New ride, what do you guys think?

Traded in my sentra sr for this 2011 Buick regal cxl turbo with 22500 miles.

Does it come with an AARP card? j/k. Actually I think that's an attractive car. Although I haven't driven one yet, I did get an opportunity to sit in one at the Philly Auto show and was impressed. Congrats on the new ride!

. That's what every one thought when i said Buick regal, it does ride very smooth though. Thanks

I got to drive one of those when GM came to my school to show off their new lineup and I have to say, the newer Regal Turbo was the most fun car I got to drive. (granted, I didn't get to drive the new 'Vette). Felt quicker even than the Camaro that they brought out.. Very quick, comfortable, and lots of sound system when you want it.
Congratulations!

Weren't those available with a manual trans as well?

The turbo version had an optional 6 speed, though I'd be curious how many they actually sold.

You can get one for 2015 too. the GS AWD model...starts at $33K...

As an after thought, before we start clowning anyone for buying a Buick, we might want to point out that Buick is building a 4 door sedan with a turbo and a manual trans. Nissan is not.

My first choice was a maxima, but after driving a cvt for almost 2 yrs i couldn't buy another car with that trans.

That's both funny and sad...

I'd bet a lot of other people have made that same decision.

congrats on the new whip

[nissangirl74]

I'd like to drive one. Just to see for myself how it performs. That involves a lot of talking on the phone with sales people who trace your phone numbers and call you back 20 times a day though. So not looking forward to that. -.-

Congrats! Glad you enjoy the new car. Those are pretty sweet, comfy and competent cruisers.

So true. Sadly that may be the next type of car I shop for - sedan with some fun factor and a stick. They only have a couple years to get it together.

I'm in a sore spot because I'm not interested in Subaru (the new STI, or any previous STI for that matter, just don't do it for me). I wanted to stay Japanese because I trust Japanese brands the most for quality and reliability. I don't trust domestic cars for quality and I don't trust euro cars for reliability (or quality in some cases). However, the only car on the market that ticks all my boxes as far as features is the Audi S4 (without getting into obscene pricing, that is - because it would be the BMW M5 all day), but I'm terrified of my wallet getting bent over via repairs after the warranty is up.

I'm one of those freaks that loves the new Lexus F Sport models, but I can't get a stick. If they release a 6MT for the IS350 that would definitely be my next car.

My greatest fears are coming true - I feel that I'm going to be beaten into submission regarding my manual transmission criteria.

I'm right there with you. I'm not ever selling the Speed3. She's gonna be a million-miler, same as the Frontier.
