2015 Buick Regal GS - Redline: Review

Handsome looks, turbo power, and sporty handling all make up the ingredients for a sports sedan. Buick's latest Regal GS looks help rid the company of that stodgy "old person" stigma. Have they succeeded?

[@JustinKelly]

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

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

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!

[@rueben44]

Those rims are not gaudy! Stick to facts and stop being so subjective. Oh and the key is to unlock the doors in car you have loss of power. EVERY push button start car has one also.

[@romanseano]

That is 100% correct. Every smart-key car that I know of also comes with a manual key. As for the styling, some people are total minimalists and want to blend in with the crowd... and some of us like a little bright and a little bling served with our cars - like us Regal owners.

[@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.

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

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.

[@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 ;)

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.

The reason you have the switchblade key is if the push button battery dies or something else, you can take the button out of the ignition and use the key to start it.

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@TMS5100]

a good effort by buick. good looks, good engine sound. with another 100hp it would be really competetive with the kia stinger.

[@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.

[@MarkGraban]

Agree that it looks like a Chevy Malibu key. Is the "switchblade key" there as a backup for opening the doors from the outside?

[@black_hearted6925]

No

[@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).

[@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.

[@randomocityvideos]

Drove a couple of these in the past, was not impressed. Acceleration is a bleak affair with a completely uninspiring engine. Handling is OK, good for a Buick...but I would expect more out of an almost $40,000 "sports sedan". I was disappointed, because the GS is a car that I wanted to like.

I feel like it should be in the 300-350 torque area . As it stands you would be beat by a Honda Accord . This car is way slow . I like the rims tho

[@Lucky8s]

yes sir If it were me, it wouldn't matter how much power the car had, I'd still go for the Accord or Camry V6. I don't even see the point of getting this over a Mazda 3.

[@kicksreason]

No mention on the options on the driver digital instrument cluster?

[@yurkshirelad]

Oh and I hate the current Buick waterfall grille; it looks really out of date and dull.

[@kevinbollers2]

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

[@romanseano]

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.

[@101MrBlack]

Updated head lights? The interior follows exteriors design? It has history? Ever heard of Opel Insignia? Look it up.

[@romanseano]

To you and everyone else who makes this comment (over and over and...) You see, here's the thing: No one else here needs to look it up - because that is not brand-new information. We all know.

[@NS416]

The Center Console looks very very old, reminds me a bit of the Hyundai Santa

[@GBraidi78]

Naveen S You mean Sonata?

[@NS416]

Nope, the Santa fe! www.autos.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Santa_Fe_XL_11.jpg

[@GBraidi78]

Naveen S oh OK that was my second guess lol

[@TheCobruhAlienat0r]

$45,500 and it doesn't come with a spare tire?!?!

[@joesantos8563]

It saves on weight. And comes with a compressor pump. To save a damaged Tire.

[@hectorramirez3016]

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

"Agressive styling"

[@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?

[@Messier87_M87]

Yea too bad acura is a glorified honda.. Throw away piece of shit vehicle built for economic reasons only..Drive it to a 100k miles and drop it off at the junkyard.. Built extremely cheap, very fragile cars.

[@normt5463]

True-Patriot Honda+!

[@seanspibey6501]

It is a pity you did not get the v6 2.8 turbo in the usa like we do here in Australia its great car but still a grand touring not a sports car

[@jacobtanner5806]

Can you do a review on jeep renegade

[@joeyfoureyes98]

This is a shame to the regals of previous generations. I want a v6.

[@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 👤👍👌👏

[@noredcr]

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

[@emmanuelyuechiming3975]

Buick, OPEL, HOLDEN and chevy are both same cars

[@JustinKelly]

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

[@Calbenmike]

I would consider this car if there were any aftermarket parts for it. There's literally NONE.

[@normt5463]

Calbenmike Brembos, Haldex 4 torque vectoring AWD, just needs a ecu tune to have +100 lb-ft of torque than a TLX v6.

[@kappete1]

remember the 2010 buick lacrosse.

[@issavibez394]

Those are damn huge

[@xghostkillahh]

Buick gnx? That was something else

[@dongarcia6029]

awesome, thank you much :)

[@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.

[@rc5434]

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

[@dannyboisvert5079]

Very beautiful ❤️

[@willspinelli8330]

The red tincoat color is an extra $500 and looks way better than the $1000 black in this video! My father just got one in the red and it looks so slick. Put my red A4 next to it and the Buick just looks sharper and faster.

[@normt5463]

Will Spinelli a coworker just picked up a 2017 GS in the red tint coat and it is sharp!

[@RamblingOmarr]

If I was going to target this market, I'd go for the V6 TLX. Looks Better when you load it up, get the sunroof, and some nice paint. Sit the Buick and a Loaded TLX side by side, you just want to drive the Acura. Looks BETTER! MORE POWER!!! In terms of interior, the Acura isn't as Spacious as the Buick. But the Acura has Nice looking dual screens, and a PUSH BUTTON TRANSMISSION!!!! Thats just fucking SICK!!! So in My Opinion the Acura has this bastard BEAT!!! Now of course I say that, but the 2015 Nissan Maxima has BOTH these sombitches Beat!!!!! Now I say that, but the Hyundai Genesis V8 has ALL these bastards Beat. !!! Funny how that works Huh!?

[@RomanM803]

Buick r 4 people that can't afford Cadillac

[@Justtanjii]

Buick's are for people who love Buick's just because people buy buick's doesn't mean they can't afford a Cadillac how do you know what's in people's bank account and pockets? Lol

[@romanseano]

Tangela, I totally agree! But I'd bet that 007 can't afford either one.

[@normt5463]

007 Some of us do not like the extrovert styling of Cadillac but like to slip under the radar in a Buick.

[@yishaithegift9953]

It's like a loser with no real character flaunting around with designer clothes, jewelry, and a fancy Caddie or Benz. Or whatever. But a man like me pulls up next to this loser at a gas station in a 2016 Buick GS (my car). Guess who gets the girl? I'll give you a hint. It's not the guy overcompensating for his frail ego. Smh some people just will never get it.

[@dekic13236]

It is like Opel Insignia.

[@maxburgess7040]

whats that beeping that happens while he's driving?

[@jmasoncars4452]

Nice intro!

[@TiagoBlackOps]

I don't know how they did it but they really managed to screw up the looks of this car, if you look at the car it's based on (opel insignia) this looks like flashy crap
