Top 10 Reasons Why This Is One Badass Buick: 2018 Buick Regal TourX Review 

Tell me why I'm 33 with no kids and I love this wagon😍

Screw all crossovers, I'll take a wagon all day.

In my garage is a 2012 Acura TSX Wagon, and I love driving it every day...simple with great leather seats, a true drivers' vehicle with a wonderful suspension and smooth as butter inline 4. Wagons are cool!

Although I have never been too fond of GM, I have to say that the new Regal lineup is surprisingly good.

I will always love Buick. That wagon looks awesome.

I drove the Opel version of this car during a vacation to visit family in Germany and Austria. I became very familiar with it over almost 4k miles. I came home and configured one in Essence trim and Ebony Twilight Metallic. It is going to be a long 6 to 8 weeks before it arrives!

Wagons are getting more badass every day and I love it. The Subaru Outback, the Volkswagen Sportwagon Alltrack, the Audi Allroad, the Volvo V90, the Mercedes E63S AMG, the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo. Practicality and performance. A thing of beauty.

Buick is rapidly becoming a boutique hipster brand. It's the new Saab. Which is what I will probably end up with when my Saab gets too dated and must become a weekend car.

Waiting for a regal gs wagon, dodge magnum v8, and Cadillac CTS-V wagon

I have this car (as an Opel). The quality is great. No issues at all. The quality has increased dramatically meanwhile.

This is the modern day roadmaster. I have a 1991 oldsmobile custom cruiser. This is the younger sibling and that makes me very excited to see them on the road 😍😀

It's a European car, it's much better than many think. It's cheaper than a Volvo and a Audi but there isn't much you're scarificing

For all those saying this car sucks bcause its a buick ...........this is actually a opel insignia that they rebranded as a buick .......a great european car

I am 35 years old and I really like the looks of the previous gen and current gen Buicks, I also do like certain wagons for the reasons you mentioned. My first car was a late 90s Ford Taurus Wagon. I like the looks and convenience of a wagon, but where I live and the outdoor lifestyle I want to have my next vehicle I am hoping to get a mid size truck or CUV or maybe a Subaru Outback, even though I don't like the sound of a CVT, I like the 8.7 inches of ground clearance. The Tour X probably has 4.5-5 inches of clearance, which sadly won't get me where I want to go as easily and doesn't solve my issue since I already have a car. If I had a truck already and wanted a new daily I could roll with this BadA$$ Buick even with all that armor cladding. :) Great review as always.

Great video and it was great seeing you guys again in Sedona!

Nice job Roman. Very nice Car Buick! Station wagons have always ruled for me! The first car I drove was the family w Beach wagon, a 1968 Chrysler New Yorker Town &Country. My dad ordered with power everything, a stomping 440 Commando 4 brl dual exhaust engine with factory tow package that came with 3:55 posi and front disk brakes. Brand new I remember the sticker said $5,980! But he traded his beloved 1964 Imperial LaBaron Crown Coup he also bought new. But the family was growing and a two door, even as big as that was just not going to cut it with four brats. That Beach wagon was as great a car as I’ve ever driven in the pre emissions age. It got 8-15 mpg, but gas was around $.30-40/cents gal! That Car was surprisingly fast! It could light up both tires and more that bury the speedo. What I mean by that it the speedo was across from left to right in a straight line, with a small space between it and then a clock, my buddy and I more than once had the speedo needle all the way PASSED the speedo to 3oclock!!! While the engine was screaming!! My dad could not figure out why the mufflers kept blowing out!

This is the reason why I love my Subaru Outback 2.0D Sport. It's the perfect car for every situation. I love your channel! Great from Germany 😀

@Roman- you nailed the reason why wagons fell out of favor before when looking at Alfa Romeo Stelvio vs Guilia. Ride height. Much easier to slide across or climb up than squat down.

That Buick (GM) is just a Holden Commodore wagon here in Australia. It’s also an Opel or a Vauxhall in different markets. There’s a name for the system that moves power left/right - it’s called Torque vectoring.

Excellent review, learned a lot. I'm 5' 9" and with me in the drivers seat lots of leg room behind me for the back seat passenger

Love this. Been waiting for this review. Thanks!

It's a nice looking ride. Maybe FCA should bring back the Magnum.

You two are hilarious! Keep 'em comin'. Nice review, good info. Cool ride, looking at getting one now. Love that it's different than anything else out on the road.

