Still quiet, but the road noise is bothersome. A quick check of the Concert Sound system proves that the speakers can drown out the road roar, but the only concert I ever attended that featured sound quality like the Regal's was an 11th grade band competition in Durand, Michigan. After 45 minutes, I'm back home. The Regal wasn't particularly fun to drive, but it was powerful and handled reasonably well. The brakes provided decent feel through the pedal, but the Magnasteer magnetic variable effort steering could only offer proper amounts of effort while driving.
Road feel was virtually non-existent.
The optionally heated seats were very comfortable, and the ride was pleasant so long as the suspension wasn't pushed too hard by the driver or the road surface. The supercharged powertrain was the Regal GS's best mechanical feature, providing speed when needed and imperceptible shifts from the excellent 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission. In my driveway, I evaluated the interior of the Regal. It flows well, integrating contemporary design with traditional Buick cues. However, I can't help but think the ergonomics engineers were sleeping during the development of the car.
