TTQ B4U Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 My dudes...it’s a large AWD Turbo panoramic-roof wagon for $25k... ^^^ this. I drove one when my wife was looking and the interior of them is nice too. You don't see many on the road which is a cool factor IMO. Love the color too!

unfunnyryan Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 That thing is an awesome daily, never seen one before. Very cool and unique. Good for stepping away from the crossover/SUV madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 That thing is an awesome daily, never seen one before. Very cool and unique. Good for stepping away from the crossover/SUV madness. Thank you to all those who congratulated and scorned. I appreciate it! I was ready to step out of the SUV/crossover game because it was definitely not worth the added expense (fuel etc) when a car could have done it just fine. I'm really enjoying the car. Took it for a good drive in the twisties, it does surprisingly well, the tires are a letdown but that's to be expected. You can tell the torque vectoring in the back helps. The auto stop/start is annoying, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I heard putting it in manual mode then flipping back turns it off too. If you don't want to deal with that you can always get a tune to remove it.

I highly recommend you get some solid summer wheels/tires, and keep the factory take-offs as winter shoes. You’ll fall in love every spring when the DD gets clean wheels and way better performance on summer tires, and everything will last longer since you’re speading driving over 2 sets of shoes. Plus, while I do like the styling of the TourX, those factory wheels are a let-down. The car would definitely benefit from some more aggressive wheels.

coltboostin Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I've literally never seen one on the road. Neat. Did they have any more for that price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, while I do like the styling of the TourX, those factory wheels are a let-down. The car would definitely benefit from some more aggressive wheels. Right now, I'm okay with the wheels. I definitely want to replace the tires before winter. I was hoping to use my old Saab wheels but GM, in its brilliancy, decided to return to 5x115 patterns so my 5x120 wheels that I saved cannot be reused. I probably will try the current tires in the snow to see if I can manage, if not, I'm getting new tires. The current tires are the stupid "Conti-Silent" tires with foam inside it. As for more, there's still several 2018s sitting on lots nationwide, I just went for the local one because...local. This was the last one from my dealer.

Jeffrey Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I did a thing as well and found a 2018 Tour X Essence (top trim) for $26,900 (sticker was $40,400) has the options I wanted like radar cruise, and no sunroof. They are literally giving these things away so they probably will not be made for much longer, which is a shame because it truly is a great car. I tried the crossover SUV thing, it just isn't for me. I like the ride and handling of a car but I need more room than a sedan to haul my work equipment. In the 1200 miles I have already driven it, I am averaging 32 mpg. I love wagons!

2 Sweet Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Jesus, you guys are getting some sweet deals. I tried to talk my wife into getting one but she doesn't like wagons apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 That is quite possibly the ugliest new car I’ve ever seen- it looks like a wiener dog. That said, I dig it and would absolutely drive it. Hell of a pick up for $25k!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is optioned similar to mine. Similar price but they even went and found more rebates on top of the sales price, hence why mine was $26,9xx.

It was the last one remaining and it just had the sounds and sights package and that's it. Exactly what I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Always get what you want and be happy. I never use a sunroof so I was happy to find one without it. I drive 30-40k miles a year and mostly highway so adaptive cruise was a must. My first week with the car I put 1500 miles on it and I am loving it.

TTQ B4U Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Not gonna lie, it's in the running as a daily for either my wife or me next. She is also looking at the new Rav 4 Plug in with 300hp. This wagon is good looking for sure though. Offers plenty of room and the feature while not killer are all good. The prices if them used are great which is attracting us to it. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I've been trying to find excuses to get one since I found a new '19 Preferred AWD in black with a 34% discount. I don't like its small engine although the 8sp compensates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Better get one quickly (Dan Tobin has two on their lot), because GM just did GM things.

Jeffrey Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Lame. Mine just turned over 11k miles and has been rock solid. I really hate the SUV buying public. Guess my next work car will be whatever wagon is available in 6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First coupes, manuals, who would have though sedans would die....and wagons; fuck, can't we have anything besides SUV's and Trucks? Add in kids today don't get wood for wheels anymore....America Should be Better. /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
