QUESTION
Should I buy a used Buick Regal TourX or Subaru Outback?
Buy the Subaru Outback if you want the safer used choice. It’s usually easier to own, better for snow and rough roads, has more ground clearance, and parts/service are simpler because it’s common.
Buy the Buick Regal TourX only if you want a more car-like wagon. It drives lower and quieter, feels more like a sport sedan, and is the better pick if you value rarity and mostly drive on paved roads.
Quick verdict:
- Outback: best all-around daily driver, lower-risk used buy
- TourX: best for highway comfort, uniqueness, and a more refined road feel
Used-car tip: compare maintenance records, tires, brakes, accident history, and any body/trim pieces that may be harder to replace on the TourX. Check the current price before buying.
