AWD Turbo Buick - 2016 Regal GS Review & Apple CarPlay

[@eden20111]

The more I see this car on the road, the more I fall in love with it. I'm 23 years old. Definitely not an old persons car

[@annaarrigoni2779]

I'm looking to get one soon after my dad made a joke about buicks lol but I like it better than any other cars I've looked at! definitely seemed underrated

[@Chris-hw4mq]

@@annaarrigoni2779 in europe they are called opel insignia and the haldex has problems, maybe you need to do a timing chaing on high mileage cars. Reliability is the main problem of this car

[@calvin4319]

@@Chris-hw4mq Every body complains about the 3.6 timing chain but in reality it almost never fails I have had multiple 3.6 cars including a 2012 police package impala with 180k still on the original timing chain and you know that thing saw alot of abuse

[@NemesisNetworksRastarhino]

i have one its a nice car it does have a good pull pretty touchy on the pedal on the FWD you press it down shes gone once the turbo kicks in shes gone

[@NemesisNetworksRastarhino]

@@Chris-hw4mq he is right there are some problems at a early age seems to be the same for everyone. Some guys drive this car hard to like its some sports car and they do mods to it but if you drive it like an old man it will go the distance of life alot of buicks have a good rep for reliability but sadly the re branded regal the opel insignia is known for some issues BUT not the end of the world just sad to see these issues like i said at the cars early age i see it happen alot 60k-80k miles 100-120 it depends but it happens

[@Delm21]

I work at Oshawa assembly where we build these, very cool under rated car

[@ericdouglas7039]

I own a car that was built at that GM plant. But GM screwed over the America taxpayers as well as Canadians. Not only did GM close the Oshawa plant but they got a loan from the Canadian government which GM never paid back

[@ChevySpeedAddict]

I love my 2016 AWD GS. Just picked it up last October and I'm in love. I hope it lasts me for many years to come.

[@pensive69]

we own one ...the AWD and a set of Blizzaks make this one very good snow country car. i think the interior design/color choice in tans looks better than the all dark black and wood look that comes in the graphite exterior. the brakes are good - with the car's weight they could be better. entry into the front is fine ...entry to the rear seats is a bit compacted. i would have cut some trunk for more rear seat room. we've had 0 problems with our Regal. a well made car.

[@agenericaccount3935]

I'd enjoy one of these as a used purchase. You know the people buying these, for the most part, aren't beating the crap out of them. Trundling to church and work in the nicest Buick they could find, trading it in or returning it on lease.

[@leesadleridge]

I have a used 2012 Regal, had for 3 years now, best car I’ve ever owned. Never needed servicing for anything other than the normal oil changes. It drove through one of the worst ice storms our state had seen in a long time like a champ, 40 cars in the ditch throughout 30 miles, my Buick just kept chugging!

[@MrNicholg]

Hood vents have been a Buick styling cue for a century.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Indeed, but I wish they were actually vents if they're going to look like vents. I'm glad modern muscle cars have gone away (for the most part) from fake hood scoops.

[@MrNicholg]

Yeah, I'd still just like to see more of a clear identity beyond the vent styling though too, but not sure it will ever happen outside of China.

[@mustafahussam9616]

Something about fake hood vents makes me cringe

[@millefune]

The weight of the Regal is what makes it so quiet and comfortable. There is a shit ton of sound deadening materials, and extra thick glass coatings, to keep all the noise out. If there wasn't so much gravel on the road, you would've fallen asleep. It's an old man's car, and I love when I get to use one as a company car or rental when I go out of town for work.

[@kuwait85]

Buick has really made a comeback with this and the verano

[@o3tomas]

so basically it's a low-power version of insignia opc with unnecessary sensor buttons

[@ydin9]

+o3tomas Whoever thought about putting heating controls on sensor buttons never had to cold start a car in the middle of the winter..

[@mattmers]

+ydin9 Good thing my 07 Saab 9-3 starts the heated seats automatically when the temp inside the car is below a certain level

[@ydin9]

Matthew Mers It tends to get bit colder in Sweden, shame Saab went under. Ridiculous as some of their inventions were, they did try to innovate their hearts out.

[@enriquecazorla2746]

[@Tully3674]

Good video. Buick loaded this car - very impressed considering its size. Don't think it was meant to be a BMW killer. Buick wanted quick 1/4 mile times while the driver had hi tech features and a boulevard cruise. Buick hit the mark. As to whether their PR dept can convince consumers to buy a Buick and not a competing Toyota, Ford or German import,....

