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.

Not Your Neighbor's SUV
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.

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.
