'16-'17 Buick Regal Sport Touring - Is it worth buying?

Hello everyone! Been car hunting, and I can't get my mind off the '17 Regal Sport Touring. Based of reviews, most cars in general regardless of brand 2017 and newer all seem to have some hiccups and nothing seems reliable anymore. The idea of driving with a CVT freaks me out and I don't know if I trust any of the Japanese brand cars now as well.

Enter '17 Regal. My biggest concern with this car is . . . well the lack of negative talk. I know Buick didn't exactly sell a lot of these guys, so I feel like I am lacking the appropriate sample size to make an informed call. I've heard the engine is the same as the one that was in the '16 model. I have hard engine problems with the '16, including power train concerns. Mainly from data presented by dashboard-light.com Yet again I don't know if they are opperating from a fair sample size either.

If any owners of the '17 Regal can weigh in, that would be awesome. I am looking for something to take me shorts distances with some long ones in between when I hit clinincal rotations in grad school. I am overall looking for something I can change the oil in every 3-4k miles, and won't give me headaches outside of that. I wouldn't mind leasing going forward, but love what I have read on its performance along with how it basically tows the line of a luxury car while being a little more affordable
I take very good care of all my vehicle's. I have a car that lasted 27 years as a daily driver. I would strongly encourage anyone considering to purchase a 2017 buick regal touring sport turbo not to. I have had nothing but problems. In the 4 years I have had this car i have had the replace almost every sensor. The manifold cover and gaskets. Both CV joints and all 4 wheel hubs. High pressure valve. The brake vacuum pump went out on me going 70mph down the interstate. I literally had no brakes. Do yourself a favor and never purchase one of these cars. It just might save your life.
 
I have the 17 GS and it's been trouble free for the last 7 yrs, it's my garage queen as it's only driven on some weekends and long road trips, with 28K on the clock, love the speed, handling and overall looks of the car, do 2 oil changes per year as it hardly gets any mileage on it and only run SHELL NITRO 91
