2015 Buick Regal GS - Redline: Review

[@JustinKelly]

Am I the only one who does NOT think of Buick as an old person car?!

[@GetPooped]

Yes. Yes, you are.

[@TheSpritz0]

The handling and auto trans on these cars are VERY good, very smooth!

[@sevensinsvelocityshop7563]

Excellent review and video, I just bought a 15 Regal GS and so far I’m very happy and very surprised with it. The new MSRP is a bit much for what it is but I feel that getting one lightly used like mine with under 60K on the clock is a market where these cars will really shine. You get all of those features in a fairly quick good handling good looking car for under $20K....that’s pretty hard to beat if you ask me

[@romanseano]

Soyfan: You'll be relieved to know that in 3 years with our Regal (Turbo, not GS - not a fan of the fangs-front-end), ZERO rattles from the interior... zero problems of any kind. And I like that "gaudy" chrome you mentioned - I like it even more that it inspires polarizing reactions... Finally, the FLIP KEY that annoys you: There's a discrete manual key slot, in case your smartkey fails. Hyundai has it, too. Finally, no ONE TOUCH UP on rear windows - safety feature to prevent decapitating your children.

[@lennys.4588]

Well said!

[@tlmassenburg]

The GS are going for great prices nowadays. I found one with 50k miles for 15k. Watching all these reviews are turning me off from it

[@carr0302]

I over payed for mine but still love it. Huge complaint of mine is how slow and fussy the GPS is and generally slow all around with the touch screen.

[@TrumpsaTerroristChangeMyMind]

Because reviewers don’t look at reliability... the regal gs is super reliable you can find many with 200k+ miles being sold at legit dealerships meaning they still run If you see the car being sold at hertz or random dinky little dealerships all over the place for cheap than it’s a trash can... My regal GS is at 120k miles but aside from resealing the headlights I’ve had zero issues the car does need like 7-8quartz of oil the mpg is very accurate and I drive my regal like a dick because off the line it’s quick It’s passing speed is FAST tho!! The pull from the high torque figures and turbo really help the car fly once it hits 2nd gear and up Interior best in class for comfort id say for the used market and the awd isn’t performance based but my god has it saved my ass driving in Michigan winters😅 And the ride is super smooth Brand new these reviews were right because GM likes to offer “discounts” up to $8k so this retailed for 45k But anyone who actually tried to buy one paid 37-40k for fully loaded with awd which made it one of the cheapest in class for everything it offered It sold poorly so now it’s cheap to get used it’s a fucking steal!! Unlike other luxury cars that resale for wayyy under list price due to unreliability

Buick Regal holds a very weird sort of bookend place to my past career as a car salesman being both the very first new car I ever sold, and also one of the last deals I tried to put together before I left the dealership life, at least on the GM side.

[@chronos4573]

This is my second Regal GS since 2012 and just bought a 2017. I've had really good ownership experience to include dealership interactions. No major issues mechanically or with driveline and has been lower maintenance costs than a previous VW GTI that I really enjoyed but was a bit noisy and not comfortable for longer road trips. The only major problem I had with prior GS was the damn key fob, but I think it's because it got too wet, more my fault. The GS is an excellent interstate cruiser and with your radar detector on, you can eat up miles of highway in comfort, style and is fully capable of handling twisty road, ramps, inclines and passing with authority and ease. Sofan you are right, that bright chromed bezel around the PRNDL does reflect and glare right into your eyes! I had the door and trim technicians at the dealership paint it a flat black when I took delivery of my 2017, problem solved. This car is refined and quiet and the Regal GS can deceive a casual test driver into thinking the car is not very quick, until they look down at their speedometer. Most of the professional car publications, put 0-60 at 6.2 seconds if the drivers know how to properly launch the GS. The closest competitor for the GS is actually the VW CC (not and Audi A4) which I cross shopped, but the interior headroom was even more limiting and confined for me.

[@beamboy420]

Krill Siluroid how quiet is the car especially on rough roads. Is it as quiet as a Chrysler 300 if you have driven one ?

