’m passable with Portuguese. The difference? Nobody speaks English in Brazil. It’s too bad my trips to Brazil are over with.
