2014 Buick Regal GS vs LaCROSSE 0-60 MPH Mashup Review

[@MeguVusion]

It seems that every time I look up a car that I just recently started liking and wanted to do some research on, TFL Car is always helping me out. Because I literally looked up the Buick Regal about 5 minutes ago and now I see this. Thank you! I love y'all's reviews! You guys like what I like and that helps me research cars.

[@ShawnGattis]

I want the Regal Gs. Its so beautiful. I cant afford a decent Buick Grand National. But one of these will do. 👍👍👍

[@nicholassamayoa]

Buick making some fine cars

[@lario1030]

💯💯

[@sinbreaker2885]

I used to associate Buick with old people's cars, but I have to admit they look pretty nice now.

[@fatmax2195]

They look more modern, but nothing tops the classic Supercharged 3.8 V6 they used to have.

[@mrburnz22]

Buicks are sick

[@KevinHoertZu]

the buick regal is called (or selled) by Opel in most of europe. it has a 2.8 v6 with turbo and 325hp. Opel Insignia OPC

[@robertwilliams4493]

I have the same exact car 2016 gs Turbo

[@rainsweeps]

Nice review. I'm fan of the Lacrosse, refined and beautiful.

[@Joe-g7i2i]

I have the 2012 Regal GS 6 speed manual. Front-wheel drive 270 horse. I've had it for 6 years.. amazing car love it.😁👌

[@ShawnGattis]

Sell it to me! 😂😂 I want one. Especially since everybody wants $25,000 for a Grand National. I love the Gs. Styling and performance! 👍👍👍

[@TomCastello1]

I bought a brand new LaCrosse fwd with a V6 but almost bought a Regal GS and I'm glad I bought the LaCrosse, it has way more room and is way more comfortable to drive. Seems like the interior build quality is better and it's much more quiet also when driving on the highway. Well worth the small amount extra I paid for a loaded one. I was iffy about buying a Buick but being the most non bias person you will ever meet I bought it anyways and I like it better then my mothers CTS and my buddies Merc. The only thing I don't like about it is the intillilink software. They should have stayed away from a flash based system and my god why does it always play the first song on my iPhone song list when I plug the damn thing in.. Anyway overall I would purchase another Buick after this, it has changed my mind and I've only owned it for 2 months.

[@drgoodspd6382]

4 years later....update?

[@mrburnz22]

Pls pls pls update i wanna buy one

[@stevenzeletski1730]

@@mrburnz22 sorta hard to update since Buick doesn't make either model any longer.

[@jimmy_b_wp]

Just bought a used 2013 Lacrosse (87k miles) and it's in immaculate condition inside and out. I love pretty much everything about this vehicle!

[@Allaboutagoddess]

I have a 2014 buick regal... And i love it... Its very fast

[@LlyleHunter]

I had a Honda Accord that went through three transmissions in just five years. I've gone back to domestic cars. To answer an age old question, Yes I really would rather have a Buick!

[@ShawnGattis]

In the end, Japanese transmissions are more reliable than American made transmissions. I do find it disturbing that you went through that many transmissions in such a small period of time. 🤔 wow!

[@LlyleHunter]

@@ShawnGattis Honda had a bad generation of Accord based vehicles that effected the Accords, Pilots, TL, CL, and MDX models. Unfortunately they treated their Acura customers much better than their Honda customers when problems arose.

[@teebaby9884]

Thats alot of Transmissions in such little time

[@LlyleHunter]

@@teebaby9884 It was a nightmare for me. I hadn’t had such a bad experience since I started buying new cars after college. I haven’t bought a Honda since. Not even their lawnmower.

[@isthianthomas6386]

@@ShawnGattis usually that's the case but Buicks tend to be the most reliable American cars

[@kundealter]

in germany the regal is called 'Opel Insignia' The biggest Engine is a 2.8liter V6 Turbo with 325hp and AWD. 0-60mph in

[@mragnostic603]

That is at sea level. The air is thin up in the mountains.

[@La-yt1wr]

That's literally my favorite V6 from GM by far.