[@chronos4573]

Yes I've actually driven both, the Buick was quieter to my ear. I seemed to hear more tires noise in the 300,that Buick was able to tune out of the Regal chassis.

[@beamboy420]

Krill Siluroid thanks so much. Appreciate your reply very much.

[@Victic005]

They need to put the LS7 vette motor in there. That's GM answer to everything.

[@northwestgirl930]

My first car was a 1991 buick century custom with 360k miles (original engine and transmission). I was 22 and I abused the v6, but it still never quit! We let it go in 2017 when we moved, since there was no telling if it could make the trip. XD But somehow it still ran! XD

[@rmpullenii]

I own a 2012 GS and this thing is butter smooth and has much more mechanical grip than the average driver knows what to do with. P look us this car has plenty of power to splatter yourself all over whatever hwy you want. 3 digit speeds come up quickly enough for a fat ticket. So in all honesty go drive the car for yourselves people you might just fall in love with this hot rod Buick.

[@redriver15262]

Im 23 and i think its a Good looking car, but I'd rather have a Used C class or Lexus IS

[@1970borntorun]

A C-Class is about as exciting as watching paint dry, and the Lexus IS is not much better and under-powered. If you want a car to get your blood moving, buy a G37, a 3 Series or a Focus ST. I've driven, or owned all the cars I spoke of, so I'm not talking out of my ass, unlike 90% of all people on You Tube ;)

[@issavibez394]

C class is Shit compared to this lol buick is more reliable Germans have a lot of issues and don’t offer much as standard that’s boring your only paying for the name

[@gene978]

One good thing about buying this car is you'd be driving a car that very few own. I never see these on the road and I have a Buick Dealer 1/4 mile around the corner from my condo.

[@gmman010983]

Even tho the 3800 is an older engine the Supercharged version in the old Regal GS WOULD shit all over this one... Once again a V6 in the real world will always be better matched to a family sedan.. Its not about 0-60 like they always test its about smooth power delivery & reliability especially when the car is packed.. just saying.

[@bwfailcan2858]

My previous car was a GTP Comp G with a tune and some bolt-ons. I replaced it with the 2014 regal turbo awd (trifecta tune) and had a race just for fun. The GTP was just barely faster from a stop, but got walked at above 70 mph. The old Regal GS had 20 less hp than the comp G and would get rekt by the new one. Just saying from experience.

[@normt5463]

keri ellerbe Joe above already mentioned it but with just a ecu tune the Ecotec 2.0T can see close to 400 lb-ft of torque. With VVT it carries the torque higher into the operating range and is almost half the dispalcdment of the 3800.

[@danielsherrill7085]

@@normt5463 I know this is a really old comment, but I felt I needed to say that you are exactly right. I own a 2017 Regal Turbo and I put a Trifecta tune on it. What a difference! From 259 horsepower stock to 320, and 295 lb ft of torque went to 350. This car will surprise people now. When you can get it to not spin the front tires, sub 6 second 0-60s are attainable. And I’ve owned the car for 2 years now, and I’m averaging 29 mpg over that time.

The interior for this car makes sense since this is from Europe GM/Opel

[@daaaaaannnnnn]

The key is a back up to get into the car I case the key fob battery dies

[@bourbon.36]

I question why a car reviewer wouldn't know that. To me that would only be common sense. lol

[@dixondw13]

Phillip Wooden Phillip Wooden He knows what it’s for. I think his point was that many other manufacturers hide their key in the key fob (instead of having a switchblade style key). Such as Honda/Acura, Nissan/Infiniti, Toyota/Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar/Land Rover, Cadillac, etc. Personally, I think it’s a little disappointing that GM didn’t carryover the Cadillac key fobs to Buick, as I feel similar to Sofyan’s comment about how unfortunate it is that the key fob looks like it came from a Chevrolet (which it did), but then again, it’s just a key fob.