Just ordered mine today! Very excited

Buick did good, but General Mistake; what's with the 14 gallon fuel tank? at EPA 24mpg combined, that's 343 miles range to empty... Outback will give you 518 miles (4cyl) or 407 miles (H6)... Auto manufacturers are building cars with fuel economy in mind and they forget the fuel autonomy!

the wagons are coming back into style. chevy wagon 2020!!

I see BIG incentives in this 40 grand Opel’s/Buick’s future!

What our friends across the pond would call an estate. We call them wagons in the States. Just like calling a 2 door or a 4 door a coupe or a salon respectively.

Really not that bad. If I could afford it, I'd go for the V90 Cross Country, but this is a pleasant alternative.

Sweet. Your take on my #1 choice right now for a new car. TourX is certainly quick. For a big car or felt small. I loved it. Red is my choice of color. LoL

Well damn if you didn’t convince me to buy a MDX a lil bit ago, I’d buy one of these.

That is an Opel insignia in Spain :0

Styling is on point.

Any chance you can do a roller test on this one? Curious about the awd system and how it handles slip control

A Regal TourX GS? That would be incredible.

I notice the front lights seem to be all led, but how about the rear? Turn signals, brake lights?

At 80k my 2011 Regal's transmission failed and was replaced. A couple weeks later the timing chain jumped and destroyed the engine. Fortunately Buick had a 5yr/100k warranty...Now it's 60k. The car was terrific, I would invest in an extended warranty if I bought one again. It is an awesome driving car for the record.

For those who think that Buicks are old man's cars. Yes! My grandfather had a brand new'71 Skylark GS with a HO 455 and he drove me from NY to Florida nailed to the floor and we did 110 mph for two straight states.

Just bought one! Wanted one since they came out.

drove one last week, really fun and easy to drive, quiet with very comfortable seats but the one I drove, the Preferred at $37,000+ only come with cloth, the leather is only available on the essence and the safety packages are not standard. For leather and safety that's 42 to 44 thousands.... The outback 3.6 with maybe less interesting driving dynamics may still for me a better choice

I bought one last week for the wife and its absolutely amazing. Fully loaded for a 2018 for 31k out the door. Awesome!

These roads don't exist in Atlanta, GA. I'm driving a 2013 Regal GS that I really like. Thinking about this one for my hour+ commute and can still tote my clubs and tennis gear at the same time...

It seems like when they were talking about competitors they went out of their way to not mention Subaru.

I really like this car but hate the black cladding. Give us more horse power please.

You would never believe the trails I've been on in this car

The 42 people who disliked this video couldn't handle the badassary

Great Video. I Big fan of wagon. I have a VW wagon also had a Audi allroad. for the price of this Buick TourX I will stop by and take a test drive. at the end of the day the only real comparison is drive it your self vs putting down a product base what we see on online.

took the americans quite a while to find out that in terms of practicality station wagons are dope... in Europe we are driving them since always ^^

Guys, we know it’s cool. I love station wagons. But what about the ride quality and comfortable ride? Is it up to Buick standards? I have a Lincoln MKT turbo which i love, but really wish had more of a quieter cabin, plusher ride, and bump/road irregularity mitigation. What’s your professional opinion based on your experience?

I love this wagon!!! There must be a Buick dealer somewhere in SoCal…

Hopefully this will prompt Dodge to bring back the Magnum

I love wagons. Sadly, I couldn't afford one last year because all the used ones are now wicked expensive and dieselgate sucked so many off the road.

Makes me miss my 73 Pontiac wagon. Wish I could justify buying one of these but my 2013 Avalon does what I need.

It needs the Pontiac Aztek tent option.

I haven’t really concentrated on Opel’s past. Have they had reliability issues?

Nice looking car. Headlights are very similar to the new Volvo Thor's hammer lights. Wouldn't give up my Grand Cherokee for it or any wagon but I do love hatches and the usability. Regret selling my GTI Mark V to buy a Volvo S60 R-Design.

I'm wondering if they gave the TourX some additional ground clearance then maybe they might attract buyers considering the Subaru Outback?

LOVE my 2019 Regal TourX

Did it use the Chevrolet parts bin for the interior?

I’d buy this used seems like Buick is bringing more youthful vehicles.

All you reviewers harp about how great wagons are and more should be made. Now it's here, ya'll better buy them.

Not once have they mentioned a Subaru Outback being it’s main competition. It’s like they were told not to ;)

I Own this same car with the name Opel insignia Country Tourer 2019 with a 2.0 CDTI Bi-turbo diesel 210 hp engine and 480 Nm of torque. Yes, I consider it Badass. My 2016 Isuzu D´Max does some things and the Opel Insignia does others. A spectacular binomia. I love them.

