Yes, heated seats and heated steering wheel too! I'm really enjoying the passive entry. I can have my keys in my pocket, and without hitting the unlock button on the FOB, I can open any door I touch. None of the other doors will open though, just the one I'm closest too. It's great to not have to dig my keys out every time I'm carrying a bunch of stuff. As it gets colder and colder, the remote start is going to be wonderful. I'm keeping my spare FOB upstairs so that just as I'm brushing my teeth and everything before I head out the door, I can start the car and get it all warmed up. It's going to be great to step into a warm car for once.
EDIT: Both front seats have power adjustments and heat. ^^^
But yeah, all these newer cars are heavy as ****. Thanks US Safety Regs! :roll:

Some Cars.com writer says she finds the Regal's handling to be poor, which has been echoed by a couple other writers as well. Maybe they are relying on skid pad numbers or something, because I don't know what the hell they are talking about. It's a 4-door family sedan, not a Ferrari. That said, I haven't found any shortcomings with the handling. In fact, I think the chassis is rather stiff and the suspension does good job of keeping cornering attitude pretty neutral.
I suppose when they write these articles, they have to find something to bitch about. But for me, I find it more than capable (for what it is).

Drinks beer!
That I can get behind!
I need to remove the intake silencer from the Buick. I really enjoy the car, but it needs more turbo noise! :fuji:
Time to mod, lol.

It's the perfect mod too, because it doesn't cost me anything but time!
Forget what I said about the traction control on the Buick. If you need to get moving in a hurry, you better turn that shit off and roast the tires or it'll pull throttle. :lol:

:lol: It's on by default every time you start the car. You have to manually disable it. I'm a pretty aggressive driver, but I do try to keep it reasonable for good gas mileage purposes.
No, not spinning endlessly. But you can definitely roast the tires if you want to. I had to pull out into high speed traffic yesterday while making nearly a 90 degree turn to get in the correct lane. Turning put more weight on the driver's side tires, leaving the passenger side front tire with the least weight on it. That of course made it spin considerably and the traction control reduced throttle input until traction was regained. I should have turned off traction control and then stood on the gas. The passenger front would have spun like crazy, but I surely would have had a faster launch.
It's kind of a dangerous place to pull out into traffic, by virtue of the road design, the fact that people speed like crazy through there and the trees and bushes aren't trimmed which prevents you from being able to see traffic coming your way until you have already committed to the launch. So you kind of have to just inch out as far as you can, take a quick peek and put your right foot down hard. The road is also pretty beat up right there, so that also contributes to a bit of wheel hop which makes the whole situation worse.
I'm not really complaining though. I do really enjoy the car. Just not a fan of traction control that seems to be standard on most new vehicles these days.
