During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today.

In germany this is called a Opel Insignia OPC and I think it's by far the best car they've ever build !
Great review Kyle !
I'm 23 and want a Buick. Been loyal since 16 and my 98 Regal will never die! :D
Hello Kyle. I'm a 17 years old boy from Romania, Europe, and I'm watching your car videos for about 2 years. I just want to say you that I am a very passionate for cars just like you and I appreciate what you do and I wish that maybe oneday, I will make such more videos about cars just like you, but here in Romania we don't have such more car dealers. Anyway, we can get the driver license only after we celebrate 18 years old and that's pretty annoying. Luck still!
Ive been watching vids of the old GS's all day, and now you upload this
Yes
Okay that's final. This is going to be my next car. LOVE IT!
Thanks for reviewing this one man.
How did you like it? Thinking about buying one
@@brandonprouse9188me too now🙏🏾
My father has this car. He's only like 40. But sometimes I get to drive it and this car is FAST and you can hear the turbo whistle! love this car we have it in the red tintcoat
Let me remind you of a Buick in the eighties called a Grand National, which continues to be competitive even today. Ground breaking extreme performer in its time, affordable and marketed to younger buyers. It happened before, it can happen again.
Plus, the 1987 Buick Grand National was extremely popular with the FBI.
I'm 14 and I want a Buick Regal. In my mind this and the Hyundai Sonata are the two prettiest cars on the road, but I'm leaning more toward this as my first car.
One of the best Buick design ever this car design is stunning I love it to bad I can’t afford to buy it
Glad to see most are smart enough to recognize this as an Opel or Vauxhall. I like it a lot.
Buick has come light years forward in terms of aesthetics and innovation over the last 5 or so years!
I have a 2012 regal GS 6 Speed Manual transmission and I am 22 years old. awesome car, I highly recommend it. very comfortable, fun, and the power is great.
+Brandon Trongale is it reliable though? any repair problems? im thinking of buying one
Any problems?
Buick stepping up their game.
This car looks great. If I had the money I would buy one.
Plus, it's always fun when someone who doesn't know about remote start walks by the car when you start it remotely. Their usual reaction is "wtf ghosts"
Nice American luxury with a dose of German engineering. Good video, as always Kyle. Keep up the good work!
You are correct. This Buick is a rebadged Opel Insignia which was designed and engineered in Germany. Some people in the comments are calling it the American answer to the 3 series and A4. But it's not, not by a longshot. Still though, highest quality Buick ever.
Yes Please, I want one. What a a sharp car. Can't wait until we get one at the dealership. Being a lot attendant has its perks.
wow never really been a fan of buick but i am very impressed with this and the buick verano.
Had one as a rental about 4 weeks ago. Very nice.
I love these GS's!
I had a love hate relationship with my 89 Buick Regal Custom. It ran flawlessly, always started in any condition, had a good engine, but everything else went wrong.
Great Video! I liked the edited-in narration mixed with the on-camera. A feature packed vehicle and a 6-speed manual!! How'd you manage to catch Heart's "Crazy On You" twice in the same video??? LOL.
dam thats a high quality vehicle right there
What an invigorating engine note!
Is it me or is this Opel Insignia OPC with Buick badge.
the insignia opc has 321 hp and uses a 2.8 turbo engine, and is awd, but yes pretty much the rest of it is
Kyle, love your videos. Have you considered getting a lavalier microphone that you can wear on your shirt when you make your videos? It would greatly enhance the sound plus if you put a windscreen on it it would cut out most of the wind thats troubled some of your videos.
Opel Insignia OPC
Really loving this car !
I think this car's central multimedia with a lot of buttons, its the best ideal for a car's central multimedia, less screen and more buttons..
@saabkyle04 : Your welcome, Kyle ! I have driven many Insignias but the OPC is really the only one I would like to review on day. In germany the car has 325 bhp, which makes it the fastest road car Opel has ever made...Greetings from germany
Man, you're videos have come a long way. Keep up the good work!
What a cool car. Everything about it makes sense for an adult owner. That glove-box will probably fit a Glock with a 33 round magazine, and five 1911's. The speakers in the trunk seem to be pretty beefy... The wheels are cool. The exhaust is neat, the overall design is neat, really.. I'm 6'2, so I can't say I dig the space, but otherwise, it's a really neat car!
Nice! But gotta love the classic G-Body Turbo.
Nice choice Kyle, great job as usual!
I'm deciding between this or the Subaru WRX. My grandmother worked for GM so with employee discounts they will cost about the same. Tough decisions..
buick's sure come a long way
Great overview of a great car! P.S> Why did you cover the model of the Canon SLR with tape???
I'm pretty sure that the brake lights and rear turn signals are where the rear fog lights are in the Euro model, because they are oddly placed.
I just love the ports on the hood.
I have an autostart because I live in Alaska and it gets to -40 and sometimes colder. I let it run for about 5 minutes before I start to drive around.
Really want one of these! The Vauxhall Insignia VXR though, it sounds better :p
true. a good mix of American and German technology and engineering
they should really make an updated grand national with recent 3800 engines and turbos with this regal body, would be an amazing car
If this wasn't badged as a Buick i'd definitely buy it...
You know, I like the fact that GM, and other American auto companies, are reaching out to their overseas subsidiary companies to make better quality vehicles. This car is better than anything GM can put out of Detroit. They finally realize that European engineering is dominant.
