Thank God my 2015 Impala 2LZ doesn't have that irritating S/S! ( Wouldn't have bought it if so equipped!!! ) Right or wrong.......I could care LESS about gas-mileage. I'll let other people save the world the half-gal of gas/year/car. Faron

On my 2015 Impala 2LZ, I'm on my FOURTH set of "Side Object Detection" Modules!!! Only had to pay full price for 1 sensor to be installed. The rest were taken care of by a GM TSB. If the Dealer does the replacing, there's a 2yr warranty replacement on GM Parts, so that is how I've had the other...

My 2015 Impala 2LZ has the LFX 3.6L VVT. (Beautiful Burgundy; Black Leather; has all options except the radar cruise-control; & has the 20" factory wheels....) Maybe I'm a little [email protected] even though it's badged as a "Flex-Fuel" car, it hasn't seen A DROP of Ethanol! I ONLY use Certified...

Holiday-Stations are a little different. * All 3 Octane-levels are "Certified Top-Tier" cleaning fuels. * Their marketing-graphics/Logo use the phrase "Blue-Planet". * The 87 & 89 Octanes have Ethanol. * At least here in Fargo ND, ONLY the Premium is Ethanol-Free. * Their Premium (of course!)...

In my loaded 2015 3.6L V-6 Impala LTZ, I >> use Top-Tier NO-Ethanol Premium from Shell or Holiday stations. Once a month, I'll put a 1/3-bottle of Seafoam in our cars. My small-engine stuff never sees Ethanol either.....ALWAYS with a bit of SF in the same gas. The Wife's 2014 Buick Regal (2.0L...

2014 AWD Turbo Regal, Prem.II group. 2.0L DOHC SIDI w/VVT Turbo. Wifes car, so I'm not sure of mileage lol! This was the 4th of 4 free oil-changes. OUT: GM's Dexos-1 Semi-Synthetic 5W-30, AC-Filter, as per Owners-Manual. IN: Same. >>> As always...Top-Tier Fuels!!! Occasional Seafoam in...

Ah yes...the endless car-nostalgia bit! I'm 53 now. Grew up farming in E. ND. I do miss driving the BIG tractors!! I can drive anything, but prefer automatics in cars & pickups. I'm surprised most car lines even offer manuals any more! The perceived advantages of manuals are almost irrelevant...

I'm a little late here?! We got a new 2014 Regal AWD Turbo...every option. I LOVE the car & so does the Wife! The $1,000 Metallic-Black paint, & the $1,000 AQ6 Chrome wheels look stud imo. Accelerates strong, & rides nice...not too soft, not too harsh. Very solid feel. New msrp was $39,500 I...

WTH?! That's the cutest/oddest/most-random pic I've seen!! LOL! Faron

Interesting stuff there guys! All-in-all, I'm glad our Regal has a pretty decent AWD-system for the class/segment it's in. I'm excited to "feel it" in action! Fargo just missed a big snow-system. It went to our south. I kinda wanted to see what the Regal would do in new snow/ice! Faron

Hmmmm... I realize it's not the exact same unit obviously, but the wildly expensive Bugatti Veyrons have a permanent AWD Haldex traction system. Maybe you should tell that to the Bugatti designers. They seem to know what they're doing.... Just sayin'! Faron

Hopefully this hasn't been linked before ???? It's from Feb. 2010 on the GMI-site. Shows a good pic of a Transfer-Case? Haldex.... Faron

Obviously you'd probably get that car for less than $20G?!??! That sounds like a good value! Sadly, the MT is such a liability for most people. If is was an AT, it would've been gone long ago...my guess anyway. Faron

Hey Benzadmiral! At least for the 2014's & 15's, the only way the MT is available, is FWD-ONLY. I'm not a MT fan at all. I can drive-'em just fine....grew up farming! I can drive anything, but in cars, naaaaahhh, give me an AT! We get Buicks 4-yr. warranty, & 4 "free" Oil-changes. I'm...

Hi guys! We're pretty new to our 2014 Regal AWD 2.0 Turbo. Loaded Prem.II group. We got mid-July. I posted pics of it here in the VEHICLES forum, if interested. Owner's-Manual obviously stresses Dexos-1 Licensed Oils. It specifically states to use the GM Semi-Synthetic 5W-30. 0W-30 suggested...
