2011 Buick Regal CXL

By Zaheer on Aug 02, 2011 with Comments 0


Opel has set up its plant for Buick Regal at Russelsheim in Germany as almost half of its components are supplied by Germany. The Regal earlier purposed to be Saturn Aura that had to be launched by GM as GM’s check over Opel was not clear. And this launch helped GM to cling onto Opel.

After all the effort the that has been put by Opel’s engineers, Regal has come forth as an astonishingly pleasurable sedan which does not hold anything that is mutual with the grandmother’s Buick. GM has moved in another direction when it comes to Regal’s power gears as there’s going to be an elective stick shift transmission in a Buick after a very long time.

The starting range has an engine that uses 2.5-litre in producing 182 horsepower and has a six speed automatic gearbox. This car is great for people who run it at a medium speed on the mediocre roads, but if driven at a high speed the car gets breathless and sounds cracking if it’s forced too much.

The Buick Regal is too telling and very appealing to one and all. Its exterior design is too hot, trendy, forward looking and up-to-date. At the same time it is very European to look at and that is exactly where Opel is rooted at.

The cabin of this car is too comfy, beautiful, appealing and is way ahead of the older Buick. There’s a lot of leg space available at the back seat. Only problem I faced inside was that sometimes the centre console lid can block your way while shifting the gears.

Even its steering is very impressive and meaty. It has a better sports element to it than the previous editions of the Buick.

The main problems faced while driving this car is that it is great for people who run it at a medium speed on the mediocre roads, but if driven at a high speed the car gets breathless and sounds cracking if it’s forced too much.

The only bad thing that can be said about Regal is that its telematics are not that great and despite of being so cool and up-to-date like any other mainstream sedan it still does not have an adhesive user interface. Another problem with the Buick is that it is very slow and unprocessed and its 182 HP four-cylinder is not matching with the chasis.

Even in terms of fuel efficiency it is not that great as it delivers a mere 19mpg in the streets and 30 mpg on the main roads.

All I can say is that Regal that once was a symbol of average GM cars has now become a symbol of what all GM can do correctly and substantially well.