Is it a v6 or does it offer it?

Great looking wagon! Please make a Regal GS Wagon too and I will give you a deposit tomorrow.

audi, bmw, volkswagen, volvo they are all european cars, just like this rebadged opel :D come on guys say it is a german made opel insignia! people might buy it

This vehicle is not designed for off roading, it has awd that can help you in a slippery situation. For off roading take a Wrangler or any other car designed for that task. I personally like this car, it has the proper size for my needs. I think this car is not available in my country

The new Holden Commodore looks nice.

I saw one the other day.... It's beautiful.

8:44 - you guys almost lost your kidneys during this quite smooth dirt road drive

This segment is THE top seller in Europe where "off-roading" is a fictional term. Coupe/sedan handling and near SUV cargo space...I doubt American's will ever get it because shear size and forward/higher view will always trump handling.

When a $40k Model 3 is available I wanna see a MASHUP!

Badass wagon=Flex Ecoboost AWD...but I'm considering the TourX as a DD and let the wife have the Flex. Ok, probably switch back and fourth as I do love the Flex- Flex for highway and TourX for back roads sounds like a nice one-two punch of wagon badassery.

Is this the first Buick station wagon

I'm surprised no one from Australia has said that this wagon if actually a holden commodore here in Australia, but now they manufacture holdens in Germany which the guy said is were it's built so yeah, it's probably Holden rebranded for different countries and markets. If im wrong, tell me.

I love wagons. This is an impressive machine. Good Job Buick☺

Nice Wagon, Buick is become better now. I think I'm going to get one for me, ooh hey..can i put some lift on it... will they make Lift kit for this vehicle since its rally capable...

I want one!

Nice Opel

Northern AZ has so many dirt roads to explore!

Does it tow?

#mazda are you listening? Bring in the Mazda 6 Wagon!

Why doesn't Buick rhyme with quick???

is the subaru outback a wagon?

Nice actually

Would have been more badass if your tester had the panoramic roof. And even more badass if Buick would make the wagon have the upper GS trim and engine. And yes, everyone knows this is an Opel Insignia(as you mentioned several times in the video, and multiple people saying so in the comnents here). It's been that way for the Regal for a while now (since Saturn died out because some Saturns were Opels too). And the Encore is an Opel Mokka and the Cascada is well a Cascada (didn't even bother to change the name on that one). BFD people! Why is this always a matter of discussion and a point everyone feels compelled to make? Everyone points this out as if it's a horrible thing. Again, it's been this way for a while. GM owned Opel so they codesigned vehicles for use across multiple brands to be sold in multiple markets. Several car manufacturers do this, and it keeps prices down, so bonus for us the consumer. The auto industry is completely global now people.

The minivan is the new Station Wagon that young people hate. Today's kids will hate Crossovers.

need a gnx

I am seriously considering this wagon. My first preference is a Volvo V60 but they are considerably more expensive. However, I had a very bad experience with my first car out of college. It was a Chevy S10 Tahoe SUV and the damned thing had sounds coming out of everywhere. It was a terrible truck and I regretted ever buying it. Lots of defects and problems. I promised I would never give GMAC another chance hence when I went looking for another SUV I settled on a 2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5. I love my 4Runner but it does present a problem when I have to take my mom to visit her doctors. It is high enough to make it somewhat difficult for her to climb aboard. Hence my decision to start looking at wagons. Despite my reservations with GMAC I am seriously considering this vehicle.

For all them times I leave my jeep at home and take the Buick back roading. Please redo video on how we would use the car.

Good looking car

The warmed-over 2.8L, direct-injected, twin-turbo version is the one to wait for...

love wagons!

Shocked there wasn't more leg room in that back seat. It looks like you could fit a casket in this thing behind the front seats. (visual pun intended).

is the outback a wagon

SEXY AF INDEED! I absolutely love the versatility of the wagon and am saddened my MK4 Jetta sedan has the silly parcel shelf in back so I very much want to chop the roof off a Eurovan and weld it to the back essentially creating something like the VW MK2 Caddy. I think it would be fun to get that Buick wagon and swap out an Opel grill and badges...

I like this car. I’d drive it if I had the budget to spend $30k.

Good looking car but I'll stick with Subaru Outback which this would also compete with but I didn't hear mentioned.

This is where the Holden Commodore comes from now

This vehicle is so awesome. Canada loves wagons, but Buick decided not to give this to us. Please tell Buick USA to tell Canada to bring them in!
