2018 Buick Regal TourX Essence 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Bought a used 2018 loaded Essence model w/ 68K. I don't think I could have found a better vehicle for my 35 mile (each way) commute to work each day. The boxes I needed to check were: practicality, power (no slower than my '96 Nissan Maxima which this vehicle is replacing), not too expensive, good fuel economy, that looks good. Can't do the crossover/SUV thing, they just don't fit my driving style and there's a fuel economy penalty for riding high and sucking at handling. This wagon checked all the boxes and looks darn good doing it. A few thoughts: Exterior: I'm not a huge fan of the rear end design (chrome strip that runs into tail-lights is sort of off putting to me), but the rest of the car makes up for it. Before knowing this was a Buick, if someone slapped a Mercedes/BMW emblem on the front grill and I viewed it from that direction, I wouldn't have questioned it. Looks great from the side as well, very sleek design. Interior: Soft materials in all the right places, some reviewers complain about cheaper/hard plastics used for a "premium" brand-- they have a point, but what cost cutting GM did in that regard was done REALLY well. I honestly don't notice it unless I'm looking for a reason to fault the interior. The whole interior flows nicely, looks great, especially at night with the ambiance lighting strips. Controls are convenient and easy to use with good lighting at night. I have zero complaints about the interior and feel it's one of the best attributes of this car. Leather doesn't seem particularly high quality, but after 70K it's held up well and I hope that continues. Mechanicals: The LTG 2.0L turbo engine is a true gem. It's been many years since I've owned a four cylinder; always disliked them due to coarseness / noise, but this is leaps and bounds better than any 4 cyl I've ever owned. Extremely smooth and refined. Over 1500rpm or so, it has power anytime you need it and has diesel-like torque in all the normal driving situations, I rarely see it go over 2500RPM under acceleration unless I'm in a big hurry. The transmission is certainly geared for fuel economy, so it takes some prodding of the gas pedal if you want to drive spiritedly, or you can use the manual mode. Lots of torque management built in, there's a perceptible delay in between most shifts, but I don't find it offensive. For my commute, I seem to average 25-26mpg, mostly highway doing 70-80mph. Was hoping for better, but I'm not complaining either given the power this engine has when you want it and how effortless it feels during normal driving. AWD does it's thing imperceptibly. Want to stoplight drag race in the rain with that idiot that cut off 2 drivers to get in the lane beside you? This car will do it. You'll smoke that V6 Charger or 80% of other vehicles on the road. Ride / Comfort: This thing is literally a dream to drive. Granted I'm coming from an older car, but I've ridden/driven a lot of newer vehicles. Quiet and composed, handles extremely well for a car this size, while maintaining a smooth ride. Complaints: Not much center console storage (given its large size). Not really an issue for me, but the wife would surely have complaints if she can't store 3 water bottles and dump her oversize purse contents into it. Blind spot monitor has no audible alert when you attempt to change lanes with a car beside you. I feel this defeats the purpose of BSM. Obviously I don't make a habit of turning into vehicles, but sometimes my preparation for lane change (turn signal) timing is quicker than I can turn my head around, and I get surprised by a vehicle beside me that I hadn't anticipated (I'm one of those ones that try to be aware of vehicles around me at all times), Doesn't happen very often, but still would like some beep or something as I rarely look at the LED indicator in the mirrors. No ventilated seat option on a 2018 with black leather? Terrible omission. Also no front parking sensors or camera, which I found odd on a highly equipped 2018 vehicle. That huge sunroof glass over my head has some creaking to it at slow speeds / rough pavement. Turning the radio up solves that issue. Start/stop system is very annoying at times, wish it had a way to be more selective when it shuts the engine down. Will shut down anytime you come to a stop, whether you're in the front of your garage for 3 seconds waiting for the door to open, in stop and go traffic that is crawling along, etc. Selecting manual transmission mode defeats it, but it's a chore to remember at times. 2.0L LTG engine is known for leaking oil at the bottom of the timing chain cover, even on new cars. Mine seeps, but so far no drips. I suspect it's been that way for a long time and hopefully will not get worse. Special mention: The LED headlights are AWESOME, illuminates the road in all conditions way better than anything I've ever driven, very high tech. In conclusion, super glad I bought this car, zero regrets. Have put about 3K on it since owning it and it's definitely my favorite for a comfortable commuter.

