Test Drive: 2015 Buick Regal - Autos.ca
It’s got really alluring lines that connect the whole car and make it seem really cute and playful. It might be the best executed sedan design in the entire GM lineup – and yes, I’m including the Cadillac range in that. In what can only be described as a complete shock, GM has actually built a car that looks smaller than it is. After driving it for a week, I feel the Regal might well become one of those hidden gems down the track. It hits a great spot between the regular Chevrolet lineup and the pricey Cadillac range, representing an alternative to the smaller and sportier ATS that doesn’t give up much in performance or luxury. From go to woah the engine pulls like a train, applying the sort of confident, burly strength to the road you might expect from a much larger engine with a few more cylinders. I’d prefer shorter ratios to really keep the Regal feeling alive. It’s a great engine and a great package. I finished the week of 90 percent city driving on 12. 2 L/100 km. Curiously I didn’t find any of the issues I found with the gearbox in the ATS , but I need to point out that this one also has. Source: www.autos.ca
