2012 Buick Regal GS Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! KZbin's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we will take an up close and personal in depth look at the 2012 Buick Regal GS. During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of KZbin!

In germany this is called a Opel Insignia OPC and I think it's by far the best car they've ever build ! Great review Kyle !

[@Thesuperblack22]

Ive been watching vids of the old GS's all day, and now you upload this Yes

[@sst195]

Hello Kyle. I'm a 17 years old boy from Romania, Europe, and I'm watching your car videos for about 2 years. I just want to say you that I am a very passionate for cars just like you and I appreciate what you do and I wish that maybe oneday, I will make such more videos about cars just like you, but here in Romania we don't have such more car dealers. Anyway, we can get the driver license only after we celebrate 18 years old and that's pretty annoying. Luck still!

[@Burzum325]

Man, you're videos have come a long way. Keep up the good work!

[@1KonArtis]

I'm 23 and want a Buick. Been loyal since 16 and my 98 Regal will never die! :D

[@DEdge1221]

Thank you for the video on the Regal GS, Kyle! Good job!

[@JoshJW11]

I love these GS's!

[@skeelow2]

Glad to see most are smart enough to recognize this as an Opel or Vauxhall. I like it a lot.

[@aprebby889]

Really loving this car !

[@Die.Gruenen.sind.unser.Ende.]

I love your vids man keep it up!!!!!!!!!

[@hyperpyretic]

Nice choice Kyle, great job as usual!

[@Aldairion]

Okay that's final. This is going to be my next car. LOVE IT! Thanks for reviewing this one man.

[@brandonprouse9188]

How did you like it? Thinking about buying one

[@user-kc8yo9yy7o]

@@brandonprouse9188me too now🙏🏾

[@dave11686]

Great video as always Kyle!

[@rockerdriver]

What an invigorating engine note!

[@StreetersGarage]

Had one as a rental about 4 weeks ago. Very nice.

[@SantiagoFigueroaRojo1999]

Awesome video kyle

[@ziadoma]

best auto evaluator thank you

[@blazzing4321]

Love it!

[@East17A]

One of the best Buick design ever this car design is stunning I love it to bad I can’t afford to buy it

[@mben456]

Nice American luxury with a dose of German engineering. Good video, as always Kyle. Keep up the good work!

[@mooseymikey82]

Yes Please, I want one. What a a sharp car. Can't wait until we get one at the dealership. Being a lot attendant has its perks.

[@shsjr2010]

wow never really been a fan of buick but i am very impressed with this and the buick verano.

[@SantiagoFigueroaRojo1999]

Awesome Video Kyle!! =)

[@IndianaStreetScene]

My father has this car. He's only like 40. But sometimes I get to drive it and this car is FAST and you can hear the turbo whistle! love this car we have it in the red tintcoat

[@chucksterlive]

Great Video! I liked the edited-in narration mixed with the on-camera. A feature packed vehicle and a 6-speed manual!! How'd you manage to catch Heart's "Crazy On You" twice in the same video??? LOL.

[@Ferrari360Spyder]

Wheels look amazing.

[@vonversace]

the Buick looks really nice, i like the vid

[@brandontrongale4245]

I have a 2012 regal GS 6 Speed Manual transmission and I am 22 years old. awesome car, I highly recommend it. very comfortable, fun, and the power is great.

[@jgafuegobeats]

+Brandon Trongale is it reliable though? any repair problems? im thinking of buying one

[@brandonprouse9188]

Any problems?

[@Michael3752]

Buick has come light years forward in terms of aesthetics and innovation over the last 5 or so years!

[@Goldenrod636]

I just love the ports on the hood.

[@paintedbird]

Great video, neat car.

[@dozbubba1]

Buick stepping up their game.

[@cm18cam]

This car looks great. If I had the money I would buy one.

[@112Medemblik]

nice vid & design! :)

[@benildamartinez4121]

I'm 14 and I want a Buick Regal. In my mind this and the Hyundai Sonata are the two prettiest cars on the road, but I'm leaning more toward this as my first car.

[@MoreGrievances]

Let me remind you of a Buick in the eighties called a Grand National, which continues to be competitive even today. Ground breaking extreme performer in its time, affordable and marketed to younger buyers. It happened before, it can happen again.

[@michaellovely6601]

Plus, the 1987 Buick Grand National was extremely popular with the FBI.