TourX feels like German luxury

I like a wagon (rare) and instead of getting my 7th (!) Subaru wagon I wanted to try something more unique; the Regal TourX. I love this car. It's fast, sporty, with lots of high tech features such as adaptive cruise control. Let room is great front and back (I'm 6 feet) and it is very low like a sedan so does not have that tall, heavy SUV feel. They made them for 3 years only and luckily it's the same car as the Regal sedan and the wagon is ubiquitous in Europe where it is distributed by Opel so parts will be easy to find.

UPDATE: I purchased this vehicle off the lease because the auto continues to be fabulous. I now have a whopping 17,000 miles on it and it continues to handle beautifully. I am routinely stopped in parking lots by folks who ask me - "Is your car an AUDI or BMW?" Right from the old commercial - I say, "NO - it's a Buick" and they are always surprised. Not quite sure if Buick didn't effectively market this auto, as I only have seen a few. In a sea of sameness - this auto stands out! Leased this auto in October 2018 and I have been thoroughly pleased with everything about it - it has all the options. However, there's no spare tire and if you have a flat, depending on tire wear, you have to replace all four tires because it is AWD. Fortunately, I only had 3,000 miles on the car in August 2019 and I could have only replaced the shredded tire, but I replaced two tires. Worthy to note, this flat tire ocurred on the highway going 70 MPH when a metal object flew off a truck and it was impossible for me to swerve to avoid it. I remembered what my Dad told me - do not break - hold steady and let the car slow down and when safe get it over to the side of the road. This vehicle handled beautifully. Currently I have 8,800 miles on it and with the lease coming due in January 2021 - I'll have to make a decision to purchase or not.
I wish they still made this car!

I bought a used 2018 tourx wagon with 21000 miles on it in 2022, trading in my ford fusion hybrid, and I just love this car! Super reliable, comfortable, and fun to drive! This car has no problem at 90 mph on the highway and handles beautifully! I do have a brick on the bottom of my shoe and tend to drive fast! The advanced collision warnings really works…my trash can being in the way one morning. Service costs at my local Buick dealership are on par with other vehicles I have owned from other American car makers. I have two friends who also own the 2018 regal Tourx essence and love them as much as I do and have had no issues with their cars, which one is at 75,000 miles. The only drawback is you need to use premium gas, but with a German engineered vehicle that is to be expected. A great car for the money, with great styling!

I love everything Opel. I hate everything Buick

The Tourx is a rebadged Opel. As such, it drives like a german car should. 0-60 in under 6.5 seconds, great handling, and quite refined road manors. I bought mine new with everything except the roof rack. I love the car. Now for the issues.... First, the local Buick dealer is a jerk. They installed the trailer hitch wrong and didn't support it. Then with other issues, they want to take the car in and evaluate it for up to 72 hours before scheduling an appointment to fix the car. I didn't buy it from them (because they didn't have one in stock) so they won't give me a free loaner even on warranty work. So I have to drive 30 miles to a different dealer. Second, all the electronics suck. The screen on many occasions just goes black as I'm trying to use it with apple car play to give me directions. I'm told "that happens" (i.e. is normal) when Apple updates my phone. Give it a few days to see if it works itself out - WHAT? The screen will keep asking me for a password (I've learned this is a mybuick website thing). I don't use mybuick because all it gives me is Buick ads. The screen will tell me to update my apps while I'm doing 70 down the expressway. Of course, you can't update them unless the car is in park. And when I get home and try to update them, it says I don't have any to update. Dangerous for no reason. Other little things like the fact that you can't turn off the adaptive part of the cruise which makes it impossible to use in a city or when it gets confused in the rain. It slams on the brakes for no real reason when someone is exiting and still in its field of view (which doesn't really match the lane}. Sometimes lane assist works, sometimes not The electronics in this car are not ready for prime time. I'm a lifelong Buick guy who will never buy another Buick.