[@learysinsight9617]

if it had a v6 turbo it would have caught the eye of all the old turbo buick guys

[@bc67]

Glad you posted this review. I'm a Legacy owner and always curious about the alternatives. Don't think I'd switch in this case.

[@kjscoleman]

I have a 2014 Buick Regal GS, front-wheel drive, 6spd manual. 0-60 times don't tell the performance story of this car. The car is heavy, (great for highway cruising), but the manual gives you a lot more control in shifting for yourself. Get the revs up to about 2800 rpm and the turbo kicks in nicely. Get it right coming out of a corner, passing, or merging on the highway and it's magic! The 20" wheels and summer rubber corner well, and as you mention, the car has no lean. Unlike in some other cars, (costing a lot more), an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are not the enthusiast's pick for the GS.

[@33rdlevel96]

Cool review of a car I really was looking at possibly buying if fate allowed it which it did not. Love the scenic drive you take your cars out on while taping. Reminds me of the drive I take once or twice a year along the Wisconsin River! Beautiful scenic drive 100%

[@oliverfox198]

We get the big boy version in the uk, insignia vxr. You should check it out

[@Nikiaf]

This car has the potential to be so much more than it turned into. Hopefully the Avista will see production as the next-generation Regal. If that happens, we may finally have a modern Buick worth buying.

[@joseduranjr8890]

I FELT YOUR COMMENTS WERE HARSH. I REALIZE THE BUICK IS NO PORSCHE. I TEST DROVE THAT CAR AND CAME AWAY IMPRESSED. BUICK HAS COME A LONG WAY IN PRODUCING A DECENT CAR TO OWN. IN ANY CAR-I STILL LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@nathanhaerr]

Why not mention the interior decibel score in this video? I'm betting all the weight is from the acoustic glass and extra sound deadening insulation. It would have been nice to know to compare it to your other reviews. Btw, your work is excellent. Keep it going!

[@Celicagame13]

That Engineering Explained jacket is pretty sweet

[@Toastmaster_5000]

Do you people not know that Opel and Vauxhall are owned by GM?

[@blackcarmafia]

+Peter Schmidt Really?

[@Toastmaster_5000]

blackcarmafia Yep - look it up. Europeans always like to trash on American cars but many cars they think are European really aren't, or vise versa. Then there are companies like Ford, where half their lineup are designed and manufactured in Europe.

[@Toastmaster_5000]

blackcarmafia I didn't say it was an American car, I implied it was American owned (through GM) and therefore there is nothing unusual about seeing this rebranded as Buick. As for the rest of your rambling.... no comment.

[@iancarlos1718]

+blackcarmafia gasoline is cheaper than diesel in the US That's why there aren't many cars with Diesel engines.

[@k0zzu21]

+blackcarmafia What exactly had Saab to do with Alfa 159? The Saab 9000 was a collaborative with Fiat and Lancia, but I haven't heard of any relations to Alfa Romeo.

[@collarbonecam]

I can only think of one production turbo Buick worth doing a review over.

[@CluelessDriversofSouthCarolina]

If this car was RWD, (it has a manual option), and about $10,000 cheaper, I'd get it when I could afford it.

[@Djsndbruxnsbsw]

this car is supposed to compete with the audi s4. works better in europe with the opel insignia model and crazy recaro seats. watch the top gear vid to find it out ;)

For someone who like tiny bouncing cars , yes this is a heavy car. For people who like comfort with the hit of performance (body kit , wheels , Gs logo) this is a great car. Good review coming from a guy who drives s2000. Figured he'd be much more harsh on it lmao

[@juanx.escala4779]

Hey +Engineering Explained! I love your videos, and I would really like to see a review of the 2016 Audi A5 Premium Plus! That would be fantastic! You're the best!

[@uptownsamcv]

Those are real nice looking cars. the instructor for my motorcycle safety class had one. I'm surprised they didn't just put the 3.6 in it.