[@mafiaosobob]

dam thats a high quality vehicle right there

[@Bret3030]

Love the rims

[@Aenigmaa]

Plus, it's always fun when someone who doesn't know about remote start walks by the car when you start it remotely. Their usual reaction is "wtf ghosts"

[@krislovercar]

love the car

[@eldo59]

Nice! But gotta love the classic G-Body Turbo.

[@misterjgl]

beautiful

[@Audi123000]

@saabkyle04 Thanks mate for your answer. I just wanted to say that i love your videos and keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@PL4YERTWO]

You are correct. This Buick is a rebadged Opel Insignia which was designed and engineered in Germany. Some people in the comments are calling it the American answer to the 3 series and A4. But it's not, not by a longshot. Still though, highest quality Buick ever.

[@sitigerm]

Great overview of a great car! P.S> Why did you cover the model of the Canon SLR with tape???

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Kyle, love your videos. Have you considered getting a lavalier microphone that you can wear on your shirt when you make your videos? It would greatly enhance the sound plus if you put a windscreen on it it would cut out most of the wind thats troubled some of your videos.

[@722stirlingmoss]

my favorite car....

[@Spring794]

I had a love hate relationship with my 89 Buick Regal Custom. It ran flawlessly, always started in any condition, had a good engine, but everything else went wrong.

[@TheGetawayer]

@saabkyle04 : Your welcome, Kyle ! I have driven many Insignias but the OPC is really the only one I would like to review on day. In germany the car has 325 bhp, which makes it the fastest road car Opel has ever made...Greetings from germany

[@ibold1000]

true. a good mix of American and German technology and engineering

[@BassWhiz92]

Beauuuutiful car

[@ilovecars1996]

buick's sure come a long way

[@younginkd]

they should really make an updated grand national with recent 3800 engines and turbos with this regal body, would be an amazing car

[@ahramsong]

best buy in this class

[@blvckfiretrvpfire15]

Nice

[@UltimateCARNUT]

Time to trade in that roadmaster Kyle!

[@rafapenson]

I think this car's central multimedia with a lot of buttons, its the best ideal for a car's central multimedia, less screen and more buttons..

[@jammydodgerman]

Really want one of these! The Vauxhall Insignia VXR though, it sounds better :p

[@moiseswin]

Kyle,please try and do a review of the new ml 350.

[@derbigpr500]

@PRODRIFTER97 Because it is a Opel Insignia. Its just assembled by Buick for US market.

[@Sizzleweezy]

I have an autostart because I live in Alaska and it gets to -40 and sometimes colder. I let it run for about 5 minutes before I start to drive around.

[@Dr_Xyzt]

What a cool car. Everything about it makes sense for an adult owner. That glove-box will probably fit a Glock with a 33 round magazine, and five 1911's. The speakers in the trunk seem to be pretty beefy... The wheels are cool. The exhaust is neat, the overall design is neat, really.. I'm 6'2, so I can't say I dig the space, but otherwise, it's a really neat car!

[@seththeamazing2563]

The dodge v8 R/T is sick man i got one today started it it was like a muscle, i think it is but its a sedan.

[@Barobran92]

I'm pretty sure that the brake lights and rear turn signals are where the rear fog lights are in the Euro model, because they are oddly placed.

[@michaelssocks]

I see where you are coming from drew. I'm 26 and drive a bmw 3 series. I am looking into the Regal GS and heavily considering it due to the fact the up keep i'm sure is much less than a BMW. I will say I haven't had the chance to test drive one so does it handle like a true German car. I would imagine it won't feel like a BMW but if comes close I would deff choose the GS.

[@Tcatracing]

This Engine has a flatter power band than the 2.8 in the OPC, we had it on the SRX and it was peaky and guzzled gas, not to mention we are getting a power upgrade when the regal gets the malibu and ATS' all new Ecotec II 2.0 T

[@Ninjahinfany]

I sw the picture, and I was like hellll nooo! that's the insignia.. I saw you're comment and I was like, damn I'm not the first to notice.

[@prestooooo]

@saabkyle04 YA you did a good job of making it work don't mind him

[@daewooparts]

@saabkyle04 do a review between both regals ,some are made in germany ,and some are made in canada ,the ones with the front bumper license plate cutout is made in germany ,the solid front bumpers are the canadian built regals

[@Lucky4mvp16]

I'm 18 and I want a Buick.