[@ShawnGattis]

America always gets the lower tune version of EVERYTHING! Especially when it comes to Japanese cars. Come on USA, let the horses run fast and free !!!!! Nothing like good ol' American muscle cars!

[@SgtPickledic]

That is odd, i raced a newer Regal GS in my 2014 Lacrosse, i fucking stomped him. You can do a lot more with the 3.6 VVT as well.

[@TFLcar]

Nathan is in Minnesota reviewing the new KIA Soul.

[@9493waltbabyluv]

@Gary Creely the Lacrosse is a huge boat of a sedan and the Regal is supposed to be Buick's smaller sedan with the top sports package. I'd expect a much larger gap.

[@timblaker4984]

Roman and Nathan,when is Diamond in the Rough returning?.Really like your reviews and specialty pieces.I see cars on Forza Friday and enjoy every video.

[@Creelyblades]

Why so excited ("seriously impressed") about the LaCrosse doing 7.78 and not so impressed by the regal ("not bad") doing it a half second faster?

[@abidadar2217]

Gary Creely he probably thinks regal is a smaller car and should be much faster

[@TFLcar]

yes, coming this week.

[@Moyerboy78]

those are good times....and both very nice looking cars...they look great on the road, nothing like the old 1990's Lesabre and century....LOL I will look at Buick seriously when I get a new family ride next year.

[@TechDrivenDaniel]

cant wait for the Regal GS review.. i own a 2013 GS and it does need a faster spooling turbo but with a tune and a couple of mods it does help

[@ShawnGattis]

7 years later. How is that Buick holding up. Im looking to get a Gs. I love the styling!

[@AnsonHowe01]

Are You testing the Cars Uphill? Because it seems so in the outside views!

[@Woodcote]

I'd love to see TFL do a full review of the Regal GS AWD

[@ShawnGattis]

Excellent car! I want one.... since Buick Grand Nationals are insanely priced. But it goes to show how far Buick has come, and how Buicks from 1987 are not only still on the road, but hold their value. 👍👍👍 Im a fan!

[@apalsenberg]

I would love to see the differences between the Buick and the Opel/Vauxhall versions.

[@MrDeezy210]

Are you guys doing a lacrosse review?

[@BoberMcBoberson]

The Verano is 6.3 inches shorter, 300lbs lighter, depending on options about 6k cheaper. The Regal gets a more powerful optional engine, has optional All wheel drive. And a few more options in general.

[@lewishamse6]

looking forward to the regal review

[@Laxnut1082]

So is my 2012 GS, but it's tuned and runs on E85 ;-) Dynoed at 278whp(330crankHP) and 320wtq(360Tq). I've posted videos of all dyno runs.

[@BoberMcBoberson]

The average age of the Regal owner is 56, (43 for the GS model). For the Verano, the average age is 57, and the numbers for both are dropping.

[@MrBling21]

ive got the most AMAZING mashup for you guys. A mashup bewteen the C7 corvette, Jaguar F-Type and the 911

[@DesuVR]

Both very nice cars.

[@maegris113233]

I did a 0-60 in my GS in the same fashion - right off of idle. It had 3 quarters of a tank of fuel, and only 3K miles on it (I've noticed that GM engines open up power wise and fuel mileage wise at 5K) In any event, it's quite a bit quicker than yours. It can be seen here: /watch?v=TyIKU7_Z1Rg

[@留岛不留畜生杀光日杂]

This car is very designed, I like this kind of car very much. I bought a Buick Yinglang 1.3t from China, 0-62mph accelerated to 8 seconds, quite satisfied with all aspects. This is the first car in my life. I love it. 😍😄

[@bizcraft]

Unnecessary test for Buick....but still thumbs up for your review!

[@1withtheall]

I just bought a Lacrosse which is what brought me here lol

[@michaelj1232]

being honest, i have a 2011 lacrosse ,cxl awd loaded , and its pretty fast, fast enough for me, but what is the weight difference between the two vehicles.??

