Used 2019 Buick Regal TourX Consumer Reviews
Great family car.
Not quite a luxury car, but definitely a step above basic. Love having something different.

DO NOT BUY A TOURX-MAYBE
Did not have much time to see if this car was worth the money. Had an accident and found out GM has orphaned the vehicle. The parts needed to put the car back on the road are not available since GM has not developed the parts supply and are not willing to do a separate run. (Headlight and side view mirror.) Car can not legally be driven so I'm stuck with paying hundreds in a car payment without driving it or ruining my credit by letting it be repossessed. SHAME ON YOU GM. UPDATE: Buick finally came up with the parts and my repaired Buick was returned to me in mid-Dec, 5 months after bringing it to the body shop. Still have not been driving it much due to COVID-19 crisis issues. Seems like a nice car but I reserve judgment until I have an opportunity to operate it regularly for a while. At the moment, dislikes include that it does not run well on regular gas. They should be more overt with the "runs better on high-octane fuel" warning vs hiding it in small print in the owners manual. Likes include performance when I DO use high-octane fuel. UPDATE Oct 2020: Went on 2 long trips (3000 mi round trip) and planning a 3rd. Gas mileage not great and premium fuel is pricey, but performance and comfort were good. Solid storage capacity for 2 persons with 10 day's of luggage each. Had another problem with parts availability when a side window was broken and took 2 weeks to get a replacement though part of that was Safelite's fault. Electronics are good but too many re-boots requiring stop, turn off, turn car back on. Can be frustrating if traveling. UPDATE 4/26/2021: Approaching 30K miles. No changes. Overall comfortable but premium fuel cost rising. Very good performance out of the turbo charged engine (while using premium fuel). Problem with electronics not as evident traveling locally. Good storage capacity. No out of the ordinary maintenance issues.

Everything is great, except one thing
Fantastic ride, great fuel economy! Agree with all the other reviews EXCEPT the upgrade stereo is a complete piece of crap. Will not link to our phones, leaves FM as only option. Stereo is getting pulled out soon and an Alpine with more features is going in. Recommend everyone do the same

Rented UK Vauxhall/Opel version
We rented the UK version of this car so I can't speak to the US version in terms of engine. The rental used a diesel engine that ran great and got great mileage, I don't know the US engine. I had never even heard of Vauxhall and was looking for information on this car here when I found it was the same basic car. We drove all over the highlands, narrow winding roads at highway speeds, small towns, and some city driving. This is one of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven. It handles really well on windy roads. The parking aides and sensors were really useful as this is a big car for a lot of UK spaces. The passenger space is really roomy and comfortable. The storage space is incredible. I wouldn't buy it without test driving the US engine, but everything else is top notch. I've seen reviews try to compare it to Subaru wagons. Its not an off road vehicle, it's a much nicer drive for anywhere else.

10,000 miles
I think this is the best overall car I have ever owned. I am an enthusiast having owned over 100 cars in my life. Car is fast and handles great. All wheel drive is a great benefit and works great on soft sand. Clearance is lacking but the skid plate helps. I get about 26 mpg in town and have gotten as high as 42 in one 50 mile segment. Normally on the road I get around 35 mpg. I improved the small item storage with some add on pieces bought online. Overall I am very pleased. I now have 28,000 trouble free miles. Except for a flat tire due to a nail at a construction site, no issues at all. Sorry they have dropped this model since it means I will need to keep this one longer than normal for me. Oh well.
