Both the Regal and 200 have much less rear seat room than the average midsize sedan. Adults up to about six feet in height will fit, but with little room to spare. see full Buick Regal review |

Major seven hour trip in total comfort for both of us. Not one ache or pain or "I gotta get out of this car" see full Buick Regal review |

Since the car came from Opel (EU), it is naturally made for smaller fold. The rear is comfortable, just a little lacking in legroom at times. see full Buick Regal review |