[@TrumpsaTerroristChangeMyMind]

These cars are at the low 6second range how is it you managed to get them to go so slow? lol we’re you hauling 1000lbs of weight?😂

[@ryanprocunier8538]

agree lol

[@FoodyTunes]

When are they posting the reviews!??!

[@Trance88]

I'd take the Regal, hands down. I think it's sold as an Opel in Germany.

[@paddyron1]

Hey Roman, Which car would you buy with your own money. ATS or Regal GS.

[@MrTheMiguelox]

according to your way of thinking the lacrosse is for 105 and the previous lucerne for 150?

[@TFLcar]

Tomorrow

[@kamilwojcik3881]

This Opel looks nice 😂

[@DMCarReviews]

They would have shown the same time, but the GS was on an incline down.

[@DamonBrown]

What's the difference between the Verano and the Regal?

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

i love both these cars

[@cereid85cr]

Next time do Buick LaCrosse vs. Toyota Avalon and Regal vs Toyota Camry. Since Pontiac is gone, Buick really does need a 2 door GNX rear wheel drive sport car. Don't just talk about it Buick, JUST DO IT!!!!

[@RomainSandt]

This is Europe vs US philosophy Cars inside the same brand. The Regal is an Opel (and Vauxhall) Insignia. FWD vs RWD sedans. Since 10 years now GM develops car for Europe and then integrate some of them in his Market under a US name. Sadly this is made possible by the loss of Identity of most of GM Brands (except Cadillac and Chevrolet). The Sad thing for us is that Buick is what Opel should be in Europe.

[@noamzacks3315]

The Regal,actually 'started it's life',in Europe as Opel Insignia(Vauxhall Insignia in the U.K).The same applies to Buick Varrano(Opel Astra Berlina)

[@theloseph]

The lacross is also available in AWD

[@Newyorkgiants6597]

What part of KY are you in?

[@orlandoortiz9316]

how much is the regal GS looks as tested?

[@J-W.-]

im17 and i wouldn't mind driving that regal GS i looked at it at a dealership and it sits like a bmw i guess but does it drive like one?

[@Butchcub75]

Whats the tester you use?

[@Ttimmy]

Is this in Colorado

[@KH990j]

I don't think he overcame the turbo lag on the GS when he took off; he just stomped on it and let the turbo spool up while accelerating which would cause significant turbo lag. It should do around 7 seconds.

[@PSG0113]

Regal GS has been clocked at 6.2 seconds

[@Laxnut1082]

I had a modded 98 GTP that ran in the 13's before I got my GS. Loved that whine! I believe I am running 22psi through the entire rpm band. I know trifecta tune's the pcm to get into boost early and keep it there. I unfortunately do not have a boost gauge, but the tune is all that's been modified. What we saw in the video was the exact problem that every GS owner has complained about, weak power off the line. It's a complete whimp off the line and the tune ELIMINATES that completely.

[@billrossow4242]

Break boost it and turn off traction control

[@RomainSandt]

It's alsmost US vs Europe inside GM. The LaCrosse was made for USA, the Regal is an Opel made for Europe then transform to become a Buick. They both are two diffenrent thinking. Interresting! RWD vs FWD (or AWD), Big V6 vs 4 in line Turbo...

[@CodeXana]

The new Regal is truly stunning

[@billybatson3489]

I said that because I think I heard it in a commercial before didn't mean to put Buick down.

[@StevenSVT]

Where these runs at sea level?

[@m4rickgaming840]

Crazy that the newer these got the slower they get for the GS

[@GradyRho92]

what is the stock boost psi

[@mmz77]

Was this at elevation?

[@z06life51]

I bought a 2015 LaCrosse and it is really just the same as a caddy XT6 but without the price. With a 2:77 final drive ratio you are not going to break any time records. That's why I also have a Camaro SS.

[@mplscarsales6652]

JustAnother RegularGuy I agree Luxury is to Enjoy ! Fast is to Race !

trying to see the rear of the car but there is no hope what's ur problem

can you guys do a review on the lacrosse super? :D

[@kupidzheart]

i test drove one....they are freaking monsters on the road. will sling you back in your seat every time.