[@Crespusk8]

Opel Insignia OPC

[@123chunhou]

Third!!! Nice luxury car

[@caprisun2k1]

does the 2012 have the LED running lights? I couldn't tell from this vid

[@PetarVN]

Insignia/regal is the best looking opel/buick ever made!

[@pskittle488]

Great vid, Kyle. It must've been rather breezy that day, huh? Lot of V.O. Nice car, but it looks like there is room for improvment. engine/mileage figures hurt the overall package. Also, first time I've seen Pirelli (excuse the spelling) tires on a Buick... from the factory, interesting.

[@CeeStyleDj]

Wouldn't you get a better ride quality and possible better 0-60 time with the 19's vs. the 20's due to more sidewall and less rolling inertia?

[@Alex91150]

@TheGetawayer We also have it in France. But OPC is not common at all here, you mostly see 2.0 CDTI 130 hp. Great car, but I heard they had reliability problems.

[@tonythan1806]

I've followed all your videos on KZbin, it's better when you attach subtitle for videos, thank you :D

[@gerfall]

I'm deciding between this or the Subaru WRX. My grandmother worked for GM so with employee discounts they will cost about the same. Tough decisions..

[@CSP2023]

Vauxhall Insignia SRI, Middle Trim Level, add on options so it is as Equipped as the Buick Regal GS and according to The Vauxhall Website as of 12June2013 you are looking at Paying £30,704.00

[@kmann1994]

Kyle...what are your future car purchasing plans? Thinking about a Mustang again maybe after you graduate? :)

[@gentle285]

@mrwilk12 No, it's not the OPC. The Regal GS is front wheel drive and only has 275 hp.

[@sabufinisher]

kyle could you please make a review about the 2012 NISSAN PATROL if you could also answer if you can or cant please.

[@robertofalero02]

In Europe is the opel insignia OPC and in the UK is the vauxhall insignia VXR

[@DEMONTmx]

LOL , dude im 18 and i will most likely buy this car, i mean have you seen it in person? its awesome, its elegant, its "kinda sporty" its freaking awesome, i think Buicl wont have any problems bringing younger audience to buy their cars

[@bumblebeeiscamaro]

300TH!!!!!!

[@timothywells4027]

All it is, is a luxury version of a Chevy Cruze like another person commented. Still a nice ride.

[@justiflyer2]

no, that is the Verano. There is no variant of this vehicle across the GM American Lineup

[@jaydenthompson1747]

Justin McKune no

[@brotherputin3776]

Wrong video, bud. That’s the verano. This is the Opel Insignia based Buick

[@Motordiciton]

@commander316 the European versions do. The Vauxhall Insignia VXR/Opel Insignia OPC has 4WD and about 320bhp ish

[@MoreGrievances]

Maybe you don't want to drive a Buick but any automobile can attract any buyer for many reasons and ultimately design is what sells cars.

[@daand12]

Opel Insignia!!!!

[@TehRogiBalboa]

You can even see it on the Opel-website...

[@PATjA15]

If this wasn't badged as a Buick i'd definitely buy it...

[@TehRogiBalboa]

I know but that doesn't change the fact that it was still built by Opel in Germany and then rebadged for Buick. Therefore germans actually did allow that to come out of factory.

[@ZingHighFive]

@PATjA15 i thought it could've been that but it really offsets the symmetry in the front design.. not a fan lol.

[@seanya9989]

Kyle, I think you made a slight editing error at 8:11 and 8:33. You started talking about the braking distance, then finally told the braking distance after you stated the MPG. Just thought you'd like a heads up =P

[@Argantonis]

Does the GS-button turn the instruments red?

[@miloskujovic]

in EU yes it is but in US is Buick Regal GS and in UK is Vauxhall Insignia

[@fantomtuba]

I can see bits of Grand Prix/G6 in this.

[@ZingHighFive]

what is the grey piece on the air intake at 4:41 on the right side? is it an anti theft piece or something?

[@viktormladenic3561]

Is it me or is this Opel Insignia OPC with Buick badge.

[@supravsg35]

the insignia opc has 321 hp and uses a 2.8 turbo engine, and is awd, but yes pretty much the rest of it is