[@eaglefat9398]

They came to there sense and now have the 3.6L v6 making 310hp

[@chillmal6271]

Eagle Fat well nowadays everyone out of Europe gets the tolerable engines and here in Europe the new cars don’t have any option above 210 hp anymore which basically means buying one is equal to wasting between 30 and 60 grand if going any more than 75 mph in that car is what one is after

[@patriotbarrow]

2016 Opel Insignia AWD, more like it.

[@mattmers]

+patriotbarrow More like a Opel Isignia body with a Saab 2.0T engine and Saab/Haldex co-developed AWD. Except Saab was smart enough to us a 2.8T for most of their AWD models

[@mattmers]

+Matthew Mers And Saab Suspension

[@SweetGrah]

+Matthew Mers It's not a Saab engine. This is an Ecotec engine it was a co-development between Opel, GM Powertrain and Saab. It replaced all other engines including the Saab H engine. The development of the engine was also assisted by Lotus. How much I don't know because at that time Lotus was sold by GM. Basically GM in 1994 rounded up all of the best engineers to make a new inline 4 cylinder engine.

[@mattmers]

Sssshhhhhhh, give saab all the credit. The ecotec LUK which is in this car was mostly developed by GM Powertrain US and Opel, Saab was already kicked out by this point. I did see they have a GM Powertrain in Italy but I think they focused on Diesel engines.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

My 2006 Saab 9-3 has the Ecotec 2.0 liter engine and turbocharging with Saab engine controls. The original non-direct injection engine was developed by GM powertrain back around 2000 with turbocharging capability. At that time Saab (which was now fully owned by GM) adopted the engine and was the first to turbocharge it in the 2003 Saab 9-3. The turbocharger first came from Garrett and then switched to Mitsubishi and the engine controls were developed by the Saab engineers in Sweden. GM Powertrain inherited all this technology when Saab finished its development. They kept it when Saab was spun off, along with the Halidex technology. The problem is Halidex was bought by BMW for x-drive so while GM can use the earliest (and heaviest) AWD version, they cannot upgrade it. So that Halidex that Saab used is still used in this "new" Buick Regal. The engine you are correct - it is not the Saab engine. The engine was modernized with direct fuel injection and parts were changed in a newer Ectoec, and the engine controls changed. Still, the roots of this car are the last generation Saab 9-3 ever built even if it is not the exact same engine, that Halidex drive is because of BMW.

[@peterzpictstube]

Is it really accurate going downhill from the Corbett ramp? I would think a flat stretch of road might be better. Have you compared? Love your videos.

[@ElSikario100]

[@ebramful]

Informative while not being boring:-) not a lot of engineers are like that.

[@alohahoward1]

I test drove the Regal without AWD and loved driving it. For me it has plenty of power for the price and was fun to drive. I was also considering the Acura TLX 2.4 liter but too many people complained about the jerky transmission even after the software updates. What killed the deal for me on the Regal was visibility. This may not be a big deal for a young driver like Jason, but my reaction time is not as good as it was 30 years ago and I like to be able to see clearly out of the windows. I could live with the limited visibility out of the windows but the side mirrors are terrible. The tear drop shape decreases the mirror area and makes one look a little harder to see the traffic. I could just spend more money and get the more expensive model with the blind side mirrors but then the cost would be closer to the base Audi and BMW. The next car I considered was the Mazda 6, but Mazda puts 19" wheels on them and I refuse to buy a car with 19" wheel. I guess no car is perfect.

[@ZobedRevolution]

What do you think of the chances of you getting your hands on an Audi RS6? I would love you see my favorite reviewer review my favorite car... :D

+ZobedRevolution Audi doesn't send me anything at the moment, but I'm doing my best to change this!

C'mon... those aren't "hood vents", those are the modern adaptation of the standard, Harley Earl-inspired, Buick "portholes" that are on almost every Buick in the last 70 years. Surprised you missed that.

[@donaldmarks8763]

love the vents

[@NukE30]

I find it kind of funny he says the car doesn't have enough power to kick out the rear, while 102hp is plenty to get the rear out on my BMW E30 (when it's wet, like in the video).

[@yeoldegamer5112]

+iRaceCroatia A 316i had 185 size tires IIRC, this vehicle has AWD, 4000lbs and huge tires.

[@NukE30]

YeOldeGamer Mine has 195s. Yeah, I understand it weighs as much as 2 E30s, I was just making an observation.

[@yeoldegamer5112]

+iRaceCroatia I had a '81 E21 318i (105PS) once and went over a railroad crossing then turned left while down-shifting into second. That was fun :D

[@NorthernChev]

Why no 0-60 with the TCS turned off? At 7.5 I'm betting the computer is pulling all the timing out of it on launch.