[@Factfive]

Sofyan, history is important but I would like to see you go into these reviews of American cars with a little more objectivity. America isn't #1 (not considering China) in the number of cars it makes per year for no reason. I notice (as I have been watching your reviews for a while now) that you tend to be more negative towards American cars. The cars have improved greatly and in a lot of cases have been good from the start. I would like to see you review what you are driving and not what was driven a decade or decades ago.

[@theredline]

FactFive The Regal simply represents GM when they were still cutting corners. We've said nothing but positive things on newer models such as the ATS/CTS, Corvette, Canyon, and Escalade/Yukon/Tahoe triplets.

[@smokeybear45]

Redline Reviews nothing beats a Japanese car, most of they're cars are solid and really well built

[@Factfive]

***** So, your complaint is a key? Look, I have a Japanese car. I have always driven Japanese cars. However, I maintain an open mind. My first car was Japanese because the American counterpart wasn't very appealing to me. You mentioned GM's ignition problems, it was the other day Toyota recalled almost 10 million vehicles for faulty gas pedals. No car brand is without its problems. GM's problem was complacency and maybe it took stiff competition and a bankruptcy to turn them around. But I believe the turn around was for the better and not the worst. And I believe the cars they are producing now are worthy of a review not connotated by what they were 10 or 15 years ago (at least when it comes to everyman cars). How good is the car? Does it serve it's intended purpose well? How does it stack up against the competition?

[@austinformedude]

FactFive GM still makes crap and cuts corners even if it means death for its customers (eg. ignition switches). The switchgear is all cheap and breaks easily, they have many software issues, and outdated engines and styling. They should have been bankrupt as the Company was run into the ground and pissed all of their money away, but my tax dollars (and yours) came to the rescue at the destain of almost everyone. abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/gm-recalling-780k-suvs-fix-power-lift-gate-32352458 money.cnn.com/infographic/pf/autos/gm-recall-timeline/ fortune.com/2013/02/14/10-big-problems-for-general-motors/

[@chrish5425]

WarmSoftKitty Are you kidding me? GM has killed people with ignition problems and always cuts corners on interiors in some of their vehicles. Their Camaro's interior, for example. The media covers up some things but these stories are true.

[@str8profit81]

Those wheels are some of the best to ever come stock on a car. Anything under 20 inch is ugly

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

I think this reviewer is very honest. However, I wonder why he would like to change the car to make it into the Cadillac ATS? He wants a bigger engine (which would raise the weight and does not fit in the engine bay) which is not practical. This is competing with Lexus IS 250/350, and against that, it is a more dynamic car. It is not meant to compete against BMW - that is the role Cadillac has now and the ATS is quite effective as is the CTS as a number of reviewers state those cars beat out BMW (not always, but it is close).

[@Vanrocco66]

It's basically the same car as my 2010 Saab 93 Aero. The 2010 Saab was a GM product and had the same engine and transmission as the 2011 Regal. I'm pretty sure Buick still sources the engine from Germany and the transmission from Japan as they did for the 2010 Saab. If you look ata a 2010 Saab 93 and the Regal side by side, the body shape and size are almost Identical .... What does all of this mean? Probably not much but I can tell you that my 2010 Saab has 160,000 miles and other then a defective drive shaft at around 110K miles and a bad wheel bearing at 145K miles,, I haven't had any major issues with this car. There is however a great deal of turbo lag when accelerating.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

Eight speed comes in 2018 in the redesign and the engine in the GS is rumored to be a V6 with 305 hp. Lighter weight will mean better gas mileage and acceleration. Good luck with that money buying the TLX instead. This was done a year ago when the TLX was new and unfortunately, the new 8 speed and 9 speed transmissions are prematurely failing and going into dealerships for repair. Honda has a terrible tendency on transmission redesigned the last few generations on the V6 engines having massive transmission problems. The 2001 Acura TL and 2003 Honda Accord V6 I owned both blew their transmissions multiple times starting as low as 30,000. My neighbor bought the Acura TLX with the 9 speed and after 27,000 lost his transmission - and then had to wait two weeks to get it back because of the backlog of transmissions being repaired (7 in front of him). I note that my luck with Honda is continuing for my neighbors unfortunately. Their four cylinder transmissions on the other hand are durable.