[@Cuseball121]

The LaCrosse is extremely good-looking, but the Regal is hideous. I definitely don't understand why Buicks design team is doing.

[@NightRiderBUICK]

When is diamond in the rough returning? I thought it was in October. GREAT REVIEW THO!

[@Woodcote]

The poor Golf R would be looking the tail lights of both of these...pretty funny!

[@darrellfincher2948]

well i just purchased a 2007 lucerne used--gold mist color with leather and all options. i must say i really like the way it rides--the way it handles--and yes even the acceleration is good--for a heavy family car--i get about 25 mpg on freeway--about 20 in town, the worst thing gmc has ever did is stop making the 3.8/3800--very reliable engine--very few issues--and can get 200k with out too much trouble...... Wanted the regal turbo--BUT technician friend says no you dont! the ecoboost has some issues. so i got the regular v6 lucerne. NO regrets love my old buurrick!!!! LOL

[@williamneumann7578]

They'll do that in the review.

[@socalguy97]

Someone in a commercial said "my grand pappy's Buick?" lol

[@TsukuyomiPlayz]

I love these random ass cars they review

[@evanganske9240]

So now we all know that a turbo 4 can replace the V6 in the Regal and Malibu! I still wish there was a little more factory tuning to boost the 2.0T up to 270HP and 305FT-LBS. . . Also Roman when are you getting your hands a 2014 Malibu??

[@eugenzander780]

It's not a buick, it's a opel insignia

I’ve done 0-130 in my lacrosse and it was fun

[@senorgato70]

the title of this video may as well have said "Bikini Contest - Sally Field vs. Angela Lansbury"

[@neilbruce123]

La cross is a awesome car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Rtvoll]

Because the honda accord is a midsize sedan. Both these sedans are bigger and heavier. The regal is 120ish lbs heavier and the lacrosse is nearly 500 lbs heavier.

[@lfsracer79]

my comment was about the adjectives, not the times themselves

[@mcodnry]

Regal has vampire teeth.

[@paddyron1]

They should of added the 3.6 in the ats awd

[@sfiifs6891]

I watched your other videos and I am surprised that buick regal gs in America is very good, compared to other sports cars. and here is a very new and the engine has not been run with a full tank, auto and manual. when the engine is in the drive and use the manual and 4wd what would happen though

[@lfsracer79]

so 7.78 is seriously impressive and 7.35 is not bad

[@darpatel13975]

Review the Audi's soon!

[@tomkirwanmusic]

sea level, they put it in at the beginning of the first test

[@wsc31]

Is it just my eyes or did your head and ceiling appear very close together, close as in if your hair was any longer you would not fit in the car? Respectable performance for cars which are bought for respectability rather than cojones.

[@ThousanWhite]

Not bad numbers for real world testing

[@socalguy97]

Hardly grand pappy's Buick lol. Those were about a decade ago. I'm not sure people 60+ years old are looking at Buick anymore. They're too much for them (not in terms of prices, but in terms of style, technology, and complexity). I buy Buick now, and I'm in my 30's. My aunt, who is 69 and has been buying Buicks for over 40 years refuses to buy them anymore because they, in her words "look too much like a car a kid would drive." and "all of these buttons and technology...I don't want it."

[@mikehael6852]

7.78 Lacrosse is not very quick for that new of a car. My 2002 Buick Regal LSE naturally aspirated 3800 did that, and my 04 Regal GS supercharged was faster than the 2014 regal gs that's sad.

[@paddyron1]

The Regal GS with the added weight of awd will be slow for a 40000 sports sedan.

[@KuyaArbee]

That regal is handsome

[@GucciGuy216]

I prefer the lacrosse imo

[@My_Dream_Life_of_Luxury77]

[@EdwardPack1988]

Drive one to find out.

[@TJBellamy99]

Thats because GM owns Vauxhall and the the regal is the same car as the Vauxhall Insignia

[@Fordguy1997]

in know right, lol, but all kidding aside, the regal gs is set up to be quick, where as the lacrosse is set up to be comfortable.
