Buick Regal - The New Face of Buick


Buick has been know as the old folks car, the car that you buy right before you check yourself into a retirement center. The old Regal was just that, a huge boat on the road that you stayed away from because you were afraid Grandma was about to fall asleep at the wheel and plow into you. Well I am here to tell you things have changed! I have been driving the Buick Regal from Young Buick GMC in Layton UT now for the last 3 months. I have put on almost 6,000 miles on it and look forward to another 100,000 more. This might be crazy to say but this vehicle is one of the best vehicles I have ever driven. Now I have driven all the Cadillacs and I fell in love with the STS, but this car, I am afraid, is just as nice if not nicer. Now let me show you why:


First is the cock pit:


amazing ride is the base model! The stitched leather looks as good as it feels. With heated seats that warm both your rear end and your back it almost puts you to sleep with comfort after a long day of skiing. The fit of the entire front seat is what is really amazing. I feel like I belong there and that it was handcrafted just for me. Now I am only 5’8″ but I still have at least another foot that I could push my chair back further.



The features as well are abundant. The blue tooth isn’t as friendly as I have seen in other vehicles like the Kia’s but it works well. The sound system is incredible and really can get your heart racing as you blare the latest Mozart Concerto (what you might expect in a Buick Regal right). The steering wheel controls are super easy to reach and use while concentrating on the road. With all the latest updates in the dashboard information console you can see your tire pressure, adjust your speed to stay GREEN, and see your speed in big bold number format so that you can quickly know how much you need to slow down once you see that cop on the side of the freeway.


With the new design you can see why I call this the new Face of Buick The sporty design catches the crowds eye and leaves them thinking “did I just see a Buick??”

It does have some power behind it, only being a 4 cylinder, but that is also do to the amazing transmission. It handles well in the snow (which is super important in Utah) and even has a cool parking break. All in all this is a great ride and still one of the best I have driven.