[@hectorramirez3016]

Why does GM have both Buick and Cadillac, I don't understand the point of two luxury brands.

The point is that people are buying them both. One example, both Buick and Cadillac sales - individually, each - in the U.S. alone were more than twice the total sales of Lincoln… Globally, Buick outsells many brands, including Lexus. It would be a mistake to eliminate either brand, since they both have a market that is engaging them.

Soyfan, why aren't you using the old speedometer intro? That was perfect for your channel name

[@yurkshirelad]

I'm only 200 pounds and my butt didn't fit in the the 2012 GS front seat. The side base bolstering made the seat too narrow and were too firm. The interior for me is disappointing, it isn't as nice as reviewers make out. I don't see Buick as near luxury though the upcoming Lacrosse may be the closest that Buick has gotten to that label.

[@romanseano]

I'm only 230 and my butt loves our 2016 Regal (though not a GS - the seats are actually better in the non-GS versions).

"Agressive styling"

[@christianyoung6654]

When is a walrus aggressive

[@jasonkresock2196]

😂😂😂 Right? I hate that saber tooth design. I got mine without it!

[@STEVE33437]

Sorry but the starting price is much lower than the Lexus ES350 and not in the same category because of this.

[@normt5463]

Steve W No Lexus ES is based off economy car Toyota and offers no AWD. Not in the same category.

[@hectorramirez3016]

sofyan is probably only used to driving import cars, with spoilers.

[@georgecarrion6881]

Sofyan can you please do the 2015 corolla s

[@Lucky8s]

George Carrion I'd like to see him review any Corolla trim, besides the lowest one of course :)

[@georgecarrion6881]

WuWei Xu yea

[@mrfred641]

I got me a front wheel drive and I like it

[@AntLive29]

Good review Sofa

[@wonkwe9181]

keep up the great work that you do!

[@m4fade]

How are GMs sales these days considering the whole ignition-switch fiasco? Quite shady. Whenever I see a new GM(any of their brands) on the road I wonder why would anyone buy one when there's so many better or comparable options these days and their average buyer age is still way over 50 years old. Perhaps it's time for GM to just fade away?

[@normt5463]

m4fade Buick outsells most brands like Acura, Infinity, Cadillac... Most cars today have keyless entry and require no key to operate.

[@thekiddisfly]

I love the paint color

[@ryanmachado1754]

Breaking the law Much at 0:47?

[@noredcr]

I gotta say i really like it, buttttt.....its still a Buick. They should've just brought it over as an Opel.

[@xghostkillahh]

Buick gnx? That was something else

[@StormAutoAdventures]

I hate that every single review of the 2014+ Regal Turbo & GS is an AWD version! That AWD brings the curb weight up over 4,000 pounds! It hurts the gas mileage, hurts the braking and handling, and makes the car slower on top of it. I have yet to see a 2014-15 Regal GS (FWD) tested at the track in 6 speed manual or 6 speed auto form. They've all been stupid AWD models. Being how sporty this car is, and how big the wheels are at 19" & 20", this just doesn't seem like the type of car you'd want AWD in. Especially with all the drawbacks I mentioned above. I would just get a set of new Bridgestone Blizzack WS80 snow tires for the FWD GS during the winters. I bet a FWD GS with Blizzacks will go damn near as good in the snow as an AWD GS with all season tires. AWD is not worth it with this car IMO. IDK, maybe it's just me...

[@StormAutoAdventures]

+Chris McSorley'79 Oh, I forgot to mention that I still gave your review and video a like by the way, because I really enjoy all your reviews. I just wish you could have gotten a FWD model is all. No biggie though.

[@normt5463]

Chris'sVids79...just needs a ecu tu e to put it well over 350 lb-ft of torque.

