Too new to be sure, but this seems great

I really like the car. It is as close as I could get to my beloved Saab 9-5 Arch wagon. It is the best looking wagon on the market, and it drives beautifully.

Most luxurious and stylish car i"ve ever owned

This car has it all, the look and room of a stylish suv but still a car . All the comforts of space and luxury but the gas mileage of a sedan. I absolutely love it my first buick and i am in love!!!

Versatile cruiser

I wanted a car that had good gas mileage, lots of cargo room, good for a long work commute, and would be reliable. This fit the bill perfectly and I couldn’t be happier!

Engine problems already

The seal on moonroof keeps coming off. The brakes squeaking and now the engine light came on today with a message that the engine needs to power down. It's in the dealership hopefully getting fixed. I love this car, but it's a year old with these issues, I'm not optimistic.

Smooth, fun vehicle.

I've never owned a Buick before. This is not your parents Wagon. It's great with plenty of cargo. Fuel economy is much better than any SUV. I love this Buick Wagon. I wish Buick did a better job passing the word around on their products.

Bought this after owning Audi’s

Got tired of expensive repair bills after owning my third Audi, so I bought a 2018 Buick Regal TourX. It’s not quite as good as an Audi, but pretty close, and way less expensive to own. The transmission is a little sluggish compared to an Audi, but it’s not bad. The interior is great. Audi is a bit better at paying attention to small details, but any complaints I have are minor. Has lots of great features. Infotainment is intuitive and easy to use. I would recommend this car to a friend

Buyer Beware !!!!!!

WE had several issues with the 2018 Buick Regal TourX, wrong color mirror on the driver side, molding on rear quarter panel loss,backup grid did not work as it was designed. AT about 2500 miles we ad a very loud squeal from under the hood, this was a louse positive cable going to the fuse block that had come loose, Then we had a grinding noise from the front end that turned out to that the front lower control arms were not designed properly had to be replaced. We were told by GM that they were working on a patch to correct the backup grid problem. We had the vehicle for six months and were told at least five times that a patch was coming but it never happened I do not think that GM was going or trying to correct the problem with the backup grid.

Triple Threat

I bought this car in December expecting NOT to use it as my daily driver. Yet time and again, as I leave the house for work or for errands, I find myself "discovering reasons" why I should take the Tour X instead of my other cars. The more I think about it I realize it's the super-quiet cabin that has hooked me. I have the 2.0L turbo four and it's spirited enough for my needs, although I find myself wincing a bit at the pump. Realistically I have been getting 19-20 mpg around town; I think only Grandma could consistently achieve the reported 22-24 city by letting the 8-speed auto do it's thing (it's very reluctant to downshift unless really prodded). All this said, I stand by my calling this car the triple threat: roomy and comfortable enough in both front AND back for Gramps, quiet and serene enough for Mom, and capable and quick enough for Dad. All this with 73 cu ft of cargo space to boot. Now I can sell my Odyssey. So far, 3 months with this car and I love it. Only minor annoyance so far is the main USB port conked out after 2 weeks and there is rattling noise under hard braking that I will have checked out. All else is rock solid!

A great AWD option instead of yet another SUV

For my lifestyle I've always liked wagons. And we've owned over a dozen Subarus over the years including Outbacks but the Buick TourX is a definite cut above. It replaced a 2016 Lincoln MKX 2.7 Ecoboost and we're not disappointed in any way.

finally a car with good cargo capacity!!!

I was in the market for a small SUV with large cargo capacity to replace an ageing Aztek (91 cu ft cargo capacity). Unfortunately, SUVs similar in size on the outside are much smaller on the inside, and the larger SUVs are too big for somebody only 5 feet tall to get in and out of, load up, or even see out of. This wagon was a great alternative for me, and has more cargo capacity than the SUVs I looked at, along with a better ride, better visibility, and much better gas mileage. The AWD was a necessity for me (living in upstate NY). I have gotten a huge amount of compliments on it, and friends with SUVs even say they really like it. Got a great deal buying at the end of the year (about $9k off the sticker). Hope to keep it for a long time!