All it is, is a luxury version of a Chevy Cruze like another person commented. Still a nice ride.
no, that is the Verano. There is no variant of this vehicle across the GM American Lineup
Justin McKune no
Wrong video, bud. That’s the verano. This is the Opel Insignia based Buick
I love your vids man keep it up!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the video on the Regal GS, Kyle! Good job!
Maybe you don't want to drive a Buick but any automobile can attract any buyer for many reasons and ultimately design is what sells cars.
For all of you that need to get a clue. Yes, GM, and Ford and Chrysler own other car companies outside the US, therefore, that is why those that have a clue know that this same car is sold elsewhere as a Opel or Vauxhal. They are GOOD cars! Ever had one sneak up behind you on the autobahn? American car companies know how to turn a profit in other countries as well. Buick is large in China, and the smaller sportier Fords do well in Germany.
Wheels look amazing.
I know but that doesn't change the fact that it was still built by Opel in Germany and then rebadged for Buick. Therefore germans actually did allow that to come out of factory.
Wouldn't you get a better ride quality and possible better 0-60 time with the 19's vs. the 20's due to more sidewall and less rolling inertia?
Insignia/regal is the best looking opel/buick ever made!
I sw the picture, and I was like hellll nooo! that's the insignia.. I saw you're comment and I was like, damn I'm not the first to notice.
best buy in this class
LOL , dude im 18 and i will most likely buy this car, i mean have you seen it in person? its awesome, its elegant, its "kinda sporty" its freaking awesome, i think Buicl wont have any problems bringing younger audience to buy their cars
@PRODRIFTER97 Because it is a Opel Insignia. Its just assembled by Buick for US market.
Love the rims
This Engine has a flatter power band than the 2.8 in the OPC, we had it on the SRX and it was peaky and guzzled gas, not to mention we are getting a power upgrade when the regal gets the malibu and ATS' all new Ecotec II 2.0 T
my favorite car....
@saabkyle04 do a review between both regals ,some are made in germany ,and some are made in canada ,the ones with the front bumper license plate cutout is made in germany ,the solid front bumpers are the canadian built regals
Great video as always Kyle!
best auto evaluator
thank you
Time to trade in that roadmaster Kyle!
@mrwilk12 No, it's not the OPC. The Regal GS is front wheel drive and only has 275 hp.
@05Forenza The current Regal is actually built in Canada. Not in the U.S.
I'm 18 and I want a Buick.
@TheGetawayer We also have it in France. But OPC is not common at all here, you mostly see 2.0 CDTI 130 hp. Great car, but I heard they had reliability problems.
Kyle, I think you made a slight editing error at 8:11 and 8:33. You started talking about the braking distance, then finally told the braking distance after you stated the MPG. Just thought you'd like a heads up =P
the Buick looks really nice, i like the vid
kyle could you please make a review about the 2012 NISSAN PATROL if you could also answer if you can or cant please.
In Europe is the opel insignia OPC and in the UK is the vauxhall insignia VXR
Awesome video kyle
The dodge v8 R/T is sick man i got one today started it it was like a muscle, i think it is but its a sedan.
Fantastic car, I'd take this over that hideous 2.0t that Crapdai has!
looks like Opel Insignia OPC( in fact it is one, only with a faw Buick badges atatched)
but has a V4 instead of a V6 T
the only thing i wish buick did for this car was kept it with the muscle car styling and perfomance...oh well
Kyle,please try and do a review of the new ml 350.
You can even see it on the Opel-website...
I can see bits of Grand Prix/G6 in this.
I see where you are coming from drew. I'm 26 and drive a bmw 3 series. I am looking into the Regal GS and heavily considering it due to the fact the up keep i'm sure is much less than a BMW. I will say I haven't had the chance to test drive one so does it handle like a true German car. I would imagine it won't feel like a BMW but if comes close I would deff choose the GS.
Vauxhall Insignia SRI, Middle Trim Level, add on options so it is as Equipped as the Buick Regal GS and according to The Vauxhall Website as of 12June2013 you are looking at Paying £30,704.00
@PATjA15 i thought it could've been that but it really offsets the symmetry in the front design.. not a fan lol.
Opel Insignia!!!!
@emdec55 what are you talking about. Thats a really good 2.0 Turbo it has a lot of power, but the car is heavy. And the camary is a 2.5 that gets 35mpg not the V6.
Kyle...what are your future car purchasing plans? Thinking about a Mustang again maybe after you graduate? :)
is buick and opel belong together? because that model really look like the opel insignia.
buick regal = opel insignia in europe (except the UK, there it's called vauxhall). the OPC is a high performance insignia with a 325 hp V6 bi-turbo.
@commander316 the European versions do. The Vauxhall Insignia VXR/Opel Insignia OPC has 4WD and about 320bhp ish
to start a car in the summer or winter to get you ready to drive
Does the GS-button turn the instruments red?
hey kyle.Why don't you change your Roadmaster with this?
Love it!
@mrwilk12 no it's not insignia opc,this is standard 2.0 turbo,insignia opc produce 325hp...
You should put the price of the cars, lol nice video
in EU yes it is
but in US is Buick Regal GS
and in UK is Vauxhall Insignia
Beauuuutiful car
@ZingHighFive its a front parking sensor.