[@andrebambino3871]

Can you do a 15 200

[@normt5463]

Andre Bambino a coworker just picked up a 2017 GS with 24K miles for a little more than that.

[@JustinKelly]

How in the world does this car compete with the Hyundai Genesis?! That's a little bit of a stretch...

[@kappete1]

remember the 2010 buick lacrosse.

[@issavibez394]

Those are damn huge

[@darrenmeears4667]

Really is a very nice looking car better than the insignia we have in the uk looks more aggressive them wheels are to die for 👤👍👌👏

[@GBraidi78]

I would rather get the TLX V6 SH-AWD for that money over this junk!

[@k.aduse1]

Idiot

[@danpollutro]

MrKAPD $45000 for GM engineering vs Honda engineering? Hell no! Waiting for the 2016 Acura TLX myself.

[@cadsux]

Danny P Actually, Buick is more reliable than Acura and Honda. Per Consumer Reports 2015 Car Brands Report Card, out of 28 car brands, Buick ranked #7, while Honda was #8 and Acura was #11. It is the only U.S. car company to be in the top 10. The rest of the U.S. brands ranked last.

[@vlad1889]

cadsux Source please, last time i checked most reliable car-manufactures Honda was on top.

[@cadsux]

Vlad B Not anymore. The last time I checked, with Consumer Reports Dec 2014 Reliability Survey, Lexus/Toyota was #1. Even Honda isn't #1 on JD Powers. The last time you checked must have been 10 years ago. Consumer Reports surveys 1.1 million car owners per year, and they've been doing this since 1936. What does your "source" say?

[@jmasoncars4452]

Nice intro!

[@lukamaric9015]

They stole the interior and exterior from a Opel Insignia. The look exactly the same

[@vertik7]

+Luka Maric Opel doesn't exist in USA.

[@robbiehernandez8019]

+Luka Maric GM owns both Opel and Buick. Buick version of the Insignia is this car which is for the USA since Opel isn't available in the USA.

[@vertik7]

Opel is much less expensive, it's a different car from Buick.

[@robbiehernandez8019]

I'm sure because of Buick being considered near luxury. I don't know what Opel is considered is it more mainstream?

[@vertik7]

Opel is like Chevrolet I think. Not a luxury car like Buick.

[@dongarcia6029]

awesome, thank you much :)

[@KenniTheKid]

They still need to tweak the looks. Lexus are alot more aggressive in their pursuit for younger buyers and Buick needs to take notes.

[@Calbenmike]

I'm 38 and I am interested in the Regal.

[@KenniTheKid]

+Calbenmike You're at the edge of the young buyer market, pretty much almost out of it. These guys want mid-late 20's to early-mid 30's.

[@Calbenmike]

KenniTheKid Great, I'm considered old.

[@socalguy97]

+KenniTheKid Lexus more aggressive? In what sense? They're pretty bland to me. The ES and IS are a snooze-fest. And also, what about younger buyers? The average age of a Buick buyer, according to Forbes, is 57 while Lexus is 61, Mercedes is 54, and 49 for BMW. None of these is a spring chicken, but at the same time, Buick also doesn't attract the oldest buyer anymore. For the record, I'm 37 and own the Regal. Suits me just fine; however, my 73 year old colleague (who won't retire) drives a 2014 Lexus CT 200H lol.

[@normt5463]

KenniTheKid Buick average buying age is 58-years old.

[@dekic13236]

It is like Opel Insignia.

[@derreckcaldwell8031]

One thing I noticed about You is that you really don't like American Made cars and it shows.

[@nicholasroy8835]

Xxgott pa do a review on older Acura MDX

[@Nestle245]

7 seconds for a 0-60 given that much horsepower and torque is slow as hell. I would get this over an ATS because of its more backseat legroom tho.

[@yishaithegift9953]

Its actually 6.2 seconds when properly launched. Its actually 300lbs heavier than the base model because of the all wheel drive system. Turn off traction control, turn on gs and sport mode. It's faster than 7 seconds.
