2016 Buick Regal with Sport Touring Pkg.

Pros: Nimble, European-feeling driving character; unexpected availability of manual transmission on front-wheel-drive GS model; classy cabin with clear control layout

Cons: Middling acceleration and disappointing fuel economy with base engine; cramped back seat; GS models ride more firmly than other Regals

CG Says: For 2016, the Buick Regal gets a Sport Touring appearance package and an updated IntelliLink infotainment system with available Apple CarPlay capability. Also, the eAssist mild hybrid powertrain is now restricted to fleet sales. Regal is arguably the sportiest car to come from Buick in more than two decades. Its European-flavored driving experience might be off-putting to brand traditionalists, but it surely will appeal to those who might not otherwise have considered a Buick. The Regal GS model is an interesting take on the factory-tuned performance car. It delivers solid handling with little sacrifice to overall refinement.
