Hey guys, I'm going to be looking at a 2017 Buick Regal premium 2 with the 2.0T in it. Full boat, and comes with 1 yr gm b2b warranty. Has 31500 miles. Opinions good or bad?

I understand the 2014/15 2.0s had piston and rod bearing issues. Did they resolve those in the later years?

Holy sweet Jesus, that car was a rocket. Been a good long while since I had as entertaining a test drive, and here I thought the Corvette was quick. :ROFLMAO:

After some careful thought (and conversing with the wife over the logic of it all). I traded the Cruze in and bought it.

I think the in-laws Equinox has the same engine, runs good like you said. But it barely has any miles to comment on longevity

Same engine tuned differently. I was also looking at an '18 Sportback, but decided to stay with the '17. Tell ya what, its a nice car. Just got my winter tires and wheels done today (just in time for 3-6" snow!).
