2012 Buick Regal GS Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! KZread's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we will take an up close and personal in depth look at the 2012 Buick Regal GS. 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.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. 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. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of KZread!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.
