Buick Regal

Buick’s mid-sizer becomes more appealing for ’14, with a subtle refresh inside and out. A revised model lineup makes the zippy, 259-hp 2.0-liter turbo four the entry-level Regal. A 182-hp mild-hybrid 2.4-liter powers the next-up model, while the range-topping GS remains on top. It gets the 259-hp turbo engine, zoomier styling, a sportified interior, and an available manual gearbox. All-wheel drive is available with the turbo models, though beware: they can get expensive as options are added.
