It's a German-built vehicle

Built by Opel and imported from Germany. I rented a Vauxhall Insignia last summer in Edinburgh Scotland and loved the drive and feel. Found out later that it's built in Germany by Opel and imported into the US under the Buick Regal badge. The US version has noticeable upgrades from the UK and European version. I was considering a Subaru Outback, but opted for the Buick due to it's larger cargo area. I do wish it had an additional inch or two of ground clearance.

This car is a joy to drive and I can't imagine getting a Mercedes, Volvo or BMW over it. It's so affordable with huge rear passenger space and overall cargo space. It's a big wagon and very stylish. Where I was concerned about its power I'm no longer. The 4 cylinder turbo get the car going very quickly for its size. It doesn't linger but is swift. Fully loaded with all the technology it is a super nice ride and fit & finish is excellent. Definitely German bred. If you're a wagon person you have to look at and drive one.

Excellent: handling, steering, brakes, ride comfort. Good mileage, smooth and quiet engine and transmission. The engine start stop is quiet and unobtrusive, unlike an Infiniti that I rented earlier this year. The optional LED headlights are great and really light up the road at night without being so bright that other drivers flash you. And the car was a screaming deal at $27,500 sale price VS. the $37,100 MSRP - especially with the standard 4 year bumper to bumper warranty. The optional blind spot alert and cross traffic alert work well. The not so good, so far: the option package upgraded stereo has a subwoofer where the spare tire would be, so there's no spare or jack at all, just a can of fix a flat and a compressor. The infotainment system randomly drops CarPlay in mid drive and requires you to unplug and re-plug your phone to reset it which is really annoying when it happens every 20 minutes during a road trip. Hopefully a software update will fix that. Also, for a $37,000 list price I would expect standard heated seats, which this car doen't have, even with $3k in options. Oh well. The $10,000 off list price goes a long way towards making up for that.

Purchased the Buick Tour X on a Thursday and left on Friday and drove 1200 miles to Waco, Texas. On the road we averaged 30 mpg and averaged 70 mph and the road comfort was great. Minimum road noise and the GPS system guided us around unfavorable road conditions (wrecks ahead) saving a good amount of time and frustration. We are now at 5400 miles after 10 week and enjoying the ride as much now as the first day.

No regrets purchasing a 2018 TourX, a very practical, car like, drop dead gorgeous, rare vehicle that turns heads. It really shines on the highway, getting 35 -37 mpg on premium, under favorable conditions, over 39 mpg. Aggressive, fast driving and regular gas and it drops significantly. Heavy stop and go is in the low 20s, light city is in the mid-20s. During a violent swerving and breaking maneuver at 75mph when a semi pulled out while trying to pass him, the TourX remained in complete control probably saving our lives, certainly preventing an evil thrashing by the backend of the trailer. The AWD stability system and the low center of gravity made the difference. Made in Germany and sold around the world under different guises, the US version uses the GM bullet proof 2.0 liter turbo four tuned to 240hp and an eight speed transmission similar to other models. Most importantly you can get it worked on at your local GM dealer. Astute owners will appreciate European design elements versus those found on Japanese vehicles. The negatives are narrow front seats, expensive without discounts, and mediocre interior materials/textures as most reviewers have identified. With all that glass, I put premium Llumar Pinnicle tint on the widows. Coupled with a superb air conditioner, you have to be careful not to get a head cold even on 100 degree days. The dealer was upfront that finding someone who could appreciate the TourX was rare having only sold one before. With just a short easy session of give and take, I had very substantial discount without taking a hit on my trade. 2/24/22: With 18,500 miles and three years, the Tourx has been completely reliable. However, The lower control arms were replaced under warranty based on a service bulletin for noisy bushings under breaking conditions. Gas mileage at interstate speeds is excellent, sometimes as high as 38mpg, much less when aggressively driven in stop and go. Power is more than adequate especially once the turbo spools up. Before you know it you doing a hundred passing trucks clogging the interstate. The vehicle is supremely useful and maneuverable being an AWD wagon without the excessive height of an SUV. The interior is the weak point, mediocre materials and lack of attention to a “tight” fit. Front seats are definitely narrower than most SUVs and could present problems for full sized folks. Also those gorgeous wheels and wide low profile tires are harsh on rough two lane roads. It is an unusual vehicle and a real head turner making most vehicles newer and more expensive vehicles look obsolete. Assembled in Germany with GM running gear and serviced at Buick dealers, it the best of both worlds.
