The IT Nerd

So I’ve come to the end of my time with the Buick Regal Turbo. I have to say that even though I entered this review with the knowledge that Buick was trying to change the image of what their cars are, I was blown away with the degree of change. This week I had a car that in every way was great to drive, and had plenty of power and luxury as well. From a technology standpoint, the addition of a WiFi hotspot and Siri Eyes Free combined with really useful safety technology really made this a vehicle that I could see myself in. If Buick’s mission was to produce cars that would get buyers like me who would normally not think twice about Buick into showrooms, I can safely say that their mission is accomplished.

My final fuel economy was 11 L/100 KM’s in mixed city and highway driving. That wasn’t bad given that I was really utilizing the capabilities of the Regal. Driving more sensibly would have yielded better results I believe which is good given that the Regal uses premium gas.

So, what is this particular Buick Regal Turbo going to cost you? As equipped, it goes for $46,120. But it starts at $39,465 which means that it is completely in line with competitions like the BMW 3 series, Audi A4, Mercedes Benz C Class just to name a few. Given how it performs, it doesn’t just compete on price either. Perhaps the competition needs to look over their shoulder.

Take it from me, this isn’t your dad’s Buick. One drive and you’ll see why.
