Used 2019 Buick Regal TourX Consumer Reviews
It's an Opel!
Wow! Got the essence trim for $30.500, probably could have got a few more $$$ knocked off but they gave me a great deal on trade in. Some reviewers complain of the start/stop feature. Easy to override, put in manual 'tiptronic' mode at stop lights. Heck, it is more fun. My wife did not want the Nanny features so it does not have pkg 2. I have to agree with her, much more fun to drive the car without it yelling at me every two minutes that I am doing something wrong. Yes, cupholders could use a redesign but have figured out to use low commuter cups to get to temp control. Android auto is great. And the power. 2.0 t eco tech GM engine is assume, yes you may have to do some work and shift it manually but that is what driving is about. Ride is amazing, had an issue with a clunking sound first 100 miles, dealer put in a new shock absorber, that was the issue. Did I say this is an Opel? Made in Germany, feels like it and drives like it. Too bad Opel got bought out by Puegot who makes really good pepper mills! This car will disappear off the Buick lots so buy one now. Dont be like the rest of the sheep and buy a CUV!

Wounder if this vehicle has been rushed to market
We are leasing a new 2018 Buick Tour X, after taking delivery of the vehicle I was washing it. Noticed that the driver side mirror was the wrong color, and the backup grid was not staying on, and a piece of the trim on the rear quarter panel was loose (if we had gone to a car was it may have ripped it off). It took the dealership a month to get the new mirror in the right color. They were to check what was causing the backup grid problems,and fix the trim on the rear quarter pane. The mirror was fixed with the right color that matched the rest of the car,the trim was fixed but they did not what was causing the problem with the backup grid, GM tech told them to resit the radio to factory sittings and see if that would help, well it hasn't. After a short while we started have a very ear piercing squealing noise coming from under the hood, went back to the dealership again they had no idea what the noise was coming from, set up an appointment. Before we got to the appointment the vehicle started throwing several different codes and the car would not come out of park, all this the car was running. had to have the car towed to the dealership. It was a loose positive electrical cable going to the fuse block that had come loose, fixed. Still no fix for the backup grid they told us that GM tech was wright a patch to fix the problem, no time table but should have it done before Christmas. Back to the dealership again for a grinding noise coming from the front end under breaking, we were told that both of the lower control arms on these vehicles were bad and that they would need to be replaced. Waited another month for parts, oh by the way the patch for the problem with the backup grid never came. The dealership has told us that GM tech said it should have the patch for the backup grid by January no fix yet, now it is to be in February, we will see.

Good car, great value for the money
I needed an all-wheel drive with large cargo space and the TourX turned out just right for me. Smooth quiet ride that is way better than comparably priced Outback or other SUV. I like the handling, and acceleration is impressive. I get about 26-27 mpg on mixes driving with regular unleaded and easily over 30mpg on the highway. For the price I paid, you really can’t ask for anything more. Update: I have had this car for 19 months (Nov 2019-July 2021). It has 21k now. No problem whatsoever. Update (July 2024): 92k and still running great. Had the battery replaced under warranty. Other than that, not a single issue.

Fast awesome ride but few mechanical problems
2018 Buick TourX Essence $40,500 paid $32,000. 4500 miles loaner car. Traded my one of a million 2.5i Outback Ltd to unique limited production TourX. Comparing less engine noise, faster, 32 vs 28 MPG 70MPH, quiet, flat soft ride, handling excellent. Newly purchased I heard a brake noise final 5 ft of a stop. They wil replace the lower control arms. To much bushing play. Subwoofer compartment (Spare tire) fills up with water. They will replace upper hatch seal gasket. It’s worth all of the problems.
A spiffy German Buick!
I was looking for a station wagon, after driving Audi’s and BMW’s for the past 10 years. I had seen this model, with an Opel badge in Germany, and was surprised to see 2 in the parking lot of Vaden of Beaufort, with the Buick badge! I test drive a leftover 2019, loved it, bought it, and I am in a great car with an American motor, Japanese transmission and assembled in Germany. All-wheel drive, fully- loaded, and a great price (it is being discontinued at the end of this model year.). Love it!