[@Camhin1]

[@vgannon-7303]

I know you've doing a lot of reviews lately but, maybe you could do a video on stroker kits ?

[@R777-RLM]

Needs a V6 engine, I'm not doubting the 2L Turbo's power, but a 4,000 pound car is a lot for a 4 cylinder to keep up for 200,000 miles without failure. I comment a lot about the phasing out of V6's, These cars aren't cheap, and I'm a stickler for reliability and longevity, for example my sister in laws 02 Ford Escape AWD V6 has 360,000 miles on it, and has only required a new fuel pump. If these small turbo's could do that, I'd have no problem with them. My own 1.8L Turbo 4 cylinder car has been excellently maintained, but has been expensive to fix and maintain, and the best mileage it has gotten is 26 MPG.

[@PurpleHeartVR]

Do they make a Manual version? AWD and 2.0l?

[@Ahmad-iv3dr]

[@ronaldconiglio9942]

The engine I'm not completely sure about. GM powertrain europe was based out of Trollhatten Sweden and they did a lot of engine work and transmission work. I think they did a lot of the work on the previous 2 engines. The AWD and suspension is though.

[@aayonce4]

Yeah not fast at all my '08 accord coupe 4cyl is faster to 60

[@bluesrocker137]

+Jesus G. 7.5 seconds with that much torque and HP? That's pretty disappointing. My family's 2013 base model Hyundai Sonata does it in 7.4...

[@SgtJStupid]

+Jesus G. I have a 97 Buick Regal GS that does 60mph in 5.8 seconds. That's with aftermarket headers and exhaust. Although, it gets poor mileage. about 16/17mpg city, 20mpg highway. It's a fun car to build, as the 3800 has a huge aftermarket scene and it's GM's most reliable V6. Easy to service and cheap to buy parts for. Great "sleeper" cars. Puts a funny face on the kids I race against with modded VW's, Hondas, and mustangs.

[@NeonLuvBar]

I'm really surprised Buick doesn't use the 2.8L Turbo engine, like in the European model (321BHP 0-60mph 5.6 secs)

Review a 2016 Ford Taurus SHO and do a comparison to this car!

[@SS8styles]

how does it compare to the WRX in terms of funness to drive? Seems like if could be some competition on paper, aside from the weight

[@EngineeringExplained]

The heft pulls out a lot from it having a rewarding driving experience. It's a relaxed rider.

[@SS8styles]

bummer, was hoping to have some more players in the AWD ~250hp sedan field. Thanks for the response tho my good sir.

[@MWXYT]

It's an old european Opel/Vauxhal Insignia, with some Buick badges and bumpers attached. So freakin heavy car, compared to competition. Those stronger versions have a little bit nicer front suspension compared to weaker ones, but still - due to it's weight it realy drives poorly and burns a lot of fuel.

[@NukeFromOrbit]

that looks like an Opel / vauxhall insignia :D is this because buick and Opel are GM companies?

[@Phos9]

Not really related to the video, but I've been wondering: would a 180 degree V10 (not a boxer) cancel out the 5 cylinder rock or make it worse? Obviously uneven firing, but there's so much overlap with a 72 degree crank that I wouldn't think it would matter too much.

[@kalon360]

It's the same car as the Vauxhall Insignia in the UK! :)

[@zkciv194]

Hey can you review the 4 cyl Camaro

[@alanmaier]

The burning question is.. when was the last TRUE Buick built? I am thinking we need to go back to the 1970's at the newest, and even then it was just a Chevy / Pontiac / Olds with different trim and sheet metal.. and an actual Buick engine. For the Elecra/Park Avenue (and Olds 98) they were just a lower priced Cadillac DeVille.

[@NorthernChev]

I know they're trying to break this image, but Buicks, historically, are popular (and synonymous) with old people. And if there's one thing old people love, it's new technology. Especially stuff like touchscreens that don't respond the first six times you touch it. Good thing their younger target audience is willing to tolerate all kinds of crap that doesn't work often and costs a ton to replace every year or two.

[@eaglefat9398]

Its not that bad, its just the type of touch screen, all you do is lightly tap it but people try to smash it down like a mechanical button, hint pushing harder does nothing but cause it to disregard the input. just like a smart phone.
