Buick Regal Tourx Customer Reviews

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  Great on gas on long trips

• Cargo Space

  tons of room for family and items

• Interior Space

  very unique and easy to work with

Cons

Pros

• Cargo Space

  A wonderful amount of space. Originally designed as the Opel Insignia Touring Wagon in Germany, this car has more space than my wife's small SUV.

• Fuel Economy

  My wagon got great gas mileage on the highway, usually in the low 30s. In-town driving usually was between 18-20.

• Value

  My wagon was the Essence trim (the highest level) and came loaded with tech and features for 2019. I highly recommend getting the last great American wagon if you can get your hands on it!

Cons

• Cost to Maintain

  Being a German care, that means parts are a little harder to come by. GM did "Buick-ify" some of the trim and infotainment, but the actual parts are all at a premium price.

Pros

• Interior Space

  more than enough room in the front seats and back. very comfortable ride.

• Styling

  never had a car that got so much attention. was selling my c-5 corvette, and people coming to look at it kept asking about my TourX.

• Value

  I find it comparable to a Volvo v60 or v90 for A WHOLE LOT LESS. I think the exterior is even more attractive than either of those.

Cons

• Power

  not the most get up and go, but at 56 years old, I can’t handle too fast.

• Technology and Entertainment

  since the latest year model you can get is a 2020, there’s 4+ years of new technology out there. Apple car play makes everything alright though.

• Cabin Noise

  not the quietest in the Highway, but sufficiently so. overall, I absolutely love the look and feel of the car.

Pros

• Cabin Noise

  Really quiet! BOSE sound system is GREAT!!!

• Fuel Economy

  I get ~ 33 MPG on the highway.

• Cargo Space

  LOVE the wagon-like space in the back. GREAT car for a trip!

Cons

Pros

• Styling

  Though "Buick" and "station wagon" bring up bad memories of the Century and the Roadmaster, the TourX is a much sleeker design in touch with the times, both inside and out.

• Interior Space

  In spite of its sleek exterior, the TourX has a large amount of interior space in both the front and rear seats. My car has the optional panoramic sunroof (extending behind the rear seat), but there is plenty of headroom and legroom in the rear seat.

• Value

  The TourX offers many of the core features of the Volvo V90 Cross Country wagon in an on-road oriented package that matches the Subaru Outback in price.

Cons

• Styling

  The TourX is not something for shy people. Considering how rare these are, a lot of people will ask you what it is.

Pros

• Cabin Noise

  quiet

• Ride and Handling

  outstanding handling & smooth ride

Cons

Pros

• Cargo Space

  plenty of room for everything

• Ride and Handling

  Great ride and the handling makes it fun to drive

Cons

• Ride and Handling

  Tires are causing me issues. If they aren’t inflated just right I will get a vibration so I will be switching out the Continentals

• Dashboard

  Radio programming isn’t working

Pros

• Ride and Handling

  Smooth and quick

• Cargo Space

  Tons of room for whatever you need to do!

• Power

  The turbo is quick and powerful! Very fun to drive!

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  The economy is fine. But it is equipped with the motor turn off at a stop feature for better fuel economy. This is the one and only thing I hated about this car! Luckily there is a work around for not too much money so don't let that deter you from the Buick Tour X!

Pros

• Cargo Space

• Ride and Handling

• Braking

Cons

• Fuel Economy

Pros

• Styling

  I'm honestly surprised the amount of attention this car gets. You just don't see many on the road, and in a world of CUVs, it stands out in the crowd. The interior, while not too fancy, has a fairly sleek layout and isn't a bad place to spend some time during a road trip.

• Interior Space

  I'm a big, tall guy and have more than enough room in the driver seat. Even the back seats can comfortably fit adults regardless of how far back the front seats are.

• Cargo Space

  I mean, you probably wouldn't be looking at a wagon if this wasn't a consideration. A nice amount of storage space with the rear seats up, and downright cavernous with the rear seats folded flat.

Cons

• Technology and Entertainment

  I still have some warranty life to try to get this sorted by Buick, but the infotainment is glitchy, particularly in regards to phone connectivity. The bluetooth connection just seems to occasionally not work and Apple CarPlay tends to have momentary audio dropout issues. Reverse camera lines disappear sometimes too. Do some googling and you'll see that I'm not alone in this experience (although some people luck out and don't run into this). My understanding is that the earlier 2018 models (dubbed "red needle" by the TourX community due to the gauge cluster) don't tend to have these issues. That said I think the "white needle" looks a lot nicer and has a more modern UI, just need to get the kinks ironed out. Not a deal breaker IMO, but fixing it would make this a 5-star car for me.
